This view shows the rear roller clutch and race installed. The rollers have accordion style springs that push the rollers towards the race. You set the race in place first. Set the rollers in place next, and install the springs last. Watch the spring install as sometimes they like to turn sideways at one end. | This view shows the rear roller clutch and race installed.

Snap ring installed on the output shaft. Snap ring sets on top of the rear ring gear before the rear planet is installed. This retains the shaft into the transmission. If the snap ring will not go into the groove, recheck the parts installation to resolve the clearance problem. | Snap ring installed on the output shaft.

Some modulators are "thread in" design (early trans, pre- 1970). Push in design shown in photo. The pin must be there for proper operation of the modulator. | Some modulators are "thread in" design (early trans, pre- 1970). Push in design shown in photo.
