Transistor
regulator to handle the higher field current and enables it
to absorb the increased inductive voltages of the field
coil with satisfactory contact point life.
The double-contact regulator assembly (fig. 2c) con-
sists of a double contact voltage regulator unit and a field
relay unit. This unit uses two sets of contact points on
the voltage regulator unit to obtain desired field excita-
tion under variable conditions. Internal circuit wiring
diagrams of the double contact regulator are shown in
Figures 3c and 4c.
The transistor regulator (fig. 2c) is an assembly com-
posed principally of transistors, diodes, resistors, a
capacitor, and a thermistor to form a completely static
voltage regulating unit in combination with a conventional
vibrating type field relay.
The transistor is an electrical device which limits the
generator voltage to a preset value by controlling the
generator field current. The diodes, capacitor and re-
sistors act together to aid the transistors in controlling
the generator voltage. This is the only function that the
regulator performs in the charging circuit. The
thermistor provides a temperature-compensated voltage
setting. Wiring diagrams of the transistor regulator are
shown in Figures 3c and 4c.
The voltage at which the generator operates is deter-
mined by the regulator adjustment. The regulator voltage
setting can be adjusted externally by removing a pipe plug
in the cover (fig. 2c) and turning the adjusting arm inside
the regulator. This procedure is explained in the followr
ing section, and permits regulator adjustments without
removing the cover.

Engine compartment wiring harness incorporates sev-
eral fusible links. Each link is identified with its gage
size. A fusible link is a length of special wire (normally
four wire gages smaller than the circuit it is protecting)
used in wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such
as the ignition circuit. The same size wire with a hypalon
insulation must be used when replacing a fusible link.
The links are:
1.
The pigtail lead at the battery positive cable (except
Corvette) is a 14 gage, brown fusible link protecting
the 10 gage battery charging circuit. This wire is an
integral part of the battery cable assembly and serv-
icing requires replacing the complete battery cable
assembly. On Corvette models this link is installed
as a molded splice at the solenoid "Bat" terminal
and servicing requires splicing in a new link.
2.
A 16 gage black fusible link is located at the horn
4.
relay to protect all unfused wiring of 12 gage or
larger. It is installed as a molded splice and serv-
icing requires splicing in a new link.
The generator warning light and field circuitry (16
gage wire) is protected by a fusible link (20 gage
orange wire) used in the "battery feed to voltage
regulator #3 terminal" wire. The link is installed as
a molded splice in the generator and forward lamp
harness and is serviced by splicing in a new 20 gage
wire as required.
The ammeter circuit on all models is protected by
two orange, 20 gage wire fusible links installed as
molded splices in the circuit at the junction block or
the solenoid "Bat" terminal (Corvette only) and at
the horn relay. Each link is serviced by splicing in a
new 20 gage wire as required.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
At regular intervals, inspect the terminals for cor-
rosion an4 loose connections, and the wiring for frayed
insulation. Check mounting bolts for tightness. Check the
drive belt for alignment, proper tension and wear. Be-
cause of the higher inertia and load capacity of the rotor
used in A.C. generators, PROPER BELT TENSION is
more critical than on D.C. generators.
Since the Delcotron and its companion regulator are
designed for use on negative polarity systems only, the
following precautions must be observed. Failure to ob-
serve these precautions may result in serious damage to
the charging system.
1.
When installing a battery, always make absolutely
sure the ground polarity of the battery, generator and
regulator is the same.
2.
When connecting a booster battery, make certain to
connect the correct battery terminals together.
3.
When connecting a charger to the battery, connect the
correct charger leads to the battery
%
terminals.
4.
Never operate the generator on an uncontrolled open

to
cool before checking.
If
the
voltage
is
less than 7.7 volts, check for ex-
cessive resistance
in the
solenoid control circuit.
If
the

Overdrive Electrical Circuit Wiring Diagram
ELECTRICAL
Any one of the following general complaints may be due
to electrical trouble in the overdrive circuit.
1.
Does not engage.
2.
Does not release.
3.
Does not kickdown from overdrive.
These troubles may be traced and remedied as de-
scribed in the following paragraphs.
1.
Does not engage
a. With the ignition switch on, ground the "KD" ter-
minal of the solenoid relay with a jumper lead.
If the solenoid clicks, the relay and solenoid cir-
cuits are in operating condition. If no click is
heard in the relay, check the fuse and replace if
defective.
b.
If the fuse is good, use a second jumper lead to
connect the "SOL" and "BAT" terminals of the
relay. If a click is now heard in the solenoid, the
relay is probably at fault and should be repaired
or replaced.
c. If the solenoid does not click in Step b, check the
wiring to the No. 4 terminal of the solenoid and
replace if necessary. If the wiring is not defec-
tive,
the trouble is probably in the solenoid. Re-
move the solenoid cover, examine the solenoid
contacts in series with the pull-in winding and
clean if necessary. Test again for clicks, as in
Step b, after replacing solenoid cover and lead
wires.
Replace the solenoid if trouble has not
been corrected.
d. If the relay and solenoid circuits are in good con-
dition as determined in Step a, leave the ignition
switch on and make sure the manual control knob
is in the overdrive position. Ground one and then
the other of the two terminals next to the stem of
the kickdown switch (identified as "SW" and
?fREL"). K the solenoid clicks when one terminal
is grounded but not the other, replace the switch.
If the solenoid does not click when either of the
terminals is grounded, check the wiring between
the relay and the kickdown switch and replace if
defective.
e. If the solenoid clicks as each terminal is grounded
in Step d, ground the governor switch terminal.
If the solenoid clicks, the governor switch may be
defective. If the solenoid does not click, check
the wiring between the kickdown and governor
switches and replace if necessary.
2.
Does not release
a. Remove the connection to the "KD" terminal of
the relay. If this release overdrive, look for a
grounded control circuit between the relay and
governor switch.
b.
If the overdrive is not released in Step a, dis-
connect the lead to the "SOL" terminal of relay.
If this releases the overdrive, replace the relay.
3.
Does not kickdown from overdrive
a. With the engine running, connect a jumper lead
between the No. 6 terminal of the solenoid and
ground. Operate the kickdown switch by hand.
This should stop the engine. If it does, the sole-
noid is probably defective and it should be checked
for dirty ground-out contacts or other defects
within the ground-out circuit of the solenoid (fig.
4B).
Clean the contacts or replace the contact
plate as required.
b.
If the engine does not stop in Step a, ground one
and then the other of the two terminals (Identified
as "IGN" and "SOL") farthest from the sfem of
the kickdown switch. The engine should stop when
one of the two terminals (IGN) is grounded. If
the engine does not stop when the terminal is
grounded, the wiring or connections to the switch
between the switch and coil are defective. When
the btlier terminal (SOL) is grounded, the engine
should stop when the kickdown switch is operated.
If the engine does not stop when the kickdown
switch is operated with the second terminal
grounded, the kickdown switch is defective. If
the trouble is in the kickdown switch, adjust the
linkage to give more travel of the switch rod.
If this does not correct the trouble, replace the
kickdown switch.
If the kickdown switch operates as it should,
check for an open circuit in the wiring between
the kickdown switch and the No. 6 terminal of the
solenoid.
c. If the trouble is not located by the above checks,
the upper contacts of the kickdown switch may not
be opening. To check for this condition, ground
the overdrive control circuit at the governor
switch. This should cause the solenoid to click.
Operate the kickdown switch by hand. This should
cause a second click as the solenoid releases.
If there is no second click, adjust the linkage to
give more travel of the switch rod. If this does
not correct the trouble, replace the kickdown
switch.

CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSIONS 7-37
LI.
- LI Range can be selected at any vehicle speed,
and the transmission will shift to second gear
and remain in second until vehicle speed is re-
duced to approximately 40 MPH, .depending on
axle ratio. LI Range position prevents the trans-
mission from shifting out of first gear.
It is very important that any communication concerning
the Turbo Hydra-Matic always contain the transmission
serial number and that all transmission parts returned
to Chevrolet Motor Division always be tagged with the
transmission serial number.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Transmission fluid level should be checked with trans-
mission warm and selector lever in "P" Park position,
every time engine oil level is checked or as specified in
Section 0 when engine oil is changed.
CAUTION: Since the Turbo Hydra-Matic trans-
mission is very sensitive to oil level, special
precautions should be taken when checking the
oil level, to insure against an overfifE
Transmission fluid should be changed as specified in
Section 0.
FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR
The fluid level indicator is located in the filler pipe at
the right rear corner of the engine. To bring the fluid
level from the add mark to the full mark add 1 pint.
Fluid level should be to the full mark with transmission
at normal operating temperature. With cold fluid the
level should be at the add mark or slightly below.
SHIFT CONTROL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
Adjust linkage as shown below and in Figure 2.
1.
The shift tube and lever assembly must be free in the
mast jacket See Section 9 for alignment of steering
column assembly if necessary.
2.
To check for proper shift linkage adjustment, lift the
transmission selector lever towards the steering
wheel. Allow the selector lever to be positioned in
drive (D) by the transmission detent.
NOTE: Do not use the indicator pointer as a
reference to position the selector lever. When
performing linkage adjustment, pointer is ad-
justed last.
3.
Release the selector lever. The lever should be in-
hibited from engaging low range unless the lever is
lifted.
4.
Lift the selector lever towards the steering wheel,
and allow the lever to be positioned in neutral (N) by
the transmission detent.
5.
Release the selector lever. The lever should now be
inhibited from engaging reverse range unless the
lever is lifted.
6. A properly adjusted linkage will prevent the selector
lever from moving beyond both the neutral detent,
and the drive detent unless the lever is lifted to pass
over the mechanical stop in the steering column.
See schematic diagram.
7.
In the event that an adjustment is required, place the
selector lever in drive (D) position as determined by
the transmission detent. See Steps 2 and 3.
8. Loosen the adjustment swivel at the cross-shaft, and
rotate the transmission lever so that it contacts the
drive stop in the steering column.
9. Tighten the swivel and recheck the adjustment. See
Steps 2 and 6. -
l(h Readjust indicator needle if necessary to agree with
the transmission detent" positions. See Section 9.
11.
Readjust neutral safety switch if necessary to pro-
vide the correct relationship to the transmission de-
tent positions. See Section 12.
12.
When properly adjusted the following conditions must
be met by manual operation of the steering column
shift lever:
a. From reverse to drive position travel, the trans-
mission detent feel must be noted and related to
indicated position on dial.
b.
When in drive and reverse positions, pull lever
rearward (towards steering wheel) and then re-
lease. It must drop back into position with no
restrictions.
NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
The neutral safety switch must be adjusted so that the
car will start in the park or neutral position, but will not
start in the other positions. For replacement refer to
Section 12 of this Manual.
DRAINING AND REFILLING TRANSMISSION
Drain oil immediately after operation before it has had
an opportunity to cool.
To drain oil proceed as follows:
1.
Remove bottom pan attaching screws, pan, and gas-
ket.
2.
Remove oil strainer. Remove "O" ring seal from
pick-up pipe and discard.
3.
Discard strainer if dirty.
4.
Install new "O" ring seal on pick-up pipe and install
strainer and pipe assembly.
5.
Thoroughly clean bottom pan.
6.. Affix new gasket to bottom pan with petroleum jelly.
7.
Install bottom pan with attaching screws and torque
to specifications;
8. If only the pan has been removed, pour approximately
7-1/2 pints of fluid into the transmission. If the
valve body has also been removed use 9-1/2 pints.
After a complete overhaul approximately 19 pints
are required. Be sure container, spout, or funnel is
clean.
9. Start engine and let idle (carburetor off fast idle
step).
Place selector lever in P position and apply
hand brake.
10.
With transmission warm (approximately 150°F), add
fluid to bring level to full mark on indicator.
CAUTION: Do not overfill. Foaming will re-
sult.
