Clutch Release Mechanism: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Apply grease to the clutch components. Otherwise, abnormal noise, poor clutch disengagement, or clutch damage may occur. Wipe the excess grease off completely, as it may cause the clutch components to slip and shudder.
  • Keep the clutch disc facing, pressure plate, and flywheel free of oil and grease.
  • Clean any old grease and abrasive materials off of the grease application areas as shown.
  • Apply approximately a 1 mm (0.04 in) thick coating of clutch sleeve grease evenly on the sliding part of the clutch lever and the release bearing spring.
  • Apply just enough clutch sleeve grease to fill up the release bearing inner groove.
  • Apply the clutch grease to the clutch disc and the input shaft spline. Install the clutch disc to the input shaft, remove the excess grease around the shaft, and remove the clutch disc.
  • Lightly and evenly apply the clutch sleeve grease on the sliding part of the release bearing. Install the release bearing and remove any excess grease around the bearing, then remove the release bearing.
