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. The necessary torques 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.


1. Use the special tools to install the rear case bushing if removed.
1. Position the rear case bushing and the special tool inside the case.
2. Assemble the special tools through the back of the case.





2. Place the transmission in the vertical position.
3. Coat the No. 9 case rear bearing with petroleum jelly and install on the case boss.





4. CAUTION: Be sure the No. 7 and No. 8 needle bearings and direct clutch hub are installed as shown in Subassembly. Internal damage and shift problems may occur.

Install the output shaft and output shaft ring gear.





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 and 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 the planet support spring located at the 1 o'clock position.





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

Install the center support retaining ring.





12. Install the forward clutch sun gear, the No. 5 forward clutch sun gear 2 piece bearing and the reverse sun gear.





13. Install the No. 4 forward clutch hub bearing.





14. Install the intermediate stub shaft.





15. Install the forward clutch hub and the No. 3 forward clutch hub front bearing.
