INSPECTION
1. INSPECT MULTIPLE DISC CLUTCH HUB
(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter
of the forward clutch hub bushing.

23.03 to 23.05 mm (0.9067 to 0.9075 in.)
Maximum inside diameter:
23.09 mm (0.9091 in.)
NOTICE:
Check the contact surface of the bushing in the

discoloration is found, replace the direct clutch
sub-assembly with a new one.
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum,
replace the forward clutch hub with a new one.
2. INSPECT NO. 2 UNDERDRIVE CLUTCH DISC
(a) Check if the sliding surfaces of the disc, plate and
flange are worn or burnt.
If necessary, replace them.
NOTICE:
• If the lining of the disc comes off or is
discolored, or if a part of the groove is worn,
replace the all discs.
• Before installing new discs, immerse them in
ATF for at least 15 minutes.
3. INSPECT OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM SUB-
ASSEMBLY
