NOTE: Lubricate the piston O-ring with ATF before installing.

CAUTION: Do not pinch the O-ring by installing the piston with too much force.

5. Install the special tools as shown.

10. Soak the clutch discs thoroughly in ATF for a minimum of 30 minutes.





11. Starting with a clutch plate, alternately install the clutch plates and discs. Install the clutch end plate with flat side toward the disc.

NOTE: Before installing the plates and discs, make sure the inside of the clutch drum is free of dirt or other foreign matter.





12. Install the snap ring.





13. Measure the clearance between the clutch end plate and top disc with a dial indicator. Zero the dial indicator with the clutch end plate lowered and lift it up to the snap ring. The distance that the clutch end plate moves is the clearance between the clutch end plate and top disc.

NOTE: Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.








14. If the clearance is not within the service limits, select a new clutch end plate from the following table.

NOTE: If the thickest clutch end plate is installed, but the clearance is still over the standard, replace the clutch discs and clutch plates.
