Removal and Installation
General notes
  • Clean the transmission assembly to prevent the ingress of dirt when reassembling.
  • Place the removed parts neatly to one side to facilitate damage assessment and reassembly.
  • If, during repair work, abraded particles are found in the transmission fluid (particles from the clutch or metal swarf), the transmission must be dismantled completely and cleaned.
  • The oil pipes, oil cooler and torque converter should also be cleaned carefully. In the case of extreme soiling they should be renewed.

NOTE:

In the case of abraded particles of metal, the valve body, oil pipes, oil cooler and torque converter should be renewed.

  • The brake bands and friction plates must not be allowed to come into contact with cleaning agent.
  • The only permitted cleaning agent is paraffin.
  • When using new clutch plates, immerse them in automatic transmission fluid for approximately 30 minutes prior to installation.
  • Before taking measurements, compress all the clutches in which axial play is detected to squeeze the oil out from in between the plates.
  • All sliding parts should be lubricated with automatic transmission fluid before installation.
  • Thrust washers and needle roller bearings should be positioned using Vaseline when reassembling.
  • In the following text, O/D stands for ”Overdrive".
  • The thrust washers and needle roller bearings are identified by their code number. This code number relates to the Parts Microfiche.
