COMPONENTS
DIRECT CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH
(a) Place the direct clutch assembly onto the O/D support as-
sembly.
(b) Using SST and a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch
pack clearancewhile applying and releasing compressed
air (186-206 kPa, 1.9-2.1 kgf/cm
2, 27-30 psi).
SST 09350-30020 (09350-06120)
Pack clearance:
0.50 - 0.80 mm (0.0197 - 0.0315 in.)
If the values are non-standard inspect the discs.

2. REMOVE FLANGE, PLATES AND DISCS
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring from the direct
clutch drum.
(b) Remove the flange, 5 plates and 5 discs.
3. REMOVE PISTON RETURN SPRING
(a) Place SST on the spring retainer and compress the return
spring with a shop press.
SST 09350-30020 (09350-07040)
(b) Using SST, remove the snap ring.

(c) Remove the piston return spring.
4. REMOVE DIRECT CLUTCH PISTON
(a) Place the direct clutch drum onto the O/D support.
(b) Hold the direct clutch piston and apply compressed air to
the O/D support to remove the direct clutch piston.
HINT: Make sure the direct clutch piston is square in the
drum before applying compressed air.
(c) Remove the direct clutch piston.

piston.
DIRECT CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. CHECK DIRECT CLUTCH PISTON RETURN SPRING
Check the spring free length together with the spring seat.
Standard free length:
23.25 mm (0.9154 in.)
2. CHECK 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. INSPECT DISC, PLATE 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.
4. CHECK DIRECT CLUTCH BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the
clutch drum bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
53.97 mm (2.1248 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the clutch drum.
