Inspection and Repair
1. Check discs.
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
discs.
Minimum thickness: 2.04 mm (0.0803 in)
If the thickness is less than the minimum, replace
the disc.

Using calipers, measure the free length of the return
spring.
Standard length: 15.8 mm (0.622 in)

3. Check OD direct clutch piston.
Check that the check ball is free by shaking the
piston. Check that the valve does not leak by
applying low-pressure compressed air.

4. Check OD direct clutch drum bushings.
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter
of the OD direct clutch drum bushings.
Maximum inside diameter: 27.11 mm (1.0673 in)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum,
replace the OD direct clutch drum.

15. Check piston stroke of OD direct clutch (C–0)
Place the oil pump onto the torque converter, and
then place the OD direct clutch assembly onto the
oil pump.
25 2L10 0005Using a dial indicator, measure the OD direct clutch
piston stroke by applying and releasing the
compressed air (390 – 780 kPa or 57 – 114 psi) as
shown.
Piston stroke: 1.85 – 2.15 mm (0.0729 – 0.0847 in)
If the piston stroke is not within specification,
replace the disc and recheck the piston stroke.
If the piston stroke is nonstandard, select another
flange.
