PRECAUTIONS TO OBSERVE DURING DIS-
ASSEMBLY, INSPECTION AND ASSEMBLY
OF COMPONENT PARTS
The following precautions should be observed
during assembly of component parts. Where
lubrication is required, use Automatic Trans-
mission Fluid (Type A). Do not use a sealing
material on any gasket or mating surface, al-
ways use new gaskets. Torque all bolts and nuts
to correct specifications. Where snap rings are
used, always make sure they are seated prop-
erly. If mating parts do not go together prop-
erly, always check reason. Do not force.
55.
TORQUE CONVERTER REACTION
SHAFT—INSPECTION
Inspect inside of torque converter reaction shaft
for burrs. Inspect splines on shaft for burrs
and wear. Inspect the reaction shaft seal ring
(neoprene) for deterioration and hardness. In-
spect thrust surface for wear and slight scores.
Do not remove the torque converter reaction
shaft unless inspection reveals it is necessary
to do so.

holes,
and stripped threads. Check for burrs on
mating surfaces. Blow compressed air through
all passages to make sure they are open. Check
pressure take-off plugs for tightness.
Using straight edge, Tool C-3335, inspect
valve body mating surface on transmission case
for any burrs or irregularity in surface. Sur-
faces should be smooth and flat.
Inspect servo and accumulator bores for any
scores or scratches. Light scratches may be
removed with crocus cloth. Check regulator
valve body mating surface in front of case for
any irregularities. Disregard any scratches
which may have been caused by torque con-
verter reaction shaft bolt lock washers.
It is vitally important that band adjusting
screws fit freely into transmission case. When
lock nuts are loose, the adjusting screws must
be finger free. If not, inspect screws and nuts
for pulled threads or foreign material in
threads. This is very important in obtaining
proper band adjustments.
57.
TRANSMISSION EXTENSION—INSPECTION
Inspect extension for cracks in casting and
remove burrs from gasket surface. Inspect vent
(drive type) in top of extension and make sure
it is open and free from dirt, undercoating,
etc.
The purpose of this vent is to prevent
vacuum from forming in transmission case
when it is drained. Vent also releases fumes
and expansion of oil caused by heat. Clean
output shaft rear bearing and dry with com-
pressed air. Do not spin bearing with air pres-
sure. Inspect bearing for rough spots. Do not
remove bearing from extension unless inspec-
tion reveals it is necessary to do so.

OUTPUT SHAFT REAR
BEARING—REMOVAL
If necessary to remove rear bearing, proceed
as follows: Remove output shaft rear bearing
oil seal—if installed. Using pliers, Tool C-760
remove the output shaft rear bearing snap ring.
Inspect ring for distortion. Using driver, Tool
