Clutch Inspection

1. Inspect the clutch pistons and the clutch piston check valves (A).





2. If the clutch piston check valve is loose or damaged, replace the clutch piston.
3. Check the spring retainer for wear and damage.
4. If the spring retainer is worn or damaged, replace it.
5. Check the oil seal (A) on the spring retainer of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd clutches for wear, damaged, and peeling.





6. If the oil seal is worn, damaged, or peeling, replace the spring retainer.
7. Inspect the clutch discs, the clutch plates, and the clutch end plate for wear, damage, and discoloration.

Clutch Discs for All Models
Standard Thickness: 1.94 mm (0.076 in.)

Clutch Plates
Standard Thickness:
1st Clutch
Wave plates: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
Flat-plates: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
2nd Clutch
Wave-plates: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
Flat-plate: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
3rd Clutch
Wave-plates: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
Flat-plates: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
4th Clutch (wave-plates): 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
5th Clutch (wave-plates): 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)

9. If any plate is worn, damaged, or discolored, replace the damaged plate with a new plate, and inspect the other wave plates for a phase difference. If the clutch plate is replaced, inspect the clearance between the clutch end-plate and the top disc.
10. If the clutch end plate is worn, damaged, or discolored, inspect the clearance between the clutch end-plate and the top disc, then replace the clutch end plate.

Clutch Wave-plate Phase Difference Inspection

1. Place the clutch wave-plate (A) on a surface plate, and set a dial indicator (B) on the wave-plate.





2. Find the bottom (C) of a phase difference of the wave-plate, zero the dial indicator and make a reference mark on the bottom of the wave-plate.
3. Rotate the wave-plate about 60-degrees apart from the bottom while holding the wave-plate by its circumference. The dial indicator should be at the top (D) of a phase difference. Do not rotate the wave-plate while holding its surface, always rotate it with holding its circumference.
4. Read the dial indicator. The dial indicator reads the phase difference (E) of the wave-plate between bottom and top.

Standard Phase Difference:
1st Clutch: 0.15-0.25 mm (0.006-0.010 in.)
2nd Clutch: 0.1-0.2 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)
3rd Clutch: 0.1-0.2 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)
4th Clutch: 0.1-0.2 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)
5th Clutch: 0.1-0.2 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)

5. Rotate the wave-plate about 60-degrees. The dial indicator should be at the bottom of a phase difference (F and G), and zero the dial indicator.
6. Measure the phase difference at the other two tops (H and I) of the wave-plate by following steps 3 thru 5.
7. If two of the three measurements are within the standard, the wave-plate is OK. If two of the three measurements are out of the standard, replace the wave-plate.

Clutch Clearance Inspection

Special Tools Required

10. Zero the dial indicator with the clutch end-plate lifted up to the snap ring (C).
11. Release the clutch end-plate to lower the clutch end-plate, then put the clutch compressor attachment on the clutch end-plate (A).





12. Press the clutch compressor attachment down with 147 N (15 kgf, 33 lbf) (B) using a force gauge, and read the dial indicator (C).
13. The dial indicator reads the clearance (D) between the clutch end-plate and the top disc (E). Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.

Clearance between Clutch End-Plate and Top Disc Service Limit:
1st Clutch: 1.38-1.58 mm (0.054-0.062 in.)
2nd Clutch: 1.14-1.34 mm (0.045-0.053 in.)

5th Clutch: 0.93-1.13 mm (0.037-0.044 in.)

14. If the clearance (A) is out of the service limit, select a new clutch end-plate from the following table.

















15. Install a new clutch end-plate, and recheck the clearance. If the thickest clutch end-plate is installed, but the clearance is still over the service limit, replace the clutch discs and the plates.
