2.64mm (.030 to .104 inch). If not within specifica-
tions, the clutch is not assembled properly. There is
no adjustment for the 2/4 clutch clearance.
DETERMINING NO. 4 THRUST PLATE THICKNESSÐINPUT SHAFT END PLAY
To determine the proper thickness of the No. 4 thrust
plate, select the thinnest No. 4 thrust plate. Using
petrolatum (Fig. 87) to hold thrust plate in position,
install input clutches assembly. Be sure the input
clutches assembly is completely seated (Fig. 88).
CAUTION: If view through input speed sensor hole is
not as shown above, the input clutches assembly is
not seated properly.
By removing the oil pump O-ring, you will be able to
install and remove the oil pump and gasket very easily
to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate. CAUTION: Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump
after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.
Input shaft end play must be .005 to .025 inch.
