A/T - A140 Wrong Overdrive Planet Causes No-Reverse

TRANSMISSION: A-140

BULLETIN: # 042

SUBJECT: No Reverse

DATE: February 1991

TOYOTA A-140

Using The Wrong Overdrive Planet Will Give You No Reverse

(Figure 1) Putting a late planet in an early transaxle is an easy mistake because it'll fit easily. Putting an early planet in a late transaxle isn't so easy, but it can be done. The early planet has a shoulder that interferes with the over-run frictions.
