DESCRIPTION
Clutch system uses diaphragm spring, single-disc type
clutches. Clutch is hydraulically operated.
ADJUSTMENTS
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY
1) Depress clutch pedal by hand until resistance is felt.
Measure clutch pedal free play. See CLUTCH PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.
See Fig. 1 .
2) If pedal free play needs to be adjusted, loosen lock nut
on clutch master cylinder push rod and rotate push rod to obtain
correct free play. Tighten lock nut. See Fig. 1. If depressed free
play cannot be adjusted, bleed system and inspect hydraulic and clutch
components.
CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT
1) Measure distance between face of clutch pedal and floor
board. See CLUTCH PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table. See Fig. 1. To adjust
pedal height, disconnect clutch switch connector (if equipped).
2) Loosen master cylinder push rod lock nut. Rotate stopper,
clutch switch or clutch master cylinder push rod until correct pedal
height is obtained.

CLUTCH PEDAL INTERLOCK SWITCH
1) Check and adjust pedal height and free play. See
CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY . See Fig. 1. Measure clutch pedal full stroke.
Full stroke should be 5.72" (145 mm). If full stroke is out of
tolerance, adjust stroke by turning clutch master cylinder push rod.
See Fig. 2 .
2) Measure clearance "A" with clutch pedal fully depressed
(full stroke). See Fig. 2. Clearance "A" should be .177-.217" (4.5-5.5
mm). If clearance is out of tolerance, adjust by loosening interlock
switch lock nut and turning interlock switch in appropriate direction.
When clearance "A" is correct, tighten lock nut.

TESTING
CLUTCH PEDAL DEPRESSED HEIGHT
Depress clutch pedal to floor. Measure distance between face
of clutch pedal and floor board. If depressed pedal height is not as

specified, bleed system and inspect hydraulic and clutch components.
See CLUTCH PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS table.
CLUTCH PEDAL INTERLOCK SWITCH
1) Place transmission in Neutral and apply parking brake.
Turn ignition switch to START position with clutch pedal not
depressed. Engine should not crank. If engine cranks, adjust or
replace interlock switch.
2) Disconnect interlock switch connector. Interlock switch
connector is located at clutch pedal. Depress and release interlock
switch. Using ohmmeter, check continuity between interlock switch
terminals. If continuity exists with interlock switch depressed and
does not exist with switch released, switch is okay. Adjust or replace
as necessary.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Removal (2WD Models)
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove shift knob, dust
cover retaining plate, gaskets, stopper plate and control lever
assembly. Raise and support vehicle.
2) Remove front exhaust pipe. Drain transmission fluid. Index
mark drive shaft flange and remove drive shaft.
3) Disconnect back-up light switch connector, speedometer
cable connection and exhaust pipe mounting bracket. Remove lower
bellhousing cover. Disconnect clutch cable from clutch lever.
4) Support transmission with jack. Remove rear engine mount
nuts and bolts from transmission. Remove crossmember with rear engine
mount. Remove remaining bellhousing bolts, move transmission toward
rear and lower from vehicle.
5) If reusing pressure plate, index mark pressure plate to
flywheel for installation reference. Install a clutch alignment tool
to prevent pressure plate and clutch disc from dropping. Loosen
pressure plate bolts gradually in a crisscross pattern to avoid
warping pressure plate flange during removal. Remove pressure plate
and clutch disc. See Fig. 3.
Inspection
1) Check release bearing and release fork for damage or wear.
DO NOT clean release bearing assembly in solvent.
2) Inspect pressure plate surface for wear, cracks, and/or
discoloration. Measure diaphragm spring ends for wear and uneven
height. Replace assembly if height difference between fingers exceeds
.02" (.5 mm).
3) Check facing of clutch disc for loose rivets, uneven
contact, deterioration, seizure or oil saturation. Measure distance
from clutch disc surface to head of rivet. Replace clutch disc if
distance is less than .012" (.30 mm). Replace worn or defective
components as necessary. See Fig. 4.
CAUTION: Install clutch disc with manufacturer's stamp mark (located
near hub of clutch disc) toward pressure plate.
Installation
1) Using a clutch alignment tool, install pressure plate and
clutch disc. If reusing pressure plate, ensure index marks are
aligned. Tighten bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . See Fig. 3.
2) Clean release bearing sliding surface. DO NOT clean

release bearing with solvent. Apply a light coat of multipurpose
grease to release bearing sliding surface. 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.
Removal (4WD Models)
1) Remove switch panel from rear console. Remove suspension
control switch or hole cover. Disconnect rear console harness
connector. Remove side panel. Remove rear console assembly. Remove
shift lever knob(s). Remove floor console harness connector. Remove
front console assembly.
2) Move transmission lever to Neutral position and transfer
lever to 4H (4WD high range) position. Remove control lever boot
retainer and boot. Remove transmission and transfer control lever
assemblies. Remove control lever bushing (transmission), gaskets and
stopper plates.
3) Raise and support vehicle. Remove skid plate and front
exhaust pipe. Drain transmission and transfer case fluid. Index mark
front and rear drive shaft flanges. Remove front and rear drive
shafts.
4) Remove drive shaft dust seals. Disconnect HI/LO and
2WD/4WD detection switch connectors. Disconnect back-up light switch
connector. Disconnect center differential lock detection switch
connector. Disconnect center differential lock operation switch
connector. Disconnect 4WD operation detection switch.
5) Disconnect speedometer cable. Remove clutch slave cylinder
heat shield. Remove clutch slave cylinder (without disconnecting
hydraulic line) and wire aside. Remove starter and starter cover.
Remove heat shield, both transmission stays and bellhousing lower
cover.
6) Support transmission with transmission jack. Remove
transfer case roll stopper and bracket. Remove crossmember and engine
mounting rear insulator. Remove transfer case protector bracket and
mass damper. Remove remaining bellhousing bolts. Pull toward rear of
vehicle to free transmission input shaft from clutch. Lower
transmission/transfer assembly from vehicle.
7) If reusing pressure plate, mark pressure plate to flywheel
for installation reference. Insert a clutch alignment tool to prevent
pressure plate and clutch disc from dropping. Loosen pressure plate
bolts gradually in a crisscross pattern to avoid warping pressure
plate flange during removal. Remove pressure plate and clutch disc.
See Fig. 3 .

NOTE: Operation of radiator and condenser fans is controlled by
vehicle Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Based on vehicle
speed, coolant temperature and A/C operation request, PCM
will command low, medium or high speed fan operation.
3000GT
1) If neither the radiator fan nor the condenser fan operate,
check fusible link No. 5 (40-amp). See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If only the
condenser fan does not operate, check dedicated fuse No. 8 (20-amp).
2) If the condenser fan operates in all speeds except low and
A/C compressor clutch does not enter the ON state, check for A/C
compressor lock controller unit output signal. If the A/C compressor
clutch does enter the ON state, check condenser fan low speed relay
operation.
3) If the radiator fan and the condenser fan operate in all
speeds except high, check PCM. See appropriate G - TESTS W/CODES
article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If fan operation is not as specified,
check wiring harness for opens or shorts. Repair as necessary.
* G - TESTS W/CODES - NON-TURBO - 1997
* G - TESTS W/CODES - TURBO - 1997
* G - TESTS W/CODES - 1998
4) To confirm radiator fan or condenser fan operation, see
appropriate FAN OPERATING MODE (3000GT) table. If fan operation is not\
as specified, check wiring harness for opens or shorts. Repair as
necessary.
