Torque Specications for Flywheel & Pressure Plate
Flywheels and pressure plates need to be torqued
down to proper specications
The reason why these components need to be
torqued down to a specic value is to ensure
that the components do not loosen up and
function improperly. The clutch and ywheel
spin to thousands of RPM’s and have varied
harmonics sent though them by the engine and
drivetrain.
When one side has a greater torque value
combined with centrifugal force and harmonic
vibrations it allows the opposing side with a
lesser torque value to loosen up. Improper
torque is the number one reason
for a given rotating component
to become loose whether it is a
wheel and tire or a ywheel. For
these reasons it is imperative to
torque to proper specications.
When tightening ywheel or pressure plate
bolts you should tighten each bolt a little bit at a
time using a star pattern to tighten. This ensures
that each bolt receives an equal torque value.
When tightening bolts that require a specic
torque value NEVER used power tools such
as impact guns or air tools. When tightening
bolts use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure
the proper torque is being applied evenly to
the specic bolts. ALWAYS refer to the vehicles
factory service manual for proper torque
specications for a given bolt or component.
The use of thread locker or Loctite on each
ywheel bolt and pressure plate bolt gives
added insurance to avoid bolts backing
out resulting in damage to the vehicle and
its components. Damage to the crank and
transmission may occur when bolts back out
due to balance being thrown o and or contact
damage of components that have loosened up.
Hydraulic Clutch Pedal Adjustment
Measure the clutch pedal height.
Standard value (A): 202.1 - 206.1 mm
(7.96 - 8.11 inch)
CAUTION: Do not push in the master
cylinder push rod at this time,
otherwise the clutch will not operate
properly.
Measure the clutch pedal clevis pin
play. Standard value (B): 1 - 3 mm
(0.04 - 0.12 inch)
CAUTION: Do not push in the master
cylinder push rod at this time, otherwise
the clutch will not operate properly.
After completing the adjustments, conrm that the clutch pedal free play (measured at
the face of the pedal pad) and the distance between the clutch pedal (the face of the
pedal pad) and the clutch pedal stopper when the clutch is disengaged are within the
standard value ranges. Standard value (C): 4 - 13 mm (0.16 - 0.51 inch) Standard value
(D): 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) or more
