5. REMOVE NO.2 ONE-WAY CLUTCH

a. Remove the one-way clutch inner race from the rear planetary gear.
b. Remove the snap ring with a screwdriver.

c. Remove the No. 2 one-way clutch with retainers from the planetary gear.

6. REMOVE NO.2 AND NO.1 THRUST WASHERS
7. REMOVE RACES AND BEARING FROM REAR PLANETARY RING GEAR

8. REMOVE RING GEAR FLANGE
a. Remove the snap ring with a screwdriver.
b. Remove the ring gear flange.
REAR PLANETARY GEAR INSPECTION
MEASURE PLANETARY PINION GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE

Using a feeler gauge, measure the planetary pinion gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance: 0.20 - 0.60 mm (0.0079 - 0.0236 inch)
Maximum clearance: 1.00 mm (0.0394 inch)
If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the planetary gear assembly.
REAR PLANETARY GEAR, NO.2 ONE WAY CLUTCH AND OUTPUT SHAFT ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL RING GEAR FLANGE
a. Install the ring gear flange.

b. Using a screwdriver, install the snap ring.

2. INSTALL RACES AND BEARING
Coat the races and bearing with petroleum jolly, and install them onto the rear planetary ring gear.

Races and bearing diameter

3. INSTALL NO.1 AND NO.2 THRUST WASHERS
a. Coat the thrust washers with petroleum jelly.
b. Install the thrust washers onto both sides of the rear planetary gear.
HINT: Make sure that the lug shapes match the cutout portions on the rear planetary gear.
4. INSTALL NO.2 ONE-WAY CLUTCH
a. Install the one-way clutch and 2 retainers into the rear planetary gear.

HINT: Make sure that the open ends of the guides on the one-way clutch are faced upward.

b. Using a screwdriver, install the snap ring.
c. While turning counterclockwise, install the one-way clutch inner race to rear planetary gear.
5. CHECK OPERATION OF NO.2 ONE-WAY CLUTCH

Hold the planetary gear and turn the one-way clutch inner race. Check that the one-way clutch inner race must be able to turn freely counterclockwise and locks clockwise.
6. INSTALL REAR PLANETARY GEAR ONTO REAR PLANETARY RING GEAR

7. INSTALL OIL SEAL RING
Coat the oil seal ring with Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and install it to the output shaft.
NOTICE: Do not spread the ring ends too match.
HINT: After installing the oil seal ring, check that it rotates smoothly.
