Apply grease on a disc spline part and transaxle input shaft spline part as required.

Possible problems when not following

â€¢	When not applying: Excessive wear of splines and bad clutch operation can occur.

â€¢	When excessively applying: Grease can be scattered by centrifugal force which can contaminate the clutch disc. This can cause a loss of friction force causing a slip.

Install the clutch disc and the cover by using the SST (09411-1P000).

Gasoline 1.8 / 2.0 : 11.8 ~ 14.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.5 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.8 lb-ft)

â€¢	Loosely tighten every clutch cover bolts, then torque to specifications in a diagonal direction. This can prevent twisting, vibration of the cover, and the lifting of the pressure plate.
