TRANSMISSION K 2. Apply ATF to the spring and install it into the fourth gear case. 3. Apply ATF to the accumulator piston. 4. Apply even pressure to the perimeter of the piston, and install it into the fourth gear case. 5. Verify that the piston can be turned by hand. If it cannot, then remove it and check for damage to the seal ring. 6. Apply ATF to a new O-ring, and install it on the accumula- tor plug. 7. Install the accumulator plug and snap ring. Caution Applying compressed air to the assembled clutch pack for longer than 3 seconds at a time will dam- age the seal. 8. Check the accumulator operation by applying com- pressed air through the oil passage. Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. 9. Apply ATF to the plug, and install it into the drum support. 10. Tap in a new roll pin. 11. Set the oil pump onto the SST. 12. Apply ATF to a new seal ring, and install it onto the drum support.

K TRANSMISSION FRONT CLUTCH Preparation SST Preinspection Front clutch operation 1. Install the front clutch onto the drum support along with the seal rings. Apply compressed air through the oil pas- sage as shown. 49 0378 375 Compressor, clutch spring Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kglcm*, 57 psi} max. For removal / installation of front 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 when assembling. Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring Measure the clearance between the retaining plate and the snap ring. Clearance: 0.9--1 .l mm (0.036-0.043 in} .--- Select and install the correct retaining plate when as- sembling. Gartner Banana
