TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
(1) During assembly, lubricate components with
transmission fluid or petroleum jelly as indicated.
(2) If any of the transmission components are still
assembled after overhaul checking procedures, disas-
semble as necessary in preparation for transmission
assembly.
(3) Verify thrust bearing and race installation dur-
ing assembly. Refer to the Thrust Bearing Chart (Fig.
2) for bearing and race location and correct position-
ing.

(4) Install rear planetary gear, second brake drum
and output shaft as outlined in following steps:
(5) Verify No. 10 thrust bearing and race (Fig. 2).
Bearing and race outer diameter is 57.7 mm (2.272
in.) and inside diameter is 39.2 mm (1.543 in.).
(6) Coat thrust bearing and race assembly with pe-
troleum jelly and install in case (Fig. 3). Race faces
down. Bearing rollers face up.
(7) Align teeth of second brake drum and clutch
pack (Fig. 4).(8) Align rear planetary-output shaft assembly
teeth with case slots and install assembly in case
(Fig. 5).
(9) Install rear planetary snap ring with snap ring
pliers. Chamfered side of snap ring faces up and to-
ward case front (Fig. 6).
(10) Check first-reverse brake pack clearance with
feeler gauge. Clearance should be 0.70 - 1.20 mm
(0.028 - 0.047 in.). If clearance is incorrect, planetary
assembly, thrust bearing or snap ring is not properly
seated in case. Remove and reinstall components if
necessary.
(11) Install second brake piston sleeve (Fig. 8).
Sleeve lip faces up and toward case front as shown.

(12) Install second brake drum gasket with Installer
Tool 7544 (Fig. 9). Gasket depth is 43.7 mm (1.720 in.).
(13) Install park lock pawl, spring and pin (Fig.
10).
(14) Connect park lock rod to manual valve shift
sector (Fig. 11).
(15) Position park lock rod bracket on case and
tighten bracket attaching bolts to 10 Nzm (7 ft. lbs.)
torque (Fig. 12).
(16) Verify park lock operation. Move shift sector
to Park position. Park pawl should be firmly engaged
(locked) in planetary ring gear (Fig. 13).

(17) Install No. 1 one-way clutch (Fig. 14). Short
flanged side of clutch faces up and toward case front.
(18) Install second brake pack (Fig. 15). Install
disc then plate. Continue installation sequence until
correct number of discs-plates are installed. Use five
discs and five plates.
(19) Install second brake pack retainer with
rounded edge of retainer facing disc.
(20) Install second brake pack snap ring.
(21) Check brake pack clearance with feeler gauge
(Fig. 16). Clearance should be 0.062 - 1.98 mm (0.024
- 0.078 in.). If brake pack clearance is not correct,
brake pack components are not seated. Reassemble
brake pack if necessary.

(22) Install planetary sun gear and input drum
(Fig. 17). Be sure drum thrust washer tabs are
seated in drum. Use petroleum jelly to hold thrust
washer in position if necessary.
(23) Install front planetary gear on sun gear (Fig.
18).
(24) Support output shaft with wood blocks (Fig.
19).
(25) Install planetary snap ring on sun gear with
snap ring plier tool 7541 (Fig. 20).(26) Install tabbed thrust race on front planetary
gear (Fig. 21). Washer tabs face down and toward
gear. Race outer diameter is 47.8 mm (1.882 in.). In-
side diameter is 34.3 mm (1.350 in.).
(27) Install second coast brake band (Fig. 22).
(28) Install pin in second coast brake band. Then
install retaining ring on pin (Fig. 23).
(29) Install thrust bearing and race in forward-di-
rect clutch (Fig. 24). Coat bearing/race with petro-
leum jelly to hold them in place.
(30) Verify forward-direct clutch thrust bearing
size.
