17. Install the output shaft thrust washer (No. 11).
- Coat the output shaft thrust washer with petroleum jelly.

CAUTION: The tabs on the output shaft thrust washer (No. 11) point into the case. Make sure the thrust washer is properly seated.





18. Install the park gear.





19. Install the low/reverse brake drum.
- Rotate the low/reverse brake drum clockwise to install.





20. If not already installed during subassembly, install the No. 10B needle bearing onto the output shaft ring gear and front band servo piston and pin assembly.
- Coat the needle bearing with petroleum jelly.





21. Install the output shaft through the output shaft park gear.





22. Install the output shaft ring gear and output shaft hub.





23. Install a new output shaft retaining ring.

CAUTION: Always install a new output shaft retaining ring.





24. Install the output shaft sleeve.

NOTE: Install the output shaft sleeve with the cone facing up.





25. Install low/reverse planetary carrier needle bearings.
1. Install low/reverse planetary carrier needle bearing (No. 8) on the front face of the low/reverse planetary.
2. Install low/reverse planetary carrier needle bearing (No. 9) on the rear face of the low/reverse planetary.
- Coat the low/reverse planet carrier needle bearing (No. 8) and low/reverse planetary carrier needle bearing (No. 9) with petroleum jelly.





26. Install the low/reverse planetary assembly with No. 8 and No. 9 low/reverse planetary carrier needle bearings into the output shaft ring gear.

CAUTION: Make sure needle bearings stay in place.





27. Install the low/reverse retaining ring into the low/reverse brake drum groove

CAUTION: The low/reverse brake drum must be pulled forward to install the low/reverse planet retaining ring.





28. Install the low/reverse band over the low/reverse brake drum.

CAUTION: Make sure band is resting on the two anchor pins in the case.





29. Temporarily install the low/reverse band servo piston and rod to hold the low/reverse band in position.





30. Install the previously assembled forward geartrain assembly.
31. Rotate transmission assembly so that the converter housing surface is facing up.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE LOCK PIN ON BENCH-MOUNTED HOLDING FIXTURE IS SECURE.





32. Select the intermediate brake drum thrust bearing (No. 4) as follows:
1. Install a Gauge Bar on case assembly shoulder.
2. Set depth micrometer on top of gauge bar.





33. Calculate intermediate brake drum thrust bearing thickness:
- Extend the micrometer probe until it contacts the intermediate brake drum thrust bearing surface. Record the reading, this is dimension A.





34. Place the micrometer on the opposite side of Gauge Bar and repeat measurement. This is dimension B.





35. Add dimensions A and B, divide the total of A and B by 2 Then subtract the gauge bar thickness 17.78 mm (0.700 inch). This is dimension C. Use dimension C and the following chart to select the correct thickness. (A+B) - 17.78 (0.0700) = Dimension C. Reference end play is 0.21-0.51 mm (0.008-0.020 inch)





36. Install the intermediate servo actuating lever.





37. Install the intermediate band actuating lever shaft through the intermediate servo actuating lever.

NOTE: The intermediate band lever shaft is shorter than the front band lever shaft.





38. Install the intermediate band apply strut on the intermediate servo actuating lever.





39. Install the intermediate band.

NOTE: Make sure that the intermediate apply strut is aligned with the band notch.





40. Install the intermediate band anchor strut and the intermediate band adjustment screw.

NOTE:
- Use the intermediate band adjusting screw as a temporary alignment guide.
- The intermediate and front band anchor struts and band adjustment screws are the same.





41. Install the selected intermediate brake drum thrust washer (No. 4) on the center support.
- Coat the intermediate brake drum thrust washer with petroleum jelly.





42. Install the center support.
1. Position the center support into the intermediate brake and direct clutch drum.
2. Temporarily insert input shaft and gently wiggle it until the center support is seated against the case shoulder, then remove the input shaft.

CAUTION: Do not apply pressure to the center support while installing. Damage to sealing rings could result. Make sure the rear planetary support is seated.
