Remove oil seal ring from output shaft.
5. Rear planetary gear assembly
Remove rear planetary gear from rear planetary ring gear.
Check operation of No.2 one–way clutch
Hold the planetary gear and turn the one–way clutch inner
race. The one–way clutch inner race should turn freely
counterclockwise and should lock clockwise.

Using vernier calipers, measure the distance between the
sun gear input drum and direct clutch drum as shown in the
figure.
If the values are nonstandard, check for an improper
installation.
Coat the assembled bearing and race with petroleum jelly
and install it onto the forward clutch.
19. Second coast brake piston assembly
Coat the oil seal ring with ATF and install it to the second
coast brake piston.
Install the washer, spring and piston to the piston rod.
Install the E–ring.
(1): Second coast brake piston
(2): Oil seal
(3): Piston rod
20. Snap ring
Coat two new oil seals with ATF and install them to the
piston cover.
Install the spring, second coast brake piston assembly and
piston cover to the case.
Using snap ring pliers, install the snap ring.mm (in.)

Check piston stroke of second coast brake
Place a mark on the second coast brake piston rod as
shown in the figure.
Using wire gage, measure the stroke by applying the
compressed air (4–8kg/cm
2, 57–114 psi or 392–785kPa)
as shown in the figure.
If the values are nonstandard, check for an improper
installation.
21. Race
Coat the race with petroleum jelly and install it onto the
overdrive suppor t assembly.
22. OD support
Aim the bolt and oil holes of the overdrive suppor t toward
the valve hole side, and align them with the bolt hole of the
transmission case and insert.mm (in.)

Install the (stepped ring) flange with the flat side of the
flange facing the disc.
Install the snap ring.
32.Race
Coat the race with petroleum jelly and install it onto the oil
pump.
33.Oil pump
Coat the O–ring with ATF and install it around the pump
body.
Place the oil pump through the input shaft, and align the
bolt holes of the pump body with the transmission case.
Hold the input shaft, and lightly press the oil pump body to
slide the oil seal rings on the stator shaft through the direct
clutch drum.
NOTE:
Do not push on the oil pump strongly or the oil seal ring
will stick to the direct clutch drum.
Install the seven bolts.
