and top disc with a dial indicator. Zero the dial indi-
cator with the clutch end plate lowered, and lift it up
to the snap ring. The distance that the clutch end
plate moves is the clearance between it and the top
dtsc.
NOTE: Take measurements in at least three places'
and use the average as the actual clearance.

Tighten the locknut.
Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel the

out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
adjuster. Replace the lock pin if it does not snap
over the cable adjuster securely.
Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
A/T gear position indicator follows the A"/T gear
