I. 1ST-Reverse Brake Assembly

NOTICE: When installing new clutch discs in the 1st-reverse brake, underdrive brake, underdrive clutch, intermediate brake, forward clutch or direct clutch assemblies, the new clutch discs MUST be soaked in Dexron-III Automatic Transmission Fluid GM P/N 12346143 or equivalent, two hours prior to installation. This causes the clutch material on the discs to permeate with fluid which will aide in ease of assembly and prevent clutch overheating on first time engagement.
