We also worked on a Toyota 3k Transmission clutch.

Identifying that its cable operation we made sure that the following was done
  • Oil drained from the transmission
  • Driveshaft removed
  • Gear linkage removed
  • Clutch disconnected
  • Gearbox supported
  • Bell housing bolts removed
  • Clutch to cover flywheel marked
  • Clutch cover bolts removed
We cleaned and visually inspected all components for signs of wear, damage, overheating and if its suitable for further use.
  • Flywheel had signs of overheating
  • Pressure plate had signs of overheating
  • Clutch plate had signs of damage, wear, overheating and was not suitable for further use
  • Release bearing had signs of damage, wear, overheating and was not suitable for further use
  • Release fork had signs of overheating
  • Release linkage had signs of overheating
  • Spigot bearing had signs of overheating
  • Clutch housing had signs of overheating
  • Spigot shaft had signs of overheating
Each component had signs of overheating which could be a cause of not running enough oil (lubrication) that causes the internal components to overheat and fail.

Next we checked the run out of the flywheel which was 0.35mm which was in specification

We then resembled the clutch making sure all components were correctly put back in order and all bolts were torqued to the manufactures specifications.
