General Notes

  1. Select the adjustment shims, referring to BEARING PRELOAD  and REDUCTION GEAR BEARING PRELOAD  .
  2. If the drive plates or 2-4 brake band are replaced with new ones, soak the new part in ATF for at least two hours before installation.
  3. Before assembly, apply ATF to all seal rings, rotating parts, O-rings, and sliding parts.
  4. All O-rings, seals, and gaskets must be replaced with the new ones included in the overhaul kit.
  5. Use petroleum jelly, not grease, when assembling again.
  6. When it is necessary to replace a bushing, replace the subcomponent that includes the bushing.
  7. Assemble the housing within 10 minutes after applying sealant, and allow it to cure for at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the transaxle with ATF.
