ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit no forward gear ranges due to the misalignment of the forward/coast clutch cylinder snap ring with respect to the legs of the
forward clutch piston.
ACTION
During assembly of the forward/coast clutch cylinder, the gap in the select fit retaining ring should be located midway (i.e., 45 degrees) between adjacent
legs of the forward clutch piston. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Prior to installing the forward and coast clutch plates into the cylinder, note the location of the four (4) forward piston legs (Figure 1).
