Adjusting Axial Play, Input Shaft

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 Suzuki Reno, 2008 Suzuki Forenza, 2007 Suzuki Reno, 2007 Suzuki Forenza, and 2006 Suzuki Reno. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: After assembling the rear cover. You must measure the axial play specification, if the measured data is not satisfied the specification. Replace the clutch B/E's shim.

Incorrect axial play may cause the vibration or noise. The specification of the axial play is 0.18 - 0.42 mm.

Clamp fixture on the input shaft so that the measuring base rests on the stator shaft.
Set dial gauge to zero.
Measure axial play by pulling and pressing on the handle. (repeat measurement)
Calculate the measurement values. (average)
- EXAMPLE
  M1 = 0.51 mm
  
  M2 = 0.49 mm
  
  M = (0.51 + 0.49) / 2 = 0.5 mm
  
  S (specification) = 0.18 to 0.42 mm
  
  D (adjustment value) = 0.5 mm - (0.18 to 0.42) mm
  
  So, D is 0.08 to 0.32 mm
  
  Calculate the average, so D is 0.2 mm
Replace shim.
- Disc thickness must be between 0.08 and 0.32 mm thicker. It is sensible to select one with a disc that average 0.2 mm thicker than the one that was installed.
