Multi-plate Clutch: Adjustment
- Remove the drive plate and driven plate from the center differential carrier.
- 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)
- 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)
- 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:
- 0.2 - 0.6 mm (0.008 - 0.024 in)
Allowable limit:
- 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.
