What is the method for replacing the clutch on a Pajero?
1 Answers
The method for replacing the clutch on a Pajero is as follows: 1. When removing or installing the clutch cover, use a special tool to secure the flywheel and make alignment marks. Tighten the bolts in stages during installation. 2. Insert a special tool or the transmission input shaft into the central spline hub and the transmission input shaft guide bearing to prevent the clutch disc from falling. During installation, also use a special tool or the transmission input shaft to align the driven disc with the transmission shaft guide bearing. 3. Before installing the new driven disc, fit it onto the transmission input shaft to check if the spline engagement is proper. Loosen the clutch cover bolts gradually in a diagonal pattern; tighten them in the same manner during installation. 4. When installing the driven disc, ensure the torsional damper faces backward and apply a small amount of grease to the spline hub. If there is any oil or grease on the clutch surface or pressure plate, wipe it off with a dry cloth before installing the clutch cover assembly. 5. Align the positioning pins on the clutch cover assembly with those on the flywheel, then gradually tighten the bolts alternately. Check for oil leaks from the engine's rear main bearing oil seal and the transmission's front oil seal. Repair any leaks if found. 6. The release bearing and transmission guide bearing do not require additional lubrication. Adding extra oil may cause oil contamination on the clutch driven disc, leading to clutch slippage. 7. During assembly, apply grease to the clutch driven disc spline hub, the front edge of the release bearing, the inner race of the release bearing, the release fork, and the contact points of the push rod.
