1. Inspect the forward clutch piston assembly for cuts, nicks or damage.
2. Important: The forward clutch piston assembly may be carefully pressed into the drive pulley assembly by hand.
Install the forward clutch piston assembly into the drive pulley assembly.
3. Install the forward clutch spring washer - some models.
4. Install the forward clutch piston spring.
5. Using the J23456 (1) and the J43074 (2), compress the forward clutch piston spring.
6. Install the forward clutch spring washer.
7. Important: Ensure that the retaining ring is properly seated in the snap ring groove of the variable drive pulley assembly.
Install the retaining ring for the forward clutch piston spring.
8. Remove the J23456 and the J43074.
9. Inspect the input shaft carrier assembly for the following conditions:
^ Damaged or worn journals on the input shaft
^ Damaged or worn splines on the input shaft
^ Damaged or worn pinion gear teeth
^ Damaged or worn thrust washers
^ Proper pinion end play, refer to Input Shaft Carrier Pinion End Play Measurement
10. Inspect the input shaft - inner - bearing assembly for damage or wear.
11. Important: Perform steps 10 through 12 only if replacing the input shaft - inner - bearing assembly.
With the input shaft installed into the J43083 (2), tighten the J44998 (1), into the input shaft - inner - bearing assembly.
12. Using the J43074 (1) and the J44998 (2), remove the input shaft - inner - bearing assembly.
13. Important: When installing the NEW input shaft - inner - bearing assembly, press the flat end of the bearing shell. The flat end of the bearing shell is slightly thicker than the other end.
Using the J43083 (2), J43060 (1) and an arbor press, install a NEW input shaft - inner - bearing assembly.
14. Inspect the input shaft - outer - bearing assembly for damage or wear.
15. Important: Perform steps 14 and 15 only if replacing the input shaft - outer - bearing assembly.
Using the J22912-01 and an arbor press, remove the input shaft - outer - bearing assembly.
16. Important: The input shaft - outer - bearing must rotate freely after installation.
Using the J6133-A and an arbor press, install a NEW input shaft - outer - bearing assembly.
17. Using the J43083 (2), J44939 (1) and a hammer, install a NEW fluid passage sleeve.
18. Important: When installing the 3 teflon fluid seal rings onto the input shaft, begin with the seal closest to the input carrier assembly.
Slide the J43063-1 (2) over the input shaft and position the J43063-1 at the appropriate seal groove. Coat the J43063-1 with transmission fluid.
19. Guide a NEW seal onto the J43063-1.
20. Using the J43063-2 (1), slide the seal into the seal groove.
21. Notice: Size only 1 seal at a time. Sizing more than 1 seal at the same time will result in damage to the seals.
Important: Allow each seal to shrink momentarily before using the J43063-3. It may be necessary to manipulate the seal with your fingers in order to decrease the outside diameter of the seal.
Important: Ensure the J43063-3 bottoms out on the input shaft.
Using the J43063-3, size the fluid seal ring.
22. Leave the J43063-3 in place for at least 5 minutes in order to properly size the fluid seal ring.
23. Repeat steps 17 through 21 for each seal.
24. Using the J43084, install a NEW split spiral fluid seal ring on the input shaft.
25. Important: Ensure that the input shaft O-ring seal (512) is positioned below the fluid seal ring - split spiral ring (513).
Install a NEW input shaft O-ring seal. Apply J36850 to the seal.
26. Install the sun gear thrust washer on the drive pulley assembly.
27. Carefully install the input shaft assembly on the drive pulley assembly. Align the input carrier pinion gears over the sun gear.
28. Install the forward clutch waved plate.
29. Important: The forward clutch plates are designed to fit only one way in the forward clutch assembly. Match the alignment notches on the clutch plates with the corresponding notches on the forward clutch assembly and the input shaft assembly.
Important: Install the forward clutch plates with the friction material facing up, towards the backing plate.
Install the forward clutch plates, two each, starting with a plate with the splines on the outer, external, diameter.
30. Measure the distance between the top outer edge of the retaining ring groove and the top friction plate. Record the measurement.
31. Important: The backing plate identification letter is stamped on the backing plate.
Refer to the Forward Clutch Backing Plate Specifications table in Specifications in order to select the proper packing plate.
32. Install the forward clutch backing plate.
33. Install the retaining ring for the forward clutch backing plate.
34. Install the internal gear thrust washer, tabs down.
35. Install the speed sensor reluctor ring.
36. Install the retaining ring for the speed sensor reluctor ring.
