Pre-installation Preparation
Tools and Accessories: Prepare tools such as a torque wrench, spanners, cleaning cloths, and basic grease. Confirm that the clutch pressure plate, clutch disc, and other accessories are compatible with the corresponding vehicle model. For Hino commercial vehicles, ensure the pressure plate specification matches the engine power. For Mitsubishi models (e.g., Pajero), verify the compatibility between the pressure plate and diaphragm spring.
Vehicle Preparation: Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine and allow it to cool, then disconnect the power supply. Securely support the vehicle with jacks and remove components that hinder clutch disassembly and assembly (such as the transmission). Mark the positions of parts during removal to facilitate subsequent reinstallation.
Cleaning and Inspecting Components
Cleaning Components: Thoroughly clean the flywheel surface, pressure plate mating surface, and clutch driven disc with cleaning cloths or cleaners to remove oil, metal debris, and other impurities. For Hino models, additionally clean the transmission input shaft splines and apply a thin layer of grease to the spline grooves to ensure smooth movement of the driven disc after installation.
Inspecting Components: Check if the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces are flat and free of cracks or deformation. For Mitsubishi models, inspect the diaphragm spring for uniform elasticity. For Hino commercial vehicles, focus on checking the condition of the release levers—replace them promptly if wear or deformation is detected.
Core Installation Operations
Positioning and Placement: For Mitsubishi models, face the side of the clutch driven disc with the damper plate toward the pressure plate. Use the transmission input shaft as a guide to ensure concentricity between the driven disc and pressure plate. For Hino models, insert a special mandrel into the center holes of the driven disc and flywheel, and align the assembly marks on the flywheel and pressure plate.
Securing the Pressure Plate: For Mitsubishi models (e.g., Pajero), tighten the pressure plate fixing bolts in a crisscross diagonal pattern to a torque of 25Nm, ensuring tight fit between the pressure plate and flywheel. For Hino models, after tightening the bolts, check the distance from the flywheel surface to the end face of the release lever washer (e.g., 75±0.4mm for components with specification ¢325), then rivet the release lever adjusting nut and screw at two points.
Assembling Auxiliary Components and Lubrication
Applying Grease: For Mitsubishi models, apply basic grease to the fulcrums, bearing surfaces, and release bearing. For Hino models, lubricate the release lever connecting pins and needle rollers in the pin holes with sodium-based grease, and fill the release bearing with 1/2 - 2/3 volume of sodium-based grease.
Installing Auxiliary Parts: When installing the rubber dust cover on Mitsubishi Pajero, first push in the release bearing, pre-compress the retaining ring to 18mm, then lock it with a torque of 15Nm. For Hino models, sequentially install the release sleeve, return spring, and other components to ensure smooth operation of the control mechanism.
Commissioning and Inspection
For Mitsubishi models, adjust the installation position of the clutch release fork shaft transmission arm to 195 - 205mm from the fixed cable nut bracket, and set the pedal free travel to 15 - 25mm.
For Hino models, test the completeness of clutch release. For example, when the distance from the top face of the release lever washer to the flywheel surface is pressed to 45mm for components with specification ¢325, there should be no release lag.
Finally, start the engine, test the smoothness of gear shifting, and check for abnormal noise or slipping. If any abnormalities are found, recheck the bolt torque and component installation positions.
Core Conclusion: When installing clutch pressure plates for Hino and Mitsubishi, key focuses include cleanliness, torque control, concentricity, and model-specific requirements to avoid malfunctions such as abnormal noise and slipping.
General Precautions
Component Compatibility as a Precondition: Confirm that the pressure plate and driven disc are fully compatible with the vehicle’s engine and transmission models. For Hino commercial vehicles, additionally verify that the pressure plate’s torque capacity matches the engine power.
Impurity-Free Surface Cleaning: Thoroughly remove oil and metal debris from the flywheel surface, pressure plate mating surface, driven disc, and transmission input shaft splines. Oil contamination causes clutch slipping, while metal debris easily leads to wear.
Standardized Bolt Tightening: Tighten bolts in a crisscross diagonal pattern throughout the process, strictly following the torque specifications in the vehicle manual (25Nm is common for Mitsubishi; Hino specifies torque based on specific models). This prevents pressure plate deformation.
Essential Concentric Positioning: Use the input shaft or a special mandrel for positioning to ensure concentricity between the driven disc, pressure plate, and flywheel. Lack of concentricity results in difficult gear shifting and starting jitter.
Model-Specific Precautions
Hino Commercial Vehicles: After adjusting the release levers, rivet the nuts and screws at two points to prevent loosening. Use sodium-based grease for the release bearing and needle rollers, filling 1/2 - 2/3 of the volume to avoid insufficient lubrication or grease overflow that contaminates the friction surface.
Mitsubishi Models: Inspect the diaphragm spring for uniform elasticity. After installation, adjust the pedal free travel to 15 - 25mm. Pre-compress the release bearing retaining ring to the specified dimension (e.g., 18mm for Pajero) before locking it.
Safety and Commissioning Precautions
Before installation, ensure the vehicle is powered off and securely supported. Never operate under an unfixed vehicle to avoid falling hazards.
During commissioning, first start the engine to idle and check for abnormal noise. Then test gear shifting smoothness. Only operate normally after confirming no incomplete release or slipping.
Do not strike the pressure plate or flywheel during installation. If deformation or cracks are found in components, replace them immediately—never use damaged parts.

General Maintenance Specifications for Automotive Clutch Pressure Plates: Core operations such as crisscross diagonal bolt tightening, using the input shaft or special mandrel to ensure concentricity, and cleaning component surfaces to remove oil and impurities are universal industry standards and maintenance common sense for clutch pressure plate installation. Automotive maintenance science platforms like PCauto Encyclopedia and Autohome have published installation guides explicitly mentioning these general processes, which form the basic framework of the summarized content.
