Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the multiple disc clutch hub bushing.

Standard inside diameter:

23.025 to 23.046 mm (0.9065 to 0.9073 in.)

NOTICE:

Check the contact surface of the bushing in the direct clutch shaft. If any scratch or discolor is identified, replace the direct clutch sub-assembly with a new one.

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

NOTICE:

1. If the linings of the discs are peeled off or discolored, 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.

Temporarily remove the snap ring and attach the flange to the transaxle case.

Reinstall the snap ring to the transaxle case.

Install the underdrive clutch assembly to the one-way clutch.

Rotate the underdrive clutch assembly to check the rotating direction for the lock or free operation.

Remove the underdrive clutch assembly from the one-way clutch.

Using a dial indicator, measure the input shaft end play.

End play:

0.262 to 1.244 mm (0.01 to 0.049 in.)

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

NOTICE:

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