8. Install the special tool on the clutch assembly.





9. Be sure the special tool (A) is adjusted to have full contact with the spring retainer (B) on the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th clutches.





10. If either end of the special tool is set over an area of the spring retainer which is unsupported by the return spring, the retainer may be damaged.





11. Set the special tool (A) on the spring retainer (B) of the 3rd clutch so the tool works on the clutch return spring (C).





12. If either end of the special tool is not set over the clutch return spring end (A), the retainer may be damaged.





13. Compress the return spring.





14. Install the snap ring (A).





16. Install the disc spring in the 1st and 3rd clutches in the direction shown.

NOTE: The disc springs of the 2nd and 1st-hold clutches are crimped on the clutch piston; the disc springs are undetached from the piston.
