CLUTCH AMT 8 FACTORS AFFECTING CLUTCH WEAR The clutch is designed to give maximum life under most severe conditions when handled carefully. However, while in operation, clutch lining is subjected to wear. Apart from this the extent of wear also depends on following. Automatic transmissions use pressure to apply and release clutches, or essentially shift gears. This pressure is affected by a number of variables, but the baseline numbers are determined in large part by the fluid and its relative condition, which is affected by heat. Hot, older fluid can decrease (or increase) the pressures within the transmission beyond engineered tolerances. When this happens components begin to fail and soon the driver is left with an expensive repair bill. REMOVAL OF CLUTCH FROM THE CAR: 1. Position and Lift the car using two post lift. 2. Disconnect electrical connections from AMT, clutch position sensor. 3. Disconnect and remove transaxle along with clutch housing from engine (for procedure refer transaxle group). 4. Loosen the clutch lever interface. 5. Remove clutch release bearing with sleeve 6. Support clutch pressure plate and clutch disc with mandrel & remove. NOTE: 1. It is recommended to replace a defective disc having any of the above mentioned defects with a new genuine clutch disc. We do not recommend removal and replacing of clutch facing. 2. We do not recommend overhauling of the clutch pressure plate assembly. However, before re-fitment, the assembly should be checked for specifications and should conform to the data of clutch pressure plate assembly given on page 3. 3. Use correct clutch discs for the 1.22 NG NA versions Identification. 4. Use Disc and Pressure plate of the same make. Ensure that the clutch facing material is not contaminated with oil or grease as this shall result in clutch slipping. INSTALLATION OF CLUTCH ON THE CAR: Carryout the clutch removal steps in appropriate sequence for its fitment. However, following care must be taken during installation.  Clean friction face of flywheel and check for cracks, scoring, burn marks or unevenness. If necessary, machine flywheel friction face just to clear the defect.  Before fitment of clutch on the flywheel remove 3 protective clamps from pressure plate assembly. For removal of 3 clamps, press Diaphragm fingers of pressure plate assy. till the clamps becomes loose & take it out.  Lightly apply Dow corning P40 grease on the disc splines. Install disc and pressure plate assembly. Press the aligning mandrel through the pressure plate assembly and clutch disc and centralize clutch disc on flywheel by locating the mandrel at the flywheel end. NOTE: Do not mix clutch mounting bolts with other fasteners. Do not use longer or shorter screws. Longer screws may not tighten the clutch at all. Shorter screws will not provide enough threads to achieve desired tightening.  While tightening the clutch mounting screws check aligning mandrel for continuous free sliding to ensure concentric installation of clutch disc which will avoid trouble during the installation of the transaxle
