Disassembly and Assembly of Subassemblies

NOTE: Before beginning Assembly, perform/inspect the following:

• All fasteners must be tightened to the torque indicated in the text. In addition to appearing in the text, the necessary torques can be found under Specifications .
• 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 build up 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.

When building up subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets and seals.
