Forward & Direct Clutch
Reassembly1. Position direct clutch assembly with clutch plate end up, then align direct clutch composition-faced clutch plate teeth one above the other to make forward clutch assembly installation easier.

When properly seated the forward clutch will be about 5/8 inch from the tang end of the direct clutch housing to the end of the forward clutch drum.
