Chery A series. Manual — part 51

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT OF CLUTCH CABLE

·Put dust cap up and screw jam nut (11) and

adjustment bushing (12) to the upper end
(make the adjustment travel L minimum)
so as to facilitate the assembly of clutch
cable.

·Coat a little lubricant on the assembly

fitting surface of clutch cable.

·Put clip (1) across the guiding cylinder of

clutch pedal on the front brattice to
connect the clutch pedal. Make sure that
washer (3) and end face of guiding
cylinder of clutch pedal are spliced.

·Make butt end (18) fixed by bracket after

across the slot in release arm of
transmission and rubber cushion through
the upper face of transmission.

·After the assembly, uplift the segregation

arm of transmission by hand and adjust the
adjustment bushing (12) down at the same
time, so the 2~3mm clearance for
segregation arm of transmission is
available; then tread the clutch pedal for 10
times to ensure the fitness of assembly and
readjust the adjustment bushing to
guarantee that the 2~3mm clearance for
segregation arm of transmission is
available (Remarks：For new clutch, the
adjustment travel L of driven disk cable
shall not be less than 18mm. See Pic.2).

·Carry out the driving examination for the

whole automobile. Clutch and gear shifting
operation shall be normal.

·Screw jam nut (11) down to close with

adjustment bushing (12), and then put
down dust cover (9).

CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY

·Disassemble the transmission.




·Unscrew 9 fixed bolts in flywheel

cornerwise and dismount the flywheel.

CLUTCH OVERHAUL

· Clutch friction disk: measure the dent depth of

rivet head, i.e. the distance between the rivet head
and the friction disk surface. In case it is found that
the depth reaches the using limit for any hole, the
friction disk shall be changed.

·Measure the clutch disc runout using a dial indicator.

If the runout is excessive, replace the clutch disc.

Runout 0.8mm max

Clutch pressure plate:

·Examine whether the diaphragm spring has

abnormal wear or damage.

·Examine whether the pressure plate has wear or hot

point.

·In case of any abnormality, the pressure plate shall

be changed. The pressure plate shall not be
disassembled into two parts: diaphragm spring and
pressure plate.

·Measure the clutch pressure plate runout using a dial

indicator. If the runout is excessive, replace the
clutch disc.

Runout 0.25mm max

Flywheel:

·Examine whether the connection surface of friction

disk exists abnormal wear or hot point; the change
or maintenance shall be conducted if necessary.

·Measure the flatness of the flywheel with a straight

edge and a feeler gauge. If not as specified, replace
the clutch cover.

Maximum clearance 0.05mm

Service limit 0.15mm
