Component Name

1

3-5 Reverse and 4-5-6 Clutch Fluid Seal Ring

Procedure

  1. Place J 46620-3 which is part of J-46620 over the case cover hub and adjust it so that only the bottom seal ring is exposed.
  2. Place a NEW fluid seal ring onto J 46620-3 which is part of J-46620 .
  3. Use J 46620-2 which is part of J-46620 to push the fluid seal ring down over J 46620-3 which is part of J-46620 into the hub ring groove.
  4. Repeat the above steps to install all 4 seal rings, adjusting J 46620-3 which is part of J-46620 to the appropriate ring groove.

Small Chamfer Up

Notice: Do not force J 46620-1 down over the seals as this will roll and damage the seals. The large chamfer is designed to fit over the over stretched seal. Use a hand to help shrink the seal if J 46620-1 is difficult to install over the seal rings.

Procedure

Install J 46620-1 which is part of J-46620 with the large chamfer end down over the fluid seal rings and leave J 46620-1 which is part of J-46620 on the seals for at least 60 seconds.

Large Chamfer Up

Procedure

  1. Install J 46620-1 which is part of J-46620 with the small chamfer end facing down for at least 60 seconds. This will properly size the bottom seal ring.
  2. Leaving J 46620-1 which is part of J-46620 on the fluid seal rings for an extended period of time could cause a fluid leak on the initial clutch piston circuit until the seal rings warm up and expand to the proper dimension.

Component Name

1

Case Cover Assembly

Tip
The fluid seal rings should be in place and not damaged.

2-6 Clutch Feed Passage

Notice: Regulate the air pressure to 40 psi maximum. High pressure could cause the piston to over travel and damage the piston seals.

Procedure

Apply shop air to the 2-6 clutch feed. Observe the 2-6 piston movement.

Tip
Minimal piston movement and excessive air leaking could indicate damage to the 2-6 piston seals or improper assembly.

3

Low and Reverse Clutch Feed Passage

Notice: Regulate the air pressure to 40 psi maximum. High pressure could cause the piston to over travel and damage the piston seals.

Procedure

Apply shop air to the Low and Reverse clutch feed. Observe the Low and Reverse piston movement.

Tip
Minimal piston movement and excessive air leaking could indicate damage to the Low and Reverse piston seals or improper assembly.
