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






4. Install the waved spring (A) in the 2nd clutch drum (B). Starting with the clutch flat-plate, alternately install the flat-plates (C) (4) and the discs (D) (4). Install the clutch end-plate (E) with the flat side toward the top disc.






5. Install the waved spring (A) in the 4th clutch drum (B). Starting with the clutch flat-plate, alternately install the flat-plates (C) (4) and the discs (D) (4). Install the clutch end-plate (E) with the flat side toward the top disc.






6. Install the waved spring (A) in the 3rd clutch drum (B). Starting with the clutch wave-plate, alternately install the wave-plates (C) (4) and the discs (D) (4). Install the clutch end-plate (E) with the flat side toward the top disc.






7. Install the waved spring (A) in the 5th clutch drum (B). Starting with the clutch wave-plate, alternately install the wave-plates (C) (4) and the discs (D) (4). Install the clutch end-plate (E) with the flat side toward the top disc.

12. For the 1st, 3rd, and 5th clutches:
Press the clutch compressor attachment down with 150 N (15 kgf, 33 lbf) (B) using a force gauge, and read the dial indicator (C). The dial indicator reads the clearance (D) between the clutch end-plate and the top disc (E). Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.

13. For the 2nd and 4th clutches:
Press the clutch compressor attachment down with 39 N (4 kgf, 9 lbf) (B) using a force gauge, and read the dial indicator (C). The dial indicator reads the clearance (D) between the clutch end-plate and the top disc (E). Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.
