1966 Buick LeSabre Base, 2D Coupe, Eng CD MA, Automatic TransSECTION Cleaning & Inspection

Wash all metal parts except stator and rotor assemblies. Clean bearings and inspect for sealing, pitting or roughness. Slip rings may be cleaned with 400 grain polishing cloth (rotate shaft while cleaning to prevent flat sports on rings). Slip ring maximum out of round limit is.001" (Cadillac & Chevrolet) and.002" (Buick & Oldsmobile). Turn slip rings in a lathe to correct and remove only sufficient material to make rings smooth and round. Polish with crocus cloth while spinning rotor in lathe and blow away all dust.

NOTE: Slip rings are not replaceable, excessive damage will require rotor assembly replacement.

If brushes worn more than halfway, replace.
