Tip
1. Place J-46620-3 which is part of J-46620 installer over the case hub and
adjust it so that only the bottom seal ring is exposed.
2. Place a NEW fluid seal ring onto J-46620-3 which is part of J-46620 installer .
3. Use J-46620-2 which is part of J-46620 installer to push the fluid seal ring
1 down over J-46620-3 which is part of J-46620 installer into the hub ring
groove.
4. Repeat the above steps to install all 4 seal rings, adjusting J-46620-3 which is
part of J-46620 installer to the appropriate ring groove.

Caution: Do not force J-46620-1 down over the seals as this will roll and damage
the seals. The large chamfer is designed to fit over the over stretched seal. Use a
hand to help shrink the seal if J-46620-1 is difficult to install over the seal rings.
Tip
Install J-46620-1 which is part of J-46620 installer with the large chamfer end down
2 over the fluid seal rings and leave J-46620-1 which is part of J-46620 installer on
the seals for at least 60 seconds.

Large Chamfer Up
Tip
1. Install J-46620-1 which is part of J-46620 installer with the small chamfer end
facing down for at least 60 seconds. This will properly size the bottom seal
ring.
3 2. Leaving J-46620-1 which is part of J-46620 installer on the fluid seal rings for
an extended period of time could cause a fluid leak on the initial clutch piston
circuit until the seal rings warm up and expand to the proper dimension.

Transmission Case Cleaning and Inspection

Caution: Do not use abrasive pads or bristle devices to clean the sealing surfaces. Abrasive
pads produce a fine grit that can effect transmission function. Abrasive pads can also remove
enough metal to create oil leaks.
Caution: After cleaning the transmission components, allow to air dry. Do not use cloth or
paper towels in order to dry any transmission components. Lint from the towels can cause
component failure.
Caution: Do not reuse cleaning solvents. Previously used solvents may deposit sediment
which may damage the component.
Preliminary Procedures
1. Thoroughly clean the transmission case assembly, including case threads, with clean
solvent.
2. Clean gasket sealing surfaces. Remove all residual gasket material.
3. Inspect all threaded holes. If necessary, repair any thread damage.

Warning: The retainer is under tension. Use care when removing or installing the
retainer. Personal injury could result.
Caution: Use caution during removal or installation of the retainer ring to avoid
damage to the case machined surface in the park pawl area. Burrs or raised edges
on the case machined surface can cause the park pawl to bind and prohibit it from
engaging the park gear.
Tip
• Install the retainer with the taper facing away from the backing plate.
7 • Align the retainer opening with the largest gap in the case splines toward the
bottom of the case.
• Install one end of the retainer into the retainer ring groove. Use J 28585 snap
ring remover and work the retainer into the case groove. Use a screwdriver to
hold the retainer away from the case while pushing down on the retainer with
J 28585 snap ring remover .

Caution: Keep thrust washers with the gear it was matched to. The thrust washers are
selective sizes and it is difficult to identify the proper washer thickness. Improper assembly
can cause premature failure of the differential assembly.
• Clean and inspect the differential assembly, pinion gears and thrust washers for
scoring, wear or damage.
• The differential assembly is only serviced as an assembly.
