2. Engine Noise
Valve lash adjusters may make clicking noise once engine
starts. It is normal if clicking noise ceases after a few min-
utes.
If clicking noise continues after a few minutes, check
engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
Then, do as follows to cease clicking noise.
1) Warm-up engine for five minutes.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Connect test mode connector.
4) Start the engine and run it at approximately 2,000 rpm
for twenty minutes.
5) Turn ignition switch OFF.
6) Disconnect test mode connector.
7) Start the engine and check that clicking noise is ceased.
If noise still exists, conduct troubleshooting procedures in
accordance with the following table.
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect spark plug cord while engine is run-
ning.

Knocking sound when engine
is operating under idling speed
and engine is warm.Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy
cylinder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)Worn cylinder liner and piston ring
Broken or stuck piston ring

B: INSPECTION
1. RELEASE BEARING
CAUTION:
Since this bearing is grease sealed and is of a nonlu-
brication type, do not wash with gasoline or any sol-
vent when servicing the clutch.
1) Check the bearing for smooth movement by applying
force in the radial direction.
Radial direction stroke:
FWD; Approx.
1.0 mm (0.039 in)
AWD; Approx.
1.4 mm (0.055 in)
G2M0240
2) Check the bearing for smooth rotation by applying pres-
sure in the thrust direction.
3) Check wear and damage of bearing case surface con-
tacting with lever.
G2M0241
2. RELEASE LEVER
Check lever pivot portion and the point of contact with
release bearing case for wear.
C: INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Before or during assembling, lubricate the following
points with a light coat of grease.
Inner groove of release bearing
Contact surface of lever and pivot
Contact surface of lever and bearing
Transmission main shaft spline (Use grease contain-
ing molybdenum disulphide.)

2. CLUTCH COVER
Visually check for the following items without
disassembling, and replace or repair if defective.
1) Loose thrust rivet.
2) Damaged or worn bearing contact area at center of
diaphragm spring.
G2M0249
3) Damaged or worn disc contact surface of pressure
plate.
4) Loose strap plate setting bolt.
5) Worn diaphragm sliding surface.

3. FLYWHEEL
CAUTION:
Since this bearing is grease sealed and is of a nonlu-
brication type, do not wash with gasoline or any sol-
vent.
1) Damage of facing and ring gear
If defective, replace flywheel.
G2M0251
2) Smoothness of rotation
Rotate ball bearing applying pressure in thrust direction.
If noise or excessive play is noted, replace ball bearing as
follows:
(1) Drive out ball bearing from flywheel.
(2) Press bearing into flywheel until bearing end sur-
face is flush with clutch disc contact surface of flywheel.
Do not press inner race.

3. Tools and Equipment
The following section provides information about the tools
and equipment that will be necessary to properly service
the A/C system.
Since equipment may vary slightly depending on the
manufacturer, it is important to always read and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION:
When working on vehicles with the HFC-134a system,
only use HFC-134a specified tools and parts. Do not
mix with CFC-12 tools and parts. If HFC-134a and
CFC-12 refrigerant or compressor oil is mixed, poor
lubrication will result and the compressor itself may be
destroyed.
In order to help prevent mixing HFC-134a and CFC-12
parts and liquid, the tool and screw type and the type
of service valves used are different. The gas leak
detectors for the HFC-134a and CFC-12 systems must
also not be interchanged.

Tools and Equipment Description
WRENCH
VariousWRENCHESwill be required to service any A/C
system. A 7 to 40 N⋅m (0.7 to 4.1 kg-m, 5 to 30 ft-lb) torque
wrench with various crowfoot wrenches will be needed. Open
end or flare nut wrenches will be needed for back-up on the
tube and hose fittings.

APPLICATOR BOTTLE
A smallAPPLICATOR BOTTLEis recommended to apply
refrigerant oil to the various parts. They can be obtained at a
hardware or drug store.

8. Leak Testing
The following points should be kept in mind when conduct-
ing a refrigerant leak test.
1) The A/C system to be tested must have an adequate
refrigerant charge to begin with.
2) The area where the leak test is conducted must be free
of wind and drafts, with still air being the ideal condition.
3) The atmosphere where the leak test is conducted must
be free of refrigerant contamination.
4) Operate the A/C system for approx. 10 minutes, then
turn the engine off an begin the leak test.
5) Refrigerant gas is heavier than air, therefore always
hold the probe below the connection being tested.
6) When checking for a leak along a length of hose or
tube, the leak detector probe must be moved slowly,
approx. 25 mm (1 in) per second making sure probe does
not come in contact with the component being tested.
7) When checking for a leak at a certain point, the leak
detector probe must be held at that point for at least 5
seconds.
G4M0609
1. CHECK THE SYSTEM PRESSURE
With gauges connected to the A/C system, operate the A/C
and confirm that the high side pressure is above 690 kPa
(7.03 kg/cm
2, 100 psi). If not, evacuate and charge the
system before leak checking (refer to evacuation and
charging sections).
2. CLEAN CONNECTIONS BEFORE TESTING
Before testing, use a clean shop towel to wipe off refriger-
ant oil, dirt, or foreign material from all of the connections
and components to be tested.
NOTE:
Since refrigerant oil absorbs refrigerant, excess oil on or
near a connection may falsely signal a leak.
B4M0089
3. CALIBRATE LEAK DETECTOR
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the particular
type of detector used and calibrate the instrument.
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the probe tip filter is clean and
free of contamination.
