31.Multi-plate Clutch
A: REMOVAL
Remove the multi-plate clutch following the same
instructions as for the extension case. <Ref. to
4AT-83, REMOVAL, Extension Case.>
B: INSTALLATION
Install the multi-plate clutch following the same in-
structions as for the extension case. <Ref. to 4AT-
83, INSTALLATION, Extension Case.>
C: INSPECTION
• Inspect the drive plate facing for wear and dam-
age.
• Make sure the snap ring is not worn and the re-
turn spring has no permanent distortion, damage,
or deformation.
• Inspect the D-ring for damage.
• Measure the multi-plate clutch clearance and ad-
just it within specification. <Ref. to 4AT-93, AD-
JUSTMENT, Multi-plate Clutch.>
D: ADJUSTMENT
1) Assemble the drive plate and driven plate to cen-
ter differential carrier.
2) Using the ST, measure the depth “A” from mat-
ing surface of extension case to multi-plate clutch
piston.

GAUGE
3) Using the ST, measure the height “B” from trans-
mission case mating surface to end of ST.

PISTON GUIDE
4) Calculation formula:
T = A
− B + 0.45 mm
[T = A
− B + 0.0177 in]
NOTE:
• Calculation formula for “T” is applied when mea-
suring using ST (398643600 GAUGE, 398744300
GAUGE). When not using the ST,
T = (A
− α + 0.45 mm) − (B − β)
[T = (A
− α + 0.0177 in) − (B − β)]
is applied.
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Depth from the end of the substitute as ST to
multi-plate clutch piston
B: Height from mating surface of transmission case
to end of substitution as ST
α: Tool thickness used when measuring “A”
β: Tool thickness used when measuring “B”
0.45: Gasket thickness (mm)
• Measure the thickness of multi-plate clutch pis-
ton driven and drive plate to find the clearance be-
tween measurement value and “T”.
Initial specification:
0.2 — 0.6 mm (0.008 — 0.024 in)
Service limit:
1.6 mm (0.063 in)
If the clearance exceeds the limit, replace the plate
set (drive and driven). Select a driven plate of multi-
plate clutch piston so that the clearance becomes
within specification.
