Direct Clutch: Disassembly
- Measure height between snap ring and clutch flange. See Figure. Clearance should be .098-.120" (2.49-3.05 mm). If clearance is not within specification, inspect clutch discs or plates. Replace as needed.
- Remove clutch plate snap ring. Remove clutch flange, discs and plates. Using appropriate spring compressor, compress piston return springs and remove snap ring. See Figure. Excessive compression may cause spring seat to become distorted.
- Remove spring seat and return spring. Apply compressed air through clutch drum oil hole to remove piston. Remove inner seal from clutch drum and outer seal from piston.
