(5) Install assembled rear planetary and annulus
gear on output shaft (Fig. 86). Verify that assembly is
fully seated on shaft.
(6) Install front thrust washer on rear planetary
gear (Fig. 87). Use enough petroleum jelly to hold
washer on gear. Be sure all four washer tabs are
seated in slots.
(7) Install spacer on sun gear (Fig. 88).
(8) Install thrust plate on sun gear (Fig. 89). Note
that driving shell thrust plates are interchangeable.

hub. Also be sure washer tab is facing up.
(20) Install front annulus snap ring (Fig. 98). Use
snap ring pliers to avoid distorting ring during in-
stallation. Also be sure ring is fully seated.
(21) Install planetary selective snap ring with snap
ring pliers (Fig. 99). Be sure ring is fully seated.
(22) Turn planetary geartrain assembly over sodriving shell is facing workbench. Then support
geartrain on wood block positioned under forward
end of output shaft. This allow geartrain components
to move forward for accurate end play check.
(23) Check planetary geartrain end play with
feeler gauge (Fig. 100). 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.

REAR SERVO AND BAND OVERHAUL
REAR SERVO PISTON DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove seal from servo piston. Note which way
seal lip faces for assembly reference.(2) Compress cushion spring in vise only enough to
allow piston plug snap ring removal (Fig. 102). Use
wood block between vise jaws and end of piston plug
to keep plug aligned and in position.
(3) Remove snap ring from end of piston plug (Fig.
102).
(4) Open vise and remove wood block, piston plug,
cushion spring and servo piston.
REAR SERVO INSPECTION
Clean the servo components with solvent and dry
them with compressed air.
Check rear band condition. Replace the band if dis-
torted, the lining is burned or flaking off, or the lin-
ing is excessively worn.
On 30RH models, inspect the rear band link (Fig.
103). Replace the link if bent, or damaged. Check the
band reaction pin. Replace the O-rings if they are
cut, or torn. Minor pin scoring can be cleaned up
with crocus cloth. However, replace the pin if worn,
severely scored, or cracked.

the servo and cushion springs if collapsed, distorted
or broken. Replace the plug or piston if cracked, bent,
or worn. Discard the servo snap ring and spring re-
tainer if distorted or warped.
If doubt exists about the condition of any servo
component, replace it. Do not reuse suspect parts.

(4) Lubricate piston seal with petroleum jelly. Lu-
bricate other servo parts with transmission fluid.
VALVE BODY DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not clamp any part of the valve body
assembly (Fig. 106) in a vise. This practice will dis-
tort the valve body and transfer plate resulting invalve bind. Slide valves and plugs out carefully. Do
not use force at any time. The valves and valve
body will be damaged if force is used. Also tag or
mark the valve body springs for reference as they
are removed. Do not allow them to become inter-
mixed.
(1) Remove screws attaching adjusting screw
bracket to valve body and transfer plate. Hold
bracket firmly against spring force while removing
last screw.
(2) Remove adjusting screw bracket, line pressure
adjusting screw, pressure regulator spring and switch
valve spring (Fig. 107).Do not remove throttle
pressure adjusting screw from bracket and do
not disturb adjusting screw settings during re-
moval.

(5) Pull manual shaft and park rod assembly up-
ward out of valve body and off throttle lever (Fig.

retain detent ball and spring.
(7) Remove throttle lever (Fig. 109).
(8) Remove park rod E-clip and separate rod from
manual lever (Fig. 110).
(9) Remove screws attaching converter clutch mod-
ule to valve body and remove module and connecting
tube (Fig. 111).
(10) Turn valve body over so transfer plate is fac-
ing upward (Fig. 112). With valve body in this posi-
tion, valve body check balls will remain in place and
not fall out when transfer plate is removed.
(11) Remove screws attaching transfer plate to
valve body (Fig. 112).

(12) Remove transfer plate and separator plate
from valve body. Note position of filter and clutch so-
lenoid for reference (Fig. 113). Remove valve body
check balls. Note that check balls will be steel on
very early production models, or plastic on later pro-
duction models.
(13) Position transfer plate on bench so separator
plate, filter and lockup solenoid are facing up. This
will avoid having rear clutch and rear servo check
balls fall out when plates are separated.
(14) Remove screws attaching separator plate to
transfer plate.
(15) Remove converter clutch solenoid from separa-
tor plate (Fig. 114). A T25 torx bit is required to re-
move solenoid attaching screw.

clutch/rear servo check balls for assembly reference
(Fig. 115). Clutch and servo check balls will be steel
on very early production, or plastic on later produc-
tion models.

valve from valve body (Fig. 117).
(21) Remove throttle valve and spring, kickdown
valve and detent and manual valve from valve body
(Fig. 117).
(22) Remove 1-2 and 2-3 shift valve governor plugs
from valve body (Fig. 117).

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, orany 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.
