626 ES V6-2.5L DOHC (1997)
Pressure Plate: Testing and Inspection
1. Measure the wear of the diaphragm spring fingers. Depth should be 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) maximum.
2. Measure the flatness of the pressure plate surface by using a straightedge and a feeler gauge as shown in the illustration. Maximum clearance is 0.50
mm (0.020 inch).
NOTE: The engine is made of aluminum, so the magnet will not hold the dial indicator to the engine block. Therefore, use the Special Service Tool
(SST) to hold the dial indicator when checking the runout of the diaphragm spring fingers.
3. Rotate the flywheel and check for misaligned diaphragm spring fingers. Misalignment is 0.600 mm (0.0236 inch) maximum.
4. Replace the clutch cover if not as specified.
