Transaxle Reassembly

NOTE: See NEEDLE BEARING, SNAP RING, THRUST WASHER & SHIM ID  table for specifications. For component locations, see Fig 2.
  1. Install revolution sensor into transaxle case. Install differential side oil seal in converter housing with .216-.259" (5.50-6.60 mm) of seal protruding from housing. Install differential side oil seal in transaxle case with 0.02" (0.5 mm) of seal recessed inside housing.
  2. Install the parking actuator support to the transaxle case with the beveled edge facing inward. Install parking pawl on transaxle case and secure with parking shaft. Install the return spring. See Figure. Perform Differential Side Bearing Preload, Reduction Gear Bearing Preload and Output Shaft End Play adjustment procedures. Refer to TRANSAXLE ADJUSTMENTS .
  3. Remove paper from bearing retainer. Apply petroleum jelly to thrust washer, bearing race and needle bearing. Install thrust washer on bearing retainer. Ensure bearing retainer seal rings are not spread. Align teeth of low-reverse brake drive plates. Install forward clutch assembly. Install bearing race on bearing retainer. Install bearing on rear internal gear with smooth side down.
  4. Hold forward clutch hub and turn overrun clutch hub. Ensure overrun clutch hub rotates counterclockwise and does not rotate clockwise. If overrun clutch hub does not operate as described, check installed direction of forward one-way clutch. Align forward clutch and overrun clutch drive plate teeth and install rear internal gear assembly. See Figure.
  5. Apply petroleum jelly to needle bearing and install needle bearing with smooth side down on rear planetary carrier. Install rear sun gear on rear planetary carrier with grooved side facing out. Install rear planetary carrier in transaxle case. Apply petroleum jelly to thrust needle bearing and install bearing on front planetary carrier with grooved side down.
  6. Install low one-way clutch to front planetary carrier by rotating clutch counterclockwise. Ensure low one-way clutch does not rotate in clockwise direction. Install front planetary carrier assembly in transaxle case. Install snap ring.
    NOTE: Snap ring will not fit in groove of transaxle case if forward clutch and bearings are not installed correctly.
  7. Apply petroleum jelly to thrust needle bearing and needle bearings. Install thrust needle bearing on front sun gear with flat side down. Install front sun gear on front planetary carrier. Install needle bearing on front sun gear with smooth side down. Install high clutch hub on front sun gear. Install needle bearing on high clutch hub with smooth side up. See Figure.
  8. Remove paper from input shaft. Align teeth of high clutch drive plates and install input shaft assembly. Align teeth of reverse clutch drive plates. Apply petroleum jelly to needle bearing and install needle bearing on high clutch assembly with smooth side down.
  9. Install reverse clutch assembly. Install anchor end pin, washer and lock nut on transaxle case. Place brake band on reverse clutch drum. Tighten anchor end pin enough that brake band is on reverse drum evenly.
  10. Apply petroleum jelly on bearing race selected in TOTAL END PLAY adjustment procedure. See TRANSAXLE ADJUSTMENTS . Install bearing race on oil pump cover. Apply petroleum jelly on thrust washer selected in REVERSE CLUTCH END PLAY adjustment procedure. See TRANSAXLE ADJUSTMENTS . Install thrust washer on reverse clutch drum. Install oil pump assembly on transaxle case.
  11. Tighten oil pump bolts to 13-15 ft. lbs. (18-21 N.m). Apply ATF to input shaft "O" ring and install "O" ring on input shaft. Adjust brake band. Tighten anchor end pin to 35-53 INCH lbs. (4-6 N.m). Back off anchor end pin 2 1/2 turns. While holding anchor end pin, tighten lock nut. Apply compressed air to oil holes in transaxle case to ensure correct brake band operation. See Fig 1.

  12. Install differential assembly on transaxle case. Install oil tube on converter housing and tighten bolts to 44-62 INCH lbs. (5-7 N.m). Install "O" ring on differential oil port of transaxle case. Apply a bead of liquid gasket .060" (1.5 mm) in diameter on inside edge of converter housing mating surface. Install converter housing on transaxle case. Tighten bolts to 20-22 ft. lbs. (26-30 N.m).
  13. Check contact surface of accumulator piston for damage. Apply ATF to "O" rings and install on accumulator piston. Install accumulator pistons and return springs in transaxle case. Apply petroleum jelly to lip seals for band servo oil holes and install in transaxle case.
  14. Apply ATF to manual valve and insert valve into control valve assembly. Set manual shaft in Neutral position. Install control valve assembly on transaxle case while aligning manual valve with manual plate and detent valve with throttle lever.
  15. Put solenoid harness into transaxle case and push terminal body onto transaxle case. Install clip to terminal body. Install and tighten control valve assembly bolts to 44-62 INCH lbs. (5-7 N.m). See Figure. Attach magnet to oil pan. Install NEW oil pan gasket and install oil pan. Tighten NEW pan bolts in a crisscross pattern to 44-62 INCH lbs. (5-7 N.m). Install drain plug (if necessary) and tighten to 22-29 ft. lbs. (29-39 N.m).
    NOTE: Always replace oil pan bolts. Bolts are self-sealing.
  16. Install inhibitor switch and adjust if necessary. Apply ATF to NEW "O" ring and install on dipstick tube. Install dipstick tube and oil cooler tube to transaxle. Tighten dipstick tube bolt to 40-62 INCH lbs. (4-5 N.m). Tighten oil cooler tube bolts to 22-36 ft. lbs. (29-49 N.m).
  17. Pour 1.1 qt. (1.0L) of ATF into torque converter and install torque converter. Measure distance "A" to ensure torque converter is installed correctly. See Fig 3. Distance "A" should be 0.63" (15.9 mm).
