How I rebuild AT K8.

Post by mex »

Not too long ago I took apart my transmission, because the oil leaked and burned out the forward clutch. The whole process has been photographed. I ordered in the US master rebuild kit.

Each clutch pack has a dished plate. Make sure that you put dished plates exactly how they were before.
New parts are in. One part of the big job is done.

Thrust washer, snap ring.

Planetary carrier assembly.

Taking out band strut with anchor pin, snap ring.

Start putting everything together.

Image

When I put back 3-4 clutch, I had a problem. The new plates were thinner than the old ones. I kept the old plates.

Image

Easily put low and reverse hub inner race inside one-way clutch and put it back together.

Image

My car now drives and that makes me happy. :D
