B. Initializing The Rod Length (When Only The Dual Clutch Assembly Is Replaced Or Both Dual Clutch Assembly And Clutch Actuator Is Replaced)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Hyundai Kona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Be sure to perform it when you have replaced the dual clutch assembly but reuse the clutch actuator.
- Perform the procedure when both the dual clutch assembly and clutch actuator are replaced.
- It is performed to adjust the rod length of an old clutch actuator to that of a new clutch actuator.
- Remove the clutch actuator assembly.
(Refer to Clutch Actuator Assembly - "REMOVAL ")
- Install the faulty clutch actuator (A) on special service tool (09430-C1302) and fix the actuator using nuts and bolts.
- Fix the pull rod to hook (B) and then remove sealing rubber (A).
- Slightly pull the lever of the clutch actuator removed from the vehicle and measure length of each rod (C). If the length is shorter than the initialization length, you need to perform initialization.
Rod Length (C): Length from the reference plane (A) to the end of the rod (B).
(Initialize Rod Length: 71.5 - 72.5 mm (2.8149 - 2.8543 in.)
- Clutch actuator 1
- Clutch actuator 2
- Stand the clutch actuator vertically with SST (09430-C1302) (A) installed.
- After standing it vertically, remove the hook (B) from the rod.
- Press the end part of rod (A) and release the pressing force when you see the nut bump (B).
- Light inside of the hole (C) and check the nut bump (B) inside of it.
- Repeat the operation if the nut bump (B) does not come down to the assembly hole position.
- The nut bump (B) can be moved up a little by sealing boot if the pressing force is released.
- Insert a special tool (09430-C1300) (A) to a sealing rubber hole.
Rotate the SST counter-clockwise and adjust the length of the clutch actuator's rod.
Increasing (+) Rod Length: Rotate counter-clockwise/once +0.25mm (+0.0098 in.)
Shortening (-) Rod Length: Rotate clockwise/once -0.25mm (-0.0098 in.)
- Perform the same procedure for the opposite side rod.
NOTE:- Be aware not to break the clutch actuator caused by break away inner parts when the SST over rotates clockwise.
- If the rod length is not initialized to 71.5 - 72.5 mm (2.8149 - 2.8543 in.) during initialization of wear compensation, DCT shift shock may occur or driving may be impossible.
- With the clutch actuator fixing jig (09430-C1302) (A) mounted, maintain the level of the clutch actuator.
- With the fixing jig (094320-C1302) levelled, install the hook (B) on the clutch actuator.
- Slightly pull the lever of the clutch actuator and check whether the "length of the rod which the final adjustment is finished" is same with the "rod's initialized length".
Rod Length (C): Length from the reference plane (A) to the end of the rod (B).
(Initialize Rod Length: 71.5 - 72.5 mm (2.8149 - 2.8543 in.)
- Clutch Actuator 1
- Clutch Actuator 2
- Install the sealing rubber (A).
- Remove the clutch actuator assembly from the special tool (09430-C1302).
