1. Flywheel; 2. guide bearing; 3. Friction disc (engine 5VZ-FE); 4. Clutch cover; 5. Release bearing; 6. Spring clip; 7. Fork; 8. Fork axle; 9. Case; 10. Friction disc (3RZ-FE engine)
The clutch is dry, single-plate diaphragm type with hydraulic drive.
It is recommended that the following preliminary checks be performed to determine the condition of the clutch.
Examination
1. Check fluid level, refill if necessary (if the tank is empty, then add fluid and bleed the hydraulic drive). Determine the cause of the leak.
2. To check for clutch slip, depress the pedal while the engine is idling, and after a few seconds, engage reverse gear. A rattle will indicate increased wear on the pressure or friction discs.
3. Check the completeness of the clutch disengagement. To do this, with the engine running, press the clutch pedal so that the pedal does not reach the floor by 6 mm. Shift from 1st gear to reverse several times. Difficult shifting indicates worn parts. Check the stroke of the slave cylinder with the pedal fully depressed. If the stroke is small, then check the fluid level.
4. Check the condition of the guide bearing, make sure the clutch fork has no play on the axle.
