2. The check is performed below the clutch slave cylinder and requires the use of a special device, which can be easily made from a strip of metal according to the provided sketch (see fig. 33.2).
Fig. 33.2. Measuring device for determining wear of the driven clutch disc
- A - 55.0 mm
- B - 26.0 mm
- C - 7.0 mm
- D - 14.0 mm
- E - 12.0 mm
3. After making the measuring device, do the following.
4. Apply the parking brake, then raise the front of the vehicle with a jack and place it on supports (see "Lifting the car and placing it on supports").
5. Insert the fork of the device into the gap between the flange of the working cylinder and the bell-shaped clutch housing.
6. Push the device until the fork rests against the pusher of the working cylinder.
7. If the two notches on the device are not visible, then the driven disk linings are in satisfactory condition. If both notches are visible, then the linings have reached a critical thickness and the clutch assembly must be replaced (see Fig. 33.7, a, b).
