  9. Using 2 feeler gauges, measure clearance between backing plate and snap ring. (Scheme 148) Ensure clearance is as specified. See «FORWARD CLUTCH CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l60-e4l65-e-overhaul-testing) table. If clearance is not as specified, install proper size backing plate with chamfered side upward.

  11. If clearance is not as specified, select proper backing plate to obtain correct clearance. See «3-4 BACKING PLATE SPECIFICATIONS»(/cadillac/escalade/gmt800-2001-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4l60-e4l65-e-overhaul-testing) table. Air check all clutches at feed holes in turbine shaft. (Scheme 152)
  12. During overrun clutch test, air pressure will blow past forward clutch piston seals and exit out forward clutch feed hole in turbine shaft. Turbine shaft seals require sizing and should be installed before oil pump installation. Position Seal Installer (J-36418-1B) on input shaft. (Scheme 153) Adjustment screw in seal installer must be adjusted to obtain correct height for each seal installation. Install 4 turbine shaft seals.
