Intermediate Clutch Assembly: Disassembly

NOTE: The intermediate clutch plate quantity is model dependent on engine size. Check the clutch plate quantity charts in specifications for the correct clutch plate quantity. Failure to install the correct clutch plate quantity will result in transmission failure.

NOTE: The intermediate clutch piston is model dependent on engine size due to the different quantity of intermediate clutch plates. If installing a new intermediate clutch piston, check to make sure the height of the new piston is the same as the original piston. Failure to install the correct piston will result in transmission failure.
