B: INSPECTION
1. RELEASE BEARING
CAUTION:
Since this bearing is grease sealed and is of a nonlu-
brication type, do not wash with gasoline or any sol-
vent when servicing the clutch.
1) Check the bearing for smooth movement by applying
force in the radial direction.
Radial direction stroke:
FWD; Approx.
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
AWD; Approx.
1.4 mm (0.055 in)
G2M0240
2) Check the bearing for smooth rotation by applying pres-
sure in the thrust direction.
3) Check wear and damage of bearing case surface con-
tacting with lever.
G2M0241
2. RELEASE LEVER
Check lever pivot portion and the point of contact with
release bearing case for wear.
C: INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Before or during assembling, lubricate the following
points with a light coat of grease.
Inner groove of release bearing
Contact surface of lever and pivot
Contact surface of lever and bearing
Transmission main shaft spline (Use grease contain-
ing molybdenum disulphide.)

3. Release Bearing and Lever - 4. Clutch Disc and Cover

1. Clutch System
Condition Possible cause and testing Corrective action
1. Clutch slip-
pageIt is hard to perceive clutch slippage in the early stage, but pay attention to the following symptoms.
(a) Engine revs up when shifting.
(b) High speed driving is impossible; especially rapid acceleration impossible and vehicle speed does not increase in
proportion to an increase in engine speed.
(c) Power falls, particularly when ascending a slope, and there is a smell of burning of the clutch facing.
Method of testing: Put the vehicle in stationary condition with parking brake fully applied. Disengage the clutch and
shift the transmission gear into the first. Gradually allow the clutch to engage while gradually increasing the engine
speed. The clutch function is satisfactory if the engine stalls. However, the clutch is slipping if the vehicle does not
start off and the engine does not stall.
(a) No clutch pedal play Readjust.
(b) No release lever end play Readjust.
(c) Clutch facing smeared by oil Replace.
(d) Worn clutch facing Replace.
(e) Deteriorated diaphragm spring Replace.
(f ) Distorted pressure plate or flywheel Correct or replace.
(g) Defective release bearing holder Correct or replace.
(h) Defective pedal and cable system Correct or replace.
2. Clutch
drags.As a symptom of this trouble, a harsh scratching noise develops and control becomes quite difficult when shifting
gears. The symptom becomes more apparent when shifting into the first gear. However, because much trouble of the
this sort is due to defective synchronization mechanism, carry out the test as described after.
Method of testing: Refer to DIAGNOSTIC DIAGRAM on page after.
It may be judged as insufficient disengagement of clutch if any noise occurs during this test.
(a) Excessive clutch pedal play Readjust.
(b) Excessive clutch release lever play Readjust.
(c) Worn or rusty clutch disc hub spline Replace clutch disc.
(d) Excessive deflection of clutch disc facing Correct or replace.
(e) Seized crankshaft pilot needle bearing Replace.
(f ) Malfunction of pedal and cable system Correct or replace.
(g) Cracked clutch disc facing Replace.
(h) Sticked clutch disc (smeared by oil or water) Replace.
3. Clutch chat-
ters.Clutch chattering is an unpleasant vibration to the whole body when the vehicle is just started with clutch partially
engaged.
(a) Improper clutch cable routing Correct.
(b) Adhesion of oil on the facing Replace clutch disc.
(c) Weak or broken torsion spring Replace clutch disc.
(d) Defective facing contact or excessive disc Replace clutch disc defection.
(e) Warped pressure plate or flywheel Correct or replace.
(f ) Loose disc rivets Replace clutch disc.
(g) Loose engine mounting Retighten or replace mounting.
(h) Improper adjustment of pitching stopper Adjustment.

1. Clutch System

Condition Possible cause and testing Corrective action
4. Noisy
clutchExamine whether the noise is generated when the clutch is disengaged, engaged, or partially engaged.
(a) Broken, worn or unlubricated release bearing Replace release bearing.
(b) Insufficient lubrication of pilot bearing Apply grease.
(c) Loose clutch disc hub Replace clutch disc.
(d) Loose torsion spring retainer Replace clutch disc.
(e) Deteriorated or broken torsion spring Replace clutch disc.
5. Clutch
grabs.When starting the vehicle with the clutch partially engaged, the clutch engages suddenly and the vehicle jumps
instead of making a smooth start.
(a) Grease or oil on facing Replace clutch disc.
(b) Deteriorated cushioning spring Replace clutch disc.
(c) Worn or rusted spline of clutch disc or mainTake off rust, apply grease or replace clutch shaft disc or
mainshaft.
(d) Deteriorated or broken torsion spring Replace clutch disc.
(e) Loose engine mounting Retighten or replace mounting.
(f ) Deteriorated diaphragm spring Replace.
