Clutch Assembly Adjustment 14 inch Valeo Internal
- Measure the distance from the flywheel housing to the release
bearing pads with 25 N·m (6 lb) of force pulling the bearing
toward the transmission.
1.1. | If 99.9 mm (0.750 in) on transmissions without a
clutch brake, no adjustment is necessary. |
1.2. | If 92.7 mm (0.50 in) on transmissions with a clutch
brake, no adjustment is necessary. |
1.3. | If the release bearing position is incorrect, loosen the lock
rings and turn the adjusting nut in order to achieve the proper distance. |
• | Spanner wrenches can be used to loosen and tighten the lock nuts. |
• | T-3000 spanner wrenches from Great Lakes Tool Specialties (1-800-877-9618
) can be used to loosen and tighten the lock nuts. |
- Tighten the lock ring securely against the release lever spider.
Clutch Assembly Adjustment Dana/Spicer Internal
- Remove the hand hole cover from the clutch housing.
- Depress the clutch in order to move the adjusting ring for the
adjustment of the bearing position.
- Insert a boxed end wrench through the inspection hole.
- Depress the square headed bolt in order to adjust the clutch.
• | The KWIK-Adjust will re-engage at a quarter of a turn. |
• | The flat on the bolt head will align with the flat edge of the
bracket. |
Important: For synchronized transmissions, turn the adjusting bolt in order to
obtain approximately 17.8 mm (0.7 in) clearance between the
clutch cover and the release bearing.
For non-synchronized transmissions, turn the adjusting bolt in
order to obtain approximately 18.6 mm (0.73 in) clearance between
the clutch cover and the release bearing.
- Turn the adjusting bolt in order to adjust the release bearing.
• | A counterclockwise movement of the adjusting bolt moves the release
bearing toward the engine. |
• | A clockwise movement of the adjusting bolt moves the release bearing
toward the transmission. |
- After the correct bearing position is achieved, ensure the KWIK-Adjust
is engaged in the locked position.
- Release the clutch pedal in order to engage the clutch.
- Start the engine and check the clutch system for proper operation.
- Install the hand hole cover to the clutch housing.
Clutch Assembly Adjustment 13 inch Valeo Cable
- Apply the parking brake.
- Remove the return spring from the side of the transmission
- Loosen the jam and adjusting nuts and position both nuts away
from the spacer block.
- Pull rearward on the clutch lever (Fork). Apply about seven pounds
of force toward the engaged position (Rearward).
- Apply about six pounds of force to the opposite direction to position
the clutch pedal against the rubber bump stop in the cap.
- With the force applied to both the cable and clutch lever, spin
the adjusting nut down the threads until the adjusting nut is in contact with
the spacer block. This will maintain tension on both the clutch lever and
cable.
- Using a three eighths inch drive socket extension as a gage, position
the end of the drive socket extension on the side of the adjusting nut.
- Position the jam nut down the threads against the side of the
drive socket extension.
- Ensuring the jam nut does not move, remove the drive socket extension.
- Holding the jam nut in place, move the adjusting nut up the threads
until it comes in contact with the jam nut.
- Ensure the clearance between the clutch fingers and the release
bearing is one eight inch. Blue Point Gage, number 2034 can be used to check
the clearance between the clutch fingers and the release bearing.
- If the clearance between the clutch fingers and the release bearing
is not one eight inch, move (tweak) the adjusting nut until the clearance
between the clutch fingers and the release bearing is achieved.
Tighten
Tighten the jam nut to 40 N·m (30 lb ft).
- Install the return spring.
- Using a tape measure the clutch pedal free play. Record and retain
this information. After normal operation, occasionally check (measure) the
clutch pedal free play. When the distance of clutch pedal free play becomes
half of what was earlier recorded, an adjustment to the clutch cable is required.
- Check the clutch system for normal operation.
