Clutch adjusting fixture is attached to rear face of engine flywheel housing.

28、b. Using the adjusting fixture, the clutch release travel gap is checked and the clutch unit adjusted asrequired to obtain a release travel gap between the rear of the release bearing and the front of thetransmission or input shaft brake of 12.7 mm to 14.3 mm (0.500 in to 0.562 in). Some clutchinsta

29、llations without an input shaft brake have a larger OEM specified release travel gap. For thesevehicles, a special fixture or unique indicator setting are required to obtain the correct gap. c. Some types of clutches for use without an input shaft brake do not use the adjusting fixture. Instead,they

30、 are adjusted to obtain a specific gap between the back of the clutch cover assembly and the frontof the clutch-release bearing as specified by the clutch manufacturer. Appropriate approved gages orfixtures must be used to obtain the correct adjustment.d. Some types of clutches require an adjustment

31、 locking procedure which must be accomplished perclutch manufacturers recommendations.e. Clutch-driven discs must be checked to insure that they spin freely when the release bearing is pulledrearward to the release position.f. Remove clutch disc alignment tool without damaging pilot bearing.g. Insta

32、llations with “lube tubes” for remote application of ball-bearing grease must have the tubes 100%pre-filled with a Lithium-base ball-bearing grease recommended by the clutch manufacturer.4.3.4 TRANSMISSION PREPARATIONFor this process, it is assumed that the correct transmission, clutch-releaseyoke,

33、cross shafts, and external control lever have been selected for installation:a. Inspect the transmissions cross-shaft bushings and grease fittings to make sure they are properlyoriented and not restricted.b. Assemble the cross shafts through the cross-shaft bushings and into the correctly oriented r

34、eleaseyoke being careful not to allow the cross shafts to protrude through the release yoke.c. Torque release yoke bolts and external control lever mounting bolt to OEM specifications.d. Release yoke/cross shaft and lever sub-assembly must be rotated to be sure there is freedom ofmovement and no bin

35、ding.4.3.5 TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION:a. Engine flywheel housing rear face and bore surfaces must be visually inspected to be sure they arefree of burrs, nicks, dirt, rust, or excessive paint.b. Transmission clutch-housing front face and pilot surfaces must be visually inspected to be sure theyare fr

36、ee of burrs, nicks, dirt, rust, or excessive paint.c. Rotate the release yoke so the fork tips are pointing forward and are as high as possible.d. Installations with an input shaft brake must have it installed on the shaft at this time and pushed as farrearward as possible.e. Place the transmission

37、in direct drive or overdrive.f. Using appropriate lifting devices, bring the transmission into correct straight alignment with the engineand move it forward to insert the input shaft into the clutch-release bearing bore.g. Continue to move the transmission forward with a minimum of angular movement

41、rmation Handling ServicesSAE J2407 Issued OCT1997-5-4.3.6 CLUTCH RELEASE LINKAGE INSTALLATION AND SETTINGFor this process, it is assumed that the correctsystem components have been selected for installation: a. Some types of release linkages use rods which are adjustable for length with some to be a

42、djusted to apre-determined length prior to installation. Appropriate gages or fixtures must be used to verify correctrod length prior to installation and locking nut torque must be to OEM specification.b. During linkage component installation, process instructions must be consulted to insure thecomp

43、onents are installed in the correct locations with the correct orientation.c. Some types of release systems have adjustable “stops” for the clutch pedal travel in the “up” position orthe “down” position, or both. Appropriate gages or fixtures must be used to assist in making theseadjustments.d. Some

44、 types of release systems are composed of rigid mechanical components which do not includean automatic clutch wear compensating feature. These systems must be adjusted to provide a “freetravel” gap between the release yoke fork tips and the release bearing housing contact point of 2.7 mmto 3.7 mm (0

45、105 in to 0.145 in). Appropriate gages or fixtures must be used in making the finalrelease linkage setting adjustment to insure the free travel gap at the release-bearing is withinspecifications and that locking nut torque is to OEM specification.e. Some types of release systems are composed of eit

46、her rigid mechanical components, pneumaticdevices, or hydraulic devices which do include an automatic clutch wear compensating feature. Thesesystems operate without freeplay. Some of these systems require post-installation adjustments at thepedal, or transmission, or both. Appropriate gages or fixtu

47、res must be used to assist in making theseadjustments. Hydraulic systems require 100% complete hydraulic fluid fill without fluid leakage andwith correct reservoir fill levels. Appropriate OEM specified processes are required to assurecompliance.f. Clutch-release yoke cross-shaft bushings and often

48、other components of the release system requirelubrication. OEM specified process instructions and check lists should be used to insure all requiredgrease points are correctly lubricated.g. Installations with an input shaft brake must not engage the brake when the clutch pedal is 25.4 mm(1.00 in) or

49、more above its fully depressed position. The input shaft brake must fully engage before theclutch pedal is fully depressed. The input shaft brake is fully engaged when a 0.25 mm (0.010 in)feeler gauge is held snugly between the input shaft brake and the clutch-release bearing.h. Throughout the full clutch pedal operating range, all moving components of the clutch-release systemmust operate without any contact or interference with any other vehicle component.4.3.7 END OF LINE INSPECTION:a. A customer pre-delivery inspection of the vehicle should include
