OIL PUMP OVERHAUL
(1) Remove pump body O-ring (Fig. 1).
(2) Remove pump seal rings (Fig. 1).
(3) Remove bolts attaching stator shaft to pump
body and separate components.
(4) Remove drive gear and driven gear from pump
body (Fig. 1).
(5) Measure inside diameter of pump body bushing
with bore gauge or inside micrometer (Fig. 2). Diam-
eter should be maximum of 38.19 mm (1.5035 in.).
Replace pump body if bushing I.D. is greater than
specified.

(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.

(9) Remove old pump seal. Install new seal with
Seal Installer 7549 (Fig. 4).
(10) Lubricate and install gears in pump body.
(11) Assemble stator shaft and pump body. Tighten
shaft-to-body bolts to 10 Nzm (7 ft. lbs.) torque.
(12) Install new O-ring on pump body and new
seal rings on stator shaft.
(13) Install pump in torque converter and check
pump gear rotation. Gears must rotate smoothly
when turned clockwise and counterclockwise.
(14) Lubricate pump O-ring and seal rings with pe-
troleum jelly.

OVERDRIVE PLANETARY GEAR AND CLUTCH
OVERHAUL
GEAR AND CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
(1) Check operation of one-way clutch in clutch
drum. Hold drum and turn planetary shaft clockwise
and counterclockwise. Shaft should turn clockwise
freely but lock when turned counterclockwise. Re-
place one-way clutch if necessary.
(2) Remove overdrive clutch from planetary gear
(Fig. 3).
(3) Remove thrust bearing and race assembly from
clutch drum (Fig. 4).

(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.

(6) Remove clutch pack snap ring and remove the
clutch pack.
(7) Compress piston return spring with Tool 7538
(Fig. 8). Remove snap ring and remove compressor
tool.
(8) Remove compressor tool and piston return
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.

(11) Remove bearing and race from ring gear (Fig.
10).
(12) Remove snap ring from ring gear and remove
ring gear hub (Fig. 11).(13) Remove race from planetary gear (Fig. 12).
(14) Remove snap ring and remove retaining plate
(Fig. 13).

(15) Remove one-way clutch and outer race as as-
sembly. Then separate race from clutch (Fig. 14).
(16) Remove thrust washer (Fig. 15).
(17) Measure clutch disc thickness. Minimum al-
lowable thickness is 1.84 mm (0.0724 in.).(18) Measure free length of piston return springs
with springs in retainer (Fig. 16). Length should be
16.8 mm (0.661 in.).
(19) Check clutch piston check ball (Fig. 17). Shake
piston to see if ball moves freely. Then check ball
sealing by applying low pressure compressed air to
ball inlet as shown. Air should not leak past check
ball.
