1. Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the piston return spring.

2. Inspect the lining of all drive plates. (132)
^ If the lining is flaking or has changed color, or if it is worn or the print mark is wearing away, replace it with a new drive plate.
^ When replacing, inspect the contact surfaces between the retaining plate, driven plate and drive plate.
^ If they are scratched or have changed color, replace with new parts.

Note: Before replacing with new drive plates, soak them at least 2 h in ATF.
