ADAPTER HOUSING AND PARK LOCK
COMPONENT OVERHAUL
Clean the housing and park lock components in
solvent and dry them with compressed air.
Inspect the output shaft bearing in the housing
(Fig. 35). Replace the bearing if worn, damaged, or
noisy.
Examine the park lock components in the housing.
If replacement is necessary, remove the shaft with
parallel jaw snap ring pliers (Fig. 36) and remove the
sprag and spring. Then remove the spring clip and
reaction plug (Fig. 37).Compress the reaction plug spring clip only
enough to remove or install it. The clip is easily
distorted if overcompressed. Replace the clip if
it becomes bent or distorted. Do not straighten
and reuse the clip if this occurs.
Be sure a replacement sprag is installed so the
sprag locking lug will face the park gear. Also be
sure the spring is correctly positioned as shown (Fig.
38).The sprag may not retract if the spring is
improperly installed.

GOVERNOR/PARK GEAR CLEANING AND
INSPECTION
Clean the governor and park gear components in
solvent and dry with compressed air.
Examine the governor components carefully (Fig.
39). Discard any snap rings or E-clips if distorted, or
worn. Be sure the governor weights operate freely in
the bores and do not bind. Also verify that the gov-
ernor valve slides freely on the shaft and in the bore.
Minor scratches, or burrs on governor components
can be cleaned up with oil-soaked crocus cloth. How-
ever, do not attempt to salvage components that are
severely worn or scored.
The governor valve used in 30RH/32RH trans-
missions built starting with the 1992 model year,
is now made of aluminum. In addition, the out-
put shaft has been spotfaced to accept the newaluminum valve (Fig. 39). The aluminum valve
must not be used in prior transmissions. The
valve can only be used with an output shaft that
has been spotfaced for valve end clearance. In
addition, the governor body and output shaft
must be properly indexed during reassembly. Be
sure to index these components as described in
the Transmission Assembly and Adjustment pro-
cedures.
Check condition of the park gear seal rings, ring
grooves and gear teeth (Fig. 40). Replace the gear as
an assembly if the teeth or ring grooves are worn, or
damaged.
Replace the park gear front and rear seal rings if
cracked, or worn. The production style front ring is a
plain type and the rear ring is a hook style. If re-
placement rings are both hook-style, be sure the ring
ends are properly hooked together.ASSEMBLING GOVERNOR AND PARK GEAR
(1) Coat governor body bores and valves with
transmission fluid.
(2) Assemble governor weights and springs. Then
install weight assembly in governor body but do not
install valve and shaft at this time. These parts are
not installed until after governor and park gear are
in place on output shaft.
(3) Install new seal rings on park gear if neces-
sary.
(4) Insert filter screen in park gear and position
governor body on park gear.

Inspect the pump housing and support components.
Replace the housing or support if the seal ring
grooves or machined surfaces are worn, scored, pit-
ted, or damaged.
Replace the pump gears if pitted, worn chipped, or
damaged. Inspect the thrust washer for wear or dam-
age. Replace the washer if necessary.Note that the
inner gear used in 1993 and later 30RH/32RH oil
pumps has a new design drive lug. The new de-
sign incorporates tapered drive flats instead of
the square lug used previously. The torque con-
verter hub has also been redesigned to accept
the new drive flats. If pump gear replacement is
necessary, be very sure to order and install the
correct style gears.
Inspect the pump and reaction shaft support bush-
ings. Minor bushing wear is acceptable. Replace the
bushings only if scored, or severely worn.
Install the gears in the pump housing and measure
end clearance with a feeler gauge and straightedge
(Fig. 46). Clearance should be 0.010 - 0.06 mm
(0.0004 - 0.0025 in.).
Measure clearance between the outer gear and the
pump body (Fig. 47). Clearance should be 0.08 - 0.19
mm (0.0035 - 0.0075 in.).
Measure gear tooth clearance with a feeler gauge.
Align one tooth of the outer gear in inner gear andmeasure clearance (Fig. 48). Clearance should be
0.08 - 0.19 mm (0.0035 - 0.0075 in.).

FRONT CLUTCH INSPECTION
Clean the front clutch components in solvent and dry
them with compressed air only. Do not use rags or shop
towels to dry any of the clutch parts. Lint from such
materials will adhere to the component surfaces and
could restrict or block fluid passages after assembly.
Replace the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored,
burned or charred, or if the facing is flaking off. Re-
place the steel plates if heavily scored, warped, orbroken. Be sure the driving lugs on the plates are in
good condition. The lugs must not be bent, cracked or
damaged in any way.
Replace the clutch spring and spring retainer if ei-
ther is distorted, warped or broken.
Check the lug grooves in the clutch retainer. The
steel plates should slide freely in the slots. Replace
the retainer if the grooves are worn or damaged.
Check action of the check ball in the retainer (Fig.
59). The ball must move freely and not stick.

if either bushing is scored, or worn.
Inspect the piston and retainer seal surfaces for
nicks or scratches. Minor scratches can be removed
with crocus cloth. However, replace the piston and/or
retainer if the seal surfaces are seriously scored.
FRONT CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
(1) Soak clutch discs in transmission fluid while
assembling other clutch parts.
(2) Install new seals on piston and in hub of re-
tainer. Be sure lip of each seal faces interior of clutch
retainer.
(3) Lubricate lips of piston and retainer seals with
liberal quantity of Door Eze, or petroleum jelly. Then
lubricate retainer hub, bore and piston with trans-
mission fluid.
(4) Install clutch piston in retainer (Fig. 61). Use
twisting motion to seat piston in bottom of retainer.
Do not attempt to push the piston straight in.
This could fold the seals over causing leakage
and clutch slip.
(5) Position spring in clutch piston (Fig. 62).(6) Position spring retainer on top of piston spring
(Fig. 63).Make sure retainer is properly in-
stalled. Small raised tabs should be facing up-
ward. Semicircular lugs on underside of retainer
are for positioning retainer in spring.
(7) Compress piston spring and retainer with Com-
pressor Tool C-3575-A (Fig. 64). Then install new
