5. If the oil seal is worn, damaged, or peeling, replace the spring retainer.  

6. Inspect the clutch discs, clutch plates, and clutch end-plate for wear, damage, and discoloration. 

Standard Thickness  

Clutch Discs: 1.94 mm (0.076 in.)  

Clutch Plate:  

1st Clutch: Wave-plate: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)  

Flat-plate: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)  

2nd Clutch: Wave-plate: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)  

Flat-plate: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)  

3rd Clutch: Wave-plate: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)  

Flat-plate: 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)  

4th Clutch (Wave-plate): 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)  

5th Clutch (Wave-plate): 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)  

7. If the clutch discs are worn or damaged, replace them as a set. If the clutch discs are replaced, inspect the 

clearance between the clutch end-plate and the top disc.  

8. If any plate is worn, damaged, or discolored, replace the damaged plate with the new plate, and inspect 

the other wave-plates for a phase difference. If the clutch plate is replaced, inspect the clearance between 
the clutch end-plate and the top disc.  

9. If the clutch end-plate is worn, damaged, or discolored, inspect the clearance between the clutch end-plate 

and the top disc, then replace the clutch end-plate.

CLUTCH WAVE-PLATE PHASE DIFFERENCE INSPECTION 

1. Place the clutch wave-plate (A) on a surface plate, and set a dial indicator (B) on the wave-plate.

2. Find the bottom (C) of a phase difference of the wave-plate, zero the dial indicator and make a reference 

mark on the bottom of the wave-plate.  

3. Rotate the wave-plate about 60 degrees apart from the bottom while holding the wave-plate by its 

circumference. The dial indicator should be at the top (D) of a phase difference. Do not rotate the wave-
plate while holding its surface, always rotate it with holding its circumference.  

4. Read the dial indicator. The dial indicator reads the phase difference (E) of the wave-plate between 

bottom and top. 

Standard Phase Difference:  

1st Clutch: 0.15-0.25 mm (0.006-0.010 in.)  

2nd Clutch: 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)  

3rd Clutch: 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)  

4th Clutch: 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)  

5th Clutch: 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in.)  

5. Rotate the wave-plate about 60 degrees. The dial indicator should be at the bottom of a phase difference 

(F and G), and zero the dial indicator.  

6. Measure the phase difference at the other two tops (H and I) of the wave-plate by following steps 3 

through 5.  

7. If the two values of the three measurements are within the standard, the wave-plate is OK. If the two

values of the three measurements are out of the standard, replace the wave-plate.  

CLUTCH CLEARANCE INSPECTION 

Special Tools Required  

Clutch compressor attachment 07ZAE-PRP0100 

1. Inspect the clutch piston, discs, plates, and end-plate for wear and damage (see CLUTCH 

INSPECTION ), and inspect clutch wave-plate phase difference (see CLUTCH WAVE-PLATE 
PHASE DIFFERENCE INSPECTION
 ), if necessary.  

2. Install the clutch piston in the clutch drum. Do not install the O-rings during inspection.

3. Install the waved spring (A) in the 1st clutch drum (B). Install the clutch flat-plate (C), then starting with 

the clutch disc, alternately install the clutch discs (D) (5) and clutch wave-plates (E) (4), then install the 
clutch end-plate (F) with the flat side toward the disc.
