Special Tools Required

- Clutch Spring Compressor Set 07LAE-PX40000

NOTE: Coat all parts with ATF during reassembly.

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

2. Install a new O-ring (A) on the clutch piston (B), and install a new O-ring (C) on the clutch drum (D).






3. Coat the piston O-ring with ATF, and install the clutch piston (A) in the clutch drum (B) while applying pressure and rotating to ensure proper seating. Do not pinch the O-ring.






4. Install the return spring (A), and install the spring retainer (B) adjusted (center of tolerance) to prevent damaging the retainer oil seal.





5. Position the snap ring (C) on the spring retainer.

6. Install the clutch spring compressor set.






7. Set the clutch spring compressor attachment (A) on the spring retainer (B), and over the clutch return spring end, so the clutch spring compressor attachment works on the clutch return spring (C).





8. Check the placement of the clutch spring compressor attachment. If either end of the clutch spring compressor attachment is not set over the clutch return spring end, the spring retainer may be damaged.

9. Coat the mating areas of the spring retainer oil seal and the clutch piston with ATF. Compress the return spring (A) carefully until the snap ring (B) can be installed, and install the spring retainer (C) to ensure proper seating in the clutch piston, and over the clutch hub (D). Do not pinch the spring retainer oil seal.






10. Install the snap ring with the snap ring pliers.





11. Remove the clutch spring compressor set.

12. Check that the spring retainer oil seal (A) is properly seated in the clutch piston (B).





13. If improperly seated, remove the spring retainer, and check the oil seal. If the oil seal is worn, damaged, or peeling, replace the spring retainer, and reinstall the new retainer in the clutch piston.

14. Install the wave spring (A) in the 1st clutch drum (B). Starting with the clutch wave-plate, alternately install the wave-plates (C) (6) and discs (D) (6). Install the clutch end-plate (E) with the flat side down on the top disc.






15. Install the snap ring with a screwdriver to secure the clutch end-plate.





16. Check that the clutch piston moves by applying air pressure into the fluid passage.
