NOTE: Due to variety of clutch and shaft seal configurations,
obtain appropriate A/C compressor service tools for
compressor being serviced. Land Rover and Jaguar compressor

Removal
1) Hold clutch plate stationary. Remove clutch plate center
bolt and clutch plate. If clutch plate cannot be removed by hand,
tighten an 8-mm or 10-mm bolt into clutch plate center bolt hole to
remove clutch plate.
2) Remove shim(s) and pulley snap ring from compressor shaft\
.
Tap pulley using a plastic hammer and remove pulley from compressor
shaft. See Fig. 1 or 2. Remove retaining screw for clutch coil lead.
Remove clutch coil snap ring and clutch coil.
Installation
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Ensure clutch coil
pin is aligned with hole in compressor housing. Ensure clutch coil
lead is positioned properly. Ensure NEW snap rings are installed with
beveled side facing out. Tighten shaft bolt to 10-13 ft. lbs. (14-17
N.m).
2) Check air gap between clutch plate and pulley. Position
dial indicator on clutch plate. Energize clutch coil and zero dial
indicator. De-energize clutch coil and measure air gap (clutch plate
movement). Ensure air gap between clutch plate and pulley is 0.014-0.
026" (0.35-0.65 mm). If air gap is incorrect, add or remove shim(s) \
as
necessary. Ensure pulley rotates freely.
NOTE: On some compressors, it is necessary to use a dial indicator
on clutch plate to check air gap. Energize clutch coil and
zero dial indicator. De-energize clutch coil and measure air
gap. Ensure air gap is as specified.

USING R-12 & R-134a REFRIGERANT
HANDLING/SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Always work in a well-ventilated, clean area. Avoid
breathing refrigerant vapors. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Refrigerant is colorless and is invisible as a gas.
Refrigerant is heavier than oxygen and will displace oxygen in a
confined area.
2) A/C system high pressure can cause severe injury to eyes
and skin if a hose were to burst. Always wear eye protection, gloves
and other protective clothing when working around A/C system and
refrigerant.
3) Refrigerant evaporates quickly when exposed to atmosphere,
freezing anything it contacts. If liquid refrigerant contacts eyes or
skin (frostbite), DO NOT rub eyes or skin. Immediately flush affected
area with cool water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor or hospital.
4) Never use R-134a in combination with compressed air for
leak testing. Pressurized R-134a in the presence of oxygen (air
concentrations greater than 60 percent by volume) may form a
combustible mixture. DO NOT introduce compressed air into R-134a
containers (full or empty), A/C system components or service
equipment.
5) DO NOT expose A/C system components to high temperatures,
steam cleaning for example, as excessive heat will cause
refrigerant/system pressure to increase. Never expose refrigerant
directly to open flame. If refrigerant needs to be warmed, place
bottom of refrigerant tank in warm water. Water temperature MUST NOT
exceed 125
F (52C).
CAUTION: When R-134a is exposed to an open flame, drawn into engine,
or detected with a Halide (propane) leak tester, a poisonous
gas is formed. Keep work areas well ventilated.
6) Use care when handling refrigerant containers. DO NOT
drop, strike, puncture or incinerate containers. Use Department Of
Page 105 of 1501
Schrader valve is similar in construction and operation to a
tire valve. When a test gauge hose with built-in valve core depressor
is attached, Schrader stem is pushed inward to the open position and
allows system pressure to reach gauge.
If test hose does not have a built-in core depressor, an
adapter must be used. Never attach hose or adapter to Schrader valve
unless it is first connected to manifold gauge set.
Refrigerant R-12 Schrader-type valve cores have TV5 thread
size. Refrigerant R-134a Schrader-type valve cores use M6 (Metric)
threads. See Fig. 1.

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY/RECYCLING
Refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment is used to remove
refrigerant from vehicle's A/C system without polluting atmosphere. To
remove and recycle refrigerant, connect the recovery/recycling
equipment and following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Removed refrigerant is filtered, dried and stored in a tank
within the recovery/recycling equipment until it is ready to be pumped
back into vehicle A/C system. With refrigerant stored in the
recovery/recycling equipment, A/C system can be opened without
polluting atmosphere.
NOTE: Separate sets of hoses, gauges and refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment MUST be used for R-12 and
R-134a based systems. DO NOT mix R-12 and R-134a
refrigerants, as their refrigerant oils and desiccants are
not compatible. It is NOT possible to clean equipment
thoroughly enough to prevent cross-contamination of A/C
systems. On systems with R-134a refrigerant, use
Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) wax-free refrigerant oil.

AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1997-98 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
Mitsubishi Shift Lock Systems
Diamante, Eclipse, Galant, Mirage, Montero, Montero Sport,
3000GT
DESCRIPTION
Shift interlock system inhibits shift selector lever movement
from "P" to drive ranges unless brake pedal is depressed. Key
interlock system prevents ignition switch turning to LOCK position
unless shift selector lever is in "P" position.
TESTING
KEY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
1) With ignition switch in LOCK position and brake pedal
depressed, ensure selector lever cannot be moved from "P" to any other
position. Ensure selector lever button cannot be pushed. With ignition
switch in ACC position, brake pedal depressed and selector lever
button pushed, ensure selector lever can be moved from "P" position to
any other position. Ensure selector lever moves smoothly.
2) Ensure ignition key cannot be turned to LOCK position at
all selector lever positions other than "P". Ensure ignition key turns
smoothly to LOCK position when selector lever is set to "P" and
selector lever button is released. If key interlock system is not as
specified, adjust key interlock cable. See KEY INTERLOCK CABLE under
ADJUSTMENTS.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
1) With ignition switch in ACC position, brake pedal released
and selector lever button pushed, ensure selector lever cannot be
moved from "P" to any other position. With ignition switch in ACC
position, brake pedal depressed and selector lever button pushed,
ensure selector lever can be moved from "P" position to any other
position.
2) With selector lever in "R" position, ignition switch in
ACC position, brake pedal released and selector button pushed, ensure
selector lever can be moved from "R" to "P" position. If shift lock
system is not as specified, adjust shift lock cable. See SHIFT LOCK
CABLE under ADJUSTMENTS.
ADJUSTMENTS
KEY INTERLOCK CABLE
3000GT
Remove front console assembly. Move selector lever to "P".
Loosen nut securing key interlock cable. Gently press lock cam "A"
down while pushing cable to take up slack. See Fig. 1. Tighten nut to
specifications to secure cable. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
