Repair Procedures: Installation

NOTE:
  • Check that the input shaft spline part (A) is sufficiently greased before installing the dual clutch assembly. If the input shaft spline part is not greased, apply the grease to 10 mm (0.3937 in.) on each spline end.
  • If an excessive amount of grease is applied, it may get scattered by centrifugal force, contaminating the clutch disc. This can lead to loss of friction force.

    Specified Grease:  Extreme pressure grease for vehicle

    Quantity:  0.15 - 0.25 g
