The clutch assembly is a single-disc type with a diaphragm spring pressure plate. All models use a hydraulically-controlled clutch system consisting of a master cylinder, release cylinder, release lever and release bearing.

BLEEDING CLUTCH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Attach hose to bleeder fitting located on clutch release cylinder, next to hydraulic line. Submerge other end of hose in container half full of clean brake fluid. Fill reservoir with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Open bleeder fitting. Have assistant press clutch pedal to full release position. Close bleeder fitting. Release clutch pedal. Repeat until air bubbles no longer emerge from hose. Refill reservoir.

CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

1. Loosen lock nut "A", and back off clutch pedal switch "A" until it breaks contact with clutch pedal. Loosen lock nut "C", and turn clutch pedal push rod until correct pedal height is obtained. Tighten lock nut "C" to specification.

• Honda 1992-1995 EG Civic
  Pedal Height In. (mm): .47-.83 (12-21)
  Pedal Free Play In. (mm): 6.50 (164)

2. Turn clutch pedal switch "A" in until it contacts clutch pedal. Turn switch another 3/4-1 turn. Tighten lock nut "A" to specification. Loosen lock nut "B" and clutch pedal switch "B". Measure clearance between floor board and clutch pedal with clutch pedal fully depressed.

* DISENGAGEMENT HEIGHT3. Release clutch pedal .6-.8" (15-20 mm) from fully depressed position, and hold it there. Adjust position of clutch pedal switch "B" so engine will start with clutch pedal in this position. Turn clutch pedal switch another 3/4-1 turn. Tighten lock nut "B" to specification.


REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

If vehicle has anti-theft radio, obtain code number before disconnecting battery. After service, turn radio on. When CODE appears, enter code to restore radio operation.


CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

1. Disconnect negative and positive battery cables. Remove battery base, and air cleaner and tube assembly. Disconnect starter and transaxle ground cables. Remove engine harness clamp. Disconnect speedometer sensor connector. Disconnect back-up light switch.
2. Remove clutch pipe bracket and clutch release cylinder. Drain transaxle fluid. Remove starter. Remove engine and right wheelwell splash shields. Separate lower control arms from ball joints. Remove right radius rod. Using 2 large screwdrivers, pry both drive shaft inner CV joints out of transaxle. Protect drive shaft ends.
3. Remove header pipe and bracket. Remove shift and extension rods. Remove front stopper bracket. Remove engine stiffeners and clutch cover. Install hoist at proper places on engine, and lift engine slightly to unload engine mounts.
4. Place a jack under tranny, and slightly raise jack to take weight off transaxle mounts. Remove front transaxle mount. Remove rear transaxle mount bracket. Remove side transaxle mount. Remove transaxle housing mount bolts. Pull transaxle away from engine, and remove transaxle.

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

1. Check pressure plate diaphragm spring fingers for wear and unevenness on release bearing contact area. Check spring finger height using feeler gauge and Clutch Disc Aligner Assembly (07JAF-PM7012A and 07936-3710100 ).
2. Verify clearance between tool flange and finger. See clutch specs on bottom of this page. If necessary, install Ring Gear Holder Assembly (07924-PD20003 or 07LAB-PV00100 ) to hold flywheel stationary while removing pressure plate and clutch disc.
3. With pressure plate and clutch disc removed, inspect pressure plate surface for wear, cracks, burning and runout. Maximum face warpage is .006" (.15 mm). Measure warpage using straightedge and feeler gauge at several points.
4. Inspect clutch disc lining for slipping, excessive wear, burning and oil contamination. Measure disc thickness and rivet depth. Check for loose rubber torsion dampers. Replace disc if any dampers are loose. Check disc runout. See clutch specs on bottom of this page.
5. Inspect flywheel ring gear teeth for excessive wear and damage. Inspect flywheel surface for wear, burning and cracks. Check flywheel runout, flywheel pilot bearing and release bearing. Resurface or replace as necessary.
