Removal
CAUTION:
^
It is important to avoid torsional stresses in the shaft between the planetary gear carrier and the one-way clutch.
^
Prior to removing the overdrive, it is advisable to drive the vehicle with the overdrive engaged and then disengage with the clutch depressed.
^
If this is forgotten, or not possible, the torsional stresses can be removed by engaging/disengaging the overdrive in vehicle. This can be
accomplished by connecting an oil line under 2.0-2.5 MPa (280-35O psi) pressure to the connection for the pressure gauge. With this pressure
connected, the overdrive can be engaged/disengaged by switching on ignition and the overdrive switch.
1. Disconnect the drive shaft from the overdrive flange.
2. Position a support under the engine.
3. Remove the cross member under the transmission.
4. Lower the engine rear end.
5. Disconnect the wires at the solenoid.
6. Remove the nuts retaining the overdrive to the transmission.
7. Pull the overdrive straight backward until released from the transmission output shaft.
