TRANSMISSION K REARCLUTCH Preparation SST Preinspection Rear clutch operation 1, Install the rear clutch onto the drum support along with the seal rings. Apply compressed air through the oil pas- sage as shown. i/' Air pressure: 392 kPa {4.0 kg/cm2,57 psi} max. 2. Verify that the retaining plate moves toward the snap ring. If not, the seal ring or O-ring may be damaged or fluid may be leaking at the piston check ball. Inspect them, and replace when assembling. 49 0378 375 Compressor, clutch spring Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring Measure the clearance between the retaining plate and the snap ring. For removal / installation of rear clutch Clearance: 0.8-1.0mm (0.0324.039 in) Adjust the clearance by installing the correct retaining plate. Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION LOW AND REVERSE BRAKE Preparation SST Preinspection Low and reverse brake operation 1. Apply compressed air through the oil passage as shown. 49 0378 346 Hex head wrench Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kglcm2, 57 psi) max. For removal I installation of one-way clutch 2. Verify that the retaining plate moves toward the snap ring. If not, the seal ring or O-ring may be damaged or fluid may be leaking at the piston check ball. Inspect them, and replace as necessary when assembling. Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring 1. Measure the clearance between the retaining plate and the snap ring. Clearance: 0.8-1.05mm (0.032--0.041 in) i/ 2. Select and install the correct retaining plate when as- sembling. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K VACUUM DIAGRAM VACUUM THROTTLE VALVE I On-vehicle Installation 1. Apply ATF to a new O-ring, and install it onto the vacuum diaphragm. 2. Apply ATF to a new O-ring ,and install it into the transmis- sion case. 3. Apply ATF to the vacuum diaphragm rod and vacuum di- aphragm, and install them into the transmission case. Tightening torque: 7.9--10.7 N-m (80-11 0 kgfscm, 70-95.4 inslbf) 4. Connect the vacuum hose. 5. Install the exhaust pipe. (Refer to page K-148.) 6. Add approximately 1.0 L (1.1 US qt, 0.9 Imp qt) ATF, and check the ATF level. (Refer to page K-35.) 7. Warm up the ATF to normal operating temperature (50--80°C, 122-176OF), then check for the following: (1) Fluid leakage (2) Vacuum leakage On-vehicle Adjustment 1. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, vacuum diaphragm rod, and O-rings from the transmission case. (Refer to On-vehicle Removal, page K-130.) 2. Measure dimension N indicated in the figure by using the SST and a scale. 3. Select the proper diaphragm rod from the table.
