  2. Turbine shaft seals must be sized using Seal Sizer (J-36418-2A) after installation. Install aligning pins in 2 opposing pump bolt holes in case. Ensure thrust washer is installed on rear of oil pump. Thrust washer can be retained using petroleum jelly.
  3. Install pump into case, aligning filter and pressure regulator holes with holes in case. Install retaining bolts. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Place transmission in a horizontal position.
  4. Turbine shaft should rotate by hand. If turbine shaft will not rotate, loosen pump retaining bolts and attempt to rotate shaft again. If shaft now turns, reverse and input assemblies have not been indexed properly or some other assembly problem has occurred, such as thrust washer not positioned properly.
  5. Transmission end play should be checked. See TRANSMISSION END PLAY CHECK  under TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY. Transmission end play should be .005-.036" (.13-.91 mm). If transmission end play is not within specification, thrust washer must be changed between oil pump and input housing.
  6. Select proper thickness thrust washer. See OIL PUMP THRUST WASHER SPECIFICATIONS  . Install thrust washer, and recheck end play. Install torque converter. Ensure converter hub is aligned with oil pump. Install torque converter retaining strap to hold converter.
