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
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Removal (2WD Models)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove shift knob, dust
cover retaining plate, gaskets, stopper plate and control lever
assembly. Raise and support vehicle.
2) Remove front exhaust pipe. Drain transmission fluid. Index
mark drive shaft flange and remove drive shaft.
3) Disconnect back-up light switch connector, speedometer
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
1) Check release bearing and release fork for damage or wear.
DO NOT clean release bearing assembly in solvent.
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 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 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.

Courtesy of Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America.
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. Tighten bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
2) Clean release bearing sliding surface. Apply a light
coating of multipurpose grease to release bearing sliding surface.
Page 263 of 1501
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.
CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING & RELEASE FORK
Removal (2WD Models)
1) Remove transmission. See CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. Remove return
clips, release bearing and carrier. Use a punch to remove shift arm
spring pin and release lever assembly. Remove shift arm, felt packing
and 2 return springs. See Fig. 5.
2) Ensure release bearing turns freely and smoothly under
light load. Replace bearing if noise, roughness or dryness is present.
DO NOT clean bearing in solvent. Use shop towel or compressed air
only.
Installation
1) Insert lever and shaft into left side of transmission
case. Place shift arm, felt packing and return springs on shaft
assembly. Apply grease to inside of bushing and oil seal lips. Apply
oil to felt packing.
2) Align shift arm pin and control shaft pin holes. Drive
spring pins into position, with slit area upward. Reverse removal
procedure to complete installation. Check pedal height and free play.
Adjust if necessary. See CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS.
Removal (4WD Models)
1) Remove transmission. See CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. Remove return
spring or clips, and remove release bearing.
2) Slide release fork toward outside of transmission and
disengage from fulcrum ball. DO NOT slide release fork toward inside
of case, or damage to fulcrum ball clip will result. Remove release
fork boot.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply grease to
fulcrum ball contact area of release fork before installing. Fill
groove of release bearing inside diameter with grease before
installing. See Fig. 5.

ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay (i.e.,
engine compression).
VALVE CLEARANCE
VALVE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: All models use hydraulic valve lifters. Adjustment is not
required.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS
1) Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Remove valve
cover. Position cylinder No. 1 at TDC on compression stroke. On 4-
cylinder engines, check intake rockers on cylinders No. 1 and 2. Check
exhaust rockers on cylinders No. 1 and 3. On V6 engines, check intake
rockers on cylinders No. 1, 5 and 6. Check exhaust rockers on
cylinders No. 1, 2 and 3.
2) Push downward on end of rocker arm, above lash adjuster.
Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees. On 4-cylinder engines, check intake
rockers on cylinders No. 3 and 4. Check exhaust rockers on cylinders
No. 2 and 4. On V6 engines, check intake rockers on cylinders No. 2, 3
and 4. Check exhaust rockers on cylinders No. 4, 5 and 6. If lash
adjuster is normal, it will feel solid.
3) If lash adjuster moves downward easily when pushed,
replace adjuster. If lash adjuster feels soft or spongy, air has
probably entered lash adjuster. If this occurs, check engine oil
level. If engine oil level is okay, check oil screen and oil screen
gasket for damage.
4) After repairing cause of air ingestion, warm engine to
operating temperature. Drive vehicle at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Turn engine off for a few minutes.
5) Restart engine and drive at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Repeat this step several times for about one hour. This helps
remove air from engine oil.
IGNITION TIMING
NOTE: Perform all checks with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position. Ignition timing check procedure for Eclipse 2.0L
non-turbo not available from manufacturer at time of
publication.
Diamante
1) Ignition timing is controlled by Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) and is not adjustable. Manufacturer provides procedure for
checking timing. DO NOT attempt to adjust ignition timing by rotating

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
AXLE SHAFTS R & I
Removal
1) Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels and undercover.
Ensure hub is in free-wheeling position. Place transfer case in 2H
position. Remove drive hub cover, snap ring and shim from axle shaft.
See Fig. 3 . Remove brake calipers and support aside.
2) Disconnect tie rod assembly. Support lower control arm
with jack. Separate ball joints from knuckle. Remove knuckle and front
hub assembly. Using flat-blade pry bar, carefully remove left axle
shaft from differential carrier. DO NOT damage oil seal. On right axle
shaft, remove axle shaft-to-inner shaft flange retaining bolts. Remove
right axle shaft.
CAUTION: Replace circlips on BJ/DOJ splined shaft end.
Installation
1) Install right axle shaft on inner shaft flange. Install
new circlip on DOJ side of left axle shaft. Carefully install left
