Installing Rodeo transmission/clutch Sign In

Finally got the trannie out of the 96 Isuzu Rodeo, 4cyl. You must unlock the bearing retainer.

The bearing retainer is again the problem. With the clutch centered and the pressure plate on, the retaining ring for the bearing is still loose. I know when I slide the transmission into place, it will be knocked off the pressure plate spring and won't be lined up to lock with the bearing. What am I doing wrong?

I got the clutch from Napa. There supplier won't provide tech support to non-professional mechanics.

Re: Installing Rodeo transmission/clutch Sign In

Can the fork be installed after the transmission?

OK, I looked at this setup and it is designed to be attached to the fork and slid over the trans shaft collar and once the trans is in, it can be pushed into the pressure plate and it will snap in and lock in the pressure plate unless you have already stretched it out to make it too loose.

New clutch and pressure plate, so nothing is stretched out. I thought once I tightened the pressure plate down, it would hold the retaining ring in place. That is not the case. The pressure plate is torqued down. The clutch is tight. The retaining ring is loose. If I were to push the bearing forward to lock it, it would knock the retaining ring off. I can barely get the fork (actually it is a bar that goes across to a pivot) on the pivot with the trannie out. I have no idea how you would do it with the transmission installed, not to mention the access hole is against the body.

Re: Installing Rodeo transmission/clutch Sign In

Here are the official instructions from the service manual.



  • Install the transmission to the engine. Tighten the transmission nuts and bolts.



  • Apply a force of 59 - 78 N (13.2 - 17.6 lb) to the tip of the shift fork in the direction of the transmission to engage the clutch pressure plate and release bearing.
NOTE:
A click sound is heard when the release bearing and the tip of the diaphragm spring engage each other.
Check to see if they are securely engaged by pushing the tip of the shift fork toward the engine side while applying a force of about 25 N (5.5 lb) . If the shift fork will not move, then they are securely engaged.

Not quite the same. My shift fork spans all the way across the bell housing and picots on a ball opposite where the rod pushes the fork. Also, on the picture you show, I think that retainer sort of is in the splines of the pressure plate. Mine is a ring that sits on the clutch side of the pressure plate.

That is a picture and instructions for your vehicle.
