the clutch race
to
accommodate
the
new
type roller clutch only.
The
new
service planetary
support
is
not pro
vided
with a chamfer and
can
be
used with
the
sprag-type
clutch as
well as
the
new roller
clutch.
The
new chamfered planetary
support
cannot
be
used
with
the
sprag-type
clutch
because
the chamfer could re
duce sprag
contact area on
the
inner
race,
resulting in loss
of
capacity
and
cause premature
clutch
wear.
The
method
of
installing
the
roller-type
clutch on
the center support with a
chamfered
edge
is different from
a
support
with a square
edge as
de
tailed
in
the
following
procedure.

bearing
race and
the
bear
ing
in
the planet carrier using
petro
leum jelly to
retain
them
in
place.
3. Lubricate the bearing surface
on
the
center support,
the rollers of
the
planetary
clutch and
the
cam

in
the carrier with
petroleum
jelly.
4.
Install
the

6. While
applying
forward
pres
sure
on
the
planet

the
rear.
This
will cause
the
clutch rollers
to
roll
toward the
large opening
end
of
the cams
in
the race,
compressing
the
springs slightly,
so
that the
rollers
will ride up
the
chamfer
on
the
planetary
support and onto
the
inner
race.
7. Push
the
planet
carrier all
the
way forward.
8. Check the
