How to access, inspect and replace Clutch Disc,Clutch Fork,Pressure Plate and Release Bearing in a Nissan Pathfinder?

To access the clutch components, the transmission must be removed and the engine supported. The release bearing must be pushed towards the engine and pried from the diaphragm spring. The flywheel and pressure plate should be inspected for indexing marks and wear. Replace the pilot bushing and release, and the lining on the clutch disc should have at least 1/32 inch of lining above the rivet heads. The machined surfaces and diaphragm spring fingers should be inspected for wear. Before installation, the flywheel and pressure plate should be cleaned and the clutch disc should be centered. The pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts should be tightened in a crisscross pattern and the release bearing should be lubricated. Finally, the transmission and components should be reinstalled and tightened to the proper torque specifications.

Nissan Pathfinder Clutch Fork

The Clutch Fork in a Nissan Pathfinder converts the pressure exerted on the pedal to movement of the release bearing, which separates the engine from the gearbox. This allows for smoother gear changes. Throughout the years, the Pathfinder has primarily utilized two distinct actuation systems that interact with the Clutch Fork, hydraulic linkage and cable linkage. In the familiar hydraulic layout found on these Nissan SUVs, fluid pressure is created by the master cylinder from foot effort. A slave cylinder pushes the Clutch Fork, which slides the bearing to hit the pressure plate that is self-adjusting, keeping the pedal feel consistent. Cable systems are more direct, linking the pedal to the Clutch Fork with a steel cable that can be adjusted manually at the bell housing. The rear-drive versions from earlier times sometimes connected the pedal to a bell-crank, which was connected by a pushrod to the fork, adding extra pivot points that often tend to wear out with the passage of time. A few later Pathfinder transmissions adopted concentric slave cylinders, which place the bearing on the input shaft and delete the traditional fork altogether, a part reduction that alters service procedures. The integrity of every Nissan and every Pathfinder pursuit hinges on the Clutch Fork, which must be straight. A bent or cracked Clutch Fork causes hard shifting, noise, and potential clutch failure.
