OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CAM/OVERDRIVE PISTON RETAINER (Continued)
INSPECTION
Inspect condition of each clutch part after cleaning.
Replace the overrunning clutch roller and spring
assembly if any rollers or springs are worn or dam-
aged, or if the roller cage is distorted, or damaged.
Replace the cam if worn, cracked or damaged.
Replace the low-reverse drum if the clutch race,
roller surface or inside diameter is scored, worn or
damaged. Do not remove the clutch race from
the low-reverse drum under any circumstances.
Replace the drum and race as an assembly if
either component is damaged.
Examine the overdrive piston retainer carefully for
wear, cracks, scoring or other damage. Be sure the
retainer hub is a snug fit in the case and drum.
Replace the retainer if worn or damaged.
ASSEMBLY
(1) Temporarily install overdrive piston retainer in
case. Use 3-4 bolts to secure retainer.
(2) Align and start new clutch cam in the trans-
mission case. Be sure serrations on cam and in case
are aligned (Fig. 181). Then tap cam into case just
enough to hold it in place.

proceeding any further. Narrow ends of cam ramps
should be to left when cam is viewed from front end

mover C-3863-A into piston retainer (Fig. 182).
