U760E U760F Automatic Transmission Rear Multi-disc Clutch Assembly

Function: Engages specific gear ratios (often overdrive/reverse) by locking planetary gearset elements via hydraulic pressure.

Key Components:

• Clutch Drum: Hardened aluminum with precision splines (OEM-specific coating)

• Friction Plates: Carbon-fiber or paper-based with grooved design for cooling

• Steel Plates: Laser-cut with anti-stick coatings

• Piston Assembly: High-temp seals (Vitron/HNBR) for 100+ psi apply pressure

Failure Modes:

• Plate Glazing: Overheating causes slippage (P0776 codes)

• Seal Leaks: Worn piston seals lead to delayed engagement

• Drum Warpage: Distorts under load (>0.1mm runout = replace)

Critical Specs:

1. Pack clearance: 0.5-1.2mm (varies by model)

2. Apply time: <0.5 sec (measured with scan tool)

Pro Tip: Soak new friction plates in ATF for 30 mins – dry plates absorb fluid during initial engagement, causing shift flare.
