THICKNESS REFERENCE

Selection of 2 -4 brake retaining plate (Saab 9-2X 2.5i Linear)

Place the dish plate, driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate neatly in this order on surface table.

Set the micro gauge to clutch, and read its scale.

Note. The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.

Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on plates.

Note. Use a stiff flat board which does not bend against load. Use a flat board of its weight less than 100 N (10.2 kgf, 22.5 lb).

Put the flat board on retaining plate.

Scheme 301

Scheme 301

Using the following formula, calculate "N" indicated on the push/pull gauge.

N = 100 N (10.2 kgf, 22.5 lb) - Z

N: Value indicated on push/pull gauge

100 N (10.2 kgf, 22.5 lb): Load applied to clutch plate

Z: Flat board weight

Press the center of retaining plate applying force of N with push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the height A. Make more than three measurements at even distance and take the average value.

Note. If three points, measure the height every 120°. If four points, measure the height every 90°.

Piston stroke calculation

Select the retaining plate within the specification by calculating with A and B dimensions which have been recorded before. If the calculated value exceeds the usage limit, replace the drive plate with a new one and adjust it within the specitication.

T = A + B

T: Piston stroke

A: Collapse amount of drive plate

B: Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring
