CAUTION: The pump inner gear is a one way fit.
The bore on one side of the gear inside diameter
(I.D.) is chamfered. Be sure the chamfered side
faces forward (to front of pump).
(6) Install new thrust washer on hub of reaction
shaft support. Lubricate washer with transmission
fluid or petroleum jelly.
(7) If reaction shaft seal rings are being replaced,
install new seal rings on support hub (Fig. 54). Lu-
bricate seal rings with transmission fluid or petro-
leum jelly after installation. Squeeze each ring until
ring ends are securely hooked together.
CAUTION: The reaction shaft support seal rings will
break if overspread, or twisted. If new rings are be-
ing installed, spread them only enough for installa-
tion. Also be very sure the ring ends are securely
hooked together after installation. Otherwise, the
rings will either prevent pump installation, or break
during installation.
(8) Install reaction shaft support on pump housing

REAR CLUTCH INSPECTION
Clean the clutch components with solvent and dry
them with compressed air. Do not use rags or shop
towels to dry any of the clutch parts. Lint from such
materials will adhere to component surfaces and
could restrict or block fluid passages after assembly.
Replace the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored,
burned/charred, the lugs are damaged, or if the fac-
ing is flaking off. Replace the top and bottom pres-
sure plates if scored, warped, or cracked. Be sure the

tary and rear annulus from output shaft (Fig. 78).
(9) Remove tabbed thrust washers from rear plan-
etary gear.(10) Remove snap ring that retains sun gear in
driving shell. Then remove sun gear, spacer and
thrust plates.
PLANETARY GEARTRAIN INSPECTION
Clean the planetary components in solvent and dry
them with compressed air.
Check sun gear and driving shell condition (Fig.
79). Replace the gear if damaged or if the bushings
are scored or worn. The bushings are not serviceable.
Replace the driving shell if worn, cracked or dam-
aged.
Replace planetary gear sets if gears, pinion pins, or
carrier are damaged in any way. Replace the annu-
lus gears and supports if either component is worn or
damaged.
Inspect the geartrain spacers, thrust plates, snap
rings, and thrust washers (Fig. 79). Replace any of
these parts that are worn, distorted or damaged. Do
not attempt to reuse these parts.
The planetary gear thrust washers are different
sizes. The large diameter washers go on the front
planetary and the smaller washers go on the rear
planetary. All the washers have four locating tabs on
them. These tabs fit in the holes or slots provided in
each planetary gear.
Inspect the output shaft carefully. Pay particular
attention to the machined bushing/bearing surfaces
on the shaft and the governor valve shaft bore at the
shaft rear.
Replace the output shaft if the machined surfaces
are scored, pitted, or damaged in any way. Also re-
place the shaft if the splines are damaged, or exhib-
its cracks at any location (especially at the governor
valve shaft bore).
The annulus gears can be removed from their sup-
ports if necessary. Just remove the snap rings and
separate the two parts when replacement is neces-
sary. In addition, the annulus gear bushings can be
replaced if severely worn, or scored. However it is
not necessary to replace the bushings if they only ex-
hibit normal wear. Check bushing fit on the output
shaft to be sure.
ASSEMBLING PLANETARY GEARTRAIN
(1) Lubricate output shaft and planetary compo-
nents with transmission fluid. Use petroleum jelly to
lubricate and hold thrust washers and plates in posi-
tion.
(2) Assemble rear annulus gear and support if dis-
assembled. Be sure support snap ring is seated and
that shoulder-side of support faces rearward (Fig.
80).
(3) Install rear thrust washer on rear planetary

(23) Check planetary geartrain end play with
feeler gauge (Fig. 95). Gauge goes between shoulder
on output shaft and end of rear annulus support.
(24) Geartrain end play should be 0.12 to 1.22 mm
(0.005 to 0.048 in.). If end play is incorrect, snap ring
(or thrust washers) may have to be replaced. Snap
ring is available in three different thicknesses for ad-
justment purposes.

VALVE BODY CLEANING AND INSPECTION
The only serviceable valve body components are:
²park lock rod and E-clip
²switch valve and spring
²pressure adjusting screw bracket
²throttle valve lever
²manual lever
²manual lever shaft seal, washer, E-clip and detent
ball
²fluid filter
²converter clutch solenoid
The remaining valve body components are serviced
only as part of a complete valve body assembly.
Clean the valve body components in a parts clean-
ing solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or
any type of caustic solution. Dry the parts with com-
pressed air. Make sure all passages are clean and
free from obstructions.
Do not use rags or shop towels to wipe off
valve body components. Lint from these materi-als will adhere to the valve body components.
Lint will interfere with valve operation and may
clog filters and fluid passages.
Inspect the throttle and manual valve levers and
shafts. Do not attempt to straighten a bent shaft or
correct a loose lever. Replace these components if
worn, bent, loose or damaged in any way.
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for
scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a straight-
edge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may
be removed with crocus cloth using only very light
pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface
may be corrected by smoothing the surface with cro-
cus cloth. The cloth should be in sheet form and be
positioned on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass, or
equally flat surface. However, if distortion is severe
or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body
will have to be replaced.
CAUTION: The throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2
shift valve and 1-2 governor plug are made of
coated aluminum. These components are identified
in Figure 114 with the abbreviation (Alum.). Alumi-
num components can be identified by the dark
color of the special coating applied to the surface
(or by testing with a magnet). DO NOT polish or
sand aluminum valves or plugs with any type of
material, or under any circumstances. This practice
might damage the special coating and cause the
valves and plugs to stick and bind.

rect sequence. The correct sequence is line pressure
adjustment first and throttle pressure adjustment
last.
Line Pressure Adjustment
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 119).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an approxi-
mate setting. Because of manufacturing toler-
ances, it may be necessary to vary from this
dimension to obtain desired pressure.
One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes
line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa). Turn-
ing the adjusting screw counterclockwise increases
pressure while turning the screw clockwise decreases
pressure.
Throttle Pressure Adjustment
Insert Gauge Tool C-3763 between the throttle le-
ver cam and the kickdown valve stem (Fig. 120).
Push the gauge tool inward to compress the kick-
down valve against the spring and bottom the throt-
tle valve.
Maintain pressure against kickdown valve spring.
Turn throttle lever stop screw until the screw head
touches throttle lever tang and the throttle lever cam
touches gauge tool.
The kickdown valve spring must be fully com-
pressed and the kickdown valve completely
bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY TIPS
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to en-
ter the case or transmission components during as-
sembly. Keep the transmission case and components
clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for assembly are equally clean.Shop towels used for wiping off your hands and ser-
vice tools must be made oflint freematerials. Lint
will adhere to transmission parts and could interfere
with valve operation, or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with ATF
Plus, or Dexron IIŸ during reassembly. Use petro-
leum jelly, Door Eze, or Ru-Glyde on seals and
O-rings to ease installation.
Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold thrust
washers and plates in position during assembly oper-
ations. However,do notuse chassis grease, bearing
grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any
transmission part. These types of lubricants can
eventually block or restrict fluid passages and valve
operation. Use petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. Most of the transmis-
sion components are easily installed by hand when
properly aligned. If a part seems extremely difficult
to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly as-
sembled. Also verify that thrust washers, thrust
plates and seal rings are correctly positioned before
assembly. These parts can interfere with proper as-
sembly if mispositioned or ``left out'' by accident.
