Locate the steel washer (with the two flat sides in
the hole) on the rear clutch hub. Mount the bronze
washer and the front clutch.

Place the long pressure rod against the rear band,
place the lever in position and insert the shaft from
side, at the same time holding the spring in place so
that the shaft engages. NOTE! One end of the
spring must lie against the lever throughout to
avoid scratching the cylinder.

Insert the complete clutch assembly (front and rear
clutch) and fit the end plate. Check that the O-ring
is in place and intact. Check also the small O-ring on
the hub of the end plate.
Clean, inspect and if necessary exchange pistons and
piston seals. Lubricate the servo pistons and insert
in the servo cylinders.

a. Place the short pressure rod against the front
band, place the lever in position, and place the
automatic adjustment carrier against the front
band. Insert the shaft from the side through the
carrier and lever simultaneously. Adjust the
spring on the adjusting screw so that it lies 1.52 thread flights from the lever.
b. Make basic adjustment of front and rear band.
See section "Front band, adjustment" resp.
Rear band, adjustment".
Check the function of the automatic adjustment
by repeated operation of the servo for the front
brake band by means of compressed air. The adjusting screw should therewith be turned towards
the stop (when initially unadjusted). Poor functioning may be caused by the threads sticking or
insufficient force exerted by the adjusting spring.

To ensure that the correct axial play is obtained in
subsequent measuring, the bearing in the torque converter housing should be tapped up to its lock ring.
(In transmissions of later design, the outer ring of
the bearing is accessible through two holes in the torque converter housing.)

FITTING TORQUE CONVERTER HOUSING

17.
16.

Place the gasket for the torque converter housing
in position. Mount the housing while simultaneously
fitting the contact washer onto the input shaft and
the three pipes inside the rear bottom cover. See
page 472-13.
The washer must be located between the bearing
and the step on the input shaft. Tighten the screws
to the specified torque. Fit the lower sprocket so
as to true up the shaft radially.

Mount the indicator dial and prize up under the
planet carrier with a screwdriver. The play should
be 0.01-0.03" (0.25-0.75 mm); if it is not within
these limits, adjust by shimming between the ring
gear and the forward sun gear, or between the washer and bearing on the input shaft.

NOTE
Do not tighten the sprocket wheel before checking
the play in the gear train.

Mount the torque converter and oil pump. This
must be done with great care to avoid damaging
the seal ring. Tap the pump housing with a plastic
mallet and tighten the screws.
Check that the pressure pipe from the pump to the
valve housing not have become deformed. Compare
the removed pipe with a new one.
Fit the two wide-bore oil pipes to the pump. Check
that the O-ring to the suction line is in place. Fit
the short pipe between the valve housing and torque
converter housing.

sure there are no scratches on the drum. If scratches
are found, the drum must be exchanged. Small blueannealed areas can be accepted.
Check that the cylinder is free from scratches. Check
all seals and clutch discs; If the clutch has been subjected to heat replace all the seals. Small scratches on
the pistons can be smoothed off with a fine cleaning
cloth. Check the small 0-rings on the clutch housing
hub. Small scratches on the piston can be smoothed
off with a fine cleaning cloth. Check the small 0-ring
on the clutch housing hub.

been subjected to intensive heat it should be replaced.
4. Place the spring seat on the spring.
5. Compress the spring in a press with tool 8790081 and
fit the lock ring. See page 472-16.

Begin assembly of clutch discs with an outer disc,
finishing with a spacer disc and pressure plate.
7. Fit lock ring.

NOTE
Th~re are two versions of the rear sun wheel and
the planet gear carrier and planet gear. The sun
wheel of one version and the planet gear carrier/
planet gear of the other version cannot be used together.
Identification grooves are used on the later version
to enable the two designs to be distinguished.
The rear sun wheel has a groove cut into the tops
of the cogs while the planet gear carrier has a groove
round its perimeter.

RING GEAR

Exchanging

It may be necessary to exchange the ring gear if its male
teeth have been damaged, e.g. by misuse of the parking
pawl.
NOTE! If the ring gear has jammed on the pinion splines,
the latter can be removed together with the pinion bearing housing.
Remove lock ring and pull out shaft.
