LOW CLUTCH CLEARANCE MEASUREMENT/ADJUSTMENT

Preparation Before Servicing

1. Print out the measurement/adjustment value input sheet. (See MEASUREMENT/ADJUSTMENT VALUE INPUT SHEET.)

NOTE:
- When performing the measurement/adjustment, input the measured and calculated values into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.
- When performing the other measurements/adjustments, if the measurement/adjustment value input sheet has been printed out, use the printed sheet.

Low Clutch Clearance Measurement






1. Assemble the snap ring to the position shown in the figure.

CAUTION:
- Assemble so that the end gap of the snap ring is positioned diagonally opposed to the end gap of the snap ring for the high clutch.
- After assembling the snap ring, verify that the snap ring is securely inserted into the bottom of the snap ring groove.


NOTE: Snap ring size: Outer diameter approx. 169.3 mm {6.665 in}






A : Snap ring (low clutch)
B : Snap ring (high clutch)






2. Set the oil pump on the workbench as shown in the figure.

A : Rubber plate

CAUTION: To reduce error during the low clutch clearance measurement, use the rubber plates to adjust the alignment surface of the oil pump with the transaxle case so that it is level.


3. Assemble the thrust needle bearing to the clutch component using the following procedure:

NOTE: Thrust needle bearing size: Outer diameter approx. 72.7 mm {2.86 in}

1. To prevent the thrust needle bearing from dropping out, apply ATF (ATF FZ) to the thrust needle bearing.











2. Assemble the thrust needle bearing.











4. Assemble the parts assembled together in Step 3 to the oil pump.











5. Install the SST.
6. Place a 98-196 N {10.0-19.9 kgf, 23.0-44.0 lbf} weight on the SST using the following procedure:

NOTE: Use a V-block as a weight.

1. Measure the weight of the weight placed on the SST.
2. Input the measured weight into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.






3. Place the measured weight on the SST.

A : Weight (V-block)

CAUTION: To reduce error during the low clutch clearance measurement, place the weight near the center of the SST.

7. Perform the following calculation to calculate the correction value for the low clutch clearance.

NOTE: Because a wave spring is included in the low clutch, a correction value is required for the low clutch clearance according to the weight of the weight used during the low clutch clearance measurement.

Correction value of low clutch clearance (weight of unit is N) = (A - 90 N) x 0.00157 mm {0.0000618 in}
A : Weight of weight

Note
Example

A : Weight of weight is 150 N
Correction value of low clutch clearance = 150 N - 90 N) x 0.00157 mm {0.0000618 in} = 0.0942 mm {0.00371 in}

Correction value of low clutch clearance (weight of unit is kgf) = (A - 9.18 kgf) x 0.01540 mm {0.0006063 in}
A : Weight of weight

Note
Example

A : Weight of weight is 15.30 kgf
Correction value of low clutch clearance = 15.30 kgf - 9.18 kgf) x 0.01540 mm {0.0006063 in} = 0.0942 mm {0.00371 in}

Correction value of low clutch clearance (weight of unit is lbf) = (A - 20.23 lbf) x 0.00698 mm {0.0002748 in}
A : Weight of weight

Note
Example

A : Weight of weight is 33.72 lbf
Correction value of low clutch clearance = 33.72 lbf - 20.23 lbf) x 0.00698 mm {0.0002748 in} = 0.0942 mm {0.00371 in}

8. Input the calculated correction value of the low clutch clearance into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.
9. Set the measuring instrument to the oil pump using the following procedure:
















1. Install an appropriate steel plate for securing the magnetic stand used in the procedure shown in the figure..

CAUTION: If the bolt and nut are tightened with excessive force when installing the steel plate, the alignment surface of the oil pump with the transaxle case could be damaged. Tighten the bolt and nut so that the steel plate does not move during low clutch clearance measurement.

NOTE: When installing the steel plate to the oil pump, use an M8 bolt and nut.

Steel plate installation bolt tightening torque
15 N.m {1.5 kgf.m, 11 ft.lbf} or less (tighten so that steel plate does not move during low clutch clearance measurement)






2. Set the dial gauge and magnetic stand as shown in the figure.

A : Dial gauge
B : Magnetic stand

CAUTION: To reduce error during the low clutch clearance measurement, set the dial gauge so that it is perpendicular to the alignment surface of the oil pump with the transaxle case.






3. Set the dial gauge end near the center of the weight.

A : Area in which dial gauge end is set

CAUTION: To reduce error during the low clutch clearance measurement, set the dial gauge end to within the area shown in the figure.

10. Measure the low clutch clearance using the following procedure:






1. Blow compressed air into the oil passage shown in the figure and verify the operation condition of the low clutch piston (approx. 3 times).

WARNING: Always wear protective eye wear when using the air compressor. Otherwise, ATF or dirt particles blown off by the air compressor could get into the eyes.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to parts, always use an air compressor which is adjusted to the indicated pressure.

Compressed air pressure
0.39-0.44 MPa {4.0-4.4 kgf/cm2, 57-63 psi}






2. Blow compressed air into the oil passage shown in the figure and operate the low clutch piston to read the value when the dial gauge is stabilized.

WARNING: Always wear protective eye wear when using the air compressor. Otherwise, ATF or dirt particles blown off by the air compressor could get into the eyes.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to parts, always use an air compressor which is adjusted to the indicated pressure.

Compressed air pressure
0.39-0.44 MPa {4.0-4.4 kgf/cm2, 57-63 psi}

3. Input the dial gauge value, which was read while the low clutch piston was operating, into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.
4. Release the compressed air and read the dial gauge value without the low clutch piston operating.
5. Input the dial gauge value, which was read without the low clutch piston operating, into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.
6. Perform the following calculation to calculate the low clutch clearance.
Low clutch clearance = C - D - B
B : Correction value of low clutch clearance
C : Dial gauge value with low clutch piston operated
D : Dial gauge value without low clutch piston operated

Note
Example

B : Correction value of low clutch clearance is 0.0942 mm {0.00371 in}
C : Dial gauge value with low clutch piston operated is 2.320 mm {0.09134 in}
D : Dial gauge value without low clutch piston operated is 0.595 mm {0.02343 in}
Low clutch clearance = 2.320 mm {0.09134 in} - 0.595 mm {0.02343 in} - 0.0942 mm {0.00371 in} = 1.6308 mm {0.06420 in}

7. Input the calculated low clutch clearance into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.
8. Verify that the low clutch clearance satisfies the specification.

Specification
1.400-1.600 mm {0.05512-0.06299 in}

- If not within the specification, adjust the low clutch clearance. (See Low Clutch Clearance Adjustment.)

A : Dial gauge
B : Magnetic stand











12. Remove the steel plate for securing the magnetic stand using the procedure shown in the figure.






13. Remove the weight on the SST.

A : Weight (V-block)






14. Remove the SST.






15. Remove the clutch component.






16. Remove the thrust needle bearing.






17. Take the oil pump off the rubber plates.

4. Remove the snap ring.
5. Measure the thickness of the removed snap ring.

NOTE: Recommended measuring instrument: Micrometer

6. Input the measured snap ring thickness into the measurement/adjustment value input sheet.
7. Select the appropriate snap ring from the following table:






Range = E + H
E : Low clutch clearance
H : Thickness of removed snap ring

Note
Example

E : Low clutch clearance is 1.6308 mm {0.06420 in}
H : Thickness of removed snap ring is 1.705 mm {0.06713 in}
Range = 1.6308 mm {0.06420 in} + 1.705 mm {0.06713 in} = 3.3358 mm {0.13133 in}, the selected snap ring has a thickness of 1.8 mm {0.071 in}.






8. Assemble the selected snap ring to the position shown in the figure.

CAUTION:
- Assemble so that the end gap of the snap ring is positioned diagonally opposed to the end gap of the snap ring for the high clutch.
- After assembling the snap ring, verify that the snap ring is securely inserted into the bottom of the snap ring groove.
