Clutch Clearance Inspection (5-Speed A/T)




Clutch Clearance Inspection

Special Tools Required

- Clutch Compressor Attachment 07ZAE-PRP0100

1st-Hold Clutch

1. Remove the snap ring (A) with a screwdriver (B).






2. Remove the 1st clutch end-plate (A), the 1st clutch discs (B) (5), the 1st clutch wave-plates (C) (5), the disc spring (D) from the 1st clutch drum (E).






3. Measure the clearance between 1st-hold clutch plate B and the top disc using a feeler gauge (A) while pressing 1st-hold clutch plate B down. Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.





- If the clearance is beyond the service limit, replace the 1st clutch assembly.
- If the clearance is within the service limit, go to step 4.





4. Install the disc spring (A) on 1st-hold clutch plate B in the direction shown. Starting with the 1st clutch wave-plate, alternately install the clutch wave-plates (C) (5) and the clutch discs (D) (5) in the 1st clutch drum (E), then install the clutch end-plate (F) with the flat side toward the top disc.






5. Install the snap ring using a screwdriver to secure the clutch end-plate.





6. Check that the clutch piston moves by applying air pressure into the fluid passage.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Clutches

1. Set a dial indicator (A) on the clutch end-plate (B).





2. Zero the dial indicator with the clutch end-plate lifted up to the snap ring (C).

3. Release the clutch end-plate, then put the clutch compressor attachment on the end-plate (A).





4. Press the clutch compressor attachment down with 150-160 N (15.3-16.3 kgf, 33.7-36.0 lbf) (B) using a force gauge, and read the dial indicator (C).

5. The dial indicator reads the clearance (D) between the clutch end-plate and the top disc (E). Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.





- If the clearance is out of the standard, replace the clutch assembly.
- If the clearance is within the standard, the clutch is OK. The inspection is complete.
