 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTION A
PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT B
PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000007465951

The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along C
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. CL
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the “SRS AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT” of this
Service Manual.
WARNING: E
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision that would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
F
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see “SRS AIR BAG”. G
• Never use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Ser-
vice Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or harness
connectors. H
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
Always observe the following items for preventing accidental activation. I
• When working near the Air Bag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Air Bag System sensors with the
ignition ON or engine running, never use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with
a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing J
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.
K
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top Cover INFOID:0000000007465953

When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
L
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc to prevent damage to
windshield.

Service Notice or Precautions for Clutch INFOID:0000000007465954

WARNING: P
After cleaning clutch disc, wipe it with a dust collector. Never use compressed air.
CAUTION:
• Clutch fluid use refer to MA-17, "FOR NORTH AMERICA : Fluids and Lubricants".
• Never reuse drained clutch fluid.
• Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately
and wash the affected area with water.
• When removing clutch tube, use a flare nut wrench.

Revision: 2013 February CL-3 2012 G Sedan

 PRECAUTIONS
< PRECAUTION >
• When installing clutch tube, use a flare nut torque wrench
[Commercial service tool].
• Use new clutch fluid to clean or wash all parts of master cylin-
der.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will
ruin the rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Never reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and CSC
tube. Because CSC slides back to the original position every
time when removing transmission assembly. At this timing,
dust on the sliding parts may damage a seal of CSC and may
cause clutch fluid leakage. Refer to CL-17, "Removal and
SBR686C
Installation".
• Never disassemble CSC body.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CLUTCH PEDAL
Inspection and Adjustment INFOID:0000000007465957

INSPECTION
1. Make sure that clevis pin (1) floats freely in the bore of clutch
pedal. It should not be bound by clevis or clutch pedal.
a. If clevis pin is not free, make sure that ASCD clutch switch (2) is
not applying pressure to clutch pedal causing clevis pin to bind.
To adjust, loosen lock nut (3) and turn ASCD clutch switch.
b. Tighten lock nut. Refer to CL-9, "Exploded View".
c. Make sure that clevis pin floats in the bore of clutch pedal. It
should not be bound by clutch pedal.
d. If clevis pin is still not free, remove clevis pin and check for
deformation or damage. Replace clevis pin if necessary. Leave JPDIB0001ZZ
clevis pin removed for step 2.
2. Check clutch pedal stroke for free range of movement.
a. With clevis pin removed, manually move clutch pedal up and down to determine if it moves freely.
b. If any sticking is found, replace related parts (bushing, clutch pedal, etc.). Reassemble clutch pedal and
again make sure that clevis pin floats freely in the bore of clutch pedal.
3. Check clutch hydraulic and system components (clutch master cylinder, CSC, etc.) for sticking or binding.
a. If any sticking or binding is found, repair or replace related parts as necessary.
b. If hydraulic system repair was necessary, bleed the clutch hydraulic system. Refer to CL-7, "Air Bleeding
Procedure".
NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of vacuum assist or
power bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust clutch interlock switch (1) position so that clearance
between stopper rubber (2) and thread end (A) of clutch inter-
lock switch with clutch pedal depressed is clearance “C”.

Standard value
Clearance “C” : Refer to CL-24, "Clutch Pedal".
2. After adjusting clearance “C”, tighten lock nut (3) to the specified
torque. Refer to CL-9, "Exploded View".

CAUTION:
• Never reuse CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) body and CSC tube. Because CSC slides back to the K
original position every time when removing transmission assembly. At this timing, dust on the slid-
ing parts may damage a seal of CSC and may cause clutch fluid leakage. Refer to CL-17, "Removal
and Installation". L
• Never bring any grease to the clutch disc facing, pressure plate surface and flywheel surface.
• Never clean clutch disc using solvent.
If flywheel is removed, align dowel pin with the smallest hole of flywheel. Refer to EM-274, "Disassembly and
Assembly". M

REMOVAL
1. Remove transmission assembly from the engine. Refer to TM-28, "Removal and Installation". N
2. Remove clutch cover mounting bolts and washers while holding clutch cover, using a power tool [Com-
mercial service tool].
CAUTION:
O
Never drop clutch disc.
3. Remove clutch cover and clutch disc.
CAUTION:
Never drop clutch disc. P

INSTALLATION
1. Clean clutch disc and main drive gear splines to remove grease and powder arisen from abrasion.
2. Apply recommended grease to clutch disc and main drive gear splines.
CAUTION:
Be sure to apply grease to the points specified. Otherwise, noise, poor disengagement, or damage
to the clutch may result. Excessive grease may cause slip or judder. And if it adheres to seal of

the parts.
3. Install clutch disc, using a clutch aligner [Commercial service
tool].
CAUTION:
If either clutch disc or clutch cover is needed to be
replaced, replace them as a set.
4. Install washers to clutch cover mounting bolts.
5. Install clutch cover and then temporarily tighten clutch cover
mounting bolts.
CAUTION:
If either clutch disc or clutch cover is needed to be
replaced, replace them as a set. SCIA6797E

evenly in two steps in the numerical order as shown in the figure.
7. Install transmission assembly to the engine. Refer to TM-28, "Removal and Installation".

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

CLUTCH DISC
• Measure circumferential runout relative to clutch disc center spline.
If it is outside the specification, replace clutch disc and clutch cover
as a set.

Runout limit/diameter of the area : Refer to CL-24,

to be measured "Clutch Disc".
• Measure backlash to clutch disc spline and main drive gear spline
at the circumference of clutch disc. If it is outside the specification,
replace clutch disc and clutch cover as a set.

Maximum allowable spline back- : Refer to CL-24,
lash (at outer edge of disc) "Clutch Disc".
• Measure the depth “A” to clutch disc facing rivet heads, using a
calipers. If it exceeds the allowable wear limit, replace clutch disc
and clutch cover as a set.

Facing wear limit (depth to the : Refer to CL-24,

rivet head) “A” "Clutch Disc".

CLUTCH COVER
• Check clutch cover thrust ring for wear or breakage. If wear or breakage is found, replace clutch disc and
clutch cover as a set.
NOTE:
• Worn thrust ring will generate a beating noise when tapped at the rivet with a hammer.
• Broken thrust ring will make a clinking sound when cover is shaken up and down.
• If a trace of burn or discoloration is found on the clutch cover pressure plate to clutch disc contact surface,
repair the surface with sandpaper. If surface is damaged or distorted, replace clutch disc and clutch cover as
a set.
