    The DT-48213  Clutch Pack Height Gauge (3) applies a predetermined amount of pressure to the clutch pack in order to properly measure the clutch pack height. Do not use any other method than what is outlined below.

  22. Micrometers or depth gauges may also be used in conjunction with the DT-48213  Clutch Pack Height Gauge (3) to measure the clutch pack height.
  23. Install the 8 transfer case four wheel drive clutch pressure plates-friction (1) and 7 transfer case four wheel drive clutch pressure plates-steel (2) clutch plates onto the DT-48213  Clutch Pack Height Gauge (3), alternating friction and steel plates.
  24. Tighten the DT-48213  Clutch Pack Height Gauge (3) until the upper portion of the tool contacts the lower portion of the tool. The screw will be flush with the bottom surface of the tool to indicate the tool has fully compressed the clutch plates.
  25. Two variations are available to measure clutch pack height, outside measurement or inside measurement. Either variation will determine the correct height.
  26. Outside Measurement
    1. Using an outside caliper, measure the total combined height of the clutch pack and the DT-48213  Clutch Pack Height Gauge (3), dimension (a). Subtract the thickness of both the upper and lower portion of the DT-48213  Clutch Pack Height Gauge (3), 14 mm (0.551 in), and record the results.
    2. Repeat the process in 2 additional locations, 120 degrees from each other.
    3. The average of the 3 measurements is the clutch pack height.
  27. Inside Measurement
    1. Using an inside caliper, measure the height of the clutch pack, dimension (b), and record the results.
    2. Repeat the process in 2 additional locations, 120 degrees from each other.
    3. The average of the 3 measurements is the clutch pack height.

  31. Transfer Case Two/Four Wheel Drive Clutch Retaining Ring (3) - Install
  32. Measure the clutch assembly height.
    1. Hold the transfer case four wheel drive clutch pressure plate (4) and transfer case four wheel drive clutch hub (1) apart. Using an inside caliper or micrometer, measure the height of the clutch assembly in the location (a) shown and record the results.
    2. Repeat the process in 2 additional locations, 120 degrees from each other.
    3. The average of the 3 measurements is the clutch assembly height.
  33. NOTE:

    A variety of shims are available to properly adjust the clearance height of the clutch assembly.

  34. Subtract the clutch pack height from the clutch assembly height. This is the clutch clearance. A 3.1 mm (0.122 in) clearance +/- 0.1 mm (0.004 in) is necessary. You may need to replace the clutch shim with a thicker shim or a thinner shim, to achieve the proper clearance in the clutch. Repeat the check to verify the clearance is to the specification.
  35. With the proper clutch clearance set, remove and discard the transfer case two/four wheel drive clutch retaining ring (3). Remove the transfer case four wheel drive clutch shim (2), and the transfer case four wheel drive clutch hub (1).
