DIRECT CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. INSPECT CLUTCH PISTON
(a) Check that the check ball is free by shaking the piston.
(b) Check that the valve does not leak by applying lowpres-
sure compressed air.
2. INSPECT DISCS, PLATES AND FLANGE
Check if the sliding surfaces of the discs, plates and
flange are worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.
HINT:
If the lining of the disc is peeling off or discolored, or
even if a part of the printed numbers are defaced, re-
place all discs.
Before assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for
at least 15 minutes.
3. CHECK DIRECT CLUTCH BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the
direct clutch bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
47.07 mm (1.8531 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the direct clutch.
DIRECT CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL CLUTCH PISTON IN DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM
(a) Install new O±rings to the piston. Coat the O±rings with
AT F.
(b) Being careful not to damage the O±rings, press the piston
into the drum with the cup side up.
2. INSTALL PISTON RETURN SPRING
(a) Place the return spring and snap ring onto the piston.
(b) Place SST on the spring retainer, and compress the re-
turn spring with a shop press.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32070)
(c) Install the snap ring with the snap ring pliers. Be sure the
end gap of snap ring is not aligned with the spring retainer
claw.

5. RECHECK PISTON STROKE OF DIRECT CLUTCH
(a) Install the direct clutch on the oil pump.
(b) Set a dial indicator and measuring terminal (SST) togeth-
er, measure the direct clutch piston stroke while applying
and releasing compressed air (392 ± 785 kPa, 4 ± 8 kgf/
cm
2, 57 ± 114 psi).
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32190)
Piston stroke:
1.11 ± 1.44 mm (0.0437 ± 0.0567 in.)
If the piston stroke is non±standard, select another
flange.
HINT: There are 2 different flange thickness.
Flange thickness:
2.60 mm (0.1024 in.)
3.00 mm (0.1181 in.)

er, measure the forward clutch piston stroke while apply-
ing and releasing compressed air (392 ± 785 kPa, 4 ± 8
kgf/cm
2, 57 ± 114 psi).
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32190)
