CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH


Clutch interlock switch is located on clutch pedal bracket.
With clutch pedal fully depressed, adjust clearance between rubber
stopper and threaded end of interlock switch. Clearance should be .
004-.039" (0.10-1.00 mm).

CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT


Clutch pedal height is adjusted by adjusting clutch pedal
stopper or clutch switch, located below pedal hinge. See Fig. 2.
Loosen lock nut. Rotate clutch pedal stopper or clutch switch until
pedal height is as specified in CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS
table. Tighten lock nut.

CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT SPECIFICATIONS TABLE



Application In. (mm)

NX & Sentra .......................... 5.91-6.30 (150-160)




CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY


Mechanical Clutch (NX & Sentra)
1) Adjust free play at release lever end of clutch cable. See
Fig. 2. Loosen lock nut. Apply hand pressure to release lever in
direction of clutch disengagement to remove free play. Tighten
adjusting nut.
2) Back off adjusting nut 2.5-3.5 turns. Free play at release
lever clevis pin should be .10-.14" (2.5-3.5 mm). Free play at clutch
pedal pad should be .43-.59" (10.9-15.0 mm).

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION


CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory
systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may
exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle.

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Removal
1) Remove battery and battery holder plate. Remove air
cleaner and airflow meter. Disconnect clutch cable or remove clutch
slave cylinder. Disconnect speedometer cable and electrical
connectors.
2) Remove starter. Disconnect shift control rod, and shift
support rod from transaxle. Drain transaxle gear oil. Remove front
wheels. On NX and Sentra, remove front exhaust tube. On all models,
remove drive axles. See the AXLE SHAFTS - FRONT article in the DRIVE
AXLES section.
3) Support rear of engine using jack. Remove left and rear
engine mounts. Support transaxle using jack. Remove transaxle-to-
engine bolts. Remove transaxle. Loosen pressure plate bolts in
crisscross pattern. Remove disc and pressure plate.

NOTE: All components except clutch disc and release bearing can be
cleaned in solvent.

Inspection
1) Check clutch disc for wear. Minimum wear limit of lining
above rivet heads is .012" (.3 mm). Check disc runout by mounting disc
onto input shaft. Mount dial indicator to transaxle case. Set
indicator plunger against face of disc at specified distance from hub
center. See CLUTCH DISC MAXIMUM RUNOUT SPECIFICATIONS table.
2) Replace clutch disc if runout exceeds specification.
Measure backlash (spline looseness) at outer edge of disc. SRefer to
the CLUTCH DISC MAXIMUM BACKLASH SPECIFICATIONS table. Replace clutch
disc if backlash exceeds specification.
3) Check disc hub fit on input shaft splines. Disc should
slide smoothly. Check end surface of pressure plate diaphragm springs
for wear. Inspect thrust springs by shaking pressure plate assembly.
Tap lightly on rivets. Replace assembly if noise is heard.
4) Check difference in height between diaphragm spring
fingers. Adjust diaphragm fingers if height differential exceeds
specification.
5) Inspect flywheel and pressure plate for scoring, grooves
and warpage. Dress light roughness on pressure plate and flywheel
using fine emery cloth. Machine flywheel surface (if necessary). If
surfaces are deeply scored, replace flywheel or pressure plate.

1.6L .......................................... .031 (.79)


2.0L .......................................... .035 (.89)

Installation
1) Lubricate input shaft splines and contact surfaces of
release fork and bearing. Ensure disc slides easily on splines. Remove
excess grease from components. Install clutch assembly, ensuring
clutch is aligned with appropriate-sized clutch aligner.
2) Tighten bolts evenly in a diagonal pattern to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Install transaxle in
reverse order of removal. Fill the transaxle with gear oil. Adjust
clutch pedal height and free play. Refer to CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT and
CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS.

CLUTCH CABLE (NX & SENTRA)


NOTE: After installing clutch cable, adjust clutch pedal free
play. See CLUTCH PEDAL FREE PLAY under ADJUSTMENTS.

Removal & Installation


Disconnect clutch cable at transaxle and clutch pedal. Remove
clutch cable. To install, reverse removal procedure.

CLUTCH RELEASE FORK & BEARING


Removal
1) Remove transaxle. See CLUTCH ASSEMBLY under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION. Disconnect retainer springs from release bearing and
note locations for proper reinstallation. Remove bearing.
2) Align release fork retaining pins with cavities in
transaxle. Using a pin punch, drive out retaining pins that hold shaft
and release fork together. Remove shaft, spring and release fork.

Inspection
Check contact areas of release bearing and fork for excessive
wear. Check release bearing for noise and roughness. Inspect return
spring and release bearing spring for wear. Replace components as
necessary.

Installation
1) Using a lithium-based grease, lubricate inner groove of
release bearing. Lubricate contact surfaces of release fork, bearing,
control shaft and housing. DO NOT use excessive lubricant on clutch
sliding components.
2) To install, reverse removal procedure. On NX and Sentra,
align holes in shaft and release fork. Drive in retaining pins. On all
models, install release bearing retainer springs on bearing. When
installing release bearing, verify bearing springs are secured on
fork.
