ASSEMBLY

31. Install OD pressure plate flat snap ring (3)(Figure 28).










32. Measure OD clutch pack clearance. Set up dial indicator (1)(Figure 29) on top of the OD/Reverse pressure plate.
33. Zero dial indicator and apply 30 psi (206 kPa) air pressure to the overdrive clutch hose on Tool. Measure and record OD clutch pack measurement in four (4) places, 90° apart.
34. Take average of four measurements and compare with OD clutch pack clearance specification. The overdrive (OD) clutch pack clearance is 0.491-2.345 mm 0.019-.092 in.

If not within specifications, the clutch is not assembled properly. There is no adjustment for the OD clutch clearance.










35. Install reverse clutch pack (two frictions/one steel) (1,2)(Figure 30).










36. Install reverse clutch reaction plate with the flat side down towards reverse clutch.










37. Refer to the exploded view as necessary when performing the following steps(Figure 32).

39. Pry up reverse reaction plate (4)(Figure 34) to seat against snap ring (2).










40. Set up a dial indicator (1)(Figure 35) on the reverse clutch pack (2).










41. Using moderate pressure, press down and hold (near indicator) reverse clutch disc (2) with screwdriver or suitable tool and zero dial indicator (1). When releasing pressure, indicator should advance (0.005-0.010 in.) as clutch pack relaxes.
42. Apply 30 psi (206 kPa) air pressure to the reverse clutch hose on Input Clutch Pressure Fixture. Measure and record reverse clutch pack measurement in four places, 90° apart.
43. Take average of four measurements and compare with reverse clutch pack clearance specification. The reverse clutch pack clearance is 0.76-1.245 mm (0.030-0.049 in.). Select the proper reverse clutch snap ring to achieve specifications:















NOTE: The No. 2 bearing is a light press fit into the clutch hub. There are 5 tabs with dimples that can be pressed in by hand.
