Clutch Assembly Adjustment 14 Inch Valeo Internal Adj.

14 Inch Valeo Clutch System

1. Measure the distance from the flywheel housing to the release bearing pads with 25 N·m (6 lb) of force pulling the bearing toward the transmission.

1.1.	If 99.9 mm (0.750 in) on transmissions without a clutch brake, no adjustment is necessary.

1.2.	If 92.7 mm (0.50 in) on transmissions with a clutch brake, no adjustment is necessary.

1.3.	If the release bearing position is incorrect, loosen the lock rings and turn the adjusting nut in order to achieve the proper distance.

2. Tighten the lock ring securely against the release lever spider.

1. Remove the hand hole cover from the clutch housing.
2. Depress the clutch in order to move the adjusting ring for the adjustment of the bearing position.
3. Insert a boxed end wrench through the inspection hole.
4. Depress the square headed bolt in order to adjust the clutch.

•	The KWIK-Adjust will re-engage at a quarter of a turn.

•	The flat on the bolt head will align with the flat edge of the bracket.

Important: For synchronized transmissions, turn the adjusting bolt in order to obtain approximately 17.8 mm (0.7 in) clearance between the clutch cover and the release bearing.

For non-synchronized transmissions, turn the adjusting bolt in order to obtain approximately 18.6 mm (0.73 in) clearance between the clutch cover and the release bearing.
5. Turn the adjusting bolt in order to adjust the release bearing.

•	A counterclockwise movement of the adjusting bolt moves the release bearing toward the engine.

•	A clockwise movement of the adjusting bolt moves the release bearing toward the transmission.

6. After the correct bearing position is achieved, ensure the KWIK-Adjust is engaged in the locked position.
7. Release the clutch pedal in order to engage the clutch.
8. Start the engine and check the clutch system for proper operation.
9. Install the hand hole cover to the clutch housing.

1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the clutch return spring from the side of the transmission
3. Loosen the jam and adjusting nut
4. Using a suitable spring scale, apply 2.2 kg (5 lb) to 3.1 kg (7 lb) and pull rearward on the clutch lever.
5. Using a suitable spring scale, apply 2.7 kg (6 lb) and pull in the opposite direction.
6. Ensure that the clutch pedal is agaisnt the rubber stop.



7. Adjust the adjusting nut down the threads until the adjusting nut is in contact with the spacer block.
8. Use a 3/8 inch drive socket extension as a gage.
9. Position the end of the 3/8 inch drive (square end) socket extension on the side of the adjusting nut.
10. Adjust the jam nut until the threads are against the side of the 3/8 (square end) drive socket extension.
11. Ensure the jam nut does not move.
12. Remove the 3/8 drive socket extension.
13. Hold the jam nut in place.
14. Position the adjusting nut up the threads until it comes in contact with the jam nut.
15. Use a suitable feeler gage to check the clearance between the clutch fingers and the release bearing.
16. Ensure the clearance between the clutch fingers and the release bearing is 1/8 inch.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

17. If the clearance between the clutch fingers and the release bearing is not 1/8 inch, reposition the adjusting nut until the proper clearance between the clutch fingers and the release bearing is achieved.

Tighten
Tighten the jam nut to 40  N·m (30 lb ft).

18. Install the return spring.

Important: Use a scale to measure the clutch pedal free play. Record and retain this information. After normal operation, occasionally check (measure) the clutch pedal free play. When the distance of clutch pedal free play becomes half of what was earlier recorded, an adjustment to the clutch cable is required.

19. Check the clutch system for normal operation.
