  16. Obtain the thickness of washer using the values measured from step  7 to step  15.

    Calculation formula:

    T mm = (B - A) - (C - D) - (0.0 - 0.20)

    [T in = (B - A) - (C - D) - (0.0 - 0.008)]

    T: Washer thickness

    A: Height from the ST end surface to the snap ring of the forward clutch drum

    B: Height from the ST end surface to the thrust needle bearing

    C: Height from the ST end surface to the flat board with the snap ring placed on

    D: Height from the ST end surface to the washer catch surface of the forward clutch hub

    0.0 - 0.20 mm (0.0 - 0.008 in): Clearance

  17. Select the washer to meet the value "T" obtained from step  16.
