K3

K3- INPUT CLUTCH
DISASSEMBLY

Input Clutch K3 Components:





1. Remove snap-ring (1) from outer multiple-disc carrier.
2. Remove multiple-disc pack (2) and disk spring (3) from outer multiple-disc carrier. Note which clutch disc is removed just prior to the spring plate (3) for re-assembly. If the clutch discs are re-used, this disc must be returned to its original position on top of the spring plate.
3. Place Multi-use Spring Compressor 8900 (9) on disc spring (5) and compress the spring until the snap-ring (4) is exposed.
4. Remove snap-ring (4).
5. Remove spring plate (5) and piston (6) from outer multiple-disc carrier.

ASSEMBLY

Input Clutch K3 Components:





1. Install piston (6) in the outer multiple-disc carrier (8). Check sealing ring (7), replace if necessary The rounded off edges of the sealing ring must point outwards.
2. Insert disc spring (5). Insert disc spring with the curvature towards the piston.
3. Mount the Multi-use Spring Compressor 8900 (9) on the spring plate and clamp until the snap-ring groove is exposed.
4. Insert snap-ring (4). The collar of the snap-ring must point towards the multiple-disc pack.

CAUTION: When working with double sided friction discs, an externally lugged steel plate is installed first, followed by a friction disc, and continuing on until all the required discs are installed. When working with single sided friction discs, an externally lugged disc is installed first, followed by an internally lugged disc, and continuing on until all the required discs are installed. All single sided discs are installed with the friction side up.

NOTE: Pay attention to the sequence of discs. If the original clutch discs are reused, be sure to return the disc identified on disassembly as belonging on top of the spring plate (3) to its original location.

NOTE: Place new friction multiple-discs in ATF fluid for one hour before installing.

5. Install disk spring (3) and multiple-disc pack (2) in outer multiple-disc carrier (8).
6. Insert snap-ring (1).





7. Measure the K3 clutch clearance by mounting Pressing Tool 8901 (1) on outer multiple disc.
8. Using a lever press, compress pressing tool as far as the stop (then the marking ring is still visible, see small arrow).





9. For transmissions using double sided friction discs, use a feeler gauge to determine the play L at three points between the snap-ring (8) and outer multiple-disc (2).
10. During the measurement the snap-ring (8) must contact the upper bearing surface of the groove in the outer multiple-disc carrier.
11. The correct clutch clearance for transmissions with double sided friction discs is 2.3 - 2.7 mm (0.091 - 0.106 inch) for three friction disc versions, 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.095 - 0.110 inch) for four disc versions, and 2.5 - 2.9 mm (0.099 - 0.114 inch) for five disc versions.
12. Adjust with snap-ring (8), if necessary. Snap-rings are available in thicknesses of 2.0 mm (0.079 inch), 2.3 mm (0.091 inch), 2.6 mm (0.102 inch), 2.9 mm (0.114 inch), 3.2 mm (0.126 inch), and 3.5 mm (0.138 inch).





13. For transmissions using single sided friction discs, use a feeler gauge to determine the play L at three points between the snap-ring (7) and outer multiple-disc (2).
14. During the measurement the snap-ring (7) must contact the upper bearing surface of the groove in the outer multiple-disc carrier.
15. The correct clutch clearance for transmissions with single sided friction discs is 2.3 - 2.7 mm (0.091 - 0.106 inch) for six friction disc versions, 2.4 - 2.8 mm (0.095 - 0.110 inch) for eight disc versions, and 2.5 - 2.9 mm (0.099 - 0.114 inch) for ten disc versions.
16. Adjust with snap-ring (7), if necessary. Snap-rings are available in thicknesses of 2.0 mm (0.079 inch), 2.3 mm (0.091 inch), 2.6 mm (0.102 inch), 2.9 mm (0.114 inch), 3.2 mm (0.126 inch), and 3.5 mm (0.138 inch).
