Determining dimension a: See Calculating Dimension "a": . 

Determining dimension b: See Calculating Dimension "b": . 

2.65 mm: The amount for settling is taken into account by force F. 

Calculating Dimension "a" (2nd & 4th Gear Brake) 

Assemble transmission up to the last -B2- inner plate. See Assembling Transmission . The last outer plate and 
shim are not installed. 

Place retaining ring with smooth side onto last inner plate. See Fig. 109 .

NOTE:

First outer plate -arrow- and last outer plate (do not install to measure!) are 
always 3 mm thick.

Place 3459 onto retaining ring and turn so that 3 clips align with 3 holes for ATF pump. 

Bolt 3459 to flange for ATF pump with 5 Nm. 

The plate packet for -B2- is now pressed together for the measurements. 

Measure from pump flange/transmission housing -arrow- to 3459 with depth gauge. See Fig. 110 .

Dimension a = Height of 3459 in mm - measured value 

Example calculation:  

z

"start" Height of 3459 = 60.0 mm

z

"minus" Measured value = 32.7 mm  

z

"equals" Calculated value a = 27.3 mm  

Note calculated value a. 

Remove 3459. 

Remove retaining ring. 

Calculating Dimension "b" (2nd & 4th Gear Brake) 

Push piston into ATF pump onto stop. 

Place new paper gasket onto ATF pump. 

Place straightedge "B" onto stator support (arrow) and measure with depth gauge "A" to gasket of pump flange. 
See Fig. 111 .
