Reverse Brake: Assembly

  1. Install the reverse brake piston to the intermediate case.
    CAUTION:
    • Before installing the reverse brake piston, apply sufficient amount of CVTF to the seal surface in order to avoid damage and deformation.
    • Use SUBARU genuine CVTF.
  2. Install the return spring, and set the spring retainer and snap ring.
  3. Set the ST1, ST2 and ST3 to intermediate case.

    Preparation tool: 

    ST1: COMPRESSOR SPECIAL TOOL (18762AA001)

    ST2: COMPRESSOR SHAFT (18763AA000)

    ST3: COMPRESSOR SUPPORT (18765AA000)

  6. Place the dish plate, driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate neatly in this order on surface table.
  7. Set the dial gauge (spindle type) to retaining plate, and read its scale.
    NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.
  8. Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on retaining plate.
    NOTE:
    • Use a stiff board which does not bend against load as a flat board to be put on retaining plate.
    • Use a flat board weighing less than 84 N (8.6 kgf, 18.9 lb).
  9. Put the flat board on retaining plate.

  10. Using the following formula, read the push/pull gauge and calculate "N".

    N = 84 N (8.6 kgf, 18.9 lb) - Z

    84 N (8.6 kgf, 18.9 lb): Load applied to clutch plate

    Z: Flat board weight

  11. Press the center of retaining plate by applying a force of "N" or more using push/pull gauge, and then measure and record the compression amount "A".
    NOTE: Measure at four points with a 90° interval and calculate the average.

  12. Install the dish plate, drive plate, driven plate, retaining plate and snap ring to intermediate case.
    NOTE: Install the dish plate in the correct direction.
  13. Measure and record the clearance "B" between the retaining plate and snap ring.

  14. Calculate the piston stroke "S" with A and B dimensions recorded before.

    S mm (in) = A + B

    S: Piston stroke

    A: Compression amount of drive plate and dish plate

    B: Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring

    Specification: 

    2.88 - 3.18 mm (0.113 - 0.125 in)

    Service limit: 

    3.38 mm (0.133 in)

  15. Using a new drive plate, select the retaining plate so that the piston stroke is within the standard value.
