per splash shield or the bleeder screw
fitting.
4.
 Front wheel bearing end play is
critical and must be within specifica-
tions.
5.
 Be sure the vehicle is centered on
the hoist before servicing any front
end components, to avoid bending or
damaging the rotor splash shield on
full right or left wheel turns.
6. The proportioning valve should
not be disassembled or adjustments
attempted on it.
7.
 Riding of the brake pedal (com-
mon on left foot applications) should
be avoided during vehicle operation.
8. The wheel and tire must be re-
moved ' separately from the brake
rotor, unlike drum brakes where the 
wheel, tire and drum are removed as a
unit.
9. On floating caliper type disc
brakes whenever the caliper is re-
moved the caliper locating pins should
be inspected for wear or damage.
10.
 On floating caliper type disc
brakes, the caliper assembly must be
removed from the spindle prior to re-
moval of the shoe and lining assem-
blies.
11.
 On floating caliper type disc
brakes the calipers must not be inter-
changed from one side to the other.
When the caliper is installed on its
proper anchor plate and spindle, the
bleeder screw will point to the rear of
the vehicle (Fig. 22). If a caliper is in-
stalled on the wrong side of the vehi-
cle,
 it is not possible to bleed the sys-
tem properly.
12.
 Do not attempt to clean or re-
store oil or grease soaked brake lin-
ings.
 When contaminated linings are
found, brake linings must be replaced
in complete axle sets.
DRUM BRAKES
1.
 Remove the wheel from the
drum, and remove the drum as out-
lined in Part 2-2, Section 2.
2.
 Brush all dust from the backing
plates and interior of the brake
drums.
3.
 Inspect the brake shoes for ex-
cessive lining wear or shoe damage. If
the lining is worn within 1/32 inch of
the rivet heads or if the shoes are
damaged, they must be replaced. Re-
place any lining that had been con-
taminated with oil, grease or brake 
fluid. Replace lining in axle sets. Prior
to replacement of lining, the drum di-
ameter should be checked to deter-
mine if oversize linings must be in-
stalled.
4.
 Check the condition of brake
shoes,
 retracting springs, hold-down
springs, and drum for signs of over-
heating. If the shoes have a slight blue
coloring, indicating overheating, re-
placement of the retracting and hold-.
down springs is strongly recommended.
Overheated springs lose their pull and
could cause the new lining i:o wear
prematurely, if they are not replaced.
5. If the vehicle has 30,000 or more
miles of operation on the brake linings
or signs of overheating are present
when relining brakes, the wheel cylin-
ders should be disassembled and in-
spected for wear and entrance of dirt
into the cylinder. The cylinder cups
should be replaced, thus avoiding fu-
ture problems.
6. Inspect all other brake parts and
replace any that are worn or dam-
aged.
7.
 Inspect the brake drum and, if
necessary, refinish. Refer to Part 2-2,
Section 4 for refinishing.
BRAKE BOOSTER
Check the booster operation as
noted in Part 2-1, Section 1, Power
Brake Functional Test. If the brake
booster is damaged or defective, re-
place it with a new booster. The brake
booster is serviced only as an assem-
bly.procarmanuals.com

FIG. 10—Parking Brake Control Assembly
With Manual Release—Typical
power unit with mounting bracket is
riveted to the control assembly. The
vacuum actuated piston within the
unit is connected by a rod to the
upper end of the release lever (Fig. 9).
The lower end of the release lever ex-
tends out for alternate manual release 
in the event of vacuum power failure
or for optional manual release at any
time.
Hoses connect the power unit and
the engine manifold to a vacuum re-
lease valve in the transmission neutral
safety switch. 
The anti-skid control system con-
sists of three major components (Fig.
39).
 Mechanically driven electromag-
netic sensors at each rear wheel; an
electronic control module mounted
under the glove box; a vacuum pow-
ered actuator attached to a bracket on
the inside of the right front frame rail
under the toe board.
The sensors consist of steel rings
having teeth on their outer diameters,
pressed on each axle shaft just out-
board of the wheel bearing. The teeth
rotate past corresponding teeth on the
inside diameter of stationary steel
rings mounted in the bearing retain-
ers.
 Also mounted in the retainers, are
ring-shaped permanent magnets and
coils of wire. Two wires from each
sensor connect the sensors to the con-
trol module.
The control module consists of solid
state electronic components sealed in
a container. It is connected to the sen-
sors and to a solenoid on the actuator.
The actuator is similar to a vacuum
brake booster and consists of three
parts.
 A chamber divided by a vacuum
suspended diaphragm; a hydraulic cyl-
inder connected to the diaphragm; and
a solenoid connected electrically to the
control module.
IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS
After any brake service work, ob-
tain a firm brake pedal before moving
the vehicle. Riding the brake pedal
(common on left foot application)
should be avoided when driving the
vehicle.
BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENTS—
DRUM BRAKES
The hydraulic drum brakes are
self-adjusting and require a manual
adjustment only after the brake shoes
have been relined, replaced, or when
the length of the adjusting screw has
been changed while performing some
other service operation. The manual
adjustment is performed with the
drums removed, using the tool and the
procedure detailed below.
When adjusting the rear brake
shoes,
 check the parking brake cables
for proper adjustment. Make sure that
the equalizer operates freely. 
To adjust the brake shoes:
1.
 Use Rotunda Tool HRE 8650,
(Fig. 11) to determine the inside diam-
eter of the drum braking surface.
2.
 Reverse the tool as shown in Fig.
11 and adjust the brake shoe diameter
to fit the gauge. Hold the automatic
adjusting lever out of engagement
while rotating the adjusting screw, to
prevent burring the screw slots. Make
sure the adjusting screw rotates freely.
If necessary, lubricate the adjusting
screw threads with a thin, uniform
coating of MIC-100-A.
3.
 Rotate Tool HRE 8650 around
the brake shoes to be sure of the set-
ting.
4.
 Apply a small quantity of high
temperature grease to the points
where the shoes contact the backing
plate, being careful not to get the lu-
bricant on the linings.
5. Install the drums. Install Tinner-
man nuts and tighten securely.
6. Install the wheels on the drums 
and tighten the nuts to specification.
7.
 Complete the adjustment by
applying the brakes several times with
a minimum of 50 lbs pressure on the
pedal while backing the vehicle. After
each stop the vehicle must be moved
forward.
8. After the brake shoes have been
properly adjusted, check the operation
of the brakes by making several stops
while operating in a forward direction.
WHEEL CYLINDER REPAIR-
DRUM BRAKE
Wheel cylinders should not be di-
sassembled unless they are leaking or
unless new cups and boots are to be
installed. It is not necessary to remove
the brake cylinder from the backing
plate to disassemble, inspect, or hone
and overhaul the cylinder. Removal is
necessary only when the cylinder is
damaged or scored beyond repair.procarmanuals.com

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
In most cases, complete disassembly
of the power steering gear will not be
necessary. It is suggested that only
those assemblies that are faulty be dis-
assembled. Disassembly and reassem-
bly of the unit and the subassemblies
must be made on a clean workbench.
As in repairing any hydraulically op-
erated unit, cleanliness is of utmost
importance. Therefore, the bench, 
tools,
 and parts must be kept clean at
all times. Thoroughly clean the exter-
ior of the unit with a suitable solvent
and when necessary, drain as much of
the hydraulic oil as possible. Handle
all parts very carefully to avoid nicks,
burrs,
 scratches and dirt, which could
make the parts unfit for use. Do not
clean, wash or soak seals in cleaning
solvent. 
VALVE CENTERING

The shim location for the removable
carrier type axle is between the pinion
retainer and the carrier (Fig. 13).
When adjusting this type carrier re-

ADJUSTMENTS (ALL AXLES)
On a Light-Duty (WER) Axle, it is
necessary to remove the rear axle
shafts prior to performing the adjust-
ment procedures. Refer to Rear Axle
Shaft Wheel Bearing and Oil Seal Re-
placement—Light-Duty (WER), Axle,
Part 4-4, Section 2.
To secure a more uniform control
of differential side bearing preload in
service repairs, a dial indicator set-up
such as shown in Fig. 12 is used.
In both types of axle (Fig. 11 and
12),
 the ring gear is moved away from
or toward the pinion as described in
the following procedure.
1.
 Remove the adjusting nut locks,
loosen the differential bearing cap
bolts,
 then torque the bolts to 15 ft-lbs
on integral carrier type axle; 20 ft-lbs
on removable carrier type axles before
making adjustments.
2.
 The left adjusting nut is on the
ring gear side of the carrier. The right
nut is on the pinion side. Loosen the
right nut until it is away from the cup.
Tighten the left nut until the ring gear
is just forced into the pinion with
0.000 backlash then rotate the pinion
several revolutions to be sure no bind-
ing is evident. (Recheck the right nutprocarmanuals.com

3.
 Install the bench testing tool on
the transmission.
4.
 Remove the
 1/8-inch
 pipe plug
at the transmission case. Turn the
front pump in a clockwise direction at
75-100 rpm until a regular flow of
transmission fluid leaves the hole in
the transmission case. This operation 
bleeds the air from the pump.
5.
 Install the pressure gauge (77820
or T57L-77820-A) as shown in Fig.
13.
PRESSURE TESTS
Turn the front pump at 75-100 rpm 
and note the gauge readings. The
pressure readings on the bench test
must be within the limits as outlined
in Figure 13, for the engine idle check.
If pressure gauge readings are with-
in limits in all selector lever positions,
install the vacuum diaphragm control
rod unit.
COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS
TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN
AND REFILL
Normal maintenance and lubrica-
tion requirements do not necessitate
periodic automatic transmission fluid
changes.
If a major repair, such as a clutch
band, bearing, etc., is required in the
transmission, it will have to be re-
moved for service. At this time the
converter, transmission cooler and
cooler lines must be thoroughly
flushed to remove any dirt.
When filling a dry transmission and
converter, install five quarts of fluid.
Start the engine, shift the selector
lever as outlined below, and check and
add fluid as necessary.
Following are the procedures for
partial drain and refill due to in-
vehicle repair operation.
C4 TRANSMISSION
1.
 On PEA models, disconnect the
fluid filler tube from the transmission
oil pan to drain the fluid.
On PEB and PEE models, loosen
the pan attaching bolts to drain the
fluid from the transmission.
2.
 When the fluid has stopped
draining from the transmission, re-
move and thoroughly clean the pan
and the screen. Discard the pan gas-
ket.
3.
 Place a new gasket on the pan,
and install the pan on the transmis-
sion.
4.
 On PEA models, connect the
filler tube to the pan and tighten the
fitting securely.
5.
 Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
6. Run the engine at idle speed for
about two minutes, and then run it at
fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm) until
it reaches it's normal operating temp-
erature. Do not race the engine.
7.
 Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be above the ADD mark. If 
necessary, add enough fluid io the
transmission to bring the level be-
tween the ADD and FULL marks on
che dipstick. Do not overfill the trans-
mission.
FMX OK C6
TRANSMISSION
1.
 Raise the vehicle on a hoist or
jack stands.
2.
 Place a drain pan under the
transmission.
3.
 Loosen the pan attaching bolts
to drain the fluid from the transmis-
sion.
4.
 After the fluid has drained to the
level of the pan flange, remove the
rest of the pan bolts working from the
rear and both sides of the pan to
allow it to drop and drain slowly.
5.
 When the fluid has stopped
draining from the transmission, re-
move and thoroughly clean the pan
and the screen. Discard the pan gas-
ket.
6. Place a new gasket on the pan,
and install the pan on the transmis-
sion.
7.
 Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
8. Run the engine at idle speed for
about two minutes, and then run it at
fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm) until
it reaches normal operating tempera-
ture.
 Do not race the engine.
9. Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. The fluid level
should be above the ADD mark. If
necessary, add enough fluid to the
transmission to bring the level be-
tween the ADD and FULL marks on
the dipstick. Do not overfill the trans-
mission.
OIL COOLER TUBE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
When fluid leakage is found at the
oil cooler, the cooler must be re-
placed. Cooler replacement is de-
scribed in the Cooling System Section
of Group 11. 
When one or more of the fluid
cooler steel tubes must be replaced,
each replacement tube must be fabri-
cated from the same size steel tubing
as the original line.
Using the old tube as a guide, bend
the new tube as required. Add the
necessary fittings, and install the tube.
After the fittings have been tight-
ened, add fluid as needed, and check
for fluid leaks.
VACUUM DIAPHRAGM
ADJUSTMENT NON-ALTITUDE
COMPENSATING TYPE
The C4 and C6 transmissions are
equipped with an adjustable vacuum
diaphragm assembly. A similar ad-
justable diaphragm has been released
for service with the FMX transmis-
sion. However, the FMX service dia-
phragm is not interchangeable with
that used on C4 and C6 models.
The vacuum diaphragm assembly
has an adjusting screw in the vacuum

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 shows the location of the
converter, front pump, clutches,
bands,
 gear train and most of the in-
ternal parts used in the FMX Trans-
mission
The identification tag (Fig. 2) on an
FMX transmission is attached under
the oil pan by a pan to case bolt. The
tag includes the model prefix and suf- 
fix, assembly part number and the
build date code.
The service identification number
indicates changes to service details
which affect interchangeability when
the transmission model is not
changed. For interpretation of this
number, see the Master Parts Catal-
og-
The tag must be kept with the indi-
vidual transmission it was originally 
installed on. If the tag was removed
during disassembly, reinstall it on the
same unit.
The FMX transmission is a three
speed unit capable of providing auto-
matic upshifts and downshifts through
the three forward gear ratios, and also
capable of providing manual selection
of first and second gears.
The transmission consists essentially
of a torque converter, planetary gear
train, two multiple disc clutches and a
hydraulic control system (Fig. 3).
