Forward Clutch Assembly: Assembly
- 1.NOTE: If a new planetary assembly is being installed, the new planetary assembly may not come with the snap ring installed.
Install the planetary assembly snap ring, if necessary.
- 5.
Install the sun gear into the planet assembly with the T1 bearing facing down and the recessed part of the gear up.
- 7.
Lightly coat the O-ring seals with clean transmission fluid and install the forward clutch piston into the forward clutch drum.
- 9.
Install a new O-ring seal onto the forward clutch balance dam. Lightly coat the O-ring seal with clean transmission fluid.
- 10.
Align the marks made during disassembly and install the balance dam into the forward clutch drum.
- 11.NOTE: Prior to releasing the Clutch Spring Compressor, make sure that the snap ring is fully seated.
Using the Clutch Spring Compressor, slightly collapse the balance dam to install the retaining ring. Install the retaining ring.
- 12.NOTE: Friction and steel plate quantity will vary based on engine displacement. For additional information, refer to the Clutch Plate Quantity chart in the Specifications .
Soak the new forward clutch plates in clean transmission fluid.
- 13.
Install the new forward clutch plates, starting with the wave spring then a steel plate and alternating between friction and steel plates.
- 15.NOTE: All forward clutch plates, friction and steel are of a wave-type design.
Install the forward clutch assembly into the Clutch End Play Gauge and install the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture and position the plunger so it fits into the opening of the snap ring.
- 16.
With the Dial Indicator Gauge set at zero, lift up on the steel pressure plate so it is against the select fit snap ring. Record this reading as reading A.
- 17.
Rotate the forward clutch assembly 180 degrees from the opening of the snap ring, take a second reading and record this reading as reading B.Description Reading Reading A Reading B Add reading A to reading B for a total end clearance Divide the total reading by 2 for an average end clearance
- 18.NOTE: If the final measurement is not within specification, install a new snap ring until the correct specification is achieved.
- 0.71-1.10 mm (0.028-0.043 in)
If the free pack end clearance between the bottom of the snap ring and the top of the pressure plate is high, remeasure using a thicker select fit snap ring. If the free pack end clearance between the bottom of the snap ring and the top of the pressure plate is low, remeasure using a thinner select fit snap ring.
- 19.
Install the sun gear and planetary gearset into the forward clutch drum. Make sure it snaps and locks in place.
