63. Install test spring from Overdrive Servo Rod Tool 307-162 (T86P-70023-B) in case.

CAUTION: The test spring from the Overdrive Servo Tool is plain in color and has a shorter free height than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.





64. Install overdrive servo piston and overdrive servo rod into case.
65. Install Overdrive Servo Rod Tool 307-162 (T86P-70023-B) and secure using servo cover bolts. Tighten bolts to 9-12 Nm (80-106 in lb).
66. Tighten center screw on tool to 1.13 Nm (10 in lb).

Dial Indicator:





67. Mount Dial Indicator with Bracketry 100-002 (TOOL-4201-Q) or equivalent and position stylus through hole in Overdrive Servo Rod Tool. Make certain indicator stylus has contacted overdrive servo piston on a flat surface. DO NOT contact step on piston. Zero dial indicator.





68. Back off center screw until piston movement stops and read dial indicator. The reading should be 1.8-3.8 mm (0.070-0.149 inch). If measurement does not meet specifications, refer to overdrive piston rod selection chart to determine which overdrive servo rod to install.
69. Install new overdrive servo rod and repeat Steps 77 through 80 to verify amount of piston travel. If within specification, remove tool and test spring.
70. Install low and intermediate servo spring retainer on test spring, from Low/Intermediate Servo Rod Tool 307-161 (T86P-70023-A). Install test spring into case.

CAUTION: The test spring from the Low/Intermediate Servo Rod Tool is plain in color and has a thinner wire diameter than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.





71. If not done prior, remove servo piston small seal from servo band piston. Install servo band piston and rod into case.
72. Install Low/Intermediate Servo Rod Tool 307-161 (T86P-70023-A) and secure using servo cover bolts. Tighten bolts to 9-12 Nm (80-106 in lb).
73. Tighten center screw on tool to 3.4 Nm (30 in lb).

Dial Indicator:





74. Mount Dial Indicator with Bracketry 100-002 (TOOL-4201-C) or equivalent and position stylus through hole in Low/Intermediate Servo Rod Tool. Make certain indicator stylus has contacted servo band piston on a flat surface. Do not contact step on Servo band piston. Zero dial indicator.





75. Back off center screw until piston movement stops and read dial indicator. The reading should be 5.5-6.5 mm (0.216-0.255 inch). If measurement does not meet specifications, refer to low/intermediate servo rod selection chart to determine which rod to install.

NOTE: If a new low and intermediate band is installed, reading should be 5-6 mm (0.197-0.236 inch).

76. Install new piston rod and repeat Steps 71 through 74 to verify amount of piston travel. If within specifications, remove tool and test spring. Remove retainer from test spring.
77. Install servo piston small seal on servo band piston. Install low and intermediate servo spring retainer on low/intermediate operating spring.

CAUTION: The test spring from the Low/Intermediate Servo Rod Tool is plain in color and has a thinner wire diameter than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.




Operating And Test Springs:





78. Install servo piston springs and servo band pistons. Make sure that they are fully seated.

CAUTION: The test spring from the Overdrive Servo Tool is plain in color and has a shorter free height than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.








79. Install servo covers for overdrive and low/intermediate servo using new gaskets and seals. Tighten bolts evenly to 9-12 Nm (80-106 in lb).

CAUTION: Tighten bolts two or three turns at a time to prevent cocking servo covers.

NOTE: Be sure to align tab on servo cover with port on case.

NOTE: When applying regulated 276 kPa (40 psi) air pressure to the appropriate passage, a dull thud should be heard when the clutch or band applies. There should be no hissing sound when clutch or band is applied.





83. Install pump shaft.





84. Connect manual valve link to manual detent lever.
85. Start pump assembly and main control valve body over pump shaft and connect manual valve link to manual shift valve. Push main control valve body down until seated.
