2, 57 psi).
Pack clearance:
0.60 to 0.82 mm (0.02362 to 0.03228 in.)
If the pack clearance is not as specified, inspect the
discs, plates and flange.
2. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH
AND OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch and

a part of the groove is worn, replace all discs.
• Before installing new discs, immerse them in ATF
for at least 15 minutes.
4. INSPECT OVERDRIVE DIRECT CLUTCH DISC
(a) Check if the sliding surface of the disc, plate and
flange are worn or burnt.
If necessary, replace them.
HINT:
• If the lining of the disc comes off or discolors, or if
a part of the groove is worn, replace all discs.
• Before installing new discs, immerse them in ATF
for at least 15 minutes.
5. INSPECT OVERDRIVE CLUTCH RETURN SPRING
SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of
the spring together with the spring seat.
Standard free length:
25.91 mm (1.0201 in.)
6. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF REVERSE CLUTCH
(a) Install the intermediate shaft onto the transaxle rear
cover.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the direct clutch
pack clearance while applying and releasing
compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).
Clearance:
0.60 to 0.82 mm (0.02362 to 0.03228 in.)
If the pack clearance is less than the minimum,
parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so
check and reassemble again. If the clearance is not
as specified, select another flange.
HINT:
There are 7 flanges of different thickness.
Flange thickness: mm (in.)
