C. SNAP RING SELECTION

1. Check clearance between the snap ring and clutch reaction plate. To check the clearance, hold entire circumference of the clutch reaction plate down with 50 Nm (11 lbs.) force. If clearance is out of standard value, select a snap ring to obtain the standard value.

Standard value: 0.7-0.9 mm (0.028-0.035 in.)

NOTE: To install the return spring snap rings, set the rings with their end gaps 1800 apart.
