Attention:
- Do not spill brake fluid on painted surfaces. If fluid is spilled, wipe it up immediately and rinse the area with water.
- When removing a manual transmission from a vehicle, always replace the concentric slave cylinder (CSC). To remove the manual transmission, the CSC insert is returned to its original position. Dust on the sliding components of the clutch drive plate can damage the CSC seal and cause brake fluid leakage.
Removal
1. Remove the manual gearbox. See chapter Manual transmission.
2. Loosen the bolts and remove the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) from the manual transmission.
Examination
Note: The concentric slave cylinder (CSC) and release bearing cannot be disassembled. Replace them as an assembly.
Check and replace the relevant components if necessary.
Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC): damage, foreign particles, wear, pitted porosity on the outside of the cylinder.
Release bearing:damage, non-compliance with the direction of rotation, misalignment, deformation or cracks in the seal.
Installation
1. Install the new CSC cylinder onto the manual transmission. Tighten to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 21 N·m (2.15 kg·m)
Caution: Do not insert or operate the CSC cylinder, as the piston and CSC component stopper may fall out.
