LeSabre V6-231 3.8L VIN 3 SFI (1988)
Figure 3 - Correct Press In Depth Of 3rd Roller Clutch Dam
11.
The lube dam must be installed on most 1986 and newer models between the input and reaction carriers. Leaving a worn, damaged or missing
lube dam will allow too much fluid to leak into the bottom pan. Refer to Service Bulletin 86-7440-9.
IMPORTANT:
When reassembling a 3rd roller clutch, ensure that the lube dam is pressed to the proper depth. If the 3rd roller clutch is mated to the thrust
needle bearing instead of the washer, then:
-
press the dam to a depth of 20.72/20.92 mm (0.816/0.824") as measured from the bottom side (sprag side) of the outside race to the
wide flat edge of the dam as shown in Figure 3.
If using the thrust washer, press the dam (on models so equipped) to a depth of 20.04/20.12 mm (0.789/0.792") as measured from the
bottom side (sprag side) of the outside race to the wide flat edge of the dam as shown in Figure 3.
