1. Soak the clutch discs thoroughly in ATF for a minimum of 30 minutes.

2. Install new O-rings (A) on the 1st-hold clutch piston (B), and install the 1st-hold clutch piston in the 1st clutch piston (C).






3. Install new O-rings (A) (B) on the 1st clutch piston (C), and install the 1st/1st-hold clutch piston in the 1st clutch drum (D) while applying pressure and rotating to ensure proper seating. Do not pinch the O-rings.






4. Install new O-rings (A) on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th clutch piston (B).






5. Install the clutch pistons in the clutch drums (C) while applying pressure and rotating to ensure proper seating. Do not pinch the O-rings.

9. Check the placement of the clutch spring compressor attachment. If either end of the clutch spring compressor attachment is set over an area of the spring retainer that is unsupported by the return spring, reset the clutch spring compressor attachment over the proper position.






10. Set the clutch spring compressor attachment (A) on the spring retainer (B) of the 3rd and 5th clutches so the clutch spring compressor attachment works on the clutch return spring (C).






11. Check the placement of the clutch spring compressor attachment. If either end of the clutch spring compressor attachment is not set over the clutch return spring end (A), reset the clutch spring compressor attachment over the return spring end.






12. Compress the return spring until the snap ring can be installed.






13. Install the snap ring using the snap ring pliers.






14. Remove the clutch spring compressor set.

15. Install the 1st-hold clutch flat-plate (A), alternately install the 1st-hold clutch discs (B) (3) and the 1st-hold clutch wave-plates (C) (2) in the 1st clutch drum (D), then install 1st-hold clutch plate B (E) with the flat side toward the top disc.






16. Install the disc spring (F) on 1st-hold clutch plate B in the direction shown. Starting with the 1st clutch wave-plate, alternately install the 1st clutch wave-plates (G) (5) and the 1st clutch discs (H) (5), then install the clutch end-plate (I) with the flat side toward the top disc.

17. Starting with the 2nd clutch flat-plate, alternately install the clutch flat-plates (A) (4) and the clutch discs (B) (4) in the 2nd clutch drum (C), and alternately install the clutch wave-plates (D) (3) and the clutch discs (B) (3). Install the clutch end-plate (E) with the flat side toward the top disc.






18. Install the disc spring (A) in the 3rd clutch drum (B) in the direction shown. Starting with the 3rd clutch flat-plate, alternately install the clutch flat-plates (C) (3) and the clutch discs (D) (3), and alternately install the clutch wave-plates (E) (2) and the clutch discs (D) (2). Install the clutch end-plate (F) with the flat side toward the top disc.






19. Install the disc spring (A) in the 4th clutch drum (B) in the direction shown. Starting with the 4th clutch flat-plate, alternately install the clutch flat-plates (C) (3) and the clutch discs (D) (3), and alternately install the clutch wave-plates (E) (2) and the clutch discs (D) (2). Install the clutch end-plate (F) with the flat side toward the top disc.






20. Install the disc spring (A) in the 5th clutch drum (B) in the direction shown. Starting with the 5th clutch flat-plate, alternately install the clutch flat-plates (C) (3) and the clutch discs (D) (3), and alternately install the clutch wave-plates (E) (2) and the clutch discs (D) (2). Install the clutch end-plate (F) with the flat side toward the top disc.






21. Install the snap ring using a screwdriver to secure the clutch end-plate.






22. Check that the clutch piston moves by applying air pressure into the fluid passage.
