NOTE: Refer to the EXPLODED VIEW  as needed during the following procedure.
  1. Install the differential assembly in the torque converter housing.
  2. Assemble the mainshaft, countershaft, and secondary shaft.
  3. Join the mainshaft subassembly (A), countershaft subassembly (B), and secondary shaft subassembly (C) together, and install them in the torque converter housing.

  4. If the detent arm was removed, install the detent arm (A) with arm collar (B) on the servo body (C), and install the new lock washer (D) by aligning its cutout (E) with the projection (F) of the servo body. Install and tighten the bolt, then bend the lock tab of the lock washer against the bolt head.

  8. Install the shift fork and reverse selector together on the shift fork shaft and countershaft. Secure the shift fork to the shift fork shaft with the lock bolt and a new lock washer (E), then bend the lock tab of the lock washer against the bolt head.
  9. Install the needle bearing and countershaft reverse gear on the countershaft.
  10. Install the reverse idler gear in the transmission housing (see REVERSE IDLER GEAR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ).
  11. Install the idler gear shaft (see IDLER GEAR SHAFT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ), if it was removed.
  12. Install the three dowel pins and a new gasket on the torque converter housing.
  13. Align the spring pin (A) on the selector control shaft (B) with the transmission housing groove (C) by turning the control shaft.
    NOTE: Do not squeeze the end (D) of the selector control shaft tips together when turning the shaft. If the tips are squeezed together, it will cause a faulty signal or position due to the play between the selector control shaft and the switch.

  14. Place the transmission housing on the torque converter housing. Do not install the mainshaft and countershaft speed sensors before installing the transmission housing on the torque converter housing.
  15. While expanding the snap ring of the secondary shaft bearing using the snap ring pliers, push the transmission housing down to start the secondary shaft bearing through the snap ring. Then release the pliers, and push down the housing until it bottoms and the snap ring snaps in place in the secondary shaft bearing snap ring groove.
  16. Verify that the secondary shaft bearing snap ring (A) is seated in the bearing and housing groove, and that the ring end gap (B) is correct.

  20. Connect the connector (YEL, WHT, and WHT wires) to the shift solenoid valve D.
  21. Connect the connectors to respective solenoid valves:
    • BLU wire to shift solenoid valve A.
    • ORN wire to shift solenoid valve B.
    • GRN wire to shift solenoid valve C.
    • RED wire to shift solenoid valve E.
  22. Install the shift solenoid valve cover (A) with the two dowel pins (B) and the new gasket (C), and tighten the bolts (eight). Install the one bolt with the bracket for the ATF cooler line in the bolt hole (D) in End Cover Installation (see step  34 ).
