Fig. 269:





13. Install the clutch reaction plate and snap ring (Fig. 268) (Fig. 269). The OD/UD clutches reaction plate has a step on both sides. Install the OD/UD clutches reaction plate tapered step side up.

NOTE: Snap ring ends must be located within one finger of the input clutch hub. Be sure that snap ring is fully seated, by pushing with screwdriver, into snap ring groove all the way around.

Fig. 270:





14. Seat tapered snap ring to ensure proper installation (Fig. 270).

Fig. 271:





15. Install input clutch assembly to the Input Clutch Pressure Fixture-Tool 8391 (Fig. 271).

Fig. 272:





16. Set up dial indicator on the UD clutch pack as shown in (Fig. 272).

Fig. 273:





17. Using moderate pressure, press down and hold (near indicator) the UD clutch pack with screwdriver or suitable tool and zero dial indicator (Fig. 273). When releasing pressure on clutch pack, indicator reading should advance 0.005 - 0.010.

CAUTION: Do not apply more than 30 psi (206 kPa) to the underdrive clutch pack.

18. Apply 30 psi (206 kPa) to the underdrive hose on Tool 8391 and measure UD clutch clearance. Measure and record UD clutch pack measurement in four (4) places, 90 ° apart.

19. Take average of four measurements and compare with UD clutch pack clearance specification. Underdrive clutch pack clearance must be 0.94 - 1.50 mm (0.037 - 0.059 inch).

20. If necessary, select the proper reaction plate to achieve specifications:

Fig. 274:





21. Install the OD clutch pack (four fibers/four steels) (Fig. 274).

Fig. 275:





22. Install OD reaction plate waved snap ring (Fig. 275).

Fig. 276:





23. Install the OD/Reverse reaction plate with large step down (towards OD clutch pack) (Fig. 276).

Fig. 277:





24. Install OD reaction plate flat snap ring (Fig. 277).
25. Measure OD clutch pack clearance. Set up dial indicator on top of the OD/Reverse reaction plate
26. Zero dial indicator and apply 30 psi (206 kPa) air pressure to the overdrive clutch hose on Tool 8391. Measure and record OD clutch pack measurement in four (4) places, 90 ° apart.
27. Take average of four measurements and compare with OD clutch pack clearance specification.
The Overdrive (OD) clutch pack clearance is 1.07 - 3.25 mm (0.042 - 0.128 inch).
If not within specifications, the clutch is not assembled properly. There is no adjustment for the OD clutch clearance.
