equivalently rigid tool such as a jack or trestle. Securely support
bottom of engine and transaxle, and simultaneously adjust hoist
tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.

cle downward by carefully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:

During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with body side.

Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.

During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.

If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.Slinger bolts:

to figure of components. Refer to EM-222, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .

Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-18, "Air Bleeding" .

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

method hold crankshaft pulley with the pulley holder (special
service tool: KV10109300) to remove flywheel.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble flywheel.

Do not place flywheel with signal plate facing down.

When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.

Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.
c. Install the engine sub-attachment (special service tool) to the
rear side of cylinder block.

Align knock pins on cylinder block with pin holes on attach-
ment to install.
NOTE:
Installation bolts are part of engine sub-attachment.
d. Install the engine stand shaft (special service tool).
NOTE:
Use commercially available M12 (0.47 in) mounting bolts and
nuts (4 sets) with strength grade of 9T (minimum).

FLYWHEEL DEFLECTION

Measure the deflection of flywheel contact surface to clutch with
a dial indicator.

Measure the deflection at 210 mm (8.27 in) dia.

If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
CAUTION:
When measuring, keep magnetic fields (such as dial indicator
stand) away from signal plate of the rear end of crankshaft.
MOVEMENT AMOUNT OF FLYWHEEL
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble double mass flywheel.
Movement Amount of Thrust (Fore-and-Aft) Direction

Measure the movement amount of thrust (fore-and-aft) direction when 100 N (10.2 kg, 22 lb) force is
added at the portion of 125 mm (4.92 in) radius from the center of flywheel.

If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
Movement Amount in Radial (Rotation) Direction
Check the movement amount of radial (rotation) direction with the following procedure:
1. Install a bolt to clutch cover mounting hole, and place a torque wrench on the extended line of the flywheel
center line.

Tighten bolt at a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) to keep it from loosening.
2. Put a mating mark on circumferences of the two flywheel
masses without applying any load (Measurement standard
points).
3. Apply a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) in each direction,
and mark the movement amount on the mass on the transaxle
side.
4. Measure the dimensions of movement amounts “A” and “B” on
circumference of the flywheel on the transaxle side.

If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.Standard : 0.45 mm (0.0177 in) or less.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

If release bearing is seized, damaged, not properly centered or
does not rotate smoothly, replace it.

If contact surface of withdrawal lever is excessively worn,
replace it.

If dust cover is cracked, replace it.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

Be sure to apply grease to the points specified. Otherwise, noise, poor disengagement, or damage
to the clutch may result. Excessive grease may cause slip or judder. Wipe off any grease oozing
from the parts.

Be careful not to bring any grease to the clutch disk facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel
surface.
1. Following the instructions below, apply grease to the specified points.
CAUTION:
Wipe off any old grease, debris, or powdery residue left on the grease applying surfaces.

Evenly apply approximately 1 mm (0.04 in) thick coating of recommended grease to withdrawal lever
and release bearing sliding surface.

Apply recommended grease to withdrawal lever ball pin contact surface and inner slots of release bear-
ing. The grease surface should be level with the surrounding area.

Apply a thin coat of recommended grease evenly to release bearing sliding surface. Install release
bearing. Wipe off any excess grease that oozes from the parts and then remove release bearing.
2. Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Before installing manual transaxle to the vehicle, make sure that each sliding surface slides
smoothly by operating withdrawal lever.

When assembling, make sure that both ends of snap
spring touch the end face of withdrawal lever. (For YD
engine models)

Be careful with the orientation snap spring. (For YD
engine models)
