b. Determine Plate Thickness
(1) Determine the original thickness of each
external-tanged plate with a micrometer. Because the
tangs of the clutch plate are not subject to face wear, the
micrometer reading at a tang will be the original
thickness. Note that each clutch pack must contain one
thick plate next to the piston, and a basic number of thick
and thin plates. The combination of thick and thin plates
are selected to meet the prescribed clearance with the
clutch released. Install all thick plates toward the piston
end of the pack.
(2) Determine the wear on both internal and
external plates (refer to wear limits in Section 8).

external-tanged plates in the low, first, second, and third
clutches in earlier models may be different
