CAUTION: Do not remove the overdrive one-way clutch. Damage to the clutch may occur if it is removed.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the No. 12 bearing from behind the pinion gears.
NOTE: Individual parts of the planetary carriers are not serviceable.
NOTE: The overdrive one-way clutch is serviced with the center shaft assembly.
NOTE: Inspect the one-way clutch.
  • Temporarily insert the overdrive planetary gear carrier assembly into the one-way clutch rollers for verification of the one-way clutch.
  • The planetary gear must rotate counterclockwise and hold when rotated clockwise.
  • Remove the planetary gear carrier assembly.
  • Inspect for cracks in the roller cage and wear on the roller clutch, and the press fit of the one-way clutch to the center shaft.
NOTE: Inspect the overdrive planetary.
  • Inspect the pinion gears for damaged or excessively worn teeth, and for free rotation.
  • Check the pins and shafts in the planetary assemblies for loose fit and/or complete disengagement.
  • Inspect the overdrive one-way clutch inner race, and the inner and outer races for scored or damaged surface areas where the rollers contact the races.
  • Inspect the sun gear for damaged or worn teeth.
  • Inspect the No. 2 bearing for damage.
  • Thoroughly clean all parts and blow dry with moisture-free compressed air.
  • Inspect the sun gear for damaged or worn teeth.
