clockspring, the steering wheel may not turn completely, or
flat cable inside clockspring may be severed, disabling SRS
system and possibly causing serious injury to driver.
Installation
1) Ensure front wheels are in straight-ahead position. Align
mating marks on clockspring. See CLOCKSPRING CENTERING under
ADJUSTMENTS. Install clockspring. To install remaining components,
reverse removal procedure. Before installing air bag module, ensure
horn switch wiring is positioned so that it will not be pinched.
2) Tighten fasteners to spec. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Activate SRS. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Check AIR BAG
warning light for proper system function. SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.
PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG MODULE
Removal & Installation
1) Before proceeding, see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Deactivate
SRS. See DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM .
2) Remove right-side foot shower duct and two stoppers on
either side. Remove and lower glove box. Disconnect air bag module
connector. Remove retaining bolts and passenger-side air bag module.
See Fig. 5 .
3) To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Activate SRS. See procedures
under DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM . Check AIR BAG warning
light for proper system function. SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK.

CLOCKSPRING CENTERING
WARNING: If front wheels are not in straight-ahead position or
clockspring mating marks are not aligned before installing
clockspring, the steering wheel may not turn completely, or
flat cable inside clockspring may be severed, disabling SRS
system and possibly causing serious injury to driver.
With clockspring removed, ensure front wheels are in
straight-ahead position. Turn clockspring fully clockwise, and then
turn it back approximately 3.3 turns counterclockwise to align mating
marks. See Fig. 8.

WIRE REPAIR
DO NOT repair SRS wiring or harness connectors. If SRS wiring
or harness connectors are faulty, replace faulty wiring harness.

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

DO NOT clean release bearing assembly in solvent. Inspect hydraulic
system components for fluid leakage. Inspect cylinder dust boot for
cracks or deterioration.
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 depth from
clutch disc surface to head of rivet. Replace clutch disc if
measurement is less than .012" (.30 mm). See Fig. 4. Replace worn or
defective components as necessary.

Installation
1) Using a clutch alignment tool, install pressure plate and
clutch disc. Tighten bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
2) Clean release bearing sliding surface. Apply a light
coating of multipurpose grease to release bearing sliding surface.

NOTE: Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the
ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures and
specifications for the vehicle being repaired.
REMOVAL
Remove intake and exhaust manifolds and valve cover. Cylinder
head and camshaft carrier bolts (if equipped), should be removed only
when the engine is cold. On many aluminum cylinder heads, removal
while hot will cause cylinder head warpage. Mark rocker arm or
overhead cam components for location.
Remove rocker arm components or overhead cam components.
Components must be installed in original location. Individual design
rocker arms may utilize shafts, ball-type pedestal mounts or no rocker
arms. For all design types, wire components together and identify
according to the corresponding valve. Remove cylinder head bolts.
Note length and location. Some applications require cylinder head
bolts be removed in proper sequence to prevent cylinder head damage.
See Fig. 1 . Remove cylinder head.

INSTALLATION
Ensure all surfaces and head bolts are clean. Check that head
bolt holes of cylinder block are clean and dry to prevent block damage
when bolts are tightened. Clean threads with tap to ensure accurate
bolt torque.
Install head gasket on cylinder block. Some manufacturer's
may recommend sealant be applied to head gasket prior to installation.
Note that all holes are aligned. Some gasket applications may be
marked so certain area faces upward. Install cylinder head using care
not to damage head gasket. Ensure cylinder head is fully seated on
cylinder block.
Some applications require head bolts be coated with sealant
prior to installation. This is done if head bolts are exposed to water
passages. Some applications require head bolts be coated with light
coat of engine oil.
