36. Using Alignment Plate 8261 (1), Adapter 8266-17
from End-Play Tool Set 8266 (2) and Dial Indica-
tor C-3339 (3), measure and record the output
shaft end-play. The correct output shaft end-play
is 0.22-0.55 mm (0.009-0.021 in.). Adjust as nec-
essary. Install the chosen output shaft selective
thrust plate and re-measure end-play to verify
selection.
37. Apply a bead of RTV silicone and install the
extension/adapter housing onto the transmission
case.
38. Install and torque the bolts to hold the extension/
adapter housing onto the transmission case. The
correct torque is 54 Nꞏm (40 ft.lbs.).
39. Install the number 5 thrust bearing (1) and selec-
tive thrust plate (2) onto the 4C retainer/bulkhead.
Be sure that the outer race of the bearing is
against the thrust plate.
40. Install the input clutch assembly (3) into the trans-
mission case. Make sure that the input clutch
assembly is fully installedbyperformingavisual
inspection through the input speed sensor hole. If
the tone wheel teeth on the input clutch assembly
are centered in the hole, the assembly is fully
installed.
41. Install the number 1 thrust bearing (4) with the
outer race up in the pocket of the input clutch
assembly.
42. Install the oil pump (2) into the transmission case.
43. Install the bolts (1) to hold the oil pump into the
transmission case. Tighten the oil pump bolts to
28 Nꞏm (250 in.lbs.).

49. Install the valve body. Verify that the pin on the
manual lever has properly engaged the TRS
selector plate. Tighten the valve body to transmis-
sion case bolts (1) to 12 Nꞏm (105 in.lbs.).
CAUTION: The primary oil filter seal MUST be fully
installed flush against the oil pump body. DO NOT
install the seal onto the filter neck and attempt to
install the filter and seal as an assembly. Damage
to the transmission will result.
50. Install a new primary oil filter seal in the oil pump
inlet bore. Seat the seal in the bore with the butt
end of a hammer, or other suitable tool.
51. Install the primary oil filter (1) and the oil cooler
return filter (2). Tighten the screw to hold the pri-
mary oil filter to the valve body to 4.5 Nꞏm (40
in.lbs.). Using Filter Wrench 8321, tighten the
cooler return oil filter to the transmission case to
9.5 Nꞏm (7 ft.lbs.).
52. Apply RTV silicone to theoil pan and install the
transmission oil pan. Tighten the bolts to 12 Nꞏm (105 in.lbs.).
53. Install the input (3), output (1), and line pressure
sensors (2). Tighten the bolts to 12 Nꞏm (105
in.lbs.).
Page 3393 of 5267
18. Lower transmission onto crossmember and install bolts attaching transmission mount to crossmember. Tighten
clevis bracket to crossmember bolts to 47 Nꞏm (35 ft.lbs.). Tighten the clevis bracket to rear support bolt to 68
Nꞏm (50 ft.lbs.).
19. Remove engine support fixture.
20. Connect gearshift cable to transmission.
21. Connect wires to solenoid and pressure switch assembly (2) connector.
22. Connect wires to input speed sensor (2).
23. Connect wires to output speed sensor (2).
24. Connect wires to line pressure sensor (2). Be
sure transmission harnesses are properly routed.

In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and/or fluid oxidation,and varnishing. This can interfere with nor-
mal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the transmission vent
where it may be mistaken for a leak.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be sure to wipe all
dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P(PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector lever in P (PARK)
to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate.The engine should be running at idle speed for at least one
minute, with the vehicle on level ground.At normal operating temperature (approximately 82° C. or 180° F), the
fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region (cross-hatched area) on theoil level indicator. The fluid level will be
approximately at the upper COLD hole of the dipstick at 21° C (70° F) fluid temperature.
NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this proce-
dure.
1. Start engine and apply parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for approximately 2 seconds.
3. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Shift the transmission into PARK.
5. Hook up scan tool andselect transmission.
6. Select sensors.
7. Read the transmission temperature value.
8. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart.
9. Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the Transmission Fluid Temperature Chart.
NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully drain from
the fill tube into the transmission before rechecking the fluid level.
10. Check transmission for leaks.
