Overdrive Planetary Gears: Disassembly
- Before installing a planetary assembly, the shaft retaining pins should be checked for adequate staking. Check the pins and shafts in the planetary assemblies for loose fit and/or complete disengagement. Install a new planetary assembly if necessary.
- Inspect the pinion gears for damaged or excessively worn teeth and for free rotation.
- Inspect the overdrive one-way clutch inner race and the inner and outer races for scored or damaged surface areas where the rollers contact the races.
- Remove and inspect the No. 2 overdrive planetary thrust bearing on the nose of the overdrive planetary gear carrier assembly.
- Remove the coast clutch-to-overdrive carrier adapter.
- Remove and inspect the overdrive sun gear.
- Inspect the No. 12 bearing for damage.
NOTE:
Individual parts of the planetary carriers are not serviceable.
NOTE:
Inspect the sun gear for damaged or worn teeth.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove the No. 12 bearing from behind the pinion gears or transmission damage can occur.
