FITTING TORQUE CONVERTER HOUSING

17. Mount the indicator dial 784062 in holder 879006
and prize up under the planet carrier with a screw-
driver. The play should be 0.01—0.03” (0.25—0.75

mm); if it is not within these limits, adjust by shim-
|

ming between the ring gear and the forward sun
gear, or between the washer and bearing on the in-
put shaft.

REMOVING REAR CLUTCH PISTON

Assembling the rear clutch

1. Check the needle bearing and bushing in the hub. Make
sure there are no scratches on the drum. If scratches
are found, the drum must be exchanged. Small blue-
annealed areas can be accepted.

Check that the cylinder is free from scratches. Check
all seals and clutch discs; if in doubt, fit new parts. If
the piston has a leaf spring, check that the latter has a
movement of 0.020—0.039 in. (0.5—1.0 mm). Small
scratches on the piston can be smoothed off with a
fine cleaning cloth. Check the small O-ring on the
clutch housing hub.

NOTE
There 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 to-
gether.
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.

Exchanging the ring gear

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.

Reassemble in reverse order.

NOTE: Check that the seal rings rotate freely in their
grooves.
