Part 1

CAUTION: Before beginning assembly, carry out and inspect the following:

When building up subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets and seals.

All fasteners must be tightened to the torque specification indicated. In addition to appearing in the section, the necessary torque measurements can be found in the General Specifications Chart.

When building up subassemblies, each component part should be lubricated with clean transmission fluid. It is also good practice to lubricate the subassemblies as they are installed in the case.

Needle bearings, thrust washers and seals should be lightly coated with petroleum jelly during subassembly buildup or transmission assembly.

Many components and surfaces in the transmission are precision machined. Careful handling during disassembly, cleaning, inspection and assembly can prevent unnecessary damage to machined surfaces.

5. Install the No. 8 bearing.






6. Install the direct clutch.

7. NOTE: The reverse band support retaining ring is used for assembly purposes during production. The reverse band support retaining ring is not required during assembly, it will not affect the operation of the transmission.






Install the reverse band support retaining ring.

8. NOTE: Make sure the band is seated on the anchor pins.






Install the reverse band.

9. NOTE: The planetary assembly and planetary gear support cannot be installed unless the notch cut in the planetary gear support is aligned with the overdrive band anchor pin.

NOTE: The top of the planetary gear support must be below the snap ring groove.






Install the planetary assembly and planetary gear support as a unit.
- Rotate the output shaft to fully seat the planetary assembly.

10. NOTE: The planet support spring must be compressed and installed below the snap ring groove. When the planet support spring is installed correctly both ends of the spring will be visible.






Install the case to planet support spring located at the 1 o'clock position.

11. NOTE: When installing the center support retaining ring, the opening should be toward the hole in the case where the turbine shaft speed (TSS) sensor would go.






Install the center support retaining ring.

22. Install the intermediate clutch pressure plate.

23. NOTE: Before assembly, soak the new clutch discs in clean transmission fluid.






Install the intermediate clutch pack and selective steel plate.










24. Using the special tool, check the intermediate clutch clearance.
1. Position the special tool on the pump case mounting surface.
2. Maintaining downward pressure, use a depth micrometer to measure and verify intermediate clutch clearance is within specification.
If the intermediate clutch is not within specification, install a correct selective plate.










25. Using the special tool, measure end clearance for the No. 1 front pump thrust washer.
1. Position the special tool on the pump case mounting surface.
2. Maintaining downward pressure, use a depth micrometer to measure end play clearance.
Use the No. 1 thrust washer chart to select the correct washer.






26. If equipped, install the intermediate clutch anti-rattle clip.






27. Install the intermediate clutch return spring support with the lip facing upward and place the wave spring on the retainer.
1. Install the intermediate clutch return spring support.
