Notes
Inspect the input shaft assembly for wear and damage. If the input shaft is worn or damaged, replace it and also check the related part of the input shaft assembly for wear and damage.
Inspect the reverse brake piston and the O-rings. Check the spring retainer for wear and damage. Inspect the clearance between the brake end-plate and the top disc. If the clearance is out of tolerance, inspect the brake discs and plates for wear and damage. If the discs and plates are worn or damaged, replace them as a set. If they are OK, adjust the clearance with the brake end-plate.
Check the planetary carrier for wear and damage. If the planetary carrier is worn or damaged, replace it and also check the planetary carrier pinion gears, the reverse brake, and the drive pulley shaft splines for wear and damage.
Check the sun gear for wear and damage. If the sun gear is worn or damaged, replace it and also check the planetary carrier pinion gears, the forward clutch, and the drive pulley shaft splines for wear and damage.
Check the ring gear for wear and damage. If the ring gear is worn or damaged, replace it and also check the planetary carrier and the reverse brake for wear and damage.
Check the thrust needle bearing and the thrust washers on the planetary carrier for wear and damage. If the thrust needle bearing or the thrust washer are worn or damaged, replace them and adjust the clearance with the thrust shim.
Check the control shaft assembly for wear and damage. If the control shaft assembly is worn or damaged, replace it as an assembly.
Check the park pawl and the pawl shaft for wear and damage. If the park pawl or the pawl shaft are worn or damaged, replace them and also check the park gear for wear and damage.
