2. Fit circlip (68) in groove.


3. Use feeler gage to determine play between grooved ball bearing (67) and circlip (68).

No play should exist between circlip (68) and grooved ball bearing (67). If circlip cannot be fitted, a
thinner one must be used. If play exists between circlip and grooved ball bearing, a thicker circlip must be
used.

Circlips (68) are available in thicknesses 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 mm.

Fig. 98: Identifying Measuring Multi-Disk Pack K3 Thickness Of Friction And Steel Multi-Disks

Soak new friction multi-disks in automatic transmission fluid for 1 hour before installation.

1. Assemble the disks for multi-disk clutch K3 in the sequence shown in the diagram and insert one at a
time.
2. Place pressing tool (078) on externally toothed plate (41a).
3. Press together multi-disk pack by pressing together pressing tool as far as stop using a lever press (the
marking ring can then still be seen, refer to small arrow ).
4. Using a feeler gage, measure the clearance "L" at three locations between the snap ring (44g) and the
externally toothed plate (41a).

During the measuring procedure, the snap ring (44g) must touch the upper contact surface of the groove
in the external plate carrier.

5. Adjust clearance if necessary using appropriate snap ring (44g).

Snap rings are available in thicknesses of 2.0, 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 3.2, and 3.5 mm.

2. Mount pressure device (078) onto end disk (41a).


3. Compress the disk pack, to do so l press the pressure device (078) together using a lever press up to
stop.

The marking ring (smaller arrow) is then still visible.

4. Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance (L) at three points between the snap ring (44g) and end disk
(41a).

During the measuring procedure, the snap ring (44g) must lie against the upper contact surface of the
groove in the external plate carrier (44a).

5. Use corresponding snap ring (44g) to adjust clearance (L) if necessary.

The snap rings (44g)are available at sizes 2.0 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.9 mm, 3.2 mm and 3.5 mm.
