OVERHAUL SERVICE TOOLS
The special tools needed to overhaul the AW-4
transmission are provided in Tool Kit 6294. However,
Pressure Test Port Adapter 7554 is not included in
this kit and must be ordered separately. The over-
haul tool kit and test port adapter are available
through the parts division and dealer special tool
program.
TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove torque converter.
(2) Remove lower half of filler tube if not previ-
ously removed.
(3) Remove clamps attaching wire harness and
throttle cable (Fig. 1) to transmission.(4) Remove shift lever from manual valve shaft at
left side of transmission.
(5) Remove park/neutral position switch.
(6) Remove speed sensor (Fig. 2).

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).
²
Clearance 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) Replace overdrive brake clutch pack if discs are
worn below thickness of 1.84 mm (0.0724 in.). This is
clutch pack that fits on clutch drum and in case.
