- The thrust washer (615)
- The third clutch hub and bushing assembly (617)

Important: Make sure that the rolled inner lip of the thrust bearing (619) is facing toward the clutch pack.

- The thrust bearing (619).

37. Install the reaction sun gear and shell assembly (620). If the thrust bearing (619) was removed, install this bearing inside the reaction carrier assembly (623).
38. Install the reaction carrier assembly (623).

Important: Make sure that the thrust bearing (640) is installed with the black surface toward the clutch pack.

39. Install the thrust bearing (640).
40. Install the input sun gear (631). The sun gear can be assembled in either direction.
41. Install the snap ring (616).
