Clutch Disc Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the lining surface for burning and oil contamination. Repair using sandpaper if the trouble is minor. Replace the clutch disc if it is badly burned or oil soaked.
- Inspect for loose facing rivets or torsion dampers. Replace the clutch disc if any are loose.
- Measure the thickness of the lining at a rivet head on both sides using vernier calipers. Replace the clutch disc if less than minimum.
Minimum thickness
- 0.3 mm {0.012 in}
- Measure the clutch disc runout using a dial indicator. Replace the clutch disc if runout is excessive.
Maximum runout
- 0.7 mm {0.028 in}
