Part 2
ASSEMBLY ContinuedIDENTIFICATION OF THRUST BEARING, THRUST RACES, AND THRUST WASHERS
CAUTION: Be sure to install the thrust bearing in the correct direction as shown.
36. Check the installation direction of the thrust bearing number 5, and install it on the hub of the planetary reverse sun gear.
CAUTION: Use care to install the thrust bearing in the proper direction.
37. Attach thrust bearing number 6 to the inside of the overdrive clutch hub using petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Then install the assembly in the reverse and overdrive clutch.
38. Install the reverse and overdrive clutch.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the thrust bearing in the correct direction as shown.
39. Check the installation direction of thrust bearing number 7, and install it on the reverse clutch retainer.
40. Use special tool MB990938 to tap the input shaft rear bearing in the rear cover.
41. Install the seal rings (four pieces) in the grooves of the rear cover.
42. Measure the end play of the under drive sun gear by the following procedures:
1) Install the thinnest thrust race number 8 [thickness 1.6 mm (0.063 inch); part number MD707267] on thrust bearing number 7.
2) Install the rear cover on the transaxle case and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 23 ± 3 Nm (17 ± 2 ft-lb)
3) Turn over the transaxle case so that the installation surface of the torque converter housing is facing up.
4) Install the under drive clutch hub on the under drive sun gear.
5) Measure end play of the underdrive sun gear and record the measurement value.
Standard value of end play (Reference):
0.25 - 0.45 mm (0.010 - 0.017 inch)
6) After taking the measurement in steps (5), take out the installed parts in steps (1) through (4).
43. Install the O-rings (six pieces).
44. Install the direct clutch accumulator piston and spring and then install the O-ring.
NOTE: Accumulator spring is identified as shown in the illustration.
45. Select a thrust race number 8 whose thickness corresponds to the measured values taken in step 40 from the table below. Install it on thrust bearing number 7.
CAUTION:
^ Completely degrease the FIPG-applied surface so that water and oil including the old sealant cannot adhere to the surface coated with the sealant. Never touch the degreased surface by hand.
^ Make sure the starting point and the ending point are about the middle between the bolts.
46. Apply a 1.6 mm (0.06 inch) diameter bead of sealant to the illustrated position of the rear cover.
Specified sealant:
Mitsubishi Part No. MD974421 or equivalent
NOTE: Be sure to install the case quickly while the sealant is wet (within 15 minutes). Leaks will occur if the rear cover is installed after the sealant dries.
47. Install the rear cover, and tighten its mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 23 ± 3 Nm (17 ± 2 ft-lb)
NOTE: After installation, keep the sealed area away from ATF for approximately one hour.
CAUTION: Install the thrust bearing with the indicated side facing down.
48. Install the thrust race number 12 and thrust bearing number 11.
49. Finger-tighten the anchor plug and a new O-ring, then install the reduction brake band and direct clutch simultaneously.
50. Make sure that the direct clutch can be rotated only in the direction indicated in the illustration.
NOTE: If the clutch can be rotated in the other direction, remove and reinstall it correctly.
51. Tighten the anchor plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 98 ± 15 Nm (72 ± 11 ft-lb)
52. Install the direct planetary carrier assembly.
53. Install the reduction brake spring and piston in position in the transmission case, then install the snap ring.
54. Adjust the reduction brake piston using the following procedure:
1) Remove the nut from the reduction brake piston.
2) Install the stopper of the special tool MB991633 to hold the reduction brake piston against rotation.
3) Using a torque wrench fitted with the socket of the special tool MB991633, tighten the adjusting rod to 10 Nm (89 in-lb), then loosen it. Repeat this operation twice. Tighten the adjusting rod to 5 Nm (43 in-lb), then turn it back 5-1/2 (180 degrees) to 5-3/4 (270 degrees) turns.
4) Install the nut on the adjusting rod and tighten the nut to 19 ± 3 Nm (14 ± 2 ft-lb) using the wrench of the special tool MB991633.
55. Install the reduction brake piston cover and snap ring.
56. Install the parking pawl, spacer, and spring. Then insert the parking pawl shaft.
57. Install the parking roller support, and then insert the parking roller support shafts (two pieces).
58. Install the underdrive clutch hub to the underdrive sun gear.
CAUTION: Be sure to install the thrust bearing in the correct direction as shown.
59. Check the installation direction of thrust bearing number 2, and install it on the underdrive clutch hub.
