Clutch Drum And Input Shaft Assembly: Inspection

  1. INSPECT UNDERDRIVE 1-way CLUTCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Hold the coast clutch hub and turn the 1-way clutch.
    2. Check that the 1-way clutch turns freely counterclockwise and locks clockwise.

      If there is a problem with the 1-way clutch, replace it.

  2. INSPECT DIRECT CLUTCH RETURN SPRING SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the spring together with the spring seat.

      Standard free length: 19.51 mm (0.768 in.) 

      If the free length is not as specified, replace the clutch return spring sub-assembly.

  5. INSPECT PACK CLEARANCE OF DIRECT CLUTCH 
    1. Inspect the pack clearance of the direct clutch.
      1. Using a dial indicator, measure the moving distance (distance A) of the clutch flange at both ends across the diameter while blowing air into the oil hole as shown in the illustration, and calculate the average.

        HINT:

        Flange moving distance A = 0.26 to 1.14 mm (0.010 to 0.045 in.)

        Pack clearance = Flange moving distance A - 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)

        Standard pack clearance: 0.5 to 0.8 mm (0.020 to 0.031 in.) 

        NOTE: When measuring the moving distance, install a standard flange (thickness: 3.4 mm, 0.134 in.) to the position of the shaded area shown in the illustration.
