#### Tools Required

• | SA9143T Input Shaft Seal Installer

• | SA9144T Input Shaft Teflon Ring Set

Notice: Prior to using Input Shaft Seal Installer SA9143T or Input Shaft Seal Ring Set SA9144T, inspect tools for any nicks or burrs that could damage input shaft seals.

Important: Lube the seals with Saturn transaxle fluid.

1. Install input shaft seals using input shaft seal installer and input shaft Teflon® ring set.

• | Installer -- SA9143T

• | Expanders: SA9144T

• | 1st -- Ring Expander (Long) SA9144T-2

• | 2nd -- Ring Expander (Medium) SA9144T-3

• | 3rd -- Ring Expander (Short) SA9144T-4

• | Ring Sizer -- SA9144T-1

• | Install the seals by first placing seals on expander and then using the pusher.

2. Size the seals using the ring sizer SA9144T-1. Use seal sizer by rotating the tool and pushing lightly one seal at a time until all three have been sized.
3. Install the stator shaft needle bearing assembly.
4. Install the input shaft to convertor O-ring.

Important: Lube the O-rings with Saturn Transaxle Fluid.

5. Lube and install the three O-ring clutch seals in grooves on the shaft.
6. Install the 2nd/Rev and 3rd clutch hub thrust washer onto the 2/3 clutch housing. The washer goes on the 3rd gear side of the housing which is smaller. Make sure the slots on the washer line up with the tangs.
7. Install the thrust bearing in the 3rd gear hub using petroleum jelly to help hold in place.
8. Install the 3rd gear in clutch housing by twisting the gear to align the gear hub with the clutch tangs.

While installing into the clutch pack, rotate the gear and hub assembly back and forth to align the clutch plates. If you are not sure that all the clutch plates have been engaged, lift the gear out of the clutch housing and verify that all clutch tangs are aligned.

9. Lube and install the 3rd drive gear bearings assembly into the 3rd gear.
10. Install the thrust bearing on 3rd gear.

Important: To verify repair and installation of 2nd/3rd clutch seals, air check the input shaft.

11. Install the shaft down through 3rd gear and the clutch assembly previously assembled. Use a twisting motion to line up the splines. Be sure 3rd gear fits all the way against 4th gear.
12. Install the 2nd/Reverse drive gear thrust washer. The washer has an internal tang that lines up with the lube slot on the shaft.
13. Using a heat gun, heat the 2nd/Reverse gear needle bearing race and install the race. The race can also be pressed on using SA9118T , but be sure to put press support under the gear that is part of the input shaft.
14. Install the 2nd/Reverse gear thrust bearing.

Important: The 2nd/Reverse gear thrust bearing looks similar to the 4th gear thrust bearing. However, the 2nd/Reverse thrust bearing is slightly larger than the 4th gear thrust bearing. Also, the rollers on the 2nd/Reverse thrust bearing are located closer to the outside edge of the bearing while the rollers on the 4th gear thrust bearing are centered between the inner and the outer edges of the bearing.

15. Lube and install the 2nd/Reverse gear bearing assembly.
16. Install the 2nd/Reverse gear, twist the gear to align the clutch tangs.

While installing the clutch pack, rotate the gear and hub assembly back and forth to align the clutch plates. If you are not sure that all the clutch plates have been engaged, lift the gear out of the clutch housing and verify that all clutch tangs are aligned.

17. Install the 2nd/Reverse thrust bearing with the tab side of the bearing toward the gear.
