ALL TRANSMISSIONS
NOTE:
Coat the reverse clutch piston seals with petroleum jelly.
WARNING:
Do not overcompress the return spring, damage to the spring will occur.
NOTE:
The use of petroleum jelly will hold the No. 17 thrust bearing or washer in place during assembly.
WARNING:
Be careful when installing the output shaft not to damage the seals or a transmission leak could occur.
CAUTION:
The Torx® screw has a threadlocking compound. If the screw is removed, it must be discarded and a new screw installed.
NOTE:
Make sure the dimple on the parking guide support plate is facing inward.
FIXED YOKE TRANSMISSIONS
SLIP YOKE TRANSMISSIONS
ALL TRANSMISSIONS
CAUTION:
Do not apply air pressure to move the low/reverse piston without first installing the friction plates and the snap ring, damage to the snap ring will occur.
NOTE:
Prior to installing the fluid filter, make sure that the old seal is not stuck in the case.
NOTE:
Do not discard the fluid pan gasket. It is reusable.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the fluid pump gear O-ring when installing the torque converter.
CAUTION:
Make sure the converter hub is fully engaged in the front pump support and gear and rotates freely. Do not damage the hub seal.
CAUTION:
If the torque converter slides out, the hub seal may be damaged.
CAUTION:
Use care when installing the torque converter to avoid damage to the front pump stator support seal.
NOTE:
Check the converter crankshaft pilot for nicks or damaged surfaces that can cause interference when installing the transmission to the engine. Check the converter impeller hub for nicks or sharp edges that can damage the pump seal.
