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

  A: 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.
