Clutches and Flywheels

Sounds more like a thermostat or water pump. The fan clutch locks up when it is toast. Fan will wiggle a bit when the water pump is shot.

Heavy hex head has a larger bearing surface. For example a 1" heavy bolt 1-5/8" dimension across the flats. A finish hex bolt is 1-1/2". This creates a strong fastener. This is one reason many high strength structural bolts like ASTM A325 and A490 are specified a heavy hex pattern.

The head thickness is identical for both bolts.

These bolts are often found in industrial and steel connection situations. The stronger design is critical.

No. The flywheel is dependent on the transmission.

I used to do this to my Honda's It requires that you pull the front wheels. pull the tranny replace the clutch and throughout bearing. Then put it all back together It usually took me 2 days. I imagine a good mechanic can do it in about a 1/2 day. I always did it the hard way (At Home.)

This is not a question!

"What is the difference between single plate clutch and multi plate clutch?"

no, unless u have to remove the compressor unit. The clutch can be replaced with out removing the compressor if you have room to do it.

Very carefully. :) Seriously, the use of a spanner nut wrench/pin wrench is this proper way to do it. There is a tool called a pin wrench that has 2 pins that are perpendicular to the handle. The 2 pins are inserted into 2 of the 4 holes (not the bell pully bolt holes, but the 4 smaller holes that are between them) and used to hold the bell pully from rotating. Then you take the correct size wrench or LARGE adjustable wrench to turn the large nut between the fan blade and bell pully. The threads are right hand. The nut turns off in the normal direction that you would remove a nut or bolt. it takes some force. The "shade tree mechanic" way is to remove 1 of the bell pully bolts. Then find a bolt that's longer than the bell pully bolt and screw it into one of the empty hole (as far as you can) and using a pry bar jambed between the bolt and the bell pully to restrain it from turning use the wrench or LARGE adjustable wrench to unscrew the large nut. I just did this procedure while changing a head gasket on a 2000 S10 2200 engine. Good luck.

Adjusting the throw-out clutch adjustment is a snap with a small screwdriver. Gene adjusted the clutch cable tight to afford a user friendly clutch. We used the coin gauge for demonstration, then we decided to remove the derby cover (27 mm Torx screws) to adjust the clutch pushrod. We were beginning to lose Layla. She sat quietly jotting notes, but I could tell her emerald-eyed enthusiasm level waned. "You should adjust the clutch cold and the primary chain hot," Gene pointed out and Layla scribbled, "since the clutch hub grows and tightens the chain with the heat." We jumped to the primary chain inspection cover and checked the chain. Gene point out that the chain adjuster hangs in the open below the primary for easy access. "It takes a 7/8-inch open-end wrench," he said, "a 1/4 Allen and should be adjusted hot." The new Sportster manual called for 3/8 to 1/2 -inch cold and 1/4 to 3/8 inch slack while hot. The throw-out bearing held a spring and lock nut which popped into Gene's hand. It was a breeze to adjust with a small screwdriver after the cable was set free. He bottomed-out the clutch adjusting screw slightly and backed it off a quarter to a half turn (the locking nut position may force some final adjustment). Then he replaced the hex lockplate and spring, then the quad rubber ring and the derby cover. He tightened the Torx fasteners in a crossing pattern to 108-inch pounds. The cover only fit in one direction, but the toughest assignment was that damn quad gasket that constantly jumped out of its groove, until we tilted the bike slightly toward the right. "If the factory can install 'em dry," Gene spat, "why can't I?" With the cable loose we lubricated it with a fine oil. We tightened the cable using the rubber-boot covered adjuster with the coin clearance measurement in mind. "Any coin will do," Gene pointed out. I've adjusted cables for 30 years, yet Gene showed me a new trick. I looked at Layla and was certain she was slipping away. It was an acid relationship test. Occasionally when she thought we neared completion she'd reach for her deerskin gloves, only to substitute them for the notepad again. Gene didn't simply adjust the slack using the position of the lever. He pulled on the clutch cable housing as it entered the lever bracket then tightened the cable adjuster until it showed 1/16 of-an-inch space between the cable ferrule and bracket. We were finished. He coated the cadmium plated adjuster and cable end with grease to prevent damage to the rubber boot and rust from reaching the adjuster.

Without a doubt. I have tested cars to destruction and burned out a brand new clutch and gearbox in less than an hour.

Most of the mass of a flywheel is concentrated at the rim so as to have a larger moment of inertia for the same mass. This is due to the fact that the moment of inertia varies as the square of the distance from the axis of rotation.

BAD RELAY answer bad switch bad relay and most likely, bad clutch

Remove the driveshaft, remove the transmission (you'll have to disconnect the temp sensor, speed sensor, backup light switch, etc.), then you remove the pressure plate and clutch plate (don't try doing this by yourself), then you unbolt the flywheel and remove it.

yes

adjust them so there is a half inch of free travel when not applied i wouldn't go by the travel when they are applied because you have 120psi pushing them out, you could adjust them to tight

I need a diagram to connect at clucth cable from a nissan sentra 1993

4 cilinder stitf shift,

Water Transport

it turns to cool the engine it has little fins on it to draw/suck air in to cool the engine down

This has a dual mass flywheel and hydraulic system so you are unable to adjust the clutch.
