40. NOTE: Note the position of the low/reverse pressure plate. When installing the center support, the long support legs must fit through the low/reverse pressure plate and rest on the OWC (One-Way Clutch).
Position the low/reverse pressure plate so that the center support legs fit through the pressure plate and rest on the OWC (One-Way Clutch) and install the low/reverse pressure plate.
41. Soak the low/reverse clutch in clean automatic transmission fluid.
42. Align the low/reverse clutch pack with the pressure plate and install it in the transaxle case temporarily reversing the wave spring and top steel plate.
43. Install the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 on the side of the center support with the long support legs.
44. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement A, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the contact surface of the low/reverse clutch piston.
45. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement B, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the leg surface of the center support.
46. Subtract measurement B from measurement A and record as measurement C.
47. Install the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 on the transaxle case.
48. Using a suitable depth micrometer, measure and record as measurement D, the distance from the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the top of the OWC (One-Way Clutch).
49. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement E, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the top of the low/reverse clutch at 3 different points and average the 3 distances.
50. Subtract measurement E from measurement D and record as measurement F.
51. Subtract measurement F from measurement C to get the low/reverse clutch clearance. The clearance should be between 0.406 mm (0.015 in) and 2.000 mm (0.078 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 clutch pack.
52. NOTE: When the low/reverse clutch is correctly installed, the wave spring is on top.
Remove the top low/reverse clutch steel plate and wave spring and correctly install the plates back in the transaxle case.
53. NOTE: Be sure the center support is installed with the long support legs facing down and the feed holes facing the front of the transaxle.
Install the center support with the long legs facing down and the feed holes aligned with the feed holes in the transaxle case.
1. Long center support legs face down
2. Feed holes face the front of the transaxle case

1. No. 5 thrust bearing
2. No. 6 thrust bearing
55. Install the center sun gear.
56. Install the center carrier/front ring gear assembly.
57. Install the No. 7 and No. 8 thrust bearings.
1. No. 7 thrust bearing
2. No. 8 thrust bearing
58. Install the front planetary/rear ring gear assembly.
59. Install the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch wave spring.
60. Soak the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch pack in clean automatic transmission fluid.
61. Install the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch pack.
62. Install the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch pressure plate.
63. NOTICE: Be sure to install the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch beveled snap ring with the flat side facing down or the snap ring can come loose, causing damage to the transaxle.
Install the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch beveled snap ring with the flat side down with the gap facing the front of the transaxle.
1. Forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch snap ring
2. Forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch snap ring gap
64. Using a suitable tool, seat the snap ring in the snap ring groove.
65. Install Dial Indicator Gauge With Holding Fixture 100-002 or a suitable dial indicator on the transaxle case and position the plunger on the top forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch friction plate.
66. Install the new low/reverse and forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch feed seals in the transaxle case.
67. Apply 483 kPa (70 psi) of air pressure to the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch piston port while recording the clutch pack clearance on the dial indicator. The clearance should be between 0.076 mm (0.002 in) and 1.840 mm (0.072 in). If the clearance is out of range, check the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch pack for correct installation and the transaxle for correct assembly. If the forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch pack is correctly installed, install a new forward (1, 2, 3, 4) clutch pack.
68. Install the front planetary sun gear and shell assembly.
69. Install the No. 10 thrust bearing.
