Forward and Direct Clutch Inspection

Forward and Direct Clutch Inspection

1. Check that sliding surfaces of friction, separator and retaining plates are not worn or burnt. If necessary, replace.

NOTE:
^ If friction plate lining is exfoliated, discolored or worn hardly, replace all friction plates.
^ Before assembling new friction plates, soak them in A/T fluid for at least two hours.





2. Measure height of direct clutch piston return spring.
Forward clutch return spring height
Standard: 23.59 mm (0.93 in.)

NOTE: Do not apply excessive force when measuring spring height. Perform measurement at several points.





3. Check that ball makes creaking noise when shaking forward clutch piston and direct clutch piston. (i.e., check that ball is free.)
4. Check that there is no leakage from backside of oil hole (1) by applying low pressure air.
