Disassembly And Assembly: Disassembly

The 948TE automatic transmission can be overhauled if the vehicle is beyond its warranty coverage. Verify that the vehicle is no longer covered by warranty, and that applicable parts for overhaul are available before beginning this procedure. A clean work area is necessary to assure a properly functioning transmission after the overhaul procedures are completed. Special tools have been developed and are required to disassemble this transmission. Acquire all of the special tools before starting this procedure.

WARNING:

Always wear safety glasses when cleaning, disassembling and assembling the transmission/transaxle. Contents of the transmission/transaxle can become projectiles (e.g., springs, snap-rings, as well as metal and other debris). Failure to wear safety glasses may result in severe personal injury.

CAUTION:

Tag all snap rings, thrust washers, washers, shims, spacers and thrust bearings, etc. during disassembly for quick identification and assembly. Failure to follow these instructions will cause damage and transmission failure.

  1. Before disassembling the transmission, wash the transmission with a suitable solvent and a siphon pressure washer to remove oily grime and loose dirt. Place the transmission on a clean work surface with ample fluid drainage or absorbency.
  2. Check input shaft end play prior to disassembling the transmission. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURES .
