Tools Required

Important: Lubricate all components as the assembly progresses. Use J 36850 or the equivalent.

1. Apply sealant GM P/N United States 12345739, GM P/N Canada 10953472 or equivalent to the transmission case to adapter plate mating surface.



2. Install the ball detent and the spring in the front offset lever.



3. Do the following in order to install the transmission case and the offset lever:

3.1.	Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL in order to keep the 3rd/4th shift shaft from engaging.

3.2.	Install the offset lever.

3.3.	Compress the front offset lever together while sliding it onto the shift shaft. This will prevent the spring release of the inner components.

3.4.	Slide the transmission case onto the gear clusters and the shift rail components.




4. Apply threadlock GM P/N United States 12346004, GM P/N Canada 10953480 or equivalent to the threads of the shift lever guide bolts.




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Install the shift lever guide bolts and pull up on 5th/6th and reverse shift rail assembly. This will help align the slot of the shift interlock plate with the guide bolt hole.

10. Apply sealant GM P/N United States 12345739, GM P/N Canada 10953472 or the equivalent to the mating surface of the cover plate.



11. Install the transmission case cover and the case cover bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 20 N·m (15 Ib ft).




12. Install the reverse lockout body and bolt in the cover plate.
