Rod End Clip:

Beginning with serial number 3TC152D, all THM 700-R4 transmissions are being built with a new rod end clip (P/N 8654037) - see illustration below.
NOTICE: When installing the outside manual linkage nut on a THM 700-R4 transmission, do not use an air powered tool. Using an air powered tool to perform this function may rotate the manual shaft with enough force to mislocate the rod end clip. If this clip becomes loose or mislocated, it will be necessary to remove the oil pan to either replace or reinstall the rod end clip.
