4. Insert the a suitable clutch alignment shaft with the suitable clutch alignment disc part and handle part. Use a feeler gauge and measure the clearance between the pressure plate spring fingers and the clutch alignment disc. There should be a maximum of 0.02 in. (0.6mm) of clearance for a new pressure plate with 0.03 in. (0.8mm) limit for a used pressure plate.
5. Remove the clutch alignment disc.
6. Install a suitable flywheel holder tool to aid in the removal of the pressure plate and clutch disc.
7. Matchmark the flywheel and pressure plate for easy reassembly. Remove the pressure plate bolts in a criss-cross pattern 2 turns at a time to prevent warping the plate.

See Figure 2

Fig. Fig. 2: Loosen the pressure plate bolts in a criss-cross pattern. This will prevent the plate from bending during the removal procedure

8. Remove the pressure plate, then the clutch disc with the alignment shaft

See Figures 3, 4 and 5

Fig. Fig. 3: Remove the pressure plate and clutch disc from the flywheel

Fig. Fig. 4: Clutch disc and alignment tool removal

Fig. Fig. 5: Inspect the clutch disc for signs of uneven wears

To install:

See Figures 6, 7 and 8

Fig. Fig. 6: Always check the rear main seal for oil leaks that may contaminate the friction surface of the clutch disc. Replace the seal if a leak is detected

Fig. Fig. 7: Notice the surface of this flywheel. Surface irregularities such as these are caused by constant overheating of the flywheel surface. While machining the surface may be possible, it is advised that the clutch be replaced

Fig. Fig. 8: This is how the clutch alignment tool should appear after it has been inserted into the pilot bearing

9. If the flywheel was removed, align the hole in the flywheel with the crankshaft dowel pin and install the mounting bolt finger-tight.
10. Install the flywheel holder, then tighten the flywheel mounting bolts in a criss-cross pattern in several steps. The mounting bolt final torque should be 76 ft. lbs. (103 Nm).
11. Apply a suitable high temperature grease part to the splines of the clutch disc, then install the clutch disc using the clutch alignment shaft.
12. Install the pressure plate, tighten the mounting bolts to 19 ft. lbs. (25 Nm), in the proper sequence shown in the accompanying figure.

See Figure 9

Fig. Fig. 9: Pressure plate bolt tightening sequence-Integra shown

13. Remove the flywheel holding tool and the clutch alignment shaft
14. Insert the clutch alignment shaft with the clutch alignment disc and handle. Use a feeler gauge and measure the clearance between the pressure plate spring fingers and the clutch alignment disc. There should be a maximum of 0.02 in. (0.6mm) of clearance for a new pressure plate with 0.03 in. (0.8mm) limit for a used pressure plate.
15. Install the transaxle assembly.
16. Connect the negative battery cable and enter the radio security code.

1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
2. Remove the starter motor.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic coupling for the slave cylinder at the transaxle by sliding the sleeve on the tube towards the slave cylinder and applying a slight pulling force to the tube.
4. Remove the transaxle.
5. Mark the assembled position of the clutch and pressure plate to the flywheel if it is to be reinstalled.

The clutch pressure plate is only held in place by the retaining bolts. No dowel pins are used, therefore the pressure plate must be supported when removing the retaining bolts.

6. Loosen the pressure plate bolts evenly until the pressure plate spring pressure is released, then finish removing the bolts while supporting the clutch and pressure plate assembly.

See Figures 10, 11 and 12
