OVERDRIVE PLANETARY GEAR AND
OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. INSPECT DISC AND FLANGE
Check to see if the sliding surface of the disc, plate and
flange are worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.
HINT:
If the lining of the disc is peeling off or discolored, or
even if a part of the printed numbers are defaced, re-
place all discs.
Before assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for
at least 15 minutes.
2. CHECK OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH PISTON
(a) Check that the check ball is free by shaking the piston.
(b) Check that the valve does not leak by applying low-pres-
sure compressed air.
3. CHECK OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH RETURN
SPRING
Check the spring free length together with the spring seat.
Standard free length:
15.8 mm (0.622 in.)
4. CHECK OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM BUSH-
INGS
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the
clutch drum bushings.
Maximum inside diameter:
27.11 mm (1.0673 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the clutch drum.

5. CHECK OVERDRIVE PLANETARY GEAR BUSHINGS
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the
planetary gear bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
11.27 mm (0.4437 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the planetary gear.
6. MEASURE PLANETARY PINION GEAR THRUST
CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the planetary pinion gear
thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.2-0.6 mm (0.008-0.024 in.)
Maximum clearance:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the
planetary gear assembly.
OVERDRIVE PLANETARY GEAR,
OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH AND
OVERDRIVE ONE-WAY CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL OVERDRIVE ONE-WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install the thrust washer to the overdrive planetary gear,
the grooved side facing upward.
(b) Install the one-way clutch into the outer race the flanged
side of the one-way clutch facing upward.
(c) Install the overdrive one-way clutch with the outer race to
the overdrive planetary gear.

(d) Install the retaining plate.
(e) Using a screwdriver, install the snap ring.
2. INSTALL RING GEAR FLANGE TO OVERDRIVE
PLANETARY RING GEAR
(a) Install the ring gear flange.
(b) Using a screwdriver, install the snap ring.
3. INSTALL OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH PISTON
(a) Coat new O-rings with ATF and install them on the O/D
direct clutch piston.
(b) Being careful not to damage the O-rings, press the direct
clutch piston into the clutch drum with both hands.
4. INSTALL PISTON RETURN SPRING
(a) Install the piston return spring to the piston.

(b) Place SST on the spring retainer, and compress the re-
turn spring with a shop press.
SST 09350-30020 (09350-07040)
(c) Install the snap ring with SST. Be sure the end gap of the
snap ring is not aligned with the spring retainer claw.
SST 09350-30020 (09350-07070)
5. INSTALL PLATES, DISCS AND FLANGE
(a) Install the plates and discs.
Install in order: P = Plate D = Disc
P-D-P-D
(b) Install the flange, the flat end facing downward.
(c) Using a screwdriver, install the snap ring.
6. CHECK PISTON STROKE OF OVERDRIVE DIRECT
CLUTCH
(a) Place the oil pump onto the torque converter clutch, then
place the O/D direct clutch assembly onto the oil pump.
(b) Using SST and a dial indicator, measure the overdrive di-
rect clutch piston stroke while applying and releasing
compressed air (392-785 kPa, 4-8 kgf/cm
2 or 57-114
psi).
SST 09350-30020 (09350-06120)
Piston stroke:
1.45-1.70 mm (0.057-0.067 in.)
If the piston stroke is less than the limit, parts may have
been assembled incorrectly, so check and reassemble
