Rod Length Initialization (When Replace Only Dual Clutch Assembly)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Make sure to perform this procedure if replacing only dual clutch assembly but reusing clutch actuator. This procedure is adjusting changed existing clutch actuator rod length to a new product rod length.
  1. Remove the clutch actuator. (Refer to Clutch Actuator - Removal )
  2. Fix the clutch actuator (A) which had been removed from vehicle with nut (B) after installing on SST (09430-C1302).

  4. Initialization procedure will be needed if the measure value of each rod length, which measured in state of pulling lever on removed clutch actuator from vehicle, is shorter than initializing length specification.

    Rod length (A):  length from the base surface (C) to the end of the rod (B).

    (initialization length : 71.5 ~ 72.5 mm / 2.81 ~ 2.85 in)

    Information 

    • Light inside of the hole and check the bump 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.

  8. Put SST (09302-C1300) into sealing rubber hole. Adjust length of the clutch actuator rod by rotating SST counterclockwise.

    Extend length of rod (+)  :counterclockwise rotation / 1 rotation (+0.25 mm / +0.009 in)

    Shorten length of rod (-)  clockwise rotation / 1 rotation (-0.25 mm / -0.009 in)

  11. Check if 'clutch actuator rod length', which is finally done with adjustment, and 'clutch actuator rod initialization length' are same while pulling clutch actuator lever.

    Rod length (A):  length from the base surface (C) to the end of the rod (B).

    (initialization length : 71.5 ~ 72.5 mm / 2.81 ~ 2.85 in)
