INSPECTION
1. INSPECT MULTIPLE DISC CLUTCH HUB
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter
of the forward clutch hub bushing
Standard inside diameter:
23.025 to 23.046 mm (0.9065 to 0.9073 in.)
Maximum inside diameter:
23.09 mm (0.9091 in.)
NOTICE:
Check the contact surface of the bushing in the
direct clutch shaft. If any scratch or
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 UNDERDRIVE CLUTCH DISC NO.2
