Smart 451 Clutch Actuator DIY Service

Here we examine how to #remove , #service , and #reinstall a #clutch #actuator on a #smart #fortwo #451 with the 1.0L Mitsubishi engine. IT is very common for the clutch actuator to have difficulty engaging and disengaging, over time, the insides of the actuator dry out and lubrication fails, requiring excessive power to move the clutch. A common symptom of a failing actuator is when the #headlights get #dim while the clutch is shifting, as well as the #3barsofdeath and also if the car won't engage a #gear when coming out of neutral. Common #OBD #codes when this occurs are #P0805 Clutch Position Sensor Circuit, #P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction,
#P0701 Transmission Control System Range/Performance, #P0702 Transmission Control System Electrical, #P0780 Shift Malfunction, #P0810 Clutch position control error, #P0901 Clutch actuator -circuit range/performance.
