Clutch Assembly Replacement 3.8L Engine

Tools Required

1. Remove the manual transmission. Refer to Transmission Replacement in Manual Transmission - M49.
2. Remove the clutch pressure plate bolts (1).
3. Remove the clutch pressure plate (2) and driven disc (4) from the dowel pins on the flywheel (3).

Important: When the clutch driven plate requires replacement, the engine flywheel must also be replaced along with the clutch pressure plate as an assembly.

1. Install the clutch pressure plate (2) and driven plate (6) to the dowel pins on the flywheel (5).
2. Match the gray paint spot (7) on the pressure plate (2) to the X (4) on the flywheel (5).
3. Install the clutch pressure plate bolts (1) finger tight.
4. Install the J 33169 in order to align the clutch driven plate to the clutch pilot bearing.

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.

5. Tighten the clutch pressure plate bolts (1).

Tighten
Tighten the clutch pressure plate bolts (1) to 20 N·m (15 lb ft). Use the J 36660-A to torque the clutch pressure plate bolts (1) an additional 45 degrees.
