WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Bend the lock tab of the reverse shift fork washer (925) on the reverse shift fork (924).
- Remove the reverse shift fork retainer bolt (926) and washer (925) from the reverse shift fork (924).
- As a complete assembly, lift straight up the mainshaft complete assembly (640), the output shaft assembly (535) and 1st/2nd clutch shaft assembly (755) until they are clear of from the torque converter housing assembly (150) as shown.
- Remove the 2nd clutch housing thrust bearing (750) from the torque converter housing (150).
CAUTION:
This procedure requires 3 technicians. Each technician needs to remove or install a complete shaft assembly in order to prevent personal injury.
NOTE:
Do not allow the reverse shift fork to fall on the floor during the removal of the 3 shaft assemblies. The reverse shift fork will fall free from the output shaft assembly, possibly damaging the fork end of the shaft.
