INSPECTION
Inspect plates and discs for flatness. They must not be warped or cone shaped. Inspect facing material on all driving discs. Replace discs that are charred, glazed or heavily pitted. Discs should also be replaced if they show evidence of material flaking off or if facing material can be scraped off easily. Inspect driving disc splines for wear or other damage. Inspect steel plate surfaces for burning, scoring, or damaged driving lugs. Replace if necessary.

Inspect steel plate lug grooves in clutch retainer for smooth surfaces, plates must travel freely in grooves. Inspect band contacting surface on clutch retainer for scores, the contact surface should be protected from damage during disassembly and handling. Note ball check in clutch retainer, make sure ball moves freely. Inspect piston seal surfaces in clutch retainer for nicks or deep scratches, light scratches will not interfere with sealing of seals. Inspect clutch retainer inner bore surface for wear from reaction shaft support seal rings. Inspect clutch retainer bushing for wear or scores.

Inspect inside bore of piston for score marks, if light, remove with crocus cloth. Inspect seal grooves for nicks and burrs. Inspect seals for deterioration, wear, and hardness. Inspect piston spring, retainer and snap ring for distortion.

To reassemble, reverse the above procedure.
