CONDENSER FAN MOTORS

Transportation (DOT) approved, DOT 4BW or DOT 4BA refrigerant
containers.
7) Never overfill refrigerant containers. The safe filling
level of a refrigerant container MUST NOT exceed 60 percent of the
container's gross weight rating. Store refrigerant containers at
temperature less than 125
F (52C).
8) R-134a refrigerant is sold and stored in 30- or 50-pound
Light Blue containers, while Freon (R-12) is stored in White colored
containers.
9) Refrigerant R-12 and R-134a must never be mixed, as they
and their desiccants and lubricants are not compatible. If
refrigerants are mixed, system cross-contamination or A/C system
component failure may occur. Always use separate servicing and
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
10) Follow equipment manufacturer instructions of all service
equipment to be used. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), provided
by refrigerant manufacturer/suppliers, contains valuable information
regarding the safe handling of refrigerants.
11) Before connecting refrigerant lines always lubricate "O"
rings using appropriate refrigerant oil.
12) Always plug or cap A/C system refrigerant lines and
component connections as soon as possible to protect components from
moisture and/or dust. DO NOT remove plugs or caps until ready to
install component.
13) Always use a back-up wrench when tightening or loosening
fittings.
IDENTIFYING R-134a SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS
To prevent refrigerant cross-contamination, use following
methods to identify R-134a based systems and components.
Fittings & "O" Rings
All R-134a based A/C systems use 1/2" - 16ACME threaded
fittings (identifiable by square threads) and quick-connect service
couplings. See Fig. 1. Besides the use of these fittings, most
manufacturers will use Green colored "O" rings in R-134a systems.

Underhood A/C Specification Labels
Most R-134a based systems will be identified through the use

Apply a very light coating of grease to input shaft splines. DO NOT
allow grease or dirt on clutch disc or pressure plate surfaces.
3) To install remaining components, reverse removal
procedure. Refill all fluids to proper levels. Adjust all control
cables, clutch pedal height and free play. See CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS. See Fig. 1.
CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING & RELEASE FORK
Removal (2WD Models)
1) Remove transmission. See CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. Remove return
clips, release bearing and carrier. Use a punch to remove shift arm
spring pin and release lever assembly. Remove shift arm, felt packing
and 2 return springs. See Fig. 5.
2) Ensure release bearing turns freely and smoothly under
light load. Replace bearing if noise, roughness or dryness is present.
DO NOT clean bearing in solvent. Use shop towel or compressed air
only.
Installation
1) Insert lever and shaft into left side of transmission
case. Place shift arm, felt packing and return springs on shaft
assembly. Apply grease to inside of bushing and oil seal lips. Apply
oil to felt packing.
2) Align shift arm pin and control shaft pin holes. Drive
spring pins into position, with slit area upward. Reverse removal
procedure to complete installation. Check pedal height and free play.
Adjust if necessary. See CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS.
Removal (4WD Models)
1) Remove transmission. See CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. Remove return
spring or clips, and remove release bearing.
2) Slide release fork toward outside of transmission and
disengage from fulcrum ball. DO NOT slide release fork toward inside
of case, or damage to fulcrum ball clip will result. Remove release
fork boot.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply grease to
fulcrum ball contact area of release fork before installing. Fill
groove of release bearing inside diameter with grease before
installing. See Fig. 5.

ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or
ignition system, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay (i.e.,
engine compression).
VALVE CLEARANCE
VALVE ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: All models use hydraulic valve lifters. Adjustment is not
required.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS
1) Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Remove valve
cover. Position cylinder No. 1 at TDC on compression stroke. On 4-
cylinder engines, check intake rockers on cylinders No. 1 and 2. Check
exhaust rockers on cylinders No. 1 and 3. On V6 engines, check intake
rockers on cylinders No. 1, 5 and 6. Check exhaust rockers on
cylinders No. 1, 2 and 3.
2) Push downward on end of rocker arm, above lash adjuster.
Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees. On 4-cylinder engines, check intake
rockers on cylinders No. 3 and 4. Check exhaust rockers on cylinders
No. 2 and 4. On V6 engines, check intake rockers on cylinders No. 2, 3
and 4. Check exhaust rockers on cylinders No. 4, 5 and 6. If lash
adjuster is normal, it will feel solid.
3) If lash adjuster moves downward easily when pushed,
replace adjuster. If lash adjuster feels soft or spongy, air has
probably entered lash adjuster. If this occurs, check engine oil
level. If engine oil level is okay, check oil screen and oil screen
gasket for damage.
4) After repairing cause of air ingestion, warm engine to
operating temperature. Drive vehicle at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Turn engine off for a few minutes.
5) Restart engine and drive at low speed for approximately 5
minutes. Repeat this step several times for about one hour. This helps
remove air from engine oil.
IGNITION TIMING
NOTE: Perform all checks with engine at normal operating
temperature, cooling fan and accessories off, transmission
in Park or Neutral, and front wheels in straight-ahead
position. Ignition timing check procedure for Eclipse 2.0L
non-turbo not available from manufacturer at time of
publication.
Diamante
1) Ignition timing is controlled by Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) and is not adjustable. Manufacturer provides procedure for
checking timing. DO NOT attempt to adjust ignition timing by rotating

Engine pre-oiling can be done using pressure oiler (if
available). Connect pressure oiler to cylinder block oil passage
such as oil pressure sending unit. Operate pressure oiler long enough
to ensure correct amount of oil has filled crankcase. Check oil level
while pre-oiling.
If pressure oiler is not available, disconnect ignition
system. Remove oil pressure sending unit and replace with oil pressure
test gauge. Using starter motor, rotate engine starter until gauge
shows normal oil pressure for several seconds. DO NOT crank engine
for more than 30 seconds to avoid starter motor damage.
Ensure oil pressure has reached the most distant point from
the oil pump. Reinstall oil pressure sending unit. Reconnect ignition
system.
INITIAL START-UP
Start the engine and operate engine at low speed while
checking for coolant, fuel and oil leaks. Stop engine. Recheck coolant
and oil level. Adjust if necessary.
CAMSHAFT
Break-in procedure is required when a new or reground
camshaft has been installed. Operate and maintain engine speed between
1500-2500 RPM for approximately 30 minutes. Procedure may vary due to
manufacturers recommendations.
PISTON RINGS
Piston rings require a break-in procedure to ensure seating
of rings to cylinder walls. Serious damage may occur to rings if
correct procedures are not followed.
Extremely high piston ring temperatures are produced obtained
during break-in process. If rings are exposed to excessively high RPM
or high cylinder pressures, ring damage can occur. Follow piston ring
manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure.
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check or adjust ignition timing and dwell (if applicable).
Adjust valves (if necessary). Adjust carburetion or injection idle
speed and mixture. Retighten cylinder heads (if required). If
cylinder head or block is aluminum, retighten bolts when engine is
cold. Follow the engine manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure
and maintenance schedule for new engines.
NOTE: Some manufacturer's require that head bolts be retightened
after specified amount of operation. This must be done to
prevent head gasket failure.
