DIAGNOSIS
ISOLATE NOISE
Identify the cause of any noise before attempting to repair
the clutch, the transaxle, or their related link–ages.
Symptoms of trouble with the clutch or the manual trans-
axle include:
S A great effort required to shift gears.
S The sound of gears clashing and grinding.
S Gear blockout.
Any of these conditions requires a careful analysis. Make
the following checks before disassembling the clutch or
the transaxle for repairs.
Road Travel Noise
Many noises that appear to come from the transaxle may
actually originate with other sources such as the:
S Tires.
S Road surfaces.
S Wheel bearings.
S Engine.
S Exhaust system.
These noises may vary according to the:
S Size of the vehicle.
S Type of the vehicle.
S Amount of insulation used in the body of the ve-
hicle.
Transaxle Noise
Transaxle gears, like any mechanical device, are not ab-
solutely quiet and will make some noise during normal op-
eration.
To verify suspected transaxle noises:
1. Select a smooth, level asphalt road to reduce tire
and resonant body noise.
2. Drive the vehicle far enough to warm up all the lu-
bricants thoroughly.
3. Record the speed and the gear range of the trans-
axle when the noise occurs.
4. Check for noises with the vehicle stopped, but with
the engine running.
5. Determine if the noise occurs while the vehicle op-
erates in:
S Drive – under a light acceleration or a heavy
pull.
S Float – maintaining a constant speed with a light
throttle on a level road.
S Coast – with the transaxle in gear and the
throttle partly or fully closed.
S All of the above.
Bearing Noise
Differential Side Bearing Noise
Differential side bearing noise and wheel bearing noise
can be confused easily. Since side bearings are pre–
loaded, a differential side bearing noise should not dimin-
ish much when the differential/transaxle is run with the
wheels off the ground.
Wheel Bearing Noise
Wheel bearings produce a rough growl or grating sound
that will continue when the vehicle is coasting and the
transaxle is in NEUTRAL. Since wheel bearings are not
pre–loaded, a wheel bearing noise should diminish con-
siderably when the wheels are off the ground.
Other Noise
Brinelling
A brinelled bearing causes a ”knock” or ”click” approxi-
mately every second revolution of the wheel because the
bearing rollers do not travel at the same speed as the
wheel. In operation, the effect is characterized by a low–
pitched noise.
A brinelled bearing is caused by excessive thrust which
pushes the balls up on the pathway and creates a triangu-
lar–shaped spot in the bearing race. A brinelled bearing
can also be caused from pressing one race into position
by applying pressure on the other race.
A false indication of a brinelled bearing occurs as a result
of vibration near the area where the bearing is mounted.
Brinelling is identified by slight indentations, resulting in a
washboard effect in the bearing race.
Lapping
Lapped bearing noise occurs when fine particles of abra-
sive materials such as scale, sand, or emery circulate
through the oil in the vehicle, causing the surfaces of the
roller and the race to wear away. Bearings that wear loose
but remain smooth, without spalling or pitting, are the re-
sult of dirty oil.
Locking
Large particles of foreign material wedged between the
roller and the race usually causes one of the races to turn,
creating noise from a locked bearing. Pre–loading regular
taper roller bearings to a value higher than that specified
also can result in locked bearings
Pitting
Pitting on the rolling surface comes from normal wear and
the introduction of foreign materials.
Spalling
Spalled bearings have flaked or pitted rollers or races
caused by an overload or an incorrect assembly that re-
sults in a misalignment, a cocking of bearings, or adjust-
ments that are too tight.
After completing these checks, refer to the ”Diagnosis
Chart” in this section.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON–VEHICLE SERVICE
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
1. With the vehicle on a level surface and the fluid in
the transaxle cold, remove the filler plug and check
the fluid level. The fluid should come to the bottom
edge of the plug hole.
2. If the level is low, add SAE 80 manual transaxle
fluid through the filler plug hole until the fluid begins
to run out.
3. Reinstall the filler plug and tighten it securely.
4. If the fluid is contaminated, drain the oil after re-
moving the differential gear cover.
SHIFT LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
(LEFT–HAND DRIVE SHOWN,
RIGHT–HAND DRIVE SIMILAR)
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Position the gearshift lever into NEUTRAL.
Important : All the gears must be easy to engage when
the vehicle is stationary, the engine is running, and the
clutch is disengaged.
3. Loosen the rod clamp bolt.

CLUTCH RELEASE POINT
ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment Procedure
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Run the engine at idle speed.
3. While you move the shift lever into the reverse
position, depress the clutch pedal slowly and mea-
sure the distance between the point when gear
noise is not heard and the point the clutch pedal is
completely depressed. The distance should be 30
to 40 mm (1.2 to 1.6 inches).
4. If the distance is not within the specified value,
check the following:
S Clutch pedal height
S Clutch pedal play
S Air in the system
S Clutch cover and disc pressure plate
AIR BLEEDING
Bleed the hydraulic system to remove the air which en-
tered when the pipes were disconnected for repairs. The
clutch/brake fluid in the clutch/brake reservoir must be
maintained at the MIN level or higher during air bleeding.
1. Attach a vinyl hose to the bleeder plug. Place the
other end of the vinyl tube in a glass container half–
filled with brake fluid.
2. Slowly pump the clutch pedal several times.
3. While you press the clutch pedal, loosen the bleed-
er screw until the fluid starts to run out. Close the
bleeder screw.
4. Repeat Step 3 until there are no air bubbles in the
fluid.
5. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid up to the proper
level.
PRESSURE PLATE AND CLUTCH
DISC

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
DRIVING MEMBERS
The driving members consist of two flat surfaces ma-
chined to a smooth finish. One of these is the rear face of
the engine flywheel and the other is the pressure plate.
The pressure plate is fitted into a steel cover which is
bolted the flywheel.
DRIVEN MEMBERS
The driven member is the clutch disc with a splined hub.The splined hub is free to slide lengthwise along the
splines of the input shaft and drives the input shaft through
these same splines.
The driving and driven members are held in contact by
spring pressure. This pressure is exerted by a diaphragm
spring in the pressure plate assembly.
OPERATING MEMBERS
The clutch release system consists of the clutch pedal, the
clutch master cylinder, and concentric slave cylinder.
Unlike the former system to release the clutch by the re-
lease lever and release fork, the concentric slave cylinder
type makes the concentric slave cylinder directly perform
the clutch release by the generated pressure through the
clutch pedal operation.
