Transmission Case Installation





Note: Lubricate all components as the assembly progresses. Use J 36850 - Transjel(R) lubricant or the equivalent.

1. Apply sealant GM P/N 12345739 (Canadian P/N 10953472) or equivalent to the transmission case to adapter plate mating surface.




2. Do the following in order to install the transmission case and the offset lever:

1. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL in order to keep the 3rd/4th shift shaft from engaging.

2. Install the offset lever.

3. Slide the transmission case onto the gear clusters and the shift rail components.




3. Apply threadlock GM P/N 12346004 (Canadian P/N 10953480) or equivalent to the threads of the shift lever guide bolts.





Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution Fastener Caution.

Note:

* The transmission must stay in neutral.

* Once the case is fully seated the shift rail should move back and forth slightly. If the shift rail does not move, the shift lever guide bolt is pressed against the assembly and not seated in the channel. Insert a second shift lever guide bolt while pulling up on the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th gear main shift rail (3). This will help align the "side-to-side" slot of the shift interlock plate.

4. Fully seat the main case to the front adapter plate assembly. Install the 5th/6th and reverse shift lever guide bolt (1) first. Then install the main shaft rail shift lever guide bolt (2).




5. Install the adapter plate to transmission case bolts and tighten to 48 Nm (36 Ib ft).




6. Install the magnets into the transmission case.




7. Install the offset lever roll pin.




8. Install the shift detent assembly and tighten to 40 Nm (30 Ib ft).




9. Apply sealant GM P/N 12345739 (Canadian P/N 10953472) or the equivalent to the mating surface of the cover plate.




10. Install the spring and roller detent.

11. Install the transmission case cover and the case cover bolts and tighten to 20 Nm (15 Ib ft).




12. Install a new O-ring seal on the reverse lockout body.

13. Install the reverse lockout body and bolt in the cover plate and tighten the bolts to 18 Nm (13 Ib ft).




14. Install a new O-ring seal on the reverse lockout solenoid.

15. Install the reverse lockout solenoid to reverse lockout body assembly, using DT 48827 - shift socket and tighten the solenoid to 40 Nm (30 Ib ft).




16. Install the computer aided gear select solenoid, using DT 48827 - shift socketand tighten the solenoid to 40 Nm (30 Ib ft).
