Install the four clutch reaction plates and three clutch discs. Prior to installation, apply automatic transaxle fluid to them.
CAUTION
When new clutch discs are used, they should be immersed in automatic transaxle fluid a minimum of two hours prior to installation.
After installing the snap ring, check to see if there is a 0.70.9 mm (0.028-0.035 in.) clearance between the snap ring and the clutch reaction plate.
To check clearance, hold the entire circumference of the clutch reaction plate down with 50N (11 lb.) force. If clearance is out of specification, adjust the clearance by selecting the proper snap ring.
