DIRECT CLUTCH
COMPONENTS
DIRECT CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
1. CHECK PISTON STROKE OF DIRECT CLUTCH
(a) Install the direct clutch on the oil pump.
(b) Install a dial indicator and measuring terminal (SST) to-
gether, measure the direct clutch piston stroke while ap-
plying and releasing compressed air (392±785 kPa, 4±8
kg/cm
2, 57±114 psi).
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32190)
Piston stroke:
0.91±1.35 mm (0.0358±0.0531 in.)
If the piston stroke is greater than the maximum, inspect
each component.

(b) Place SST on the spring retainer, and compress the re-
turn spring with a press.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32070)
(c) Install the snap ring using snap ring pliers. Be sure the
end gap of snap ring is aligned with the spring retainer
claw.
3. INSTALL PLATES, DISCS AND FLANGE
(a) Install plates and discs.
Install in order:
P=Plate D=Disc
P±D±P±D±P±D
(b) Install the flange with the flat end facing downward.
4. INSTALL SNAP RING
Check that the end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with
one of the cutouts.
5. RECHECK PISTON STROKE OF DIRECT CLUTCH
(a) Install the direct clutch on the oil pump.
(b) Install a dial indicator and measuring terminal (SST) to-
gether, measure the direct clutch piston stroke while ap-
plying and releasing compressed air (392±785 kPa, 4±8
kgf/cm
2, 57±114 psi).
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32190)
Piston stroke:
0.91±1.35 mm (0.0358±0.0531 in.)
If the piston stroke is non±standard, select another
flange.
HINT: There are 2 different thickness for the flange.
Flange thickness:
2.70 mm (0.1063 in.)
3.00 mm (0.1181 in.)

(b) Remove the 2 O±rings from the piston.
6. IF NECESSARY, REMOVE OIL SEAL RINGS
Remove the 3 oil seal rings from the shaft.
FORWARD CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. INSPECT 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.
2. INSPECT DISCS, PLATES AND FLANGE
Check if the sliding surfaces of the discs, plates 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.
FORWARD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL OIL SEAL RINGS
Install the 3 oil seal rings to the shaft.
NOTICE: Do not spread the ring ends more than necessary.
HINT: After installing the oil seal rings, check that they
move smoothly.

2. REMOVE OIL SEAL RINGS
OVERDRIVE CASE ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL OIL SEAL RINGS ON OVERDRIVE CASE
Install the 2 oil seal rings to the overdrive case groove,
then snug them down by squeezing their ends together.
HINT: After installing the oil seal rings, check that they
move smoothly.
2. INSTALL C0 ACCUMULATOR PISTON TO OVER-
DRIVE CASE
(a) Install a new O±ring to the accumulator piston.
(b) Coat the O±ring with ATF.
(c) Install the accumulator piston, 2 springs and retaining
plate.
(d) Using snap ring pliers, install the snap ring.
