Valve Body
Repair
NOTE: This repair is only necessary if one or more ofthe valves in a valve body do not slide smoothly in theirbores. Use this procedure to free the varves.
'1. Soak a sheet of #600 abrasive paper in ATF forabout 30 minutes.
2. Carelully tap the valve body so the sticking valvedrops out of its bore. lt may be necessary to use asmall screwdriver to pry the valve free. Be carefulnot to scratch the bore with the screwdriver.
4.
Inspect the valve for any scutf marks. Use the ATF-soaked #600 paper to polish off any burrs that areon the valve, then wash the valve in solvent and dryit with compressed air.
Roll up half a sheet of ATF-soaked #600 paper andinsert it in the valve bore of the sticking valve.Twist the paper slightly, so that it unrolls and fitsthe bore tightly, then polish the bore by twisting thepaper as you push it in and out.
NOTE: The valve body is aluminum and doesn,trequire much polishing to remove any ourrs.
,l
14-192
5.Remove the #600 paper. Thoroughly wash theentire valve body in solvent, then dry it with com-pressed ar.
Coat the valve with ATF, then drop it into its bore, ltshould drop to the bottom of the bore under its ownweight. lf not, repeat step 4, then retest. lf the valvestill sticks, replace the valve body.
Remove the valve. and thoroughly clean it and thevalve body with solvent. DrV all parts with com-pressed air, then reassemble using ATF as a lubricant.

Replacement
The sealing rings (35 mm and 29 mm) are synthetic resin
with chamfered ends. Check the condition of the sealing
rings, and replace them only if they are worn, distorted,
or oamageo.
NOTE: Apply ATF to all partsduring assembly.
1. For a better fit, squeeze the sealing ring together
slightly before installing them.
Install new sealing rings on the mainshaft.
After installing the sealing rings, verify the follow-
ing:
. The sealing rings are fully seated in the groove.
. The sealing rings are not twisted.
. The chamfered ends of the sealing rings are
properly joined.
SEALING RINGInstall the sealing ringmating faces as shown.

19. lf the transfer gear tooth contact is incorrect, adjust
the transfer gear tooth contact with a 35 mm or 25
mm th rust shim.
NOTE:
. To select a 35 mm thrust shim, refer to page 14,240.
. Do not use more than two 35 mm shims to
adjust the transfer gear tooth contact.. To select the 25 mm thrust shim, refer to page
14-243.
. Do not use more than two 25 mm shims to
adjust the transfer gear tooth contact.
Toe Contact
Use a thicker 35 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer driven gear shaft toward the transfer drivegear. Because this movement causes the transfergear backlash to change, move the transfer drivegear away from the transfer driven gear shaft to
adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:. Increase the thickness of the 25 mm thrust
shrm.
. Reduce the thickness of the 68 mm thrust
shim by the amount of increased thickness of
the 25 mm thrust shim.
Heel Contact
Use a thinner 35 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer driven gear shaft away from the transfer
drive gear. Because thjs movement causes the
transfer gear backlash to change, move the trans-
fer drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft
to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:. Reduce the thickness of the 25 mm thrust
shim.
. Increase the thickness of the 68 mm thrust
shim by the amount of reduced thickness ofthe 25 mm thrust shim.
Flank Contaqt
Use a thinner thrust shim to move the transfer
drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft.Flank contact must be adjusted within the limits
of the transfer gear backlash. lf the backlash
exceeds the limits, adjust as described underHeel Contact.
Face Contaqt
Use a thicker thrust shim to move the transfer
drive gear away from the transfer driven gear
shaft. Face contact must be adjusted within the
limits of the transfer gear backlash. lf the back-
lash exceeds the limits, adjust as described
under Toe Contact.
