ASSEMBLY

NOTE: If the transmission is being reconditioned (clutch/seal replacement) or replaced, it is necessary to perform the TCM Adaptation Procedure using the scan tool (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

NOTE: During the measurement the snap ring (7) must contact the upper bearing surface of the groove in the outer multiple-disc carrier (8).

NOTE: Pay attention to sequence of discs. If the original clutch discs are reused, be sure to return the disc identified on disassembly as belonging on top of the spring washer (4) to its original location. Place new friction multiple-discs in ATF fluid for one hour before installing.

CAUTION: Apply only light pressure (less than 10 N (3 lbs.) of force) to the clutch pack when measuring the clutch clearance with the feeler gauge. Applying excessive force to the clutch will give an incorrect reading and lead to a transmission failure.

NOTE: The intermediate plate can generally be used several times. The plate must not be coated with additional sealant

NOTE: Insure that the pinion gears are fully seated in the Rear Annulus (Hollow) Gear. If 50% of the pinion gear splines protrude, the Rear Annulus Gear was installed upside down in the K2 Clutch Retainer.

NOTE: Verify that there are no nicks or other irregularities in the surface of the transmission case that will cause an inaccurate measurement.

NOTE: If end-play is incorrect, transmission is incorrectly assembled, or the geartrain end-play shim is incorrect. The geartrain end-play shim is selective.

NOTE: If necessary, a combination of shims can be used to achieve the required end-play.

NOTE: The output shaft shim should be 0.3 mm (0.012 in.). If a 0.3 mm (0.012 in.) shim is not available, use a 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) 0.4 mm (0.016 in.) or 0.5 mm (.020 in.) shim.
