LUBRICATION
SERVICE INTERVALS
Transmission
Check fluid level and condition of fluid at each engine oil
change. Under normal, light duty operating conditions, change fluid,
replace filter and adjust bands every 2 yrs. or 25,000 miles. Under
heavy duty service, change fluid, replace filter and adjust bands
every 12 months or 12,500 miles.
Transfer Case
Check transfer case fluid every 12,000 miles and replace
fluid every 30,000 miles.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
Transmission
Park vehicle on a level surface and apply parking brake.
With engine idling at normal operating temperature, move transmission
selector lever through all gears, ending in "N" ("P" for AW-4
transmission). Check fluid level. Fluid level should be between
"FULL" and "ADD ONE PINT" mark on dipstick. Add fluid as needed. DO
NOT overfill.
Transfer Case
Remove fill plug. Check oil level. If level is not up to
fill plug opening, add lubricant until it is.
RECOMMENDED FLUID
Both transmissions and transfer cases use DEXRON-II ATF.
FLUID CAPACITY
NOTE: Transmission and converter capacities are approximate. Fluid
level should always be determined by reading on dipstick,
rather than amount of fluid added.

DRAINING & REFILLING
Transmission
1) Loosen oil pan bolts, tap pan to break it loose and allow
fluid to drain. Remove pan. Install new filter on bottom of valve
body and tighten retaining screws. Install new "O" ring on fluid
pick-up pipe (if needed). Clean oil pan and install with new gasket.
2) Refill transmission with fluid. Start engine and allow to
run at curb idle for a few minutes. With vehicle on level surface,
engine idling and parking brake applied, move shift selector lever
through all gear ranges, ending in "N" ("P" for AW-4 transmission).
Add fluid up to "ADD ONE PINT" mark on dipstick.
3) Recheck fluid level when transmission reaches normal
operating temperature. Fluid should be between "ADD ONE PINT" and
"FULL" marks on dipstick. Transmission must NOT be overfilled.
Transfer Case
Remove drain plug from transfer case. Remove fill plug for
easier draining. With fluid fully drained, reinstall drain plug. Fill
transfer case to fill plug opening with Dexron II.
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Bands on the AW-4 (4-speed overdrive) transmission are not
adjustable. If slippage occurs, bands must be replaced.
KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND
1) Locate kickdown band adjusting screw on left side of case
(near throttle lever shaft). Loosen adjusting screw lock nut and back
off approximately 5 turns. Ensure adjusting screw turns freely in
case.
2) Using Adapter (J-24063) and 5/16" square socket, tighten
screw to 36 INCH lbs. (4 N.m). If adapter is not used, tighten screw
to 72 INCH lbs. (8 N.m). Back off adjusting screw. See KICKDOWN
(FRONT) BAND ADJUSTMENT table. Hold adjusting screw in position and
tighten lock nut to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m).
