A245E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE: DIRECT CLUTCH: INSPECTION

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH





(a) Install the direct clutch on the oil pump.





(b) Set a dial indicator and measuring terminal (SST) together, and measure the direct clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (392 - 785 kPa, 4 - 8 kgf/cm2, 57 - 114 psi).
SST: 09350-32014
09351-32190
Pack clearance:
0.49 to 0.89 mm (0.0192 to 0.0350 in.)
If the pack clearance is greater than the maximum, inspect each component.
2. INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH PISTON SUB-ASSEMBLY





(a) Check that the check ball is free by shaking the direct clutch piston sub-assembly.
(b) Check that the valve does not leak by applying low-pressure compressed air.
3. INSPECT DIRECT MULTIPLE DISC CLUTCH DISC





(a) Check if the sliding surfaces of the discs, plates and flanges are worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.

- If the lining of the disc is peeling off or discolored, or even if a part of the printed number is defaced, replace all discs.
- Before assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for at least 15 minutes.

4. INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM SUB-ASSEMBLY





(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the direct clutch drum sub-assembly bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
48.27 mm (1.9004 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the direct clutch drum sub-assembly.
