Underdrive Clutch -- Inspection



1. INSPECT UNDERDRIVE PACK CLEARANCE


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40
  1. Install the underdrive clutch to the transaxle case.

    NOTICE:
    Be careful not to damage the oil seal rings.
  1. Install a dial indicator as shown in the illustration.

  1. Measure the underdrive clutch pack clearance while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).

    Pack clearance:
    1.51 to 1.71 mm (0.0594 to 0.0673 in.)
    If the pack clearance is not within the specified range, inspect the discs, plates, and flange.


2. INSPECT NO. 1 UNDERDRIVE CLUTCH DISC


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40
  1. Check if the sliding surfaces of the discs, plates and flange are worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.

    HINT:
    1. If the lining of a disc comes off or discolors, or even if a part of the groove is damaged, replace all discs.
    2. Before assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for at least 15 minutes.


3. INSPECT UNDERDRIVE CLUTCH DRUM SUB-ASSEMBLY


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40

    Standard inside diameter:
    32.56 to 32.58 mm (1.2818 to 1.2826 in.)
    Maximum inside diameter:
    32.63 mm (1.2846 in.)
    If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the underdrive clutch drum.


4. INSPECT UNDERDRIVE CLUTCH RETURN SPRING SUB-ASSEMBLY


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40

    Standard free length:
    17.14 mm (0.6748 in.)
    If the free length is shorter than the standard free length, replace the underdrive clutch return spring sub-assembly.
