Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tools Required
- J 7872 Magnetic Base Indicator Set. See Special Tools and Equipment .
- J 23327 Clutch Spring Compressor. See Special Tools and Equipment .
- J 37282 Underdrive Brake Piston Compressor. See Special Tools and Equipment .
- Use the J 7872 in order to measure the underdrive brake assembly (1) clearance.
- Apply 392-785 kPa (57-114 psi) of compressed air into the underdrive brake apply passage (2). Measure the underdrive brake assembly clearance.
- The underdrive brake assembly clearance should fall within 1.070-2.050 mm (0.0421-0.0807 in).
- If the underdrive brake assembly clearance does not fall within specification, inspect the underdrive brake assembly components for excessive wear or damage.
- Install a J 23327 with a J 37282 and compress the underdrive brake piston return spring until the underdrive brake piston return spring snap ring (1) can be removed.
- Remove the underdrive brake piston return spring snap ring (1) from the transaxle case.
- Remove the J 23327 and the J 37282 from the transaxle case.
- Remove the underdrive brake flange (2), the three plates (1) and the three discs (3) from the transaxle case.
- Remove the underdrive brake piston return spring (2) from the transaxle case (1).
- Remove the two seal rings (1) from the underdrive clutch drum support (2).
CAUTION: Refer to SAFETY GLASSES CAUTION in Cautions and Notices.
Important: When using compressed air to remove components, air pressure should not exceed 98 kPa (14 psi).
- Remove the underdrive brake piston from the transaxle case by slowly applying low pressure compressed air into the underdrive brake apply passage (2).
