Before disassembling, clean the outside of the box with a cleaner or solvent.

Clean the removed parts with a solvent and dry with compressed air.

During disassembly, check the condition of the parts for wear and damage.

Only plastic hammers should be used to separate the parts of the crankcase.

Do not use rags during disassembly: the fibers of the rags can clog the fluid channels.

Some of the parts are similar to each other, so arrange them when disassembling so as not to confuse.

If the clutch or brake band is burnt or the quality of the fluid in the box has deteriorated, then it is imperative to clean the valve block.

We install the gearbox on a special stand or workbench.

Unscrew the bolts securing the clutch housing to the box housing (Fig. 1)

Examine any debris found in the sump and on the magnet to determine the condition of the gearbox parts.

Clutch wear particles indicate wear on the drive plate or brake bands.

Steel particles on the magnet indicate wear on the bearings, gears, or drive plate.

The presence of aluminum particles indicates wear on the bushings or gearbox housing.

If there is a large amount of foreign matter and particles, replace the torque converter and carefully check the condition of the gearbox parts.

Unscrew the rear cover of the gearbox (Fig. 18)

Helpful tips:

If the drive plate or brake band is replaced with new ones, soak the new part in automatic transmission fluid for at least two hours before installing.

Lubricate all oil o-rings, rotating parts, o-rings and moving parts with automatic transmission fluid before assembly.

All O-rings, oil seals and gaskets must be replaced with new ones.

When reassembling, use petroleum jelly, but do not lubricate with grease.

When a bushing needs to be replaced, replace the part (assembly) containing the same bushing.

After applying sealant, assemble within 10 minutes and leave for 30 minutes before filling with automatic transmission fluid.

Next we need to remove the reverse gear servo piston.

To do this, we rest against the servo piston with the wooden handle of the hammer and compress the retaining ring with tongs (Fig. 25)

After that, all parts are washed and defective.

The assembly of the gearbox will be discussed in the next article.
