Obtain the thickness of washer using the values measured from step 7) to step 15).
Calculation formula:

T mm = (B - A) - (C - D) - (0.0 - 0.20)

[T in = (B - A) - (C - D) - (0.0 - 0.008)]

T: Washer thickness

A: Height from the ST end surface to the snap ring of the forward clutch drum

B: Height from the ST end surface to the thrust needle bearing

C: Height from the ST end surface to the flat board with the snap ring placed on

D: Height from the ST end surface to the washer catch surface of the forward clutch hub

0.0 - 0.20 mm (0.0 - 0.008 in): Clearance

Select the washer to meet the value "T" obtained from step 16).
