B: INSPECTION
1. TIMING BELT
1) Check timing belt teeth for breaks, cracks, and wear. If
any fault is found, replace belt.
2) Check the condition of back side of belt; if any crack is
found, replace belt.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact
the belt. Remove quickly and thoroughly if this hap-
pens.
G2M0115
Do not bend the belt sharply.
Bending radius: h
60 mm (2.36 in) or more
2. BELT TENSION ADJUSTER
1) Visually check oil seals for leaks, and rod ends for
abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary, replace belt ten-
sion adjuster.
CAUTION:
Slight traces of oil at rod’s oil seal does not indicate a
problem.
2) While holding tensioner with both hands, push the rod
section against floor or wall ensuring the rod section will
react as follows:
(1) When applying a force of 147 N (15 kg, 33 lb), the
rod section should not sink.
(2) When applying a force of 147 to 490 N (15 to 50 kg,
33 to 110 lb), the rod section should maintain a projec-
tionally acting force and should not sink within 8.5 sec-
onds.

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.)
