4. Place SST on the clutch balancer and compress the piston return spring with a press.
  SST 09350-32014 (09351-32070)
5. Using a snap ring expander, install the snap ring to the underdrive clutch drum.
  NOTE:
  - Be sure the end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with the clutch balancer's claw.
  - Stop the press when the spring sheet is lowered to a position 1 to 2 mm (0.039 0.078 in.) from the snap ring groove.
  - This prevents the spring sheet from being deformed.
  - Do not expand the snap ring excessively.

Measure the underdrive clutch piston stroke while applying and releasing compressed air (392 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm² , 57 psi).

Standard pack clearance: 1.51 to 1.90 mm (0.0594 to 0.0748 in.)

If the pack clearance is less than the minimum, parts may have been assembled incorrectly, so check and reassemble again.

If the park clearance is not as specified, select another flange.

HINT:

There are 3 flanges in different thickness.
