High-Reverse (Front) Clutch: Reassembly
- Apply ATF to clutch hub drum, seals and piston. To avoid damaging seal, install piston using equal pressure and rotating during reassembly. Soak friction plates in ATF for 15 minutes before installing in drum.
- Install springs and retainer. Install compressor and install snap ring. Ensure snap ring is fully seated. Install dish plate with dish facing outward. Install steel and friction plates in the same sequence as they were removed.
- Install retainer plate and install snap ring. Using a feeler gauge, measure clearance between snap ring and retainer plate.
- On JM600 and RX7 models, the clearance must be .063-.079" (1.6-2.0 mm).
- On all other models, clearance must be between .063-.071" (1.6-1.8 mm).
- On all models, replace retainer plate with different thickness to obtain specified clearance. Refer to the specifications in HIGH-REVERSE (FRONT) CLUTCH RETAINER PLATE THICKNESS
table. Apply air pressure to assembly to ensure proper operation.
