REAR CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

DISASSEMBLY





1. Remove the snap ring and thrust race.
2. Remove the input shaft from the rear clutch retainer.

6. Using a screwdriver, remove the wave spring.
7. Remove the return spring and piston.
8. Remove the two D-section rings from the piston.

ASSEMBLY





1. Install the D-section rings in the grooves in the outside and inside surfaces of the piston.
2. After applying automatic transaxle fluid to the outside surface of the D-section rings, push the piston into the rear clutch retainer by hand.
3. Install the return spring on the piston.
4. Compress the return spring with the snap ring, by pushing down with a screwdriver and setting the snap ring in its groove.





5. Install clutch pressure plate, two clutch discs, clutch plate and clutch reaction plate into the rear clutch retainer.
When the reaction plate, clutch plate and clutch disc are removed, reinstall them by reversing the order of disassembly. Prior to installing, apply automatic transaxle fluid to the plates and discs.





Caution:
1. When new clutch discs are used, immerse them in automatic transaxle fluid for a minimum of two hours prior to installation
2. The four splines of disc are deleted to discriminate the rear clutch disc from front clutch disc.
3. If the lining of the disc is peeling off, replace all discs.
4. As you know, the color of current clutch disc turns to black when burnt. When the new clutch disc is immersed in ATF for two hours, its color also turns to disc is normal or has been burnt. Therefore, care should be taken not to confuse or misuse the burnt clutch disc of current type and new type clutch discs immersed in ATF.
5. The burnt clutch disc of new type should be identified by looking at the height difference of protruded section and base section.





6. Install the snap ring. Check to see that the clearance between the snap ring and clutch reaction plate is 0.3 - 0.5 mm (0.0118 - 0.0197 inch). To check clearance, hold the entire circumference of the clutch reaction plate down with 50 N (11 lbs.) force. If clearance is out of specification, adjust by selecting the proper snap ring. Snap rings are the same as those used for the front clutch.
7. Insert the input shaft into the clutch retainer.





8. Install the thrust race, and snap ring.
9. Install the three seal rings to the grooves in the input shaft.
