TRANSMISSION K Procedure 1. Place wooden blocks under the transmission at the con- verter housing and the extension housing positions. 2. Remove the oil pan and gasket. Examine any material found in the pan or on the magnet to determine the condition of the transmission. Clutch facing material . . . . . Drive plate and brake band wear Steel (magnetic) . . . . . . . . . . Bearing, gear, and driven plate wear Aluminum (nonmagnetic) . . Bushings or cast alumi- num parts wear If large amounts of material are found, replace the torque converter and carefully check the transmission for the cause. 3. Install the oil pan and gasket with a few bolts to protect the valve body. 4. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, lockup control solenoid valve, vehicle speed pulse generator, and O-rings. 5. Remove the parwneutral switch. 6. Remove the speedometer driven gear from the exten- sion housing. 7. Remove the O-ring from the speedometer driven gear. Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION 21. Loosen the fourth gear band servo locknut and tighten the piston stem. 22. Mark the fourth gear case and oil pump for proper reas- sembly. 23. Install the SST to the oil pump assembly. 24. Slowly remove the oil pump from the transmission case by evenly sliding the weights of the SST. 25. Remove the SST from the oil pump. 26. Loosen the piston stem of the fourth gear band servo. Remove the fourth gear connecting shell and fourth gear planetary gear unit (fourth gear sun gear, fourth gear planetary pinion carrier, fourth gear clutch hub), and di- rect clutch. 27. Remove the fourth gear brake band, and hold it together with a piece of wire as shown in the figure. 28. Remove the band strut. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K 29. Remove the bearing races and bearing. 30. Remove the intermediate shaft. I 45UOKX-116 31. Loosen the 2nd band servo locknut and tighten the pis- ton stem. I 1 45UOKX-117 32. Separate the drum support, accumulator and fourth gear case from the transmission case by tapping it lightly with a plastic hammer. Remove the gasket. u 45UOKX-118 Remove the bearing races and bearing from the drum support, accumulator and fourth gear case. Remove the bearing from the front clutch hole. Loosen the 2nd band servo piston stem and remove the 2nd band strut. Hold the brake band together with a piece of wire as shown in the figure. Remove the band strut. Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION FOURTH GEAR BAND SERVO Preinspection Fourth gear band servo operation 1. Apply compressed air through the oil passage as shown. .J Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. 2. Verify that the piston stem moves to the brake band. If not, the seal rings or the oil seal may be damaged or the piston assembly may be sticking. lnspect them, and re- place as necessary when assembling. 45UOKX-183 Disassembly I Inspection I Assembly 1. Disassemble in the order shown in the figure, referring to Disassembly Note. 2. Inspect all parts, and repair or replace as necessary. 3.

K TRANSMISSION LOW AND REVERSE BRAKE Preparation SST Preinspection Low and reverse brake operation 1. Apply compressed air through the oil passage as shown. 49 0378 346 Hex head wrench Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kglcm2, 57 psi) max. For removal I installation of one-way clutch 2. Verify that the retaining plate moves toward the snap ring. If not, the seal ring or O-ring may be damaged or fluid may be leaking at the piston check ball. Inspect them, and replace as necessary when assembling. Clearance between retaining plate and snap ring 1. Measure the clearance between the retaining plate and the snap ring. Clearance: 0.8-1.05mm (0.032--0.041 in) i/ 2. Select and install the correct retaining plate when as- sembling. Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION Disassembly note One-way clutch inner race 1. Remove the allen-head bolts from the rear of the trans- mission case by using the SST. 4 2. Remove the one-wav clutch inner race, thrust washer, and piston return spring. Low and reverse brake &ton Remove the piston by gpplying compressed air through the oil passage. Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. Inspection Drive plate 1. Measure the facing thickness in three places, and deter- mine the average of the three readings. Standard thickness: 2.0mm (0.079 in) Minimum thickness: 1.8mm (0.071 in) 2. If not within specification, replace the drive plates. Return spring 1. Measure the return spring free length. Spring free length: 5.9-6.2mm (0.233-0.244 in) 2. If not within specification, replace the return spring. Clutch piston 1. Verify that there is no air leakage when applying com- pressed air through the oil hole opposite the return spring. 2. Verify that there is airflow when applying compressed air through the oil hole on the return spring side. Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. 3. If not correct, replace the clutch piston.
