18. Low and Reverse Clutch Piston and Output Carrier Assembly Removal

Low and Reverse Clutch Piston and Output Carrier Assembly Removal





Notice: The bolts used to install the torque converter housing and the low and reverse clutch housing to the transmission case are similar in size and color. The low and reverse clutch housing bolts are, however, shorter than the torque converter housing bolts. Installing torque converter housing bolts into the low and reverse clutch housing may damage the transmission case. To help avoid torque converter housing bolts from being installed into the low and reverse clutch housing and vice versa, store the bolts separately. These bolts must be installed into their correct locations to help avoid transmission case damage.

Important: Remove the low and reverse clutch housing - 4WD using the same procedure as when removing a low and reverse clutch housing - 2WD.

1. Remove 4 bolts (1).
2. Remove 12 bolts (2).





Notice: To help avoid damaging the park pawl return spring, make sure the park pawl support pin is not retained in and removed with the low and reverse clutch housing.

3. Disengage the low and reverse clutch housing (1) from main housing locating pin (4) and pawl support pin (5).
4. Remove the low and reverse clutch housing (1).
5. Remove and discard the gasket (2).





Caution: Always remove or install the output carrier assembly by holding onto the output shaft. Holding onto the output carrier assembly instead of the output shaft may allow the output shaft to fall causing personal injury and/or property damage.

6. Remove, as a unit, the output shaft (2) and the output carrier assembly (1).
7. Remove the output shaft (2) from the output carrier assembly (1).
8. Remove the output sun gear (4).

Important: The thrust bearing assembly may stick to the output shaft or the output sun gear.

9. Remove the thrust bearing (3) from the output shaft (2) or the output sun gear (4).
