Repair Procedures: Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Make sure to proceed compensate wear procedure referring to table below in case of a clutch actuator & TCM assembly or a clutch actuator replacement.
Replacement part Remedy
If only 'dual clutch assembly' has been replaced Need to initialize rod length
If 'dual clutch assembly' and 'clutch actuator & TCM assembly' both have been replaced Not required
  1. Rod length initialization (when replace only dual clutch assembly) 
    NOTE:
    • Make sure to perform rewinding rod length procedure if replacing a clutch actuator & TCM assembly only and reusing a dual clutch assembly.
    • This procedure is to adjust length of a new clutch actuator & TCM assembly rod as an old clutch actuator & TCM assembly rod length.
    1. Remove the clutch actuator & TCM assembly.

      (Refer to Clutch Actuator & Assembly - "REMOVAL ")

    2. Measure and write down length of the old rod in condition of pulling clutch actuator rod.

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

    3. Remove the sealing rubber (A).

    4. Push actuator rods (A) from the tip and release when you see the nut bump (B).

      Information 

      • Illuminate inside of the access hole and check the bump inside as shown on (B).
      • 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.
    5. After inserting the SST (0K430-Q5300) into sealing rubber hole, adjust length of clutch actuator rod by rotating SST counterclockwise.

      Initialization length  : 79 - 80 mm (3.1102 - 3.1496 in.)

      Required number of rotation  =(Old rod length - New rod length)/0.25 mm (0.009 in)

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

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

      Information 

      Perform same procedure on opposite side rod.

      NOTE:

      Make sure not to break any clutch actuator internal parts when using SST to rotate counter clockwise.


      The DCT transmission may not engage or have shift shock if the length of the new clutch actuator rod has not been properly adjusted as the old actuator rod using the measurements from step 2.
    6. Pull out the actuator rods (A) in the direction of arrow.

    7. Check if 'clutch actuator rod length', which is finally done with adjustment, and 'clutch actuator rod initialization length' are same while pulling clutch actuator rod.
      1. Length from the base surface (C) to the end of the rod (B).

    8. Install the clutch actuator & TCM assembly.
