Direct Clutch Assembly InspectionS7RS0B5106040
Clutch Discs, Plates and Retaining Plate
Check that sliding surfaces of discs, separator plates
and retaining plate are not worn hard or burnt. If
necessary, replace.
NOTE
• If disc lining is exfoliated, discolored, replace all discs.
• Before assembling new discs, soak them in A/T fluid for at least two hours.
Direct Clutch Return Spring Subassembly
Measure free length of direct clutch return spring.
Direct clutch return spring free length
“a”: 36.04 mm (1.419 in.)
NOTE
Do not apply excessive force when
measuring spring free length. Perform
measurement at several points.
Direct Clutch Piston
Shake direct clutch piston lightly and check that check
ball (1) is not stuck.
Blow in low pressure air (Max. 100 kPa, 1 kg/cm
2, 15 psi)
to check ball to check that there is no leakage.

16) Install new planetary ring gear subassembly (1) to reduction drive gear (3) by using special tools and
hydraulic press.
CAUTION!
• Do not reuse planetary ring gear subassembly. Otherwise it may cause
damage to planetary gear unit and/or
reduction gears.
• Do not use transaxle case as groundwork to press fit planetary ring gear
subassembly.
• Do not give load more than 20 kN (2000 kg, 4410 lb) with hydraulic press. Otherwise, it
may result in damaging reduction drive
gear bearing.
Special tool
(A): 09951–18210
(B): 09944–78210 17) Using a small torque
wrench, while turning to
counter drive gear 100 rpm and measure the
preload.
CAUTION!
• Do not tighten nut over the specifications so that reduction drive gear nut would not
be broken.
• Carry out this procedure on rubber mat in order not to damage transaxle case.
Reduction drive gear bearing preload measured
as starting torque
Standard: 0.05 – 0.35 N ⋅m (0.5 – 3.5 kg-cm, 0.036
– 0.253 lb-ft)
18) Caulk reduction drive gear nut (1).
19) Apply A/T fluid to planetary gear assembly (1), then fit it to planetary ring gear assembly.

Centering Contact Coil Cable AssemblyS7RS0B6206004
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at straight-ahead position.
2) Check that ignition swit ch is at LOCK position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light force till contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at the
maximum, that is, if it is at the center
position, can turn about two and a half turns
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
4) From the position where contact coil became unable to turn any further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise
about two and a half rotations and align center mark
with alignment mark (1).
