Case Cover Assembly Installation

Tools Required
^ J43969 Case Cover Lifting Bracket
^ J44337 Build Plate Assembly
^ J44996 Input Carrier Alignment Tool





1. Notice: The control valve body assembly must be removed before installing the case cover assembly. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the variable ratio control lever.

Attach the shorter legs of the J43969 to the two open bolt holes on the drive pulley cover.
2. Attach the longer legs of the J43969 to the two open bolt holes on the driven pulley cover.





3. Install two NEW case cover O-ring seals on the transmission case assembly.

4. Notice: Use extreme care when applying sealant. Ensure the bead of sealant does not exceed 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 inch). Excess sealant inside the transmission may cause restrictions resulting in various performance and noise complaints.

Important: Anaerobic sealant GM P/N 22722716 is the only authorized sealant that should be applied to the mating surfaces.

Important: Ensure the bead of sealant is centered on the mating surface between the bolt holes, and on the inside mating surface around the bolt holes.

Apply a 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 inch) bead of sealant GM P/N 22722716 to the mating surfaces of the transmission case assembly.





5. Important: Ensure that the reverse clutch hub assembly and thrust washer are installed into the transaxle case assembly before installing the case cover assembly.

Using a suitable lifting device, carefully lift the case cover assembly - with forward clutch and input shaft - out of the J44337 and lower into the transmission case assembly.





6. Using the J44996 on the end of the input shaft, align the reverse carrier into the reverse clutch hub assembly.
7. Remove the J43969.





8. Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Important: Two of the 14 case cover bolts are longer than the other bolts. These two bolts are used for the driven pulley cover.

Secure the case cover assembly to the transmission case assembly with the 14 case cover bolts.
Tighten the bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) in the sequence shown.





9. Install the remaining 2 bolts on the drive pulley cover.
Tighten the bolts to 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.).
10. Install the remaining 2 bolts on the driven pulley cover.
Tighten the bolts to 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.).
