  Q: How to service and repair the clutch disc on Toyota Matrix?

  A: Start clutch disc service and repair by first taking out the manual transaxle assembly then removing the clutch release fork sub-assembly containing the removal of clutch release fork together with clutch release bearing from the transaxle assembly. The service begins with removing the clutch release bearing assembly from the clutch release fork before extracting the release fork support from the transaxle assembly followed by the release bearing hub clip and clutch release fork boot. Begin to remove the clutch cover assembly by lining up the matchmarks of clutch cover and flywheel sub-assembly while loosening all set bolts one round at a time until spring tension frees up. Afterward remove the 6 bolts to extract the clutch cover assembly maintaining the clutch disc assembly from falling. You should disassemble the clutch disc assembly while maintaining the oil-free state of the Pressure Plate as well as the lining part of the clutch disc assembly and the flywheel sub-assembly surface. You need to inspect the clutch disc assembly rivet head depth with vernier calippers to check if it exceeds 0.3 mm (0.012 in.). If not, replace it. Put the clutch disc assembly into the transaxle assembly along the correct installation path and verify its straightness with a dial indicator that should not show more than 0.8 mm (0.032 in.) deviation. Check the clutch cover assembly for wear and verify the diaphragm spring depth meets 0.5 mm (0.020 in.) while the width should be 6.0 mm (0.236 in.) to warrant a replacement. A dial indicator should measure the flywheel sub-assembly runout and maintain a reading below 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) while the clutch release bearing assembly needs inspection for damage and wear and its operation needs replacement if needed. You can install Special Service Tool: 09301-00210 by inserting it first into the clutch disc assembly and then into the flywheel sub-assembly but maintain correct orientation during this process. Tighten 6 bolts between the clutch cover assembly and flywheel sub-assembly following the specified order to 19 Nm (195 kgf/cm, 14 ft. lbs.) while confirming disc centering through even tension. Check the diaphragm spring tip alignment of the clutch cover assembly using a dial indicator with roller instrument by adjusting it with Special Service Tool: 09333-00013 when necessary. Socialize the release fork by affixing it to the transaxle assembly at a torque of 37 Nm (375 kgf/cm, 27 ft. lbs.). Subsequently attach the release bearing hub clip after which the technician should attach the clutch release fork sub-assembly and apply Toyota Genuine Release Hub Grease or equivalent to key contact points. Before implementing the clutch release bearing to the transaxle assembly users need to apply Toyota Genuine Clutch Spline Grease or equivalent to input shaft spline followed by checking smooth operation of the release bearing after installation. You must install both the manual transaxle assembly and the clutch release fork boot at the end of the process.
