Installation Manual
Remove the clutch alignment tool and
recheck all of the mounting bolts.
7. Replace Throughout Bearing: The
throwout bearing is designed to push the
fingers of the pressure plate inward to
disengage the clutch. When these fingers
are out or with no pressure on them the
clutch is engaged. When replacing the
clutch assembly it is highly advised to
replace the throwout bearing because it
has a high failure rate. Some throwout
bearings are attached to the clutch slave
cylinder which should be replaced as a
unit.
8. Clutch Break-in and Adjustment: Once
the transmission has been reinstalled
slowly pump the clutch pedal until
normal pedal operation is present. Watch
and add clutch fluid (brake fluid) in the
process. After the repair start the engine
and push the clutch pedal down
completely while shifting the transmission
through its gears. It's normal for this
operation to be a little rough while the
clutch is in it's "break in" period. Normal
shifting characteristics should return after
a few miles.
