Multi-plate Clutch: Adjustment

  1. Remove the drive plate and driven plate from the center differential carrier.
  2. Measure the distance "L" from mating surface of extension case to multi-plate clutch (LSD) piston.

    ST 399643600 GAUGE

    L = Measured value - 15 mm

    L = Measured value - 0.59 in)

  3. Measure the height "l" from mating surface of the transmission case to end surface of the center differential clutch drum.

    ST 499577000 GAUGE

    l = Measured value - 35 mm

    (l = Measured value - 1.38 in)

    G02053134
  4. Calculation equation:

    T = (L + 0.45) - l

    T: Measurements between end surface of clutch drum and multi-plate clutch (LSD) piston.

    L: Distance from mating surface of extension case to multi-plate clutch (LSD) piston.

    0.45: Gasket thickness

    l:. Height from mating surface of transmission case to end surface of the center differential clutch drum.

    NOTE: Measure thickness of driven and drive plates of multi-plate clutch (LSD) and determine clearance between measured value and "T".

    Standard value: 

    1. 0.2 - 0.6 mm (0.008 - 0.024 in)

    Allowable limit: 

    1. 1.6 mm (0.063 in)

    If out of specification, replace plate set (drive and driven plate) and select a multi-plate clutch (LSD) piston side adjusting plate to make it within specification.
