All vehicles

NOTICE: The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the Material specification and/or the transmission fluid level indicator for the correct fluid. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this transaxle and torque converter being serviced.

NOTICE: Do not mix Mercon(R) V or Mercon(R) LV transmission fluid. This may cause erratic shift feel, erratic shift timing and/or transmission failure.

NOTE: Transmission fluid application:
- Early build vehicles require MERCON(R) V
- Late build vehicles require MERCON(R) LV

61. Lubricate the forward clutch piston seals with petroleum jelly.





62. Position the forward clutch piston in place in the transaxle case.





63. NOTE: Install the 2-6 Spring Compressor 307-584/1 with the stepped end of the cylinder facing downward when pushing the forward clutch piston into the bore.

Using the 2-6 Spring Compressor 307-584/1, push the forward clutch piston down into the bore.





64. Install the forward clutch piston return spring with the tabs facing downward.





65. NOTE: Install the Forward/Overdrive Spring Compressor with the stepped end of the cylinder facing upward when compressing the forward clutch piston return spring.

NOTE: Before compressing the forward clutch piston return spring, make sure the spring is centered.

Install the Forward Clutch Spring Compressor 307-574 (307-574/1 and 307-574/2) and the 2-6 Spring Compressor 307-584 (307-584/1 and 307-584/2) and compress the forward clutch piston return spring.





66. NOTE: Forward Clutch Spring Compressor and the Forward/Overdrive Spring Compressor not shown for clarity.

Install the forward clutch piston return spring snap ring.

- Install the snap ring.

- The snap ring gap should be at the top of the transaxle case.





67. Remove the Forward Clutch Spring Compressor 307-574 (307-574/1 and 307-574/2) and the 2-6 Spring Compressor 307-584 (307-584/1 and 307-584/2).





68. Install the forward clutch wave spring.





69. Lubricate the forward clutch pack in clean transmission fluid.





70. Install the forward clutch pack assembly.

1. Position the forward clutch pack assembly in the case.

2. Make sure the alignment tab on the clutch pack is positioned in the correct location.





71. Install the low OWC.





72. NOTE: The low OWC snap ring gap must be positioned as shown so that the low/reverse clutch pressure plate tab fits into the gap when it is installed later in this procedure.

Install the low OWC snap ring.





73. Compare the position of the low OWC snap ring gap with the tab on the low/reverse clutch pressure plate to be sure that the gap is in the right position.





74. Install the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture 100-002 on the transaxle case and position the plunger on a top friction disc tab.





75. Install a new forward clutch feed seal.





76. Apply 483 kPa (70 psi) of air pressure to the forward clutch piston port while recording the clutch pack clearance on the Dial Indicator. The clearance should be between 0.85 mm (0.033 in) and 2.41 mm (0.095 in). If the clearance is out of range, check the forward clutch pack and low OWC for correct installation. If the forward clutch pack and low OWC is correctly installed, install a new forward clutch pack.





77. Remove the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture 100-002 from the transaxle case.

78. Install the No. 11 stator support thrust bearing.





79. Install the front planetary carrier hub.





80. Install the No. 10 front sun gear thrust bearing.





81. Install the front sun gear and shell assembly.





82. Install the front carrier and rear ring gear assembly.





83. Install the No. 8 front/center planetary gear assembly and the No. 7 center sun gear thrust bearings.





84. Install the center planetary carrier and front ring gear assembly.





85. NOTE: The groove on the center sun gear is installed facing up.

Install the center planetary sun gear.





86. Install the No. 6 center sun gear and the No. 5 center/rear planetary thrust bearings.





87. Install the rear planetary gear carrier assembly.





88. NOTICE: Failure to align the tab on the bottom of the low/reverse pressure plate with the gap in the low One-Way Clutch (OWC) snap ring may result in damage to the transaxle.

Install the low/reverse clutch pressure plate.

1. Make sure the tab on the bottom of the pressure plate fits in the gap of the low OWC snap ring.

2. Install the low/reverse clutch pressure plate.





89. Measure the depth of the low/reverse clutch pressure plate where the tab fits into the gap of the low OWC snap ring and directly across from it. If the pressure plate is seated correctly, the depth should be the same. If the depths are different, rotate the snap ring so that the gap fits around the tab on the pressure plate.





90. Lubricate the low/reverse clutch pack with clean automatic transmission fluid.





91. Install the low/reverse clutch pack.





92. Install the low/reverse pressure plate.





93. Using a suitable straightedge and the Depth Micrometer 303-D075, measure and record as measurement A, the distance from the transaxle case deck surface to the low/reverse pressure plate.





94. Using the same straightedge and the Depth Micrometer 303-D075, measure and record as measurement B, the distance from the low/reverse clutch piston to the cover assembly deck surface.





95. Subtract measurement B from measurement A and add 1.6 mm (0.063 in), to compensate for the thickness of the gasket, to get the low/reverse clutch clearance. The clearance should be between 1.01 mm (0.040 in) and 2.47 mm (0.1 in). If the clearance is out of range, check the low/reverse clutch pack for correct installation. If the low/reverse clutch pack is correctly installed, install a new low/reverse clutch pack.






96. Install the intermediate clutch pressure plate.





97. Lubricate the intermediate clutch pack assembly in clean transmission fluid.





98. Install the intermediate clutch pack assembly.





99. Install the intermediate clutch pack wave spring.





100 Using a suitable straightedge and the Depth Micrometer 303-D075, measure and record as measurement A, the distance from the transaxle case deck surface to a low point on the intermediate clutch wave spring.
