E-Clutch Measurement
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
After the E-clutch is cleaned and assembled the end play must be measured to verify that the correct select snap-ring has been installed.
- Place the E-clutch assembly on a suitable arbor press. Mount a dial indicator with magnetic base (2) attached to the E-clutch retainer (1) with the plunger tip (3) resting on the reaction plate (4).
- Pry up on the bottom of the reaction plate (4) and zero the dial indicator.
- Place the (special tool #10429, Gauge, Force) (2), (special tool #8901A, Pressing Tool) (with press scale removed) and (special tool #10428, Adapter, Pressing Tool) (3) on the reaction plate (5).
- Using an arbor press (1), apply 20.4 kg (45 lbs) of force (which corresponds to a 45 psi gauge reading) to compress the E-clutch and record the dial indicator (4) measurement.
- The reading should be within specification. Refer to CLUTCH SPECIFICATIONS . If not, install a thicker or thinner E-clutch select snap-ring.
