CHAPTER 16:

Clutch System

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
SELF ADJUSTING CLUTCH(S.A.C.) COVER
a. As a clutch disc facing is worn away according to its durability, a cover weight is increasing and a clutch pedal
pressure can be more needed.
b. To make up for this defect, the self adjusting clutch system makes the requsted pedal pressure minimized so that
makes the maintenance cycle longer.
CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER-C.S.C.
It improves working efficiency and lowers the number and the weight of part by unifing clutch release control
parts(clutch release bearing ~ clutch release cylinder) in a manual transaxle.
OPERATION
CONCENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER-C.S.C
When the clutch pedal is pressed, oil pressure is transmitted along the arrow directions shown below and that moves
the clutch slave cylinder and the diaphragm spring of the clutch cover.

Clutch Cover And Disc

COMPONENTS

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
REPLACEMENT
1.Remove a transaxle assembly (refer to 'MT'- group).
2. Remove the clutch cover bolts. Not to be bent or twisted, loosen them in diagonal directions.
3.Remove the clutch cover and disc.
4. Using the SST(09411- 43000), install a clutch disc and cover.
a. Replace a clutch cover and disc as a set.
* Possible problems when not following the caution
a. When replacing only a disc, slip problem can occur because of the initial clamp load loss by the adjusting
ring's unusual work.
b. When replacing only a disc, it can be difficult to cut power because the thickness of the disc cannot be
permitted.
b. Apply grease on a disc spline part and transmission input shaft spline part as required.
* Possible problems when not following
a. When not applying: Excessively wear of splines and bad clutch operation
b. When excessively applying: Scattered grease by centrifugal force conteminates the clutch disc. Loss of friction
force can cause a slip
c. The 'T/M SIDE' marked surface should face the transaxle.
→ If the surface face the opposite side, there can be an interference between a disc and a flywheel surface.

5.Tighten the clutch cover.
TORQUE:
24.5~35.3Nm (250~360kgf.cm, 18.1~26.0lb - ft) (6EA)
When installing the clutch cover, tighten the bolts in diagonal directions not to be bent or twisted.
* Possible problems when not following
a. When tightening the bolt completely at a time: the clutch cover can be twisted and vibration can occur.
b. On vehicles with self adjusting clutches, it is necessary to follow this caution.
c. Not following tightening torque: There can be bad torque transmission in clutch and relaxation possibility of
bolts.
INSPECTION
1.Inspect diaphragm spring wear which is in contact with a concentric slave cylinder bearing.

2.Check the clutch cover and disc surface for wear or crack.
3. Check the clutch disc lining for slipping or oil mark.
4. Measure the depth from a clutch lining surface to a rivet. If the measured value is less than the specification below,
replace it.
Specification: 0.3mm(0.0118inch)

Clutch Master Cylinder

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
REMOVAL
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
1. Remove the brake fluid fron the clutch master cylinder reservoir with a syringe.
2. Clamp the clutch master cylinder hose(A). If there is no enough room for clamping, you can also clamp the hose
from the brake master cylinder side.
3.Disconnect the hose(A) from the cylinder by releasing the clutch master cylinder clamp.
4.Remove the clutch master cylinder mounting bolts(A,B).
One is the engine room, the other near the clutch pedal assembly.
