8.3.2. Coupling - the description and check
Coupling is dry, one-disk diaphragm type with the hydraulic drive.
The contour of a hydraulic actuator switched on consistently main and working cylinders via which transfer of effort from a pedal to a fork and on the release bearing of switching off of coupling is provided. On cars with the V6 engine the hydroaccumulator is in addition provided.
It is recommended to execute the following preliminary checks which allow to define a condition of coupling.
| PERFORMANCE ORDER |
| 1. Check liquid level, if necessary restore (if the tank is empty, then add liquid and pump over a hydraulic actuator). |
| 2. For check of coupling press a pedal idling of the engine and several seconds later turn on the reverse gear. The gnash will indicate the increased wear of press or frictional disks. |
| 3. Check completeness of switching off of coupling. For this purpose on the working engine press a coupling pedal so that the pedal did not reach a floor on 13 mm. Several times switch from the 1st transfer to back. The complicated switching indicates wear of details. Check the course of a rod of the working cylinder at completely pressed pedal. If the course is small, then check liquid level. |
| 4. Make sure that the clutch release fork lever has no side play on a spherical support. |
| 5. Check wear of the plug of a pedal in the top part. |
