1. Rectangular rings Checking for wear
3. Cylinder "E"
^ Checking contact surfaces of shaft and brass sleeve for wear
^ Checking welding seam between shaft and cylinder
^ Checking splines

7. Dished washer
^ Replace in case of signs of wear or if dished washer tips are bent

12. Outer plates
^ Checking for wear

13. Coated plates
^ Checking for wear





Checking rectangular rings for wear

Note:
^ Always replace rectangular rings. However, conclusions can be drawn from the signs of wear of the rectangular rings regarding the quality of contact surface for rectangular rings. Evaluating the rectangular rings for wear is therefore essential.

If rectangular rings show strong axial wear - arrow 1 - (slight wear of outer edges is normal):
^ Replace cylinder "E".

If rectangular rings show strong radial wear of more than 0.3 mm - arrow 2 - (for comparison, measure thickness of new rectangular ring):
^ Replace stator shaft.

Note:
^ If rectangular rings are worn, converter clutch is possibly worn out because contact pressure is too low.





Checking contact surfaces of shaft cylinder "E" and brass sleeve for wear
^ Check contact surfaces of brass sleeve - arrow 2 - at inside of shaft and contact surfaces at outer circumference - arrows 1 - for wear.
^ Contact surfaces must not be heavily scored and/or show blue discoloration.
^ Replace cylinder "E" if necessary.

If no blue discoloration and only small grooves are detected, proceed as follows:
^ Sandpaper (600 grit, oiled) contact surface 1 to 2 times.
^ Carefully wipe off with a clean rag and check contact surface.
^ Contact surfaces must now be like new.

If scores cannot be removed in this manner:
^ Replace cylinder "E".





Checking welding seam between shaft and cylinder
^ Check seal of welding seam between shaft and cylinder "E", place shaft under friction press with plastic piece - 1 - in between and charge shaft with very little force.

If shaft is loose or a crack is visible in the area marked with - arrows -.
^ Replace cylinder "E".

Note:
^ If cylinder "E" is not properly sealed, there will be shifting from 4th to 5th gear.





Checking coated and outer plates for wear

Signs of overheating on outer plates point to worn coated plates. Evaluate signs of wear as follows:

A - Spot of discoloration of outer plates caused by overheating in distance of more than 20 mm: Outer and coated plates OK can be reused.

B - Spot of discoloration of outer plates caused by overheating in distance of less than 20 mm: Outer and coated plates worn, must be replaced.

C - Tarnish blue/brown at outer and/or inner area of outer plates: Outer and coated plates overheated and worn, must be replaced.
