springs.
(10) Mount oil pump on converter. Then mount
clutch on oil pump (Fig. 9).
(11) 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.

(16) Remove one-way clutch and outer race as as-
sembly. Then separate race from clutch (Fig. 14).
(17) Remove planetary thrust washer (Fig. 15).
(18) Check overdrive clutch disc thickness. Mini-
mum allowable thickness is 1.84 mm (0.0724 in.).(19) Measure free length of piston return springs
with springs in retainer (Fig. 16). Length should be
16.8 mm (0.661 in.).
(20) 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.

(9) Measure free length of piston return springs
with springs mounted in retainer (Fig. 7). Length
should be 17.23 mm (0.678 in.).
(10) Clean support components and dry them with
compressed air.
(11) Inspect overdrive support and brake piston.
Replace support and piston if either part is worn or
damaged.
ASSEMBLING OVERDRIVE SUPPORT
(1) Lubricate new support seal rings. Then com-
press rings and install them on support (Fig. 8).(2) Lubricate and install new O-rings on brake pis-
ton. Then carefully seat piston in support.
(3) Install return springs on brake piston.
(4) Compress return springs with Spring Compres-
sor 7537 (Fig. 5) and install piston snap ring.
(5) Install support bearing race and clutch drum
thrust washer (Fig. 4).
(6) Install thrust bearing and front and rear bear-
ing races. Thrust bearing rollers should face upward
as shown (Fig. 9).
(7) Verify thrust bearing/race sizes (Fig. 9).
²Front race outer diameter is 47.8 mm (1.882 in.)
and inside diameter is 30.7 mm (1.209 in.).

²Rear race outer diameter is 47.8 mm (1.882 in.)
and inside diameter is 34.3 mm (1.350 in.).
²Bearing outer diameter is 47.7 mm (1.878 in.) and
inside diameter is 32.7 mm (1.287 in.).
(8) Verify brake piston operation. Use same proce-
dure described at beginning of disassembly. Piston
should operate smoothly and not bind or stick.
DIRECT CLUTCH OVERHAUL
CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove direct clutch from forward clutch (Fig. 1).
(2) Remove clutch drum thrust washer (Fig. 2).(3) Check clutch piston stroke length as outlined in
following steps.
(4) Mount direct clutch on overdrive support as-
sembly (Fig. 3).
(5) Mount dial indicator on clutch and position in-
dicator plunger on clutch piston (Fig. 4).
(6) Apply 57-114 psi air pressure through feed hole
