End Clutch Assembly
END CLUTCHComponents
Disassembly
1. Remove the snap ring, and then remove the clutch reaction plate, the clutch disc, and the clutch plate. If the disc and plate are reused, be sure not to change the installation order and direction when they are disassembled.
2. Remove the snap ring by using snap-ring pliers, and then remove the washer and return spring.
3. Remove the piston. If it is difficult to remove, face the piston side downward, and with the retainer on a base, blow air through the oil passage on the rear surface.
4. Remove the seal ring from the retainer.
5. Remove the two D-rings and oil seal from the piston.
Reassembly
1. Install the D-rings and oil seal in the piston inner and outer groove.
2. After applying a coating of automatic transaxle fluid to the D-rings outer circumference, manually press the piston into the end clutch retainer.
3. Install the return spring and washer.
4. After fitting a new snap ring into the guide of the special tool snap-ring installer, install the retainer. Push the snap ring as far down on the guide as possible. Attach the installer and press until the snap ring enters the groove. Do not press more than necessary. The places indicated by arrows in the illustration (center projections) are not to be supported.
5. Install the clutch plate, clutch disc and reaction plate to the end clutch retainer. if the reaction plate, clutch plate and clutch disc are reused, install them in the same order they were disassembled. Apply a coating of automatic transaxle fluid.
CAUTION:
When a new clutch disc is used, soak it in automatic transaxle fluid for a minimum of 2 hours before using it.
6. Install the snap ring. Check to see that the clearance between the snap ring and the clutch reaction plate is 0.60 - 0.85 mm (0.024 - 0.033 inch) To check the clearance, hold the circumference of the clutch reaction plate down with 50 Nm (11 lbs..) force. If the clearance is out of specification, adjust the clearance by selecting the proper snap ring.
