Generator
The 120AH generator is fitted with a special casing
to enable it to be bolted directly to the engine via
three fixing points.
On the manual transmission vehicles, sudden
deceleration may result in generator momentum
driving the belt against the engine which is
slowing down, with possible effects on the life of
the drive belt. The generator pulley fitted to the
manual transmission vehicle incorporates a clutch
mechanism which allows it to freewheel in the
reverse drive (anti-clockwise) direction. Note that
a special tool is required to remove the pulley.
To improve generator control on all
engine/transmission variants, the generator now
has a four pin connector to provide two new
sensing signals:
¥ pin S is directly connected to the battery to
provide voltage feedback to the regulator
¥ the regulator senses field current and
produces a PWM signal from pin FR to the
PCM to indicate the generator duty cycle.

Drive Belt Tensioner
The drive belt tensioner is a similar type to that
fitted to the V8 engines. An index on the
tensioned arm rotates with wear against three
markings on the tensioner spring cap which
indicate the minimum and maximum lengths for a
new belt and the point at which the belt must be
replaced.

Manual Transmission AJ-V6/AJ28
66With a conventional clutch, increased lining wear
causes the angle of the actuating diaphragm
spring to change as the pressure plate moves
axially towards the engine, requiring a greater
force to operate the clutch (diaphragm actuating
force varies with diaphragm angle). The self
adjusting clutch eliminates the problem by
allowing the diaphragm spring to follow the axial
movement of the pressure plate thus maintaining
the diaphragm spring at the same angle
throughout the life of the clutch. As well as
maintaining a constant pedal pressure, the clamp
force on the pressure plate also remains constant
with wear.
The operation is shown in the diagram. The
diaphragm spring is not fixed at its rotation point
like the conventional system but pivots between a
sensor spring and an adjuster ring. The sensor
spring provides a counter force which is just
sufficient to retain the diaphragm spring axially
against the cover via the adjuster ring and during
normal actuation of the clutch. As the linings
wear, the tendency of the diaphragm angle to
change causes an increase in the actuation force
required to operate the clutch. When this
increased effort exceeds the counter force of the
sensor spring, the diaphragm spring moves axially
towards the pressure plate until the original angle
is restored. At this point the actuation force
required drops to the level of the opposing sensor
spring force, restoring equilibrium with the
diaphragm spring at its new location.
During the axial movement of the diaphragm
spring, the increased distance between the spring
and cover is taken up by the adjuster ring. This
ring has fifteen raised segments, each having a
ramp profile which fits into a corresponding
shape in the clutch cover. When the diaphragm
spring moves axially for wear compensation,
three pre-loaded coil springs in the clutch cover
cause the adjuster ring to rotate, moving up the
ramps and taking up the extra distance between
the diaphragm spring and clutch cover.
Note that, in operation, the adjuster ring rotates
in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the
transmission. If a worn driven plate is replaced in
service and the clutch cover assembly is to be re-
used, the adjuster ring must be rotated back to its
pre-loaded position (see JTIS service instructions).
