5) Remove retaining ring (1) and then remove direct clutch
input hub.
6) Remove retaining ring and then remove all clutch discs.
7) Using special tool and hydraulic press, compress forward
clutch piston return spring and remove retaining return
spring.
Special tool
(A) : 09926-98310
8) Remove forward clutch piston return spring.
9) Install forward clutch to O/D case. Blow low pressure air into
fluid hole at the right of cut in O/D case to remove forward
clutch piston.
CAUTION:
Be careful when applying pressure, for overpressure will
cause plate section of piston return spring to deform.

DIRECT CLUTCH
DISASSEMBLY
1) Install direct clutch assembly (1) to center support (2) and
with 4 – 8 kg/cm
2 air pressure applied to second fluid hole
from the left, measure stroke of direct clutch piston as shown
in figure.
If it is not within standard range, use 3.55 mm, 3.75 mm or
4.0 mm (0.140 in., 0.147 in. or 0.157 in.) clutch backing plate
to adjust it to standard stroke.
Standard direct clutch piston stroke :
0.90 – 1.30 mm (0.035 – 0.051 in.)
2) Remove direct clutch assembly from center support and
then remove retaining ring.
3) Remove clutch backing plate (1) and then remove clutch
disc (3) and clutch plate (2).
4) Using special tool and hydraulic press (1), compress direct
clutch piston return spring (3) and remove retaining return
spring ring (2).
Special tool
(A) : 09926-98310
5) Remove direct clutch piston return spring.
CAUTION:
Be careful when applying pressure, for overpressure will
cause plate section of piston return spring to deform.

6) Install direct clutch cylinder to center support.
Remove direct clutch piston by blowing air into the second
hole from the left as shown in the figure. Also, remove direct
clutch inner piston by blowing air into hole at the extreme
right. And then remove O-rings from pistons.
