6. Place the front side of transmission body up.
7. Install the thrust needle bearing.
8. Place the dish plate, driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate neatly in this order on surface table.
9. Set the micro gauge to clutch, and read its scale.

NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.

10. Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on retaining plate.

NOTE:
^ Use a stiff board which does not bend against load as a flat board to be put on retaining plate.
^ Use a flat board of its weight less than 83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb).

11. Put the flat board on retaining plate.





12. Using the following formula, read the push/pull gage, and calculate "N".
N = 83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb) - Z
N: Value indicated on push/pull gauge
83 N (8.5 kgf, 18.7 lb) : Load applied to clutch plate
Z: Flat board weight
13. Press the center of retaining plate by applying a force of N using push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the height A. Measure at three locations or more spaced by equal distances and take the average value.

NOTE: If measuring in three locations, measure every 120°. If in four locations, measure every 90°.





14. Installation of the low & reverse brake:
Install the dish plate, driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate, and then secure them with a snap ring.

NOTE: Pay attention to the orientation of the dish plate.





15. Apply compressed air intermittently to check for operation.





16. Measure the clearance.
1. Place same thickness shims on both sides to prevent plate from tilting, then measure and record the clearance B.





2. Piston stroke calculation
Calculate with A and B dimensions recorded before. If the calculated value exceeds the service limit, replace the drive plate with a new one and select and adjust the retaining plate to be within the default specification values.
T = A + B
T: Piston stroke
A: Amount of drive plate compression
B: Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring
Turbo model
Initial standard. 2.7 - 3.2 mm (0.106 - 0.126 inch)
Limit thickness: 3.9 mm (0.153 inch)
Non-turbo model
Initial standard. 2.15 - 2.65 mm (0.085 - 0.104 inch)
Limit thickness: 2.95 mm (0.116 inch)





17. Install the leaf spring of the low & reverse brake.





18. Install the 2-4 brake piston and 2-4 brake retainer by aligning the hole of the 2-4 brake retainer with the hole on the transmission case.





19. Install 2-4 brake piston spring retainer to the transmission case.





20. Position the snap ring in the transmission. Using ST, press the snap ring into the specified location.

ST 498677100 COMPRESSOR:





21. Install the planetary gear and low clutch assembly to the transmission case.

CAUTION: Install carefully while rotating the low clutch and planetary gear assembly slowly, paying special attention not to damage the seal ring.





22. Measure the amount of drive plate compression and record that value. (Non-turbo model)
1. Place the dish plate, driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate neatly in this order on surface table.
2. Set the micro gauge to clutch, and read its scale.

NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.

3. Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on retaining plate.

NOTE:
^ Use a stiff board which does not bend against load as a flat board to be put on retaining plate.
^ Use a flat board of its weight less than 100 N (10.2 kgf, 22.5 lb).

4. Put the flat board on retaining plate.





5. Using the following formula, read the push/ pull gage, and calculate "N".
N = 100 N (10.2 kgf, 22.5 lbs.) - Z
N: Value indicated on push/pull gauge
100 N (10.2 kgf, 22.5 lb) : Load applied to clutch plate
Z: Flat board weight
6. Press the center of retaining plate by applying a force of N using push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the height A. Measure at three locations or more spaced by equal distances and take the average value.

NOTE: If measuring in three locations, measure every 120°. If measuring in four locations, measure every 90°.

26. Check the piston stroke. (Non-turbo model)
1. Measure the clearance B between the retaining plate and snap ring.





2. Piston stroke calculation Calculate with A and B dimensions recorded before. If the service limits from the calculation formula are exceeded, replace the drive plate and select and adjust the retaining plate to be with in standard values.
T = A + B
T: Piston stroke
A: Amount of drive plate compression
B: Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring
Initial standard. 1.7 - 2.1 mm (0.067 - 0.083 inch)
Limit thickness: 2.3 mm (0.091 inch)
