Reverse Clutch: Reassembly

Assemble components in reverse order of disassembly. Apply ATF to NEW seals. Using feeler gauge, measure clearance between snap ring and pressure plate. See Fig 2 . Clearance should be .020-.031" (.50-.80 mm). Service limit is .047" (1.20 mm).
If clearance is not within specification, install correct pressure plate. Pressure plates range in thickness from .260" (6.60 mm) to .276" (7.00 mm), in .008" (.20 mm) increments. Place assembled reverse clutch assembly on oil pump support and air check assembly.
