Intermediate Clutch Selective Steel Plate Procedure

  1. With proper intermediate plates selected and installed, perform end clearance check for No. 1 thrust washer using the same tools.



    NOTE: Maintain downward pressure on clutch pack while measuring depth.

  1. Measure the intermediate clutch clearance using Depth Micrometer D80P- 4201-A or equivalent and Gauge Bar T80L-77003-A.

    Set the gauge bar across the pump case mounting surfaces. The depth at the intermediate clutch separator plate is:

    Check the clearance again 180 degrees opposite to ensure the average depth is within tolerance.

    If the depth is not within tolerance, the following size selective steel plates are available:

    Selective Steel Plates
    1.80-1.7mm (0.071-0.067 inch)
    2.05-1.95mm (0.081-0.077 inch)
    2.31-2.20mm (0.091-0.087 inch)
    2.56-2.46mm (0.101-0.097 inch)

    Install correct plate and check clearance.

 

Transmission Selective Thrust Washer Procedure

  1. Position the Depth Micrometer D80P-4201-A or equivalent on Gauge Bar T80L-77003-A so that the depth is measured at the reverse clutch drum thrust face. Check the end play 180 degrees opposite to determine the average depth. Reference selective thrust washers chart under Specifications in this section.



  1. Install No. 1 thrust washer (7D014) on pump body using petroleum jelly to hold in place.



  1. Install oil pump gasket (7A136). Make sure oil pump gasket is positioned and case passages are covered.
  1. To maintain pump-to-case alignment, use a fabricated M8-1.25mm bolt (head removed) as a guide. Install in the 12 o'clock position using petroleum jelly on pump-to-case seal surfaces to aid pump installation.



  1. To aid assembly, grasp input shaft and wiggle shaft while pressing down on pump.



  1. Remove alignment bolt and install pump-to-case bolts. Alternate bolt tightening to "draw" the pump fully into the case. Tighten to 20-26 Nm (15-19 lb-ft).

    Place transmission in the horizontal position.



  1. Install parking pawl (7A441) and parking pawl return spring (7D070). Slide parking pawl shaft (7D071) into case through parking pawl.

  1. Install manual lever shaft retaining pin (7B210).
  1. Install oil screen into case (head first).



  1. Install reverse band servo spring (7D031), reverse band servo piston and rod (7D189). To determine the correct length of the reverse servo piston, proceed as follows:
    1. Lubricate the reverse piston seal to facilitate assembly and to prevent damage to the seal.
    1. Install the reverse servo piston and return spring. Do not install the piston cover or retaining ring.
    1. Install Servo Piston Selection Tool T80L-77030-A. Tighten the band apply bolt on Servo Piston Selection Tool T80L-77030-A to 5.6 Nm (50 lb-in).



    1. Attach Dial Indicator with Bracketry TOOL-4201-C or equivalent and position the indicator stem on the flat portion of the piston. Zero the dial indicator.



    1. Thread the bolt out of the selector tool until the piston stops against the bottom of the tool.
    1. Read the amount of piston travel on the dial indicator.
      • If the travel is 2.845-6.020mm (0.112-0.237 inch), the piston length is within specification.
      • If the travel is not within specification, selective pistons are available in the following lengths:
        • ID
        • 74.56mm (2.936 inch) 1 groove
