1. Install the special tool onto the mainshaft.
2. Lubricate the following parts with ATF:
- Splines and threads of the mainshaft.
- Splines of the mainshaft idler gear.
- Old conical spring washer and old locknut.





3. Install the mainshaft idler gear (A), old conical spring washer (B), and old locknut (C) on the mainshaft (D), and tighten the locknut to 226 Nm (23.0 kgf-m, 166 ft. lbs.).

NOTE:
- Do not tap the idler gear to install.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the locknut. Do not use an impact wrench.





4. Install the park lever (A) and park lever stop (B) on the control shaft (C), then install the lock bolt with the new lock washer (D). Do not bend the lock tab of the lock washer until step 18.
5. Install the park pawl shaft (E), park pawl spring (F), park pawl (G), and stop shaft (H) on the transmission housing.
6. Lubricate the following parts with ATF:
- Threads and splines of the countershaft.
- Old conical spring washer and old locknut.
- Areas where the park gear contacts the conical spring washer.
7. Install the park gear (I), old conical spring washer (J), and old locknut (K) on the countershaft.
8. Lift the park pawl up, and engage it with the park gear, then tighten the locknut to 226 Nm (23.0 kgf-m, 166 ft. lbs.).

NOTE:
- Do not tap the park gear to install.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the locknut. Do not use an impact wrench.
- Countershaft locknut has left-hand threads.

9. Remove the locknuts and conical spring washers from the mainshaft and countershaft.
10. Lubricate the threads of the shafts, the new locknuts and the new conical spring washers with ATF.





11. Install the new conical spring washers (A) with facing stamped mark side up in the direction shown, and install the new mainshaft locknut (B), the new countershaft locknut (C), and the new secondary shaft locknut (D).
12. Tighten the locknuts to 167 Nm (17.0 kgf-m, 123 ft. lbs.).

NOTE:
- Be sure to install the conical spring washers in the direction shown.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the locknut. Do not use an impact wrench.
- Countershaft and secondary shaft locknuts have left-hand threads.

13. Remove the special tool from the mainshaft.





14. Stake the locknuts into the shafts with a punch.





15. Install the control level (A) on the control shaft (B), and install the bolt with the new lock washer (C), then bend the lock tab of the lock washer against the bolt head.





16. Set the park lever in the P position, then verify that the park pawl (A) engages the park gear (B).
17. If the park pawl does not engage fully, check the distance (C) between the pawl shaft (D) and the park lever roller pin (E).
