5. Install the three clutch reaction plates and two clutch discs. Prior to installation, apply ATF to them.
CAUTION:
a. When new clutch discs are used, they should be immersed in ATF a minimum of two hours prior to installation.
b. As you know, the color of current clutch disc turns to black when burnt. When the new clutch disc is immersed in ATF for two hours, its
color also turns to black, which makes it difficult to identify it the clutch disc is normal or has been burnt. Therefore, care should be taken
not to confuse or misuse the burnt clutch disc of current type and new type clutch discs immersed in ATF.
c. The burnt clutch disc of new type should be identified by looking at the height difference of protruded section and base section.
6. After installing the snap ring, check to see if there is a 0.4-0.6 mm (0.0157-0.0236 inch) clearance between the snap ring and the clutch reaction
plate. To check clearance, hold the entire circumference of the clutch reaction plate down with 50 N (11 lbs.) force. If clearance is out of
specification, adjust the clearance by selecting the proper snap ring.
