Even as it was engineered to reduce the need for ser- vice, the Citation: was also engineered to improve serviceability. While the front-wheet drive configuration, with engine, transmission and axle (transaxle) up front, is new to many mechanics and car owner,. special’ efforts have been made to ease. the sevice and repair function. The removal and repair of cylinder head, oil pan, water pump, rear main seal and engine front cover are ail possible without removing the engine. The optional three-speed automatic transaxle features an integral valve body and -pump positioned behind the converter, which can be easily serviced by removing the sheet metal cover. In case engine and trans- axle have to be removed from the car, a unique-design mini- frame, which acts as a cradle for these components allows modular removal and replacement. The cradle design allows repair time comparable to current front- engine, rear-drive vehicles. The engine and transaxle are mounted on the cradle. By removing cight bolts and loosening Suspension Norm " an less service “components, the left side rail of the cradle can be swung around the suspension, providing clearance for removal of engine and transaxle. The engine may remain in the car if only the transaxle - needs repair. And on cars. with automatic transmission, it is hot necessary to split 1 the cradle to remove the engine. _In_ all cases the engine is removed conventionally upward and the transaxle is removed from the underside. The split ‘cradle design plays a significant part in _ servicing or repairing clutch and transmission, since it is not necessary to remove wheels and disconnect exhaust ball joints. Because ‘clutch repair in front-drive cars can be a fairly imposing job, the Citation’s clutch life has been extended. A constant-tension clutch -cable on manual transmission models reduces the possibility of early clutch failures due to misad- justment. This feature, along with improvements in facing material, increases the service life of the clutch. ° The new, no-lash constant- tension clutch - cable works | like this: The toothed wheel segment, or ratchet, is free to rotate independently of the clutch pedal. When the pedal is depressed, the pawl engages a tooth, puts tension on the cable and disengages the clutch. When the driver’s foot is removed from the clutch, a reverse action occurs. A spring pulls on the segment. If there is excessive slack, the spring rotates the segment, and the pawl engages the next notch. The MacPherson _ strut front suspension used in many small front-wheel drive cars due to its space-efficient design (no upper control arms) also has preventive serviceability benefits. The strut shock-dampener provides greater service life than’ conventional shock absorbers, for example.

First --disconnect' the shocks, then raise the body to take the load off the springs. Preventive serviceability of the sealed front and. rear- wheel ball bearings eliminates the once almost-routine. job _of repacking the bearings. (It was a routine service job that required’ a good ‘deal of patience and knowhow to do right, however.) . Fhe bearings are lubricated and seated for_ life. The bearings have several ad- yantages compared with tapered roller bearings: they reduce Weight, improve durability and offer less rolling friction. Moreover, the front bearings do ‘not require pre-lead adjustment. The inner race is splined to the spindle and the wheel hub retaining nut is then tightened to a specific torque. In a move that had both service and economy im- plications, Chevrolet engineers replaced the heavy tM 4 GX90 lubrication used in . most axles and manual transmissions with a con- siderably thinner flued called DEXRON II. It is used in both automatic and manual transaxles. It’s a thin fluid so it provides less friction and requires less energy in the operation of the transaxle. ~ Service interval on Chevy Citation spark plugs has been increased from 36 000 km to 48 000 km, mainly due to tefinements in carburetion, emission control © systems, and lower engine tem- peratures. And while removal of the plugs is usually viewed as a formidable task in front- drive cars with their busy underhood space, using a 17 mm universal socket wrench and a flex-head ratchet with extension, it should take no more time in a Citation than a-conventional vehicle. There-are two more spark plug service aids: - New over-sized boots with a “*grip-pad’’. - New _ ignition-wire clips made of heat-treated spring steel which split to allow the CONTINUED ON PAGE 83 Heini Marine Or.
