For vehicles equipped with a slip yoke, install the No. 17 park, gear thrust bearing. For vehicles equipped with a fixed yoke, install the No. 17 park gear thrust washer.





8. WARNING: Be careful when installing the output shaft not to damage the seals or a transmission leak could occur.

Install the output shaft.





9. CAUTION: The Torx(R) screw has a threadlocking compound. If the screw is removed, it must be discarded and a new screw installed.

If removed, install the parking pawl abutment with a new Torx(R) screw.

Diesel engines

30. CAUTION: Do not apply air pressure to move the low/reverse piston without first installing the friction plates and the snap ring, or damage to the snap ring will occur.

Install a new snap ring and make sure that the snap ring is fully seated in the case snap ring groove.

Diesel applications: Install a new flat snap ring so the tang ends are in the gaps to the right and to the left of the case spline as shown.
^ Check the function of the reverse clutch by applying air to the correct passage (through the case valve body worm trail) for the reverse clutch.
