- Take average of four measurements and compare with reverse clutch pack clearance specification. The reverse clutch pack clearance is 0.89-1.37 mm (0.035-0.054 in.).
Select the proper reverse clutch snap ring to achieve specifications:
REVERSE CLUTCH SNAP RING THICKNESS 4377195 1.53-1.58 mm (0.060-0.062 in.) 4412871 1.77-1.83 mm (0.070-0.072 in.) 4412872 2.02-2.07 mm (0.080-0.082 in.) 4412873 2.27-2.32 mm (0.090-0.091 in.) - To complete the assembly, reverse clutch and overdrive clutch must be removed.
