Clutch Assembly Adjustment (Resetting procedure in vehicle)

Clutch Assembly Adjustment (Resetting procedure in vehicle)

Important: Reset the clutch if one or more of the following conditions occurs:


* The clutch was removed for engine repair.

* The clutch was unbolted from the flywheel without first installing the shipping/resetting bolts.

* The clutch was unbolted from the flywheel in order to realign the discs during clutch installation.

* The clutch pedal was depressed after clutch installation and one of the following conditions occurs:


- 101-127 mm (4-5 in) of free pedal is present in the clutch pedal.

- The release bearing moved near the transmission.

- The clutch tab moved halfway towards the "REPLACE" position.





1. Depress and hold the clutch pedal completely down.





Important: The wear indicating tab should be moved with finger pressure. Do not force the tab to move by striking or prying it.


2. Move the wear indicating tab to the "NEW" (1) position.
3. Release the clutch pedal. The wear indicating tab is now reset.





Important: It will be necessary to rotate the flywheel in order to gain access to all 4 clutch pressure plate shipping bolts.


4. Using the inspection window in the transmission bell housing to gain access to the pressure plate, install four 3/8 x 16 x 1 - 1/4 inch UNC hex head bolts (the same bolts used to cage the pressure plate when the clutch was shipped). Turn the bolts until the pressure plate is fully retracted.




5. Inspect the gap under each tamper proof plate spacer bolt with the pedal depressed.

* Single Plate Clutch - 0.9 mm (0.035 in)
* Two Plate Clutch - 1.4 mm (0.055 in)




6. Remove the shipping bolts.
7. Ensure that there is no gap between the plate spacer roll pin and the tamper proof plate spacer bolt when the pedal is released.
8. The plate spacer pins are now reset.




9. Stroke the clutch pedal a minimum of five times to allow the clutch to automatically reposition the bearing.
