(6) Measure inside diameter of stator shaft bush-
ing (Fig. 2). Take measurements at front and rear of
bushing. Diameter should be maximum of 21.58 mm
(0.08496 in.) at front and 27.08 mm (1.0661 in.) at
rear. Replace stator shaft if bushing diameter is
greater than specified.
(7) Measure oil pump clearances (Fig. 3).
²Clearance between pump driven gear and pump
body should be maximum of 0.3 mm (0.012 in).
²Clearance between tips of pump gear teeth should
be maximum of 0.3 mm (0.012 in).
²Clearance between rear surface of pump housing
and pump gears should be maximum of 0.1 mm
(0.004 in.).
(8) Replace pump body and gears if any clearance
is greater than specified.

(4) Measure stroke length of clutch piston as fol-
lows:
(a) Mount oil pump on torque converter. Then
mount clutch on oil pump (Fig. 5).
(b) Mount dial indicator on clutch and position
indicator stylus on clutch piston (Fig. 6).
(c) Apply compressed air through clutch feed hole
in oil pump and note piston stroke length. Stroke
length should be 1.85 - 2.15 mm (0.0728 - 0.0846
in.).
(5) Replace clutch pack retainer if stroke length is
incorrect. Refer to chart in Specifications section for
replacement retainer thicknesses.

springs.
(9) Mount oil pump on converter. Then mount
clutch on oil pump (Fig. 9).
(10) Hold clutch piston by hand and apply com-
pressed air through oil pump feed hole to ease piston
out (Fig. 9). Apply only enough air pressure to re-
move piston.

feed hole used for checking piston operation.
(6) Remove reaction sleeve with Sleeve Remover
Tool 7542 (Fig. 5). Insert tool flanges under sleeve
and lift tool and sleeve out of case.
(7) Remove No. 1 first/reverse brake piston with
Piston Puller 7543 (Fig. 6). Slip tool under piston and
lift tool and piston out of case.
(8) Measure free length of piston return springs
with springs mounted in retainer. Length should be
18.382 mm (0.724 in.). Replace springs if length is
less than this.(9) Clean transmission case thoroughly with sol-
vent and dry it with compressed air. Blow com-
pressed air through oil feed passages to remove
solvent residue and ensure that passages are clear.
Inspect the case for wear or damage. Replace case if
necessary.
ASSEMBLING FIRST/REVERSE BRAKE

7). Then install piston in sleeve.
(2) Lubricate and install new O-ring on No. 2
brake piston.
(3) Install assembled No. 1 piston and reaction
sleeve on No. 2 piston (Fig. 8).

WARNING: THE PRIMARY REGULATOR VALVE
SLEEVE AND PLUNGER ARE UNDER TENSION
FROM THE VALVE SPRING. EXERT COUNTER-
PRESSURE ON THE SPRING WHILE REMOVING
THE VALVE RETAINER TO PREVENT COMPONENTS
FROM FLYING OUT.(a) Note position of valve retainer for assembly
reference (Fig. 5). Then press valve sleeve inward
with your thumb and remove retainer with magnet.

roded. Replace valves, plugs or sleeves that are
scored or worn. Replace oil strainers if cut, torn or
damaged in any way.
(14) Inspect valve body springs. Replace any spring
having rusted, distorted, or collapsed coils. Measure
length of each valve body spring. Replace any spring
if free length is less than length specified in following
chart (Fig. 11).
LOWER BODY ASSEMBLY
(1) Lubricate lower body components with auto-
matic transmission fluid.
(2) Install spring and accumulator control valve in
sleeve (Fig. 11). Then install assembled components
in lower body (Fig. 9).
(3) Press accumulator control valve assembly into
valve bore and install retainer (Fig. 9).
