(8) Remove clutch pack snap ring and remove re-
tainer and clutch pack from drum (Fig. 5).
(9) Compress clutch piston return springs with tool
7538 and remove clutch piston snap ring (Fig. 6).
(10) Remove compressor tool and return spring.
(11) Remove clutch piston. Remount clutch on
overdrive support (Fig. 7). Apply compressed air
through piston feed hole in support to remove piston.
Use only enough air to ease piston out.
(12) Remove and discard clutch piston O-rings.(13) Measure clutch disc thickness. Minimum al-
lowable thickness is 1.84 mm (0.0724 in). Replace
clutch pack if necessary.
(14) Measure free length of piston return springs
with springs in retainer (Fig. 8). Length should be
21.32 mm (0.839 in.). Replace return springs if not

(15) Check clutch piston check ball (Fig. 9). Shake
piston to see if ball moves freely. Then check ball
seating by applying low pressure compressed air to
ball inlet as shown. Air should not leak past check
ball.

assembly and check assembled height (Fig. 14).
Height should be 70.3 to 71.5 mm (2.767 to 2.815
in.).
(10) If assembled height is incorrect, clutches are
not seated.
(11) If clutch height is OK, remove direct clutch
from forward clutch and proceed to forward clutch
overhaul.

lowing steps (2) through (7).
(2) Position overdrive support on wood blocks and
mount forward clutch drum on support (Fig. 2).
(3) Remove bearing and race from forward clutch
drum (Fig. 2).
(4) Mount dial indicator on clutch drum. Position
dial indicator plunger against clutch piston (Fig. 3).(5) Apply compressed air through right side feed
hole in support and note piston stroke length on dial
indicator.
(6) Stroke length should be 3.55 - 3.73 mm (0.1348
- 0.1469 in.).
(7) Replace clutch discs if stroke length is incor-
rect.
(8) Remove clutch pack snap ring and remove re-
tainer and clutch pack (Fig. 4).
(9) Remove clutch pack cushion plate (Fig. 5).
(10) Compress clutch springs with Tool 7538 and

(11) Remove spring compressor tool and piston re-
turn springs.
(12) Remount forward clutch drum on overdrive
support (Fig. 6).
(13) Apply compressed air through feed hole in
support to remove piston (Fig. 6). Use only enough
air pressure to ease piston out of drum.
(14) Remove and discard clutch piston O-rings.
(15) Remove clutch drum O-ring from rear hub of
drum.(16) Remove three seal rings from clutch drum
shaft (Fig. 8).
(17) Remove thrust bearing and race assembly
from clutch drum (Fig. 9).
(18) Measure clutch disc thickness (Fig. 10). Mini-
mum allowable thickness is 1.51 mm (0.0595 in.).
(19) Measure free length of piston return springs
with springs mounted in retainer (Fig. 11). Length
should be 19.47 mm (0.767 in.). Replace springs and
retainer if length is incorrect.

(20) Inspect clutch piston check ball (Fig. 12). Ball
should move freely within piston. Check ball seating
by applying low pressure compressed air to ball feed
hole. Ball should seat firmly and not leak air.
(21) Measure inside diameter of bushing in clutch
drum hub. Maximum allowable diameter is 24.08
mm (0.9480 in.). Replace clutch drum if bushing in-
side diameter is greater than specified.
FORWARD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
(1) Lubricate bearing and race assembly with pe-
troleum jelly and install it in clutch drum (Fig. 13).Race side of assembly faces downward and toward
drum. Bearing rollers face up (Fig. 13)
(2) Coat new clutch drum shaft seal rings with pe-
troleum jelly. Before installing drum shaft seal rings,
squeeze each ring so ring ends overlap (Fig. 14). This
tightens ring making clutch installation easier.
(3) Install seal rings on shaft. Keep rings closed as
tightly as possible during installation. Avoid over-
spreading them.
(4) Mount clutch drum on overdrive support.
(5) Lubricate and install new O-ring on clutch
drum hub (Fig. 7).

(6) Lubricate and install new O-rings on clutch pis-
ton and install piston in drum.
(7) Install piston return springs.
(8) Compress piston return springs with Tool 7538
and shop press and install piston snap ring. Be sure
snap ring end gap is not aligned with any notches in
drum.
(9) Install cushion plate in drum. Concave side of
plate faces downward (Fig. 5).
(10) Install clutch discs, plates and retainer (Fig.
15). Install tabbed plate followed by disc until re-
quired number of plates and discs are installed. Use
six plates and discs.(11) Install clutch pack snap ring.
(12) Recheck clutch piston stroke length using
same method outlined at beginning of disassembly
procedure. If stroke length is not within specified
limits, replace clutch discs.
(13) Lubricate race and bearing with petroleum jelly
and install them in clutch drum (FIg. 16). Be sure bear-
ing rollers face up and race lip seats in drum as shown.
(14) Verify bearing and race size.
²Outer diameter of bearing is 46.7 mm (1.839 in).
²Outer diameter of race is 48.9 mm (1.925 in.).
²Inner diameter of bearing and race is 26.0 mm
(1.024 in.).
(15) Mount forward clutch on direct clutch and
check assembled height (Fig. 17). Height should be
70.3 - 71.5 mm (2.767 - 2.815 in.).
