Slave and pressure plates of the clutch (Hyundai Accent LC)

Clutch

Execution order

1. Drain the oil from the gearbox and the brake fluid from the clutch hydraulic drive.

2. Remove the gearbox.

3. Install the 09411-11000 mandrel for centering the clutch disc, which in this case will prevent the driven clutch disc from falling.

4. Loosen the clutch assembly mounting bolts gradually diagonally, turning each bolt ½ turn until the diaphragm spring releases and the bolts can be removed by hand. Remove the clutch housing with pressure plate and the clutch disc.

Warning: Do not clean the clutch disc or release bearing with solvent.

Warning! It is advisable to remove the flywheel and check the rear crankshaft seal for leaks. Replace the seal if necessary.

Checking the clutch housing with pressure plate

1. Check the diaphragm spring at the points of contact with the clutch release bearing for wear, cracks and determine the difference in height of the ends of the diaphragm spring. If there are any defects, replace the clutch housing with the pressure plate.

• Height difference between the ends of the diaphragm spring: 0.5 mm

2. Check the pressure plate for cracks, burns and surface wear.

3. Check the reliability of riveted connections.

Checking the clutch disc

1. Check the reliability of the riveted connections of the friction linings to the clutch disc. If defects are present, replace the clutch disc.



2. Check the protrusion of the friction linings above the rivet heads. If the protrusion is less than the permissible limit, replace the clutch disc.

Protrusion: 1.1 mm

3. Check the condition of the clutch disc friction linings and if there are traces of oil or mechanical damage, replace the clutch disc.

4. Clean the splines of the transmission input shaft and install the clutch disc on the shaft. If the clutch disc moves on the shaft with difficulty or there is too much play in the spline connection, replace the clutch disc and/or the input shaft.

Checking the clutch release bearing

Warning: The clutch release bearing is sealed and must not be washed.

1. Check the condition of the clutch release bearing, which should rotate easily, evenly and quietly, and should have no play. The working surface of the bearing, which acts on the pressure spring, should be smooth, without cracks, local corrosion or wear.

2. A faulty clutch release bearing can be identified without removing it from the vehicle by pressing the clutch pedal while the engine is running. If additional noise occurs when the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch release bearing is faulty and must be replaced.

Checking the clutch release fork

If there is uneven wear at the contact points of the release fork with the bearing, replace the release fork.

Installation

1. Apply grease to the contact surfaces of the bearing, cylinder and clutch release fork.

Warning: When installing the clutch, apply grease to all moving parts, but do not use excessive grease as this may cause the clutch to slip.

2. Apply grease to the recess of the clutch release bearing.



Lubricant: CASMOLY L9508



3. Apply grease to the contact surfaces of the clutch release fork support.

4. Using fine grit sandpaper, clean the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces, making sure all abrasive material and grease are removed from the cleaned surfaces.

5. Apply grease to the clutch disc splines and gearbox input shaft.

6. Install the clutch disc and center it with the special mandrel 09411-11000. When installing the clutch disc, the surface of the disc with the marking must be located on the pressure plate side.

7. Install the clutch housing with the pressure plate onto the flywheel guide pins.

8. Gradually, in a diagonal sequence and in a specific order, tighten the flywheel mounting bolts.

Tightening torque: 15–22Nm

9. Remove the mandrel that centers the clutch disc.

10. Install the gearbox.



11. Adjust the clutch pedal free play.
