Pressure Plate and Clutch Disc

Check the diaphragm spring fingers height using the special tool and feeler gauge. If the height is more than the service limit, replace the pressure plate.
Standard (New): 0.6 mm (0.02 inch) max.
Service Limit: 0.8 mm (0.03 inch)

Inspect for warpage using a straight edge (A) and feeler gauge (B). Measure across the pressure plate (C). If the warpage is more than the service limit, replace the pressure plate.
Standard (New): 0.03 mm (0.001 inch) max.
Service Limit: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch)

Measure the clutch disc thickness. If the thickness is less than the service limit, replace the clutch disc.
Standard (New): 8.6 - 9.2 mm (0.343 - 0.366 inch)
Service Limit: 6.0 mm (0.24 inch)

Measure the rivet depth from the clutch disc lining surface (A) to the rivets (B) on both sides. If the rivet depth is less than the service limit, replace the clutch disc.
Standard (New): 1.65 - 2.25 mm (0.065 - 0.089 inch)
Service Limit: 0.7 mm (0.03 inch)

Torque the mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern. Tighten the bolts in several steps to prevent warping the diaphragm spring.
PRESSURE PLATE MOUNTING BOLT TORQUE: 25 Nm (2.6 kgf-m, 19 ft. lbs.)
Make sure the diaphragm spring fingers are all the same height.
Flywheel

Measure the flywheel (A) runout using a dial indicator (B) through at least two full turns with the engine installed. Push against the flywheel each time you turn it to take up the crankshaft thrust washer clearance. If the runout is more than the service limit, replace the flywheel and recheck the runout. Resurfacing the flywheel is not recommended.
Standard (New): 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) max.
Service Limit: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch)

Install the special tool, then torque the flywheel mounting bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
