Clutch Assembly: Installation

  1. Ensure friction disk slides on input shaft spines. Splines may be lightly greased. Wipe off excess grease. If flywheel was removed, reinstall on engine. Using flywheel lock or similar device, hold engine from turning. Tighten flywheel bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. Mount friction disk and pressure plate on engine. Install pressure plate bolts finger tight. Using Clutch Centering Plug (3190 ), align friction disk and pilot bushing holes. Tighten pressure plate bolts to specification using a crisscross pattern.
  3. To install transaxle, reverse removal procedure. Plug transaxle openings to prevent contamination or fluid loss. Push clutch release lever rearward and temporarily install mounting pin or an 8 x 22 mm bolt through pivot arm. Remove pin or bolt after installation is complete.
  4. Ensure gear carrier housing cover fits properly. To install gearshift lever cables, see GEARSHIFT LEVER CABLES  under ADJUSTMENTS. Tighten nuts and bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
