Od Planetary Gear, Od Direct Clutch & Od One-Way Clutch: Inspection

  1. Inspect disc and flange for flaking or burnt areas. If disc lining is peeling or discolored, replace disc. Inspect piston return springs for wear, damage and collapsed coils. Clean all components (except disc) with solvent. Dry with compressed air. Ensure check ball is free in direct clutch piston. Apply compressed air to check ball area. Ensure check ball does not allow air to bleed through piston.
  2. Using a feeler gauge, measure clearance between planetary pinion gear and OD planetary gear housing. Standard clearance should be .008-.020" (.20-.51 mm). If clearance is not as specified, inspect planetary gear thrust washer. Replace planetary gear assembly (if necessary).
  3. Using calipers, measure free length of each piston return spring. Standard free length is .594" (15.1 mm). If measurement is not as specified, replace return springs.
CAUTION: Clutch discs should be soaked in ATF for 15 minutes prior to installation. Lubricate all parts with ATF. Coat thrust bearings and races with petroleum jelly.
