You can Select Your Vehicle to check if E9SZ-7B066-A fits your vehicle.

The transmission must be removed and engine supported properly to take out and evaluate clutch components. Toward the flywheel, on the pressure plate, locating marks should be looked for. Including clutch disc and pressure plate, undo the pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts. Inspect all clutch parts including pilot bearing and flywheel. If needed, replace the release bearing as well as the clutch disc. Additionally, inspect the surfaces of the pressure plate and fingers of the diaphragm spring. Finally, the clutch disc should be aligned with the flywheel and its bolts tightened to assemble it back together then reinstall the transmission then lower vehicle.

To remove the transmission and still leave the engine intact you will need to access your clutch components. If you are removing the engine for overhaul, inspect the clutch components for replacement of worn out ones. It's a good idea to replace it while doing away with either an engine or transmission. Remove the bell housing from the engine but do not take out the release cylinder and bearing. Use this tool when taking out a disk as it helps in properly lining it up. Also, index marks can be found on flywheel and plate tightly pressed against it. When loosening pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts, loosen them in crisscross manner prior taking off both of them for examination purposes. Flywheel should be looked at as well as wear on pilot bearing, and damage done to a clutch disc lining. Inspection of release bearing should also include checking for distortion in the pressure plate.

To get at clutch components, you should remove the transmission with the engine remaining in the vehicle. Never replace clutch components if they are new or in almost perfect condition when the engine or transmission is removed. Manage a clutch alignment tool as you support the engine to remove the clutch disc. Check for indexing marks on both the flywheel as well as pressure plate. Take off the pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts, the pressure plate itself, and finally, the clutch disc. In case of any component defects, have them sorted out and worn-out parts replaced. Do not forget to put in place a new pilot bearing while cleaning the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces before going ahead to adjust the pressure plate. After adjusting the position of the clutch disc against flywheel with the pressure plate bolt tightened up, reinstall the release cylinder, transmission, and finally other components including the clutch release bearing again.

If indexing marks are not found, marks should be scribed for proper alignment during installation.
