INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH
Place the direct clutch assembly onto the O/D support assembly.
Using SST and a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (186 to 206 kPa, 1.9 to 2.1 kgf/cm2, 27 to 30 psi).
| Pack Clearance |
|---|
| 0.40 to 0.70 mm (0.016 to 0.028 in.) |
If the pack clearance is outside the standard inspect the discs.
REMOVE DIRECT CLUTCH FLANGE
Using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring from the direct clutch drum.
Remove the flange, the 4 plates and the 4 discs.
INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH FLANGE
Check to see if the sliding surface of the disc, the plate and the flange are worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.
Tech Tips
If the lining of the disc is peeled off or discolored, or even if only a part of the printed numbers is corroded, replace all discs.
Before assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for at least 15 minutes.
REMOVE DIRECT CLUTCH RETURN SPRING SUB-ASSEMBLY
Place SST on the piston return spring and compress.
Using SST, remove the snap ring.
Remove the return spring.
INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH RETURN SPRING SUB-ASSEMBLY
Measure the free length of the spring together with the spring seat.
| Standard free length |
|---|
| 21.32 mm (0.839 in.) |
REMOVE DIRECT CLUTCH RETURN SPRING SUB-ASSEMBLY
Place the direct clutch drum onto the O/D support.
Hold the direct clutch piston, and apply compressed air (196 kPa, 2.0 kgf/cm2, 28.5 psi) to the O/D support to remove the direct clutch piston.
Tech Tips
Make sure the direct clutch piston is at a right angle to the drum before applying compressed air.
Using a small screwdriver, remove the 2 O-rings from the piston.
INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH PISTON SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check that the check ball is free by shaking the piston.
Check that the valve does not have leaks by applying low-pressure compressed air.
INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM SUB-ASSEMBLY
Using a deal indicator, measure the inside diameter of the clutch drum bushing.
| Maximum inside diameter |
|---|
| 53.97 mm (2.1248 in.) |
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the clutch drum.
