DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF SUBASSEMBLIES
Torque Converter Cleaning And Inspection
1. If a new torque converter is being installed, continue with Substep 2 of Step 2.
2. If a new torque converter is not being installed, the following procedures must be performed: 1. The torque converter must be thoroughly cleaned.
„Torque converters with drain plugs can be cleaned by using a suitable torque
converter/fluid cooler cleaner.
„ Torque converters without drain plugs can be cleaned by hand. Partially fill the
torque converter using only recommended transmission fluid for the applicable
transmission. Hand agitate the torque converter and then thoroughly drain the
fluid. Refill the torque converter with clean automatic transmission fluid specified
for transmission, and reinstall.
2. All in- tank and auxiliary coolers must be thoroughly cleaned by forward and backward
flushing. For additional information, refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler — Backflushing
and Cleaning in this section.
3. All cooler lines must be thoroughly cleaned by backward and forward flushing. For additional information, refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler — Backflushing and Cleaning
in this section.
4. All Cooler Bypass Valves (CBV), if equipped, must be thoroughly cleaned.
5. Carry out the Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test. For additional information, refer to
Transmission Fluid Cooler — Backflushing and Cleaning in this section.
6. If the transmission cooling system fails the Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Test, a new fluid cooler, cooler bypass valve, and/or cooler lines must be installed. For additional
information, refer to Section 307 - 02 .
7. If new coolers are to be installed, use only factory approved service parts.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF SUBASSEMBLIES
Torque Converter Flushing
NOTE:
When the transmission has been repaired for internal damage the torque converter must be
cleaned using a mechanically agitated cleaner.
1. Using a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner, clean and flush the torque converter.
2. After flushing, drain the remainder of the solvent.
3. Add 1.9 liter (2 qt.) of clean transmission fluid to the converter and agitate by hand.
4. Thoroughly drain the solution.

CAUTION: Before beginning assembly, carry out and inspect the following:
When building up subassemblies and assembling the transmission, ALWAYS use new gaskets
and seals.
All fasteners must be tightened to the torque specification indicated. In addition to appearing in
the section, the necessary torques can be found in the General Specifications Chart.
When building up subassemblies, each component part should be lubricated with clean
transmission fluid. It is also good practice to lubricate the subassemblies as they are installed
in the case.
Needle bearings, thrust washers and seals should be lightly coated with petroleum jelly during
subassembly buildup or transmission assembly.
Many components and surfaces in the transmission are precision machined. Careful handling
during disassembly, cleaning, inspection and assembly can prevent unnecessary damage to
machined surfaces.
1. Use the special tools to install the rear case bushing if removed. 1. Position the rear case bushing and the special tool inside the case.
2. Assemble the special tools through the back of the case.
2. Place the transmission in the vertical position.
3. Coat the No. 9 case rear bearing with petroleum jelly and install on the case boss.
4. CAUTION: Be sure the No. 7 needle bearing and direct clutch hub are installed as
shown in the Subassembly section. Internal damage and shift problems may occur. D0AZ-

NOTE: Before assembly, soak the new clutch discs in clean automatic transmission fluid for 15
minutes.
Install the intermediate clutch pack and selective steel plate.
24. Using the special tool, check the intermediate clutch clearance. 1. Position the special tool on the pump case mounting surface.
2. Maintaining downward pressure, use a depth micrometer to measure and verify intermediate clutch clearance is within specification.
If the intermediate clutch is not within specification, install a correct selective plate.
25. Install the intermediate anti- rattle clip, if equipped. Selective Steel Plates

INSTALLATION
Transmission
1. CAUTION: During this move, to avoid damage, do not allow the transmission to get
into a nose- down position as this will cause the torque converter to move forward and
disengage from the pump gear. The converter housing is piloted into position by dowels
in the rear of the engine block. The torque converter must rest squarely against the
flexplate. This indicates that the converter pilot is not binding in the engine crankshaft.
Position and secure the transmission on the high- lift transmission jack.
2. CAUTION: Make sure the torque converter is fully seated in the transmission before
positioning the transmission to the engine.
Using the special tool, install the transmission to the engine.
zAlign the orange balancing marks on the converter stud and the flexplate bolt hole. 3. Reconnect the harness. SECTION 307-
