INPUT CLUTCH ASSEMBLY (Continued)
(17) Install the input clutch assembly into Input
Clutch Pressure Fixture 8260 (Fig. 87). Mount a dial
indicator to the assembly, push down on the clutch
discs and zero the indicator against the underdrive
clutch discs (Fig. 88). Apply 20 psi of air pressure to
the underdrive clutch and record the dial indicator
reading. Measure and record UD clutch pack mea-
surement in four (4) places, 90° apart. Take average
of four measurements and compare with UD clutch
pack clearance specification. The correct clutch clear-
ance is 0.84-1.54 mm (0.033-0.061 in.). The reaction
plate is not selective. If the clutch clearance is not
within specification, replace the reaction plate along
with all the friction and steel discs.
