FORWARD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, CHECKING OPERATION

- Assemble both forward clutch and direct/reverse clutch with thrust washers on oil pump.

- Blow compressed air into port. See Fig 4 , (arrow A).

FORWARD CLUTCH, ADJUSTING END PLAY

Refer to Fig 5 .

- Check that play (arrow) is between 0.5-0.9 mm (0.020 to 0.035 in.) otherwise select new circlip from table.

PLATE VALVE, INSTALLING

VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY, DISASSEMBLING/ASSEMBLING

For valve body assembly components, refer to Fig 13 .

NOTE: For spring measurements, see spring table below.
CAUTION: Several springs have same dimensions. However, do not interchange because they have different tolerances.
NOTE: Slight scoring on valves will not cause operating problems.

SPRING TABLE (CK VALVE BODY)

This table allows identification of springs by their dimensions. Coil diameter and free length can vary between new and used springs (due to settling) so check spring wire thickness and number of coils first, as means of identifying spring. If this is not enough also use inner coil diameter and free length.

CAUTION: Several valve springs have similar dimensions. However, they must not be interchanged because they have different tolerances.
