ONE-WAY CLUTCH INSPECTION

CAUTION: Do not disassemble the one-way clutch. If it has been disassembled, replace the one-way clutch with a new one.

2. Secure the outer plate of the one-way clutch by hand.

A : Secure by hand






3. Rotate the inner plate of the one-way clutch by hand and verify that it rotates counterclockwise and locks, and does not rotate clockwise.

CAUTION:
- When the inner plate of the one-way clutch is rotated, a ratchet sound occurs because it is a mechanical diode-type one-way clutch, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
- If there is a malfunction, replace the one-way clutch with a new one.
