SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components will void
any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly recommend that
you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter components. We recommend that a service
manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment. These manuals are normally available at automotive dealerships
and parts stores.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install the pilot bushing into the engine crank. Note: This bushing is a made of a special material. DO NOT USE ANY
TYPE OF GREASE ON THIS PART when installing the transmission. This bushing is oil impregnated. (See illustration
on Page 3 for depth of pilot bushing information).
2. Bolt the flywheel to the engine crank using special flywheel bolts.
3. Assemble the clutch assembly and special disc to the flywheel using special clutch bolts.
4. Assemble the clutch release arm to the inside ball pivot of the bellhousing.
5. Bolt the slave cylinder to the outside of the bellhousing.
6. Test fit the bellhousing assembly over the clutch assembly and onto the engine block.
7. Place the N1430 release bearing onto the clutch arm fork.
8. Adjust the length of the slave cylinder push rod to a length that provides a minimum of 1/8" clearance between the release
bearing face and clutch fingers.
9. The test fit over the clutch assembly is primarily done to establish the push rod length. If this procedure is eliminated, you
will not have any visual inspection for verifying the push rod adjustment.
10. Remove the bellhousing assembly from the engine.
11. In each kit, you will find a new transmission bearing retainer, and seal that must be mounted in place of the original Jeep
bearing retainer.
12. Bolt the bellhousing to the front of your Jeep 5 speed transmission using the original bolts. Make sure that the two dowel
pins installed in the face of the 5 speed transmission are properly fitted to the AA bellhousing.
13. Slide the new release bearing onto the new AA bearing retainer. Make sure that there is grease in the internal cavity of the
release bearing. Most new bearings are pre-lubricated.
14. With all the components in position, you can now bolt the new bellhousing assembly onto the engine block. We have
provided six (6) new socket head bolts, 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" long for this purpose. Make sure the engine dowel pins are properly
aligned with the new bellhousing dowel pin holes.
DO NOT FORCE THE BELLHOUSING ONTO THE ENGINE
BLOCK. Some applications may require the tip of the input shaft to be modified slightly. The bellhousing must fit evenly
to the engine block.
15. With the bellhousing now in position and the slave cylinder push rod installed, you should be able to verify the clearance
between the release bearing and clutch fingers. The lever should have movement of approximately 1/8" to 1/4".
CAUTION: If you have too much clearance, you will be utilizing too much of the slave cylinder stroke and this could
possibly prevent you from obtaining a full clutch release. A light duty return spring attached to the clutch release arm
will prevent any premature contact of the release bearing with the clutch fingers.
16. The Toyota Land Cruiser slave cylinder will replace the original Jeep slave cylinder. In order to adapt the Jeep hydraulic
line to the new slave cylinder, we have included a special fitting for this purpose. P/N 716130-60 is a new stainless steel
hose that works great for the connection of the slave cylinder to the master cylinder.
17. With the new slave cylinder installed, you can now bleed the slave cylinder installation by pumping up the slave cylinder
pedal. Most installations are compatible with the original Jeep master cylinder. We have encountered a few installations
that required changing of the master cylinder to a smaller 3/4" piston. If you have any type of clutch difficulty related
to full disengagement of the clutch assembly, contact Advance Adapters for any updated information.
DUST COVER INSTALLATION:
Prior to transmission assembly, we recommend test fitting and assembling the dust cover onto the bellhousing. Two of the
4 holes have already been drilled for self tapping screws. The lower two holes will need to be drilled for 2 self tapping
screws. The drill size should be 11/64 (.171 Diameter), approximately 1/2" deep. On some applications, the new hole may
enter the slave cylinder mounting hole.
