Standard: 21.932 — 21.953 mm {0.86347 — 0.86429 in}

• If it exceeds the specification, replace the transaxle case with a new one.

• When the transaxle case is replaced, inspect the contact surface of the intermediate shaft bushing.

• If the surface is scratched or has changed color, replace the intermediate shaft with a new one.

2. Inspect the lining of all drive plates.

• If the lining is flaking or has changed color, or if it is worn or the print mark is wearing away, replace with a new drive plate. When replacing, inspect the contact surfaces between the retaining plate, driven plate and drive plate. If they are scratched or have changed color, replace with new parts.

Note

• Before replacing with new drive plates, soak them at least 2 h in ATF.

3. Using vernier calipers, measure the free length of the piston return spring.
