PARTS REPAIR OR

REPLACEMENT

During the repair of the sub-

assemblies, certain general instructions

which apply to all units of the trans-

missions must be followed. These in-

structions are given here to avoid un-

necessary repetition.

Handle all transmission parts care-

fully to avoid nicking or burring the

bearing or mating surfaces.

Lubricate all internal parts of the

transmission before assembly with

clean automatic transmission fluid. Do

not use any other lubricants except on

gaskets and thrust washers which may

be coated with vaseline to facilitate

assembly. Always install new gaskets

when assembling the transmission.

Tighten all bolts and screws to the

recommended torque as outlined in

the Specification Section.

TRANSMISSION CASE AND

LINKAGE REPAIR

Low-Reverse Servo

1.
Remove the four servo cover-

to-case attaching bolts. Remove the

vent tube and retaining clip from the

case.

2.
Remove the servo cover, cover

seal, servo piston and piston return

spring from the case (Fig. 43).

3.
The servo piston seal is bonded

to the piston. If the seal has to be re-

placed, replace the piston assembly

which includes the seal. Disassemble

the servo piston from the piston stem

by inserting a small screwdriver in the

hole of the piston stem and removing

the piston attaching nut (Fig. 44).

Position the accumulator spring and

spacer (Fig. 43) on the piston stems.

Make sure the crowned side of the

spring is facing toward the rod. Install

the new servo piston and attaching nut

stall the vent tube and retaining clip.

Install the four cover attaching bolts.

Torque the cover-to-case retaining

bolts to specifications.

Intermediate Servo

1.
Remove the transmission
identif-

ication tag and the four servo cover to

case attaching bolts.

2.
Remove the servo cover, gasket,

servo piston, and piston return spring

from the case (Fig. 45).

3.
Remove the intermediate servo

piston from the cover.

4.
Remove the seal rings from the

servo piston and cover.

5.
Install a new seal on the cover

and servo piston. Figure 46 shows the

correct servo piston and cover for

each transmission model. Lubricate

the seals with clean transmission fluid.

Install the piston into the cover. Be

careful not to damage the piston seal.

6. Install the piston return spring in

the servo bore of the case.

7.
Place a new gasket on the servo

cover. Position the servo piston and

cover assembly into the case with the

piston stem slot in a horizontal posi-

tion to engage the strut. Use two

5/16-18 bolts, 1 1/4 inch long, 180

degrees apart, to position the cover

against the case. Install two cover at-

specifications after the transmission is

assembled, either the wrong selective

thrust washers were used, or a thrust

washer came out of position during

the transmission assembly operation.

1.
Install thrust washer No. 9 inside

the transmission case (Fig. 87).

2.
Place the one-way clutch outer

race inside the case. From the back of

the case install the six outer race-

to-case attaching bolts. Torque the

bolts to specification with the tools

shown in Fig. 88.

3.
Place the transmission case in a

vertical position with the back face of

the case upward. Install the parking

pawl retaining pin in the case (Fig.

89).

4.
Install the parking pawl on the

case retaining pin. Install the parking

pawl return spring as shown in Fig.

89.

5.
Install thrust washer No. 10 on

the parking gear (Fig. 90). Place the

gear and thrust washer on the back

face of the case (Fig. 89).

6. Place the two distributor tubes in

the governor distributor sleeve. Install

the distributor sleeve on the case. As

the distributor sleeve is installed, the

tubes have to be inserted in the two

holes in the case and the parking pawl

retaining pin has to be inserted in the

alignment hole in the distributor

sleeve.

7.
Install the four governor distrib-

utor sleeve-to-case attaching bolts and

torque the bolts to specification.
8. Install the governor distributor

assembly on the output shaft. Install

the distributor retaining snap ring

(Fig. 40). Figure 91 shows the correct

snap ring to be used.

9. Check the rings in the governor

distributor, making sure the rings are

fully inserted in the ring grooves and

will rotate freely. Install the output

shaft and governor distributor assem-

bly in the distributor sleeve (Fig. 39).

10.
Place a new extension housing

gasket on the case. Install the exten-

sion housing, vacuum tube clip, and

the extension housing-to-case attach-

ing bolts. Torque the bolts to specifi-

cation.

11.
Place the transmission in the

holding fixture with the front pump

mounting face of the case up. Make

sure thrust washer No. 9 is still lo-

cated at the bottom of the transmis-

sion (Fig. 86).

the spring retainer.

14.
Install the individual springs be-

tween the inner and outer race as

shown in Fig. 92.

15.
Starting at the back of the

transmission case, install the one-way

clutch rollers by slightly compressing

each spring and positioning the roller

between the spring and the spring re-

tainer.

16.
After the one-way clutch has

been assembled, rotate the inner race

clockwise to center the rollers and

springs. Install the low and reverse

drum (Fig. 86). The splines of the

drum have to engage with the splines

of the one-way clutch inner race.

Check the one-way clutch operation

by rotating the low and reverse drum.

The drum should rotate clockwise but

should not rotate counterclockwise.

17.
Install thrust washer No. 8 on

top of the low and reverse drum (Fig.

93).

case,
with the end of the band for the

small strut toward the low-reverse

servo (Fig. 38).

18.

Pull the adjusting screw end of

the actuating lever away from the

servo body, and insert the spacer tool

shown in Fig. 14 between the servo

accumulator piston and the adjusting

screw.
Be
sure
the
