5A-123 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle: 

• Install direct clutch assembly (1) to center support (2) 

and with compressed air (400 – 800 kPa, 4 – 8 kg/
cm

2

, 57 – 113 psi) applied to oil hole (3), measure 

stroke of direct clutch piston as shown in the figure.
If it is not within standard range, select another plate 
with suitable thickness from the list below and replace 
it.

Direct clutch piston standard stroke
0.90 – 1.30 mm (0.035 – 0.051 in.)

Direct Clutch Inspection

S6JB0A5106044

• Measure inside diameter of direct clutch cylinder 

bushing. If inside diameter exceeds limit, replace 
direct clutch cylinder.

Direct clutch cylinder bushing inside diameter 
standard
23.062 – 23.088 mm (0.9080 – 0.9090 in.)

Direct Clutch Piston Return Spring
• Measure free length.

Standard free length of direct clutch piston return 
spring
24.25 mm (0.955 in.)

Direct Clutch Piston
• Shake piston to check that ball is not stuck.
• Apply air pressure and check that there is no leakage.

Clutch Disc and Plate
Check that sliding surface of discs and plate are not 
worn or burnt. if necessary, replace them.

NOTE

• If disc lining is exfoliated, discolored or 

worn hardly, replace all discs.

• If only a part of printed numbers is 

corroded, replace all discs.

• Before assembling new discs, soak them 

in A/T fluid for at least 15 minutes.

Center Support Disassembly and Assembly

S6JB0A5106046

Disassembly

1) Remove retaining ring.

Special tool
(A):  09920–76010 

2) Pull out center support assembly (2) from planetary 

sun gear (1).

3) Apply compressed air (400 – 800 kPa, 4 – 8 kg/cm

2

, 

57 – 113 psi) to oil hole (1) at the extreme left and 
measure movement of second coast brake (Second 
coast brake) piston.
If measured value is not within standard range, 
replace second coast brake plate or second coast 
brake disc.

Standard second coast brake piston movement
0.75 – 1.35 mm (0.030 – 0.053 in.)

4) Remove retaining ring.

5) After removing clutch backing plate (1), remove 

second coast brake plate (3) and second coast 
brake disc (2).

6) Using special tool and hydraulic press, compress 

piston return spring and remove snap ring.

CAUTION

!

 

Be careful when applying pressure, for 
overpressure will cause plate section of 
piston return spring to deform.

 

Special tool
(A):  09926–98310 

7) Remove brake piston return spring (1).

8) Apply compressed air (400 – 800 kPa, 4 – 8 kg/cm

2

, 

57 – 113 psi) to oil hole at the extreme left and 
remove second coast brake piston as shown in the 
figure. Then remove piston inner O-ring and piston 
outer O-ring from second coast brake piston.

9) Remove 3 seal rear rings (1).

NOTE
Use care not to open ring more than 
necessary.

 

10) Apply compressed air (400 – 800 kPa, 4 – 8 kg/cm

2

, 

57 – 113 psi) to second hole (1) from the left and 
measure stroke of second brake (Second brake) 
piston as shown in the figure.
If measured value is not within standard range, 
replace second brake plate or second brake disc.

Standard second brake piston stroke
0.97 – 1.70 mm (0.038 – 0.067 in.)

11) After removing retaining back plate ring, remove 

clutch backing plate, second brake plates and 
second brake discs.

12) Using special tool and hydraulic press, compress 

brake piston return spring and remove snap second 
coast brake ring.

CAUTION
