(15) Install input clutch assembly to the Input
Clutch Pressure Fixture±Tool 8391 (Fig. 261).
(16) Set up dial indicator on the UD clutch pack as
shown in (Fig. 262).(17) Using moderate pressure, press down and
hold (near indicator) the UD clutch pack with screw-
driver or suitable tool and zero dial indicator (Fig.
263). When releasing pressure on clutch pack, indica-
tor reading should advance 0.005±0.010.
CAUTION: Do not apply more than 30 psi (206 kPa)
to the underdrive clutch pack.
(18) Apply 30 psi (206 kPa) to the underdrive hose
on Tool 8391 and measure UD clutch clearance. Mea-
sure and record UD clutch pack measurement in four
(4) places, 90É apart.
(19) Take average of four measurements and com-
pare with UD clutch pack clearance specification.
Underdrive clutch pack clearance must be 0.94-
1.50 mm (0.037-0.059 in.).
(20) If necessary, select the proper reaction plate
to achieve specifications:
UNDERDRIVE REACTION PLATE THICKNESS
4659939AB 5.837-5.937 mm (0.230-0.234 in.)
4659940AB 6.147-6.248 mm (0.242-0.246 in.)
