The installation of Nissan clutch friction disc (driven disc) shall follow the core process of Cleaning & Inspection → Directional Alignment → Torque Tightening → Clearance Verification. The key requirements are correct orientation, precise centering, and diagonal staged tightening of bolts. This method applies to mainstream manual/hydraulic clutch models such as Sylphy, Tiida, Teana, and X-Trail. Below are the general standard procedures and key technical points.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and shift to neutral.
Lift the vehicle with a jack and secure it firmly with safety stands; never rely solely on a jack for operation.
Drain and collect the transmission oil. Disconnect the clutch oil pipe/slave cylinder, shift linkage, drive shafts and other components. Support the transmission with a dedicated hoist and remove it smoothly.
Essential Tools: Torque wrench, clutch centering tool (or old input shaft), brass hammer, Phillips screwdriver, socket set, fine sandpaper, degreasing cleaner.
Materials: New friction disc, pressure plate, release bearing (it is recommended to replace the clutch three-piece kit simultaneously), high-temperature molybdenum-based grease, clutch pilot bearing grease, sealant (if needed).
Verify that the friction disc part number matches the original vehicle. Check that the friction disc surface is free of oil contamination, burn marks and cracks, and the rivet depth is ≥ 0.3 mm (replace if worn beyond the limit).
Inspect that the pressure plate springs have uniform elasticity, and the pressure plate surface is free of grooves and deformation; the release bearing rotates smoothly without jamming.
Clean the flywheel surface to remove oil stains and iron filings. Minor scratches can be polished with fine sandpaper. Replace the flywheel if deep grooves or heat spots appear.
Check the input shaft pilot bearing; replace it simultaneously if there is jamming or abnormal noise during rotation.
Reversing the friction disc will directly cause clutch failure and starting jitter. Follow these principles for Nissan models:
Side with damper springs faces the transmission: The two sides of the friction disc have different structures. The side with spring dampers (thicker with protrusions) must face the transmission; the smooth side without dampers faces the flywheel.
Mark reference: Some friction discs are marked with "FLYWHEEL SIDE" or "TRANSMISSION SIDE" on the surface; attach them to the corresponding components according to the marks.
Place the friction disc gently between the flywheel and pressure plate, and align the center hole initially.
Centering is the key to successful installation. Off-center alignment will prevent the transmission from resetting or accelerate input shaft wear:
Insert a special centering tool or old input shaft into the center hole of the friction disc and flywheel to ensure coaxiality of the friction disc, pressure plate and flywheel.
Adjust the position of the pressure plate to fully align the pressure plate bolt holes with the flywheel bolt holes. The pressure plate must fit the friction disc flatly without tilting or warping.
The torque for Nissan pressure plate bolts is usually 18–25 N·m (refer to the vehicle manual for specific values, e.g., 22 N·m for manual Sylphy). Follow these operation requirements:
Tighten the bolts crosswise in 3 stages diagonally to avoid pressure plate deformation:
1st stage: Tighten all bolts to 5–8 N·m to ensure uniform fitting of the pressure plate.
2nd stage: Tighten all bolts to 12–15 N·m and recheck the flatness of the pressure plate.
3rd stage: Tighten all bolts to the specified torque value and verify accurately with a torque wrench.
After tightening, shake the centering tool gently to ensure smooth rotation without jamming; pull out the centering tool slowly and check that the friction disc has not shifted.
Release Bearing Installation: Press-fit the release bearing onto the release sleeve according to specifications. Lubricate the mating surfaces with high-temperature molybdenum-based grease. Ensure precise engagement between the release fork and bearing, and control the non-contact clearance at 2–3 mm.
Pilot Bearing Lubrication: If replacing the input shaft pilot bearing, apply a small amount of special grease to the bearing inner bore to avoid dry friction and abnormal noise.
Transmission Resetting: Support the transmission with a hoist, push it in slowly and align it with the bell housing. Tighten the bell housing bolts diagonally in stages to the specified torque (usually 45–60 N·m).
Connect the clutch oil pipe to the slave cylinder and fill with matched brake fluid (most Nissan models use DOT 3/DOT 4).
Open the slave cylinder bleeder valve and press the clutch pedal repeatedly until no air bubbles are present in the discharged fluid and the pedal feels firm.
Refill the fluid to the scale line of the reservoir after bleeding and check for no leakage in the pipeline.
The standard free travel of Nissan hydraulic clutch pedal is 15–20 mm. Excessive travel will cause incomplete disengagement, while insufficient travel may lead to friction disc burnout due to semi-engagement. Fine-tune the length of the slave cylinder push rod to ensure smooth pedaling and normal return.
Fill the transmission oil to the specified level according to the vehicle specifications (e.g., GL-4 75W-80 for manual Sylphy). Check for no leakage at the oil seals and connection points.
Start the vehicle, press the clutch pedal to shift gears without impact or jamming; release the pedal to start the vehicle smoothly without jitter.
Conduct tests including cold start, low-speed gear shifting and rapid acceleration to troubleshoot the following problems:
Abnormal Noise: Mostly caused by insufficient lubrication or improper clearance of the release bearing.
Slippage: Mostly caused by insufficient torque of pressure plate bolts, reversed friction disc or surface oil contamination.
Difficult Gear Shifting: Mostly caused by incomplete bleeding of the hydraulic system or inaccurate centering of the friction disc.
Never strike the friction disc or pressure plate directly with a steel hammer to avoid component deformation or damage to damper springs.
Never apply grease to the friction disc surface, otherwise it will cause slippage failure; only lubricate moving parts such as the release bearing and pilot bearing.
Thoroughly degrease and clean the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces before installation. Oil contamination will greatly reduce the friction coefficient and cause slippage.
It is recommended to replace the clutch three-piece kit (friction disc, pressure plate, release bearing) simultaneously to avoid wear mismatch between new and old components.
For some Nissan four-wheel drive models (e.g., manual X-Trail), pay attention to the coaxiality of the flywheel and drive shaft, and recheck the drive shaft dynamic balance after disassembly and assembly.

The two documents you previously received—Clutch Friction Disc Installation Method for Nissan and Key Precautions—are original technical summaries compiled based on the common maintenance principles of mainstream Nissan manual/hydraulic clutch models (such as Sylphy, Tiida, Teana, X-Trail, etc.), industry universal specifications, and practical pitfall-avoidance points. They do not originate from any single publicly retrievable literature or workshop manual, and thus have no corresponding DOI, URL, or ISBN.
Underlying Basis: It is built on universal safety and assembly principles (secure jacking and support, cross-pattern torque tightening, centering, bleeding), structural commonalities of common Nissan models, industry-standard recommendations for clearance, torque and lubrication, as well as key points for avoiding high-frequency faults in after-sales practical operations.
Differences from OEM Workshop Manuals: OEM manuals provide precise torque values, bleeding procedures and tool part numbers tailored to specific chassis numbers and transmission models. The content provided here is a generalized version designed for quick reference and on-site troubleshooting. For precision-critical operations, always refer to the OEM workshop manual corresponding to your vehicle model or contact an authorized service center.
No Third-Party Excerpts: No verbatim text has been quoted from any forums, websites or published materials. This is a customized and integrated hands-on operation guide.
If you can provide the specific vehicle model and chassis number (e.g., Sylphy J12, X-Trail T32), I can help you locate the corresponding chapters in the Nissan OEM workshop manual, as well as the precise torque values and bleeding procedures, facilitating cross-verification and compliant construction.
