If your clutch is not working properly, you will hear a grinding noise when you press the pedal. Replacing the clutch disc is difficult as you have to disassemble the gearbox.
Necessary
- - Operation manual for the car;
- - set of screwdrivers;
- - set of wrenches
- - two jacks.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure your vehicle's clutch is causing the problem, not the bushings, pedals, clutch lever, power cables or transfer cylinder.
Step 2
Disconnect the positive battery terminal, the clutch cable, then the hydraulic cylinder to prepare the transmission for easy removal. Remove any parts that might get in your way, including the exhaust pipes and speedometer.
Step 3
Position your vehicle on a level surface and jack up the front end. To prevent the machine from moving, place supports under the rear wheels.
Step 4
Place another jack under the engine. Begin to remove the gearbox by first unscrewing one of the engine supports.
Step 5
Disconnect the transmission from the engine by removing the bolts that hold the flywheel housing. Start pulling the gearbox out of the engine. Pull it until the pressure plate is accessible.
Step 6
Unscrew the bolts connecting the pressure plate to the engine and pull it out with the gearbox. Check for dents or nicks on the flywheel surface. Remove the damaged flywheel and install a new flywheel if necessary.
Step 7
Inspect the pilot bearing or bushing located in the center of the flywheel to ensure that the needle bearings are lubricated and that there is no excessive friction. Also look for any grease leaks around the rear of the engine compartment. Proceed to replace the clutch cylinder.
Step 8
Follow the instructions for replacing your vehicle's clutch cylinder to avoid a complete gearbox overhaul.
Step 9
Make sure there are no grease leaks near the transmission input shaft. Replace gaskets if necessary. Disconnect the flywheel from the transmission and replace the old seal with a new one. Install a new clutch cylinder.
Step 10
Inspect the crankshaft before reinstalling the flywheel. Reinstall the flywheel and tighten all bolts with a Torx wrench.
Step 11
Reinstall the pressure plate and transmission. Before installing the box, install a new bearing on the return gear so that it can rotate freely.
Step 12
Move the transmission until the input shaft is connected to the axle spindle. Don't push too hard.
Step 13
Replace all bolts and fasteners. Then lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Check the clutch pull. If it is damaged, replace it as well. Press the clutch pedal several times. Start the car and check it while driving at a short distance.
