specified, bleed system and inspect hydraulic and clutch components.
See CLUTCH PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.
CLUTCH PEDAL INTERLOCK SWITCH
1) Place transmission in Neutral and apply parking brake.
Turn ignition switch to START position with clutch pedal not
depressed. Engine should not crank. If engine cranks, adjust or
replace interlock switch.
2) Disconnect interlock switch connector. Interlock switch
connector is located at clutch pedal. Depress and release interlock
switch. Using ohmmeter, check continuity between interlock switch
terminals. If continuity exists with interlock switch depressed and
does not exist with switch released, switch is okay. Adjust or replace
as necessary.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

cable connection and exhaust pipe mounting bracket. Remove lower
bellhousing cover. Disconnect clutch cable from clutch lever.
4) Support transmission with jack. Remove rear engine mount
nuts and bolts from transmission. Remove crossmember with rear engine
mount. Remove remaining bellhousing bolts, move transmission toward
rear and lower from vehicle.
5) If reusing pressure plate, index mark pressure plate to
flywheel for installation reference. Install a clutch alignment tool
to prevent pressure plate and clutch disc from dropping. Loosen
pressure plate bolts gradually in a crisscross pattern to avoid
warping pressure plate flange during removal. Remove pressure plate
and clutch disc. See Fig. 3.
Inspection

.02" (.5 mm).
3) Check facing of clutch disc for loose rivets, uneven
contact, deterioration, seizure or oil saturation. Measure distance
from clutch disc surface to head of rivet. Replace clutch disc if
distance is less than .012" (.30 mm). Replace worn or defective
components as necessary. See Fig. 4.
CAUTION: Install clutch disc with manufacturer's stamp mark (located
near hub of clutch disc) toward pressure plate.
Installation
1) Using a clutch alignment tool, install pressure plate and
clutch disc. If reusing pressure plate, ensure index marks are
aligned. Tighten bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . See Fig. 3.
2) Clean release bearing sliding surface. DO NOT clean
Page 261 of 1501
release bearing with solvent. Apply a light coat of multipurpose
grease to release bearing sliding surface. Apply a very light coating
of grease to input shaft splines. DO NOT allow grease or dirt on
clutch disc or pressure plate surfaces.
3) To install remaining components, reverse removal
procedure. Refill all fluids to proper levels. Adjust all control
cables, clutch pedal height and free play. See CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS. See Fig. 1.

control switch or hole cover. Disconnect rear console harness
connector. Remove side panel. Remove rear console assembly. Remove
shift lever knob(s). Remove floor console harness connector. Remove
front console assembly.
2) Move transmission lever to Neutral position and transfer
lever to 4H (4WD high range) position. Remove control lever boot
retainer and boot. Remove transmission and transfer control lever
assemblies. Remove control lever bushing (transmission), gaskets and
stopper plates.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove skid plate and front
exhaust pipe. Drain transmission and transfer case fluid. Index mark
front and rear drive shaft flanges. Remove front and rear drive
shafts.
4) Remove drive shaft dust seals. Disconnect HI/LO and
2WD/4WD detection switch connectors. Disconnect back-up light switch
connector. Disconnect center differential lock detection switch
connector. Disconnect center differential lock operation switch
connector. Disconnect 4WD operation detection switch.
5) Disconnect speedometer cable. Remove clutch slave cylinder
heat shield. Remove clutch slave cylinder (without disconnecting
hydraulic line) and wire aside. Remove starter and starter cover.
Remove heat shield, both transmission stays and bellhousing lower
cover.
6) Support transmission with transmission jack. Remove
transfer case roll stopper and bracket. Remove crossmember and engine
mounting rear insulator. Remove transfer case protector bracket and
mass damper. Remove remaining bellhousing bolts. Pull toward rear of
vehicle to free transmission input shaft from clutch. Lower
transmission/transfer assembly from vehicle.
7) If reusing pressure plate, mark pressure plate to flywheel
for installation reference. Insert a clutch alignment tool to prevent
pressure plate and clutch disc from dropping. Loosen pressure plate
bolts gradually in a crisscross pattern to avoid warping pressure
plate flange during removal. Remove pressure plate and clutch disc.

Inspection
1) Check release bearing and release fork for damage or wear.
Page 262 of 1501
DO NOT clean release bearing assembly in solvent. Inspect hydraulic
system components for fluid leakage. Inspect cylinder dust boot for
cracks or deterioration.
2) Inspect pressure plate surface for wear, cracks, and/or
discoloration. Measure diaphragm spring ends for wear and uneven
height. Replace assembly if height difference between fingers exceeds
.02" (.5 mm).
3) Check facing of clutch disc for loose rivets, uneven
contact, deterioration, seizure or oil saturation. Measure depth from
clutch disc surface to head of rivet. Replace clutch disc if
measurement is less than .012" (.30 mm). See Fig. 4. Replace worn or
defective components as necessary.
