Note:
The clutch release bearing is lubricated at
time of assembly and no attempt should be made
to lubricate it Refer to Fig. 1-23 when lubricating
the clutch throwout bearing collar. c. Reassembly

To
assemble the clutch to the flywheel, first put
a
small amount of light cup grease in the flywheel
pilot bushing, install the driven plate, with short
end of hub toward the flywheel, then place the pressure plate assembly in position.
With
a clutch
plate aligning arbor or a spare transmission main
shaft, align the driven plate splines leaving the
arbor
in position while tightening the pressure plate
screws evenly.
Next, assemble the flywheel housing to the
engine
and
reinstall the transmission and transfer case or
install
the
engine
in the vehicle, depending on the
procedure of removal. Make sure that the clutch
release bearing
carrier
return spring is hooked in place. For the remainder of the assembly reverse
the operations that were used in removing the
transmission and transfer case or the
engine
referring
to the instructions given in Section J for the transmission and Section D and Dl for the
engine.

d.
Adjust the clutch control cable so there is 3A" [19,05 mm.] free pedal travel. (Refer to Par. 1-3)

Diaphragm Spring Type
(Early
Models)

*
Jeep' vehicles equipped with a Dauntless V-6 en­
gine
use a 10.4" [26,4 cm.] single-plate, dry-disc

clutch,
incorporating a diaphragm-type spring as­
sembly.

When
the clutch pedal is depressed, it
moves
the
clutch
fork in the direction shown in Fig. 1-8. The

clutch
fork, pivoting on a
ball
stud, acts upon the
throwout bearing. The bearing then forces the
prongs of the diaphragm spring in the direction shown in
Fig.
1-8. The diaphragm spring is mounted
so that it pivots on its retaining rings.
This
reverses
the direction of force.
Force
is applied directly to
the three retracting springs which then
move
the
pressure plate
rearward,
away from the driven plate.

The
clutch driven plate assembly slides freely on
the transmission main drive gear splined shaft. It is keyed to the gear shaft by ten splines. The
front end of the main drive gear shaft is piloted by a bushing pressed into a recess in the
rear
end
of the
engine
crankshaft. See Fig. 1-8.

The
outer area of the driven plate is divided into

segments
formed in low waves to provide springs

between
the plate facings and cushion
engagement

of the clutch. A molded facing is riveted to each
side of every
segment.
When the clutch is fully
released, the waved
segments
cause the facings to

spread
approximately .045" [1,14 mm.]. Pressure
plate movement provides an additional clearance
of approximately .030" [0.76 mm.] to assure
full
release of the driven plate. See Fig. 1-8.

The
driven plate assembly is designed to prevent
torsional fluctuation of the
engine
from being
transmitted to the transmission gears. Its hub is

balance.
f. Loosen the clutch attaching
bolts
alternately,
one
turn
at a time, to avoid distorting the clutch
cover flange, until diaphragm spring is released.
g. Support the pressure plate and cover assembly
while removing last bolts; remove pressure plate
and
driven plate from flywheel.

Caution:
Use extreme care to keep clutch driven plate clean.

h.
If it is necessary to disassemble pressure plate,
remove three drive strap-to-pressure plate
bolts
and
retracting springs. Remove pressure plate from

clutch
cover.

Note:
When disassembling,
note
position of
grooves

on
edge
of pressure plate and cover. These marks must be aligned in assembly to maintain balance.

i.
The clutch diaphragm spring and two pivot rings

are
riveted to the clutch cover. Inspect spring, rings

and

GENERAL
A
three speed synchromesh transmission is standard
equipment on all 'Jeep' Universal vehicles.
The
models T90 and T96 transmissions are used

with
the
Hurricane
F4 engine, and models
T86AA
and
T14A transmissions are used with the Daunt­
less
V-6 engine. All model transmissions are similar

in
design with exception of the T14A which is a

fully
synchronized (all forward gears) transmission

with
helical drive gears throughout.
The
transmission assembly is attached to the
rear

face of the flywheel bell housing and is supported on a rubber insulator at the frame center cross member which forms the
rear
engine
support.

All
4-wheel-drive vehicles are equipped with a
transfer
case attached to the
rear
of the trans­mission.
Transfer
case service and repair procedures

are
described in Section
K.

Models
CJ-5A,
and
CJ-6A
are equipped with the
same transmission, but with a remote control shift.
Models DJ-5 and DJ-6 are equipped with a similar

transmission,
however, the construction is
some­
what different because it is not designed to receive a transfer case for four-wheel drive.

For
DJ-5 and DJ-6 2WD vehicles, the trans­ mission repair procedures begin with Par. J-12.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING CONTROL
The
shift of the three-speed transmission is smooth

and
positive. The cane control lever shifts the trans­
mission gears direct from the shift control housing
mounted to the top side of the transmission housing.

The
remote control lever shifts the transmission
gears through remote control rods attached to the

adjusting
levers of the shift shafts protruding from the left side of the transmission housing. Poppet
balls and springs retain the transmission gears in mesh and an interlocking mechanism prevents
shifting into two gears at the same time.

Transmission Remote Control Adjustment
•
Early
CJ-5A,
CJ-6A

First
disconnect the transmission shift rods from the remote control levers.
Check
for binding of
the remote control shaft on the steering column

and
make the necessary corrections to eliminate any binding condition.

If
the shift is not smooth and positive, first make

sure
the gears are in neutral position then remove
the shift rods at the transmission by removing
clevis pins, Fig. J-l No. 17, and slip a short piece
of snug fitting 34" [6,35 mm.] aligning rod, through
the gearshift levers and housing as shown in insert
drawing.

This
places the clutch and shift lever assemblies

in
the neutral position. Adjust the shift rod yokes
at the transmission end, so clevis pins can be in­ stalled freely without moving the shift levers on the
transmission after which remove alignment pin.
If
shifting from first to second is difficult or trans­
mission hangs in first gear, shorten the low and
reverse shift rod one
turn
at a time until the con­
dition is corrected. Usually three turns are re­

quired.

Should
the fault continue after completing the above adjustment, check further as outlined below.

First
remove the lubricating fitting. Use a narrow
feeler
gauge
which
will
enter the opening for the
lubricator
and check the clearance
between
the
faces of the shifting clutches.
This
clearance should
be .015" to .031", [W to W]
[0,397-0,794
mm.]. If
this clearance is greater the assembly must be removed for adjustment. The shift dog, which

engages
the clutch slots, should not have more than .009" [0,229 mm.] clearance in the slots. If the clear­
ance
between
the clutch
grooves
and cross pins is
too great,
these
parts must be replaced.
