2. Coat a new O-ring (1) with automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and install the O-ring to the input shaft.




3. Coat a new O-ring (1) with ATF and install the O-ring to the direct clutch piston.





Note: Do not damage the lip seal of direct clutch piston.

4. Coat the direct clutch piston with ATF, and install it to the direct clutch drum.

Caution: Refer to Compressed Air Should Not Exceed 98 kPa (14 psi) Caution (Compressed Air Should Not Exceed 98 kPa (14 psi) Caution).

12. Using a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch piston stroke while applying and releasing compressed air.

The piston stroke is 0.4-0.8 mm (0.016-0.031 in).

* If the piston stroke is less than the limit of piston stroke, parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so check and reassemble again.
* If the stroke is non-standard, select another flange.
* There are 3 flanges in different thickness.

- The number 1 flange thickness is 3 mm (0.118 in).
- The number 2 flange thickness is 3.2 mm (0.126 in).
- The number 3 flange thickness is 3.4 mm (0.134 in).
