25. CAUTION: During removal, do not misalign the intermediate/overdrive cylinder assembly in the case bore. This can damage the case bore.

Remove the intermediate/overdrive cylinder assembly.





26. Remove the intermediate clutch piston return spring.





27. CAUTION: During removal, do not misalign the center support in the case bore. This can damage the case bore.

Carefully remove the center support assembly.





28. Remove the No. 6 center support thrust washer.





29. NOTE: Tag the parts for identification during installation.

Remove the intermediate clutch rear pressure plate.
1. Remove the intermediate clutch pressure apply plate.
2. Remove the intermediate clutch pack.
3. Remove the intermediate clutch rear pressure plate.





30. Remove the intermediate band.





31. NOTE: When installing the special tool, each leg of the special tool must be rotated to engage notches on the input shell prior to tightening the top cross bar.

Using the special tool, remove the direct clutch, forward clutch and input shell as an assembly.





32. Remove the reverse planet retaining ring.





33. Remove the reverse planet assembly, No. 10B, and the No. 11 reverse planet carrier thrust washers.





34. WARNING: Use care when removing the output shaft retaining ring. The output shaft can fall out. Do not reuse the output shaft retaining ring.

Remove the output shaft retaining ring.





35. Remove the output shaft ring gear and hub assembly.





36. WARNING: Use care not to drop the output shaft while rotating the transmission.

2. Reverse clutch hub.
3. Low/reverse one way clutch assembly.





37. Using the special tools, remove the extension housing seal.





38. Using the special tool, remove the extension housing bushing.





39. Remove the eight bolts, one stud and the extension housing. Remove and discard the extension housing gasket.

40. NOTE: The parking gear is press fit to the output shaft.

Remove the output shaft and park gear assembly.





41. Remove the No. 13 thrust bearing.





42. Remove the plastic orifice lube plug from the rear of the case and discard.

54. NOTE: The short fluid inlet tube should be removed only if it is loose or damaged.

If required, remove the short fluid inlet tube.
55. Inspect the case assembly for cracks and stripped threads. Inspect the gasket surfaces and mating surfaces for burrs. Check the case vent assembly for obstructions and check all fluid passages for obstructions.
56. Inspect the case assembly bushing for scores. Check all parking linkage parts for wear or damage.
57. If the transmission case assembly thread is damaged, repair kits (helicoil) can be purchased from local jobbers. To repair a damaged thread, follow procedures furnished in the helicoil kit.
