E: INSPECTION

1) Inspect the following items.
• Drive plate facing for wear and damage
• Snap ring for wear, return spring for breakage or
setting, and spring retainer for deformation
• Lip seal and D-ring for damage
• Piston check ball for operation
• Measure the total end play and adjust to within
specifications.
<Ref. to AT-117, ADJUSTMENT, Oil Pump.>
2) Place the same thickness of shim on both sides
to prevent retaining plate from tilting.
3) Inspect clearance between retaining plate and
operation of the low clutch.

Standard value:

0.7 — 1.1 mm (0.028 — 0.043 in)

Allowable limit:

1.6 mm (0.063 in)

4) If the clearance is out of the specified range, se-
lect a proper retaining plate so that the standard
clearance can be obtained.
