DIRECT CLUTCH INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF REVERSE CLUTCH


    1. A017E2QE02

      Install the intermediate shaft and needle roller bearing onto the transaxle rear cover.

    2. Using a dial indicator, measure the reverse clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).

      Pack clearance
      0.60 to 0.82 mm (0.0236 to 0.0323 in.)

      If the pack clearance is not as specified, inspect the discs, plates, and flange.

  2. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH AND OVERDRIVE CLUTCH


    1. A017DQLE01

      Using a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch and overdrive clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).

      Pack clearance
      0.61 to 0.83 mm (0.0240 to 0.0327 in.)

      If the pack clearance is not as specified, inspect the discs, plates, and flange.

  3. INSPECT DIRECT MULTIPLE CLUTCH DISC


    1. A017DU5

      Check if the sliding surfaces of the disc, plate, and flange are worn or burnt.

      If necessary, replace them.

      Tech Tips


      • If the lining of the disc comes off or discolors, or if a part of the groove is worn, replace all discs.

      • Before installing new discs, immerse them in ATF for at least 15 minutes.

  4. INSPECT OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH DISC


    1. A017CDP

      Check if the sliding surface of the disc, plate, and flange are worn or burnt.

      If necessary, replace them.

      Tech Tips


      • If the lining of the disc comes off or discolors, or if a part of the groove is worn, replace all discs.

      • Before installing new discs, immerse them in ATF for at least 15 minutes.

  5. INSPECT OVERDRIVE CLUTCH RETURN SPRING SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A017CL1E04

      Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the spring together with the spring seat.

      Standard free length
      25.91 mm (1.0201 in.)

      If the result is not as specified, replace the spring.

  6. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF REVERSE CLUTCH


    1. A017E2QE02

      Install the intermediate shaft onto the transaxle rear cover.

    2. Using a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).

      Clearance
      0.60 to 0.82 mm (0.0236 to 0.0323 in.)

      If the pack clearance is less than the minimum, parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so check and reassemble again. If the clearance is not as specified, select another flange.

      Tech Tips

      There are 7 different thicknesses of flanges available.

      Flange thickness: mm (in.)
      No. Thickness No. Thickness
      1 3.0 (0.118) 5 3.4 (0.134)
      2 3.1 (0.122) 6 3.5 (0.138)
      3 3.2 (0.126) 7 3.6 (0.142)
      4 3.3 (0.130) - -

  7. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH AND OVERDRIVE CLUTCH


    1. Using a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch and overdrive clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).

      Clearance
      0.61 to 0.83 mm (0.0240 to 0.0323 in.)

      If the pack clearance is less than the minimum, parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so check and reassemble again. If the clearance is not as specified, select another flange.

      Tech Tips

      There are 7 different thicknesses of flanges available.

      Flange thickness: mm (in.)
      No. Thickness No. Thickness
      0 2.5 (0.098) 4 2.9 (0.114)
      1 2.6 (0.102) 5 3.0 (0.118)
      2 2.7 (0.106) 6 3.1 (0.122)
      3 2.8 (0.110) - -
    2. A017DQM

      Check that the disc rotates when rotating the disc after inserting the rear planetary sun gear.

      Note

      Do not place the rear planetary sun gear in a vise.

      If the result is not as specified, replace the rear planetary sun gear.
