Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
After Reassembly, Check Magnetic Clutch Clearance
- Set the dial indicator to the pressure plate of the magnetic clutch.
- Connect the magnetic clutch lead wire to the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
- Check the clearance between the pressure plate and rotor when connecting the negative (-) terminal to the battery.
Standard clearance:
0.5 +/- 0.15 mm (0.020 +/- 0.0059 in.)
If the clearance is not within the standard clearance, adjust the clearance using shims to obtain the standard clearance.
Shim thickness:
0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)
0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
