LUBRICATION
Lubricant level should be even with

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
CLEANING
1.
Wash all parts, except the ball
bearings and seals in a suitable clean-
ing solvent. Brush or scrape all foreign
matter from the parts. Be careful not
to damage any parts with the scraper.
Do not clean, wash or soak transmis-
sion seals in cleaning solvents. Dry all
parts with compressed air.
2.
Rotate the ball bearings in a
cleaning solvent until all lubricant is
removed. Hold the bearing assembly
to prevent it from rotating and dry it
with compressed air.
3.
Lubricate the bearings with ap-
proved transmission lubricant and
wrap them in a clean, lint-free cloth
or paper until ready for use.
4.
Clean the magnet welded to the
bottom of the case with kerosene or
mineral spirits.
INSPECTION
1.
Inspect the transmission case for
cracks, worn or damaged bearings
bores,
damaged threads or any other
damage that could affect the opera-
tion of the transmission.
2.
Inspect the front face of the case
for small nicks or burrs that could
cause misalignment of the transmis-
sion with the flywheel housing. Re-
move all small nicks or burrs with a
fine stone.
3.
Replace a cover that is bent or
distorted. Make sure that the vent
hole in the cover is open.
4.
Check the condition of the shift
levers, forks, shift rails and the lever
and shafts.
5.
Examine the ball bearing races
for cracks, wear or roughness. Inspect
the balls for looseness, wear, end play
or other damage. Check the bearings
for looseness in the bores. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the
bearings.
6. Replace roller bearings that are
broken, worn or rough.
7.
Replace the countershaft (clust-
er) gear if the teeth are chipped, brok-
en or worn. Replace the countershaft
if it is bent, scored or worn.
8. Replace the reverse idler gear or
sliding gear if the teeth are chipped,
worn or broken. Replace the idler
gear shaft if bent, worn or scored.
9. Replace the input shaft and gear
if the splines are damaged or if the
teeth are chipped, worn or broken. If
the roller bearing surface in the bore
of the gear is worn or rough, or if the
cone surface is damaged, replace the
gear and the gear rollers.
10.
Replace all other gears that areprocarmanuals.com

chipped, broken or worn.
11.
Check the synchronizer sleeves
for free movement on their hubs.
Make sure that the alignment marks
(etched marks) are properly indexed.
12.
Inspect the synchronizer block-
ing rings for widened index slots,
rounded clutch teeth and smooth in-
ternal surfaces (must have machined
grooves). With the blocker ring on the
cone,
the distance between the face of
the blocker ring and the clutch teeth
on the gear must not be less than
0.010 inches.
13.
Replace the speedometer drive
gear if the teeth are stripped or dam-
aged. Make certain to install the cor-
rect size replacement gear.
14.
Replace the output shaft if
there is any evidence of wear or if any
of the splines are damaged.
15.
Inspect the bushing and the seal
in the extension housing. Replace
them if they are worn or damaged.
The bushing and/or seal should be re-
placed after the extension housing has
been installed on the transmission.
16.
Replace the seal in the input
shaft bearing retainer.
17.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The RAN and RAT Model three-
speed transmission (Fig. 1) are used
on models having 170, 200, 240, 250,
302,
351 and 390 C.I.D. engines. The
specifications of this section, Part 6-4,
lists the transmission model numbers
and vehicles in which they are used.
A transmission service identification
tag is located on the right side of the
case at the front (Fig. 2). The first
line on the tag will show the transmis-
sion model and service identification
code when required. The second line
will show the transmission serial num-
ber. Additionally, a driveline compo-
nent identification tag is attached to
the upper right side of the transmis-
sion case.
This transmission is of the fully
synchronized type, with all gears ex-
cept the reverse gear and sleeve being
in constant mesh. All forward-speed
changes are accomplished with syn-
chronizer sleeves.
The forward-speed gears are
helical-cut and are in constant mesh.
Gears used in the reverse gear train
are spur-cut and are not synchronized.

ment tool can be made from 3/16
inch drill rod bent to an L shape.
The extensions should be 1 inch and 2
inches from the elbow. The short end
of the tool should be inserted into the
alignment holes.

COLUMN-MOUNTED
SHIFT LINKAGE
GROMMET REMOVAL
AND
INSTALLATION
The column-mounted shift lever
as-
sembly incorporates
an oil
impregnat-
ed plastic grommet
in the
end
of
each
lever
arm. A
special tool T67P-
7341-A
is
required
to
install the grom-
met
in the
shift lever,
and to
install
the shift linkage
rod
into
the
grom-
met. Remove
and
install
the
grommet
as follows:
1.
Place
the
lower
jaw of the
tool
between
the
shift lever
and the
shift
rod.
Position
the
stop
pin
against
the
end
of the
shift
rod
(Fig.
4)
and force
the
rod out of the
grommet. Remove
the grommet from
the
shift lever
by
cutting
off the
large shoulder with
a
sharp knife. The groin met must
be re-
moved from
the
shift lever
and a new
one installed each rime
'he rod is
dis-
connected.
2.
Before installing
a
new grommet,
C 2090-A
adjust
the
stop
pin as
necessary
to
properly install
the
grommet and coat
the outside
of
the grommet with lubri-
cant. Then, place
the
grommet
on the
stop
pin and
force
it
into
the
shift
lever hole. Turn
the
grommeit several
times
to be
sure
it is
properly seated.
3.
Readjust
the
stop
pin to a
length
which
is
sufficient
to
install
the
shift
rod into
the
grommet
(Fig.
4).
If
the
pin height
is not
adjusted,
the
shift
rod
may be
pushed
too far
through
the grommet causing damage
to the
grommet retaining
lip.
4.
With
the pin
height properly
ad-
justed, position
the
shift
rod on the
tool
and
force
the rod
into
the
grom-
met until
the
groove
in the rod
seats
on
the
inner retaining
lip of
the grom-
met.
