Tools Required

1. Remove the reverse input clutch housing and drum assembly (605) from the input clutch assembly (621).
2. Remove the stator shaft/selective washer bearing assembly (615).
3. Remove the selective thrust washer (616).



4. Remove the 3rd and 4th clutch backing plate retainer ring (656).

Important: The 3rd and 4th clutch plate stack is different for 2.2L models.

Important: The M30 RPO 3-4 clutch plate stack up is application specific. The stack up on a 2.2L S/T platform is 5 fiber plates, and 6 fiber plates on all other models. The M32 RPO (heavy-duty design) uses 7 fiber plates. These fiber plates are a thinner thickness which can not be used in a M30 stack up. M32 fiber plates must not be used in a M30 design.

Notice: The correct number of fiber plates must be used to avoid damage to the transmission. An incorrect stack up height can cause either excessive clutch slippage or insufficient release, resulting in burned clutch plates.
