D-Clutch Measurement
NOTE:
After the D-clutch is cleaned and assembled the endplay must be measured to verify that the correct D-clutch select reaction plate has been installed.
- Install the D-clutch snap-ring (2) in the groove in the transaxle housing.
- Using a suitable caliper (1), measure the distance from the bottom of the D-clutch snap-ring (2) to the D-clutch shoulder (3) in the transaxle housing. Record this number.
- Place the D-clutch piston/ retainer assembly (3), belleville spring (4), and clutch stack (5) on a suitable arbor press.
- Using tool (special tool #10429, Gauge, Force) (1) and (special tool #8901A, Pressing Tool) (2) (with pressure scale and legs removed), compress the D-clutch assembly to 3.2 kg/cm2
(45 psi).
- Using a suitable caliper (2), measure the thickness from the snap-ring step (1) in the D-clutch piston retainer to the underside of the D-clutch reaction plate. Record this number.
- Subtract the recorded value of step 5 from the recorded value of step 2. The difference is the amount of endplay in the D-clutch. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS .
- If the remainder from step 6 does not match the specifications, replace the D-clutch select reaction plate (2).
