  1. Install the forward clutch on the oil pump.

    NOTICE:
    Be careful not to damage the oil seal ring of oil pump.
  1. Using a dial indicator, measure the forward clutch piston stroke while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).

    Standard piston stroke:
    1.74 to 2.08 mm (0.0685 to 0.0819 in.)
    If the piston stroke is less than the minimum, the parts may have been assembled incorrectly. Check and reassemble again.
    If the clearance is not as specified, select another flange.
    HINT:
    There are 5 different flanges in thickness.
    Standard flange thickness:
    No.
