Transfer Clutch Pack

I noticed that I no longer had any power going to the rear wheels. I sent 12v and gnd to the right pins on the connector and I could hear the solenoid clicking so I figure that is working OK. I pulled the extension housing off and was happy to see that the inner clutch part was still attached to the gear. So that only leaves the clutch pack right?

I have a spare tranny that has the inner part broken off of the gear and I was comparing this clutch pack to that one. In this one, the disks are all loose (there is a gap greater than 1mm so it is very loose) and the clutch pack from the other tranny is very tight. The only thing is that when the inner part broke off of the gear, little pieces of metal got in around the plates.

My question is what is all involved in replacing these plates? Is there a specification on how thin the plates get before you should replace them?

They are just like the clutches in a dirt bike, simple to replace while you have them out.
My tranny guy says the clutch disks are only a couple bucks each...so you might as well just buy some new ones...

I dont know which parts to replace. http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=170-A Is it both 1 and 2? That would be $160.

The number 1 and number 2 show a line to all the plates, so that price is for them all, not each....so get both, but the organic ones for sure, the steel plate can usually be re-used, but as cheap as they are, I'd just get both sets...

Yeah, Ouch is right. Thats why I am wondering if someone can tell me the specs on the disc thickness in mm. I have an assembly from another tranny that is probably fine and could save me $200 in parts, but I would like to take the discs out and measure them to see how worn they are.

Also, are there any other parts on the trans clutch assy that should be replaced while apart? (seals, etc)

Transfer clutch.

The clutch plates are different thickness, so they have to be set up with the right pressure plate, to give them the right clearance, when they are assembled. Part No. 3 in the parts diag is the pressure plate in a number of thickness to set the clearance. My WSM has a different clutch, so you would need to check the US book to see what the clearance should be.

Although the C solenoid is clicking OK, you should check or replace the Transfer valve to make sure that it is not jammed. You will have to knock the roll pin out to get the valve out, of the valve assemble.

Yeah, I will be swapping in a whole extension housing from a '95 tranny after I install a few new seals.
