NOTE
Make sure that the transmission is on a maintenance stand so that the input housing points up.
If ring gear fails, use the procedure for removal of external ring gear. Do not remove ring gear
unless converter pump cover assembly or ring gear is to be replaced. If ring gear is to be
removed, go to Step 1. If ring gear is not to be removed, go to Step 5.
1. Put pry bar (Figure 1, Item 6) between two studs (Figure 1, Item 7) to keep converter pump cover assembly
(Figure 1, Item 1) from turning when removing the f ex disk nuts (Figure 1, Item 4), if shipping brackets are
not in place.
2. Remove six f ex disk nuts (Figure 1, Item 4) from the external-splined ring gear (Figure 1, Item 5). Remove
shipping brackets if they are installed.
3. Install two 3/8-16 x 2 inch jack bolts (Figure 1, Item 2) in jack bolt holes (Figure 1, Item 3) in ring gear (Figure
1, Item 5).
4. Turn one jack bolt (Figure 1, Item 2), then turn the other jack bolt (Figure 1, Item 2), repeating until
external-splined ring gear (Figure 1, Item 5) loosens from converter pump cover assembly (Figure 1, Item 1).
Remove external-splined ring gear (Figure 1, Item 5).
