Note: Cleanliness is an important factor. Before assembly, all parts should be thoroughly cleaned in cleaning fluid. Allow the parts to air dry. Wiping cloths or rags should not be used to dry parts. Lint may be deposited on the parts which may cause later trouble. Inspect all parts. If any parts are worn or damaged, use new parts for replacement. Replace all seals with new seals.

1. Fasten the transmission housing to Tooling (A).

27. Apply 5P-0960 Molybdenum Grease to two retaining rings (61). Align the two retaining rings so that the retaining rings are centered on the shaft.

Illustration 30

g00680235

Note: Make sure that two retaining rings (61) are centered on shaft (32). If the two retaining rings are not centered correctly, the retaining rings will be damaged when shaft (32) is pressed into bushing (52).

28. Use a press to install shaft (32) in bushing (52). Install the shaft until the shoulder of the shaft contacts with the bushing.

29. Use Tooling (K) to install retaining ring (51).

Illustration 32 g00673757

30. Reposition the shaft, as shown. Use Tooling (D) to install retaining ring (50).

Illustration 33 g00680272

31. Install plate (48) on shaft (32).

Illustration 40

g00680512

Note: Make sure that friction discs (40) and clutch plates (41) are dried prior to assembly.

e. Install friction discs (40) and clutch plates (41) on gear (43). Install the friction discs and the clutch plates in alternating order. Start with a friction disc and end with a clutch plate.

f. Position a straight edge on the end of shaft (32), as shown. Use a caliper to measure the distance from the end of the shaft to the top of gear (43). Record this dimension as dimension (V).

Illustration 42

g00680536

g. Position a straight edge on the end of shaft (32), as shown. Use a caliper to measure the distance from the end of the shaft to the face of the last clutch plate (41). Record this dimension as dimension (W).

h. Subtract dimension (V) from dimension (W). The difference is value (B). Value (B) in transmissions with ten plates must be 10.70 ± 0.10 mm (.421 ± .004 inch). Value (B) in transmissions with 11 plates must be 7.90 ± 0.10 mm (.311 ± .004 inch). If value (B) is not correct, change the thickness of the last clutch plate and the last friction disc. Refer to the Parts Manual for further information.

33. Use the following procedure to determine the end play of gear (43) and gear (34):

40. Install flange (45) on shaft (32). Position the flange on the belleville springs.

Illustration 49 g00680736

41. Install a new backup ring (44) on gear (43). Install the backup ring with the sealing lip toward flange (45). Apply 5P-0960 Molybdenum Grease on backup ring (44).

42. Install gear (43) on shaft (32).
