REPLACEMENT

During the repair of the sub-

assemblies, certain general instructions

which apply to all units of the trans-

missions must be followed. These in-

structions are given here to avoid un-

necessary repetition.

Handle all transmission parts care-

fully to avoid nicking or burring the

bearing or mating surfaces.

Lubricate all internal parts of the

transmission before assembly with

clean automatic transmission fluid. Do

not use any other lubricants except on

gaskets and thrust washers which may

be coated with vaseline to facilitate

assembly. Always install new gaskets

when assembling the transmission.

Tighten all bolts and screws to the

recommended torque as outlined in

the Specification Section.
