CAUTION:

• If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder).

Return CSC insert to original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding
parts may damage seal of CSC and may cause clutch fluid leakage.

• Never disassemble CSC.
• Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately

and wash the affected area with water.

REMOVAL

1.

Remove transaxle assembly from the vehicle. Refer to 

TM-23, "Removal and Installation"

 (RS5F92R),

TM-69, "Removal and Installation"

 (RS6F94R), or 

TM-123, "Removal and Installation"

 (RS6F52A).

2.

Remove mounting bolts and then remove CSC from clutch housing.

INSTALLATION

1.

Install CSC to clutch housing and then tighten bolts to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse CSC.
• Never insert and operate CSC because piston and stopper of CSC components may fall off.

2.

Install transaxle assembly. Refer to 

TM-23, "Removal and Installation"

 (RS5F92R), 

TM-69, "Removal and

Installation"

 (RS6F94R), or 

TM-123, "Removal and Installation"

 (RS6F52A).

CAUTION:

• If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder). Return CSC insert to

original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may damage seal of CSC and may cause
clutch fluid leakage.

• Never bring any grease to the clutch disc facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel surface.

• When installing, be careful that grease applied to input shaft does not adhere to clutch disc.

• Never clean in solvent on clutch disc.

Be sure to apply grease to the points specified. Otherwise, noise, poor disengagement, or damage
to the clutch may result. Excessive grease may cause slip or judder. And if it adheres to seal of
CSC, it cause clutch fluid leakage. Wipe off excess grease. Wipe off any grease oozing from the
parts.

3.

Install clutch disc using a suitable clutch aligner (A).

4.

Install clutch cover. Pre-tighten clutch cover mounting bolts.

5.

Tighten clutch cover mounting bolts evenly to the specified
torque in two steps in the order shown in the figure.

6.

Install transaxle assembly to the vehicle. Refer to 

TM-23,

"Removal and Installation"

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

CLUTCH DISC

• Measure circumferential runout relative to clutch disc center spline.

If it is outside the specification, replace clutch disc.

• Measure backlash to clutch disc spline and main drive gear spline

at the circumference of clutch disc. If outside the specification,
replace clutch disc.

• Measure the depth “A” to clutch disc facing rivet heads using cali-

pers. If it exceeds the allowable facing wear limit, replace clutch
disc.

CLUTCH COVER

Check diaphragm spring lever claws for unevenness with the lever
still on the vehicle. If they exceed the tolerance, adjust lever height
using the diaphragm adjusting wrench [SST: ST20050240].

• Check clutch cover thrust ring for wear or breakage. If wear or

breakage is found, replace clutch cover.
NOTE:
• Worn thrust ring will generate a beating noise when tapped at the

rivet with a hammer.

• Broken thrust ring will make a clinking sound when cover is

shaken up and down.
