Electrical Connectors:






66. Install electrical connectors on proper solenoids and sensor until a slight click is felt.
67. Install pump and main control valve body cover gasket onto cover.

Main Control Valve Body Cover:






68. Install cover and tighten to 21-25 Nm (15-18 ft-lb).
69. Rotate transaxle to horizontal position.
70. Place shift control selector lever in the NEUTRAL position.

Transmission Range Sensor:






71. Install Transmission Range (TR) sensor and loosely install two retaining bolts.
72. Align TR sensor slots using Transmission Range Sensor Alignment Tool (MLPS Alignment Tool) T92P-70010-AH.
73. Tighten retaining bolts to 9-12 Nm (7-9 ft-lb). Remove tool.

Chain Cover Bolts:






74. Install remaining chain cover bolts in bellhousing and tighten bolts to 25-28 Nm (18-21 ft-lb) for 10mm and 9-12 Nm (7-9 ft-lb) for 8mm bolts.

Operating And Test Springs:






75. Install test spring, from Overdrive Servo Rod Tool T86P-70023-B in case.

CAUTION: The test spring from the Overdrive Servo Tool is plain in color and has a shorter free height than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.

76. Install overdrive servo piston and overdrive servo rod into case.

Servo Rod Tool:






77. Install Overdrive Servo Rod Tool T86P-70023-B and secure using servo cover bolts. Tighten bolts to 9-12 Nm (7-9 ft-lb).
78. Tighten center screw on tool to 1.13 Nm (10 in-lb).

Dial Indicator:






79. Mount Dial Indicator with Bracketry TOOL-4201-C or equivalent and position stylus through hole in Overdrive Servo Rod Tool. Make certain indicator stylus has contacted overdrive servo piston on a flat surface. Do not contact step on piston. Zero dial indicator.

Overdrive Piston Rod Selection Chart:






80. Back off center screw until piston movement stops and read dial indicator. The reading should be 1.8-3.8 mm (0.070-0.149 inch). If measurement does not meet specifications, refer to overdrive piston rod selection chart to determine which overdrive servo rod to install.
81. If incorrect, install new overdrive servo rod and repeat Steps 85 through 89 to verify amount of piston travel. If within specifications, remove tool and test spring.

Servo Pistons And Test Springs:






82. Install low and intermediate servo spring retainer on test spring, from Low/Intermediate Servo Rod Tool T86P-70023-A. Install test spring into case.

Operating And Test Springs:






CAUTION: The test spring from the Low/Intermediate Servo Tool is plain in color and has a thinner wire diameter than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.

83. If not done previously, remove servo piston small seal from servo band piston. Install servo band piston and rod into case.

89. Install servo piston small seal on servo band piston. Install low and intermediate servo spring retainer on low/intermediate operating spring.

Operating And Test Springs:






CAUTION: The test spring from the Low/Intermediate Servo Tool is plain in color and has a thinner wire diameter than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.

90. Install servo piston springs and servo band pistons. Make sure that they are fully seated.

Operating And Test Springs:






CAUTION The test spring from the Overdrive Servo Tool is plain in color and has a shorter free height than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.

Servo Cover:






Align Tab On Servo Cover:






91 Install servo covers for overdrive and low/intermediate servo using new gaskets and seals. Tighten bolts evenly to 9-12 Nm (7-9 ft-lb).
