Transmission range sensor bolt
(a) : 18 N·m (1.8 kg-m, 13.0 lb-ft)
69) Install torque converter (1) to input shaft.
Install torque converter, using care not to damage oil seal of
oil pump.
After installing torque converter, check to make sure that dis-
tance “a” is within specification.
Torque converter installing position
“a” : More than 19.9 mm (0.783 in.)
Check torque converter for smooth rotation.
Apply grease around cup at the center of torque converter.
“C” : Grease 99000-25010
CAUTION:
Before installing converter, make sure that its pump
hub portion is free from nicks, burrs or damage which
may cause oil seal to leak.
Be very careful not to drop converter on oil pump gear.
Damage in gear, should it occur, may cause a critical
trouble.

7C-2 CLUTCH
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The clutch is a diaphragm-spring clutch of a dry single disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger
type, which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying four torsional coil springs, is positioned on the transmission input shaft with an involute spline
fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral
edge part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the
clutch release bearing is held back. This is the engaged condition of the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bearing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered fin-
gers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm spring pulls the pressure plate away from the
flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel through clutch disc to transmission input shaft.
