Tools Required

J 23327 Clutch Spring Compressor

1. Using a feeler gage (1) measure the first-reverse brake clearance between the number 2 inner one-way clutch race snap ring (7041) and the first-reverse brake flange snap ring (7042). If the clearance is greater than 0.58-1.92 mm (0.023-0.075 in), replace the first-reverse discs and plates.



2. Remove the number 2 inner one-way clutch race snap ring (7041), being careful not to damage the inside of the transaxle case.



3. Remove the eight first-reverse brake discs and plates (7043, 7044), starting with the first-reverse brake flange (7042).
4. Remove the first-reverse brake damper plate (7045).
5. Inspect all discs and plates for discoloration or abnormal wear.



6. Install a J 23327 and J 37284 on the first-reverse brake return spring assembly inside of the transaxle case. Tighten the tool until you are able to remove the first-reverse brake return spring snap ring (7046). This will release the first-reverse brake return spring assembly (7047).



7. Remove the first-reverse brake return spring assembly (7047), exposing the first-reverse brake piston (7049).



8. Remove the piston (7049) from the transaxle case.
9. Remove the piston seals (inner and outer) from the piston (7049).



10. In order to remove the first-reverse brake piston, slowly apply low pressure compressed air into the first-reverse brake fluid pressure passage, identified in the illustration by the number 1.
