Transaxle Final Reassembly
NOTE:
For identification and location of thrust bearings and thrust washers, see Figure
.
- Install low/reverse clutch plates, dish plate, pressure plate and snap ring. See Fig 1 . Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between bottom steel clutch plate and transaxle case. See Fig 2 . Clearance should be .067-.083" (1.70-2.10 mm).
- If clearance is not within specification, select proper thickness pressure plate. Pressure plates range in thickness from .079" (2.00 mm) to .134" (3.40 mm), in .008" (.20 mm) increments.
- Install forward clutch hub lower thrust washer into transaxle case with Black side of washer facing upward. Install forward clutch and low/reverse clutch assembly. See Figure . Install forward clutch hub upper thrust washer. Install coasting clutch thrust washer on coasting clutch hub. Install coasting clutch hub.
- Before installing forward clutch hub and ring gear, ensure sprag is correctly installed. While holding forward clutch hub, ring gear (facing upward) should only rotate counterclockwise. Install forward clutch ring gear thrust washer. Install forward clutch hub and ring gear assembly into transaxle case.
- Place rear planetary thrust bearing on outside of rear planetary gear. Place rear sun gear thrust bearing inside rear planetary gear. Install rear sun gear in rear planetary gear. Install assembly in transaxle.
- Install rear sun gear front thrust bearing, with Black side of bearing facing upward. Install front planetary gear assembly. Install primary sun gear lower thrust washer. Install low/reverse clutch piston spring retainer. Align low/reverse clutch piston and return springs to transaxle case gutters.
- Coat low/reverse clutch piston with ATF. Push down on piston and retainer assembly and install snap ring (appropriate spring compressor may be necessary). Ensure low/reverse clutch piston retainer tab aligns with 2-4 servo band piston rod opening. Position low/reverse clutch piston snap ring on top of low/reverse clutch piston. Ensure low one-way clutch is assembled correctly. Install low one-way clutch into front planetary gear. Rotate low one-way clutch clockwise to aid installation. See Fig 3 . Ensure low one-way clutch rotates clockwise only after installation. Install low one-way clutch snap ring. Install primary sun gear lower thrust washer onto front planetary gear. Install primary sun gear bearing race, sun gear and sun gear bearing.
- Install 3-4 clutch hub into transaxle case. See Figure . Install 3-4 clutch drum bearing and input shaft upper thrust washer onto 3-4 clutch drum and input shaft assembly.
- Install reverse clutch assembly onto 3-4 clutch assembly and install into transaxle case. Adjust total end play and reverse clutch drum end play.
