Center Support & Planetary Sun Gear: Reassembly

NOTE: Clutch discs should be soaked in ATF for 15 minutes prior to installation. Lubricate all parts with ATF. Coat thrust bearings and races with Transjel(R) Transmission Assembly Lubricant or petroleum jelly.

1. Install the center support to the transmission case, aligning the oil passages in the case with the center support mounting bolt holes. See Fig 1 .
   NOTE: Unless retaining direct clutch ring of planetary sun gear is held, brake valve will get off center support, making it impossible to align oil passages with bolt holes.
2. Install the center support bolts. See Fig 2 . Tighten center support bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
