Line
Pressure
Adjustment
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 128).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 inch).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting. The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 inch) setting is an approx
imate setting. Because of manufacturing toler
ances,
it may be necessary to vary from this
dimension to obtain desired pressure.
One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes
line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa). Turn
ing the adjusting screw counterclockwise increases
pressure while turning the screw clockwise decreases
pressure.

Maintain pressure against kickdown valve spring.
Turn throttle lever stop screw until the screw head
touches throttle lever tang and the throttle lever cam
touches gauge tool.
The kickdown valve spring must be fully com
pressed and the kickdown valve completely bot

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
Assembly
Tips
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to en
ter the case or transmission components during as sembly. Keep the transmission case and components

Pressure
Adjustment
clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for assembly operations are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off tools and hands
must be made from lint free material. Lint will stick
to transmission parts and could interfere with valve operation, or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with Mopar
transmission fluid during reassembly. Use petroleum
jelly, Door Eze, or Ru-Glyde on seals and O-rings to ease installation.
Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold thrust
washers, thrust plates and gaskets in position during assembly. However, do not use chassis grease, bear
ing grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any
transmission part. These types of lubricants can eventually block or restrict fluid passages and inter
fere with valve operation. Use petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. The transmission
components and sub-assemblies are easily installed
by hand when properly aligned.
If a part seems extremely difficult to install, it is
either misaligned or incorrectly assembled. Also ver
ify that thrust washers, thrust plates and seal rings are correctly positioned before assembly. These parts
can interfere with proper assembly if mispositioned (or "left out" by accident).
The planetary geartrain, front/rear clutch assem
blies and oil pump are all much easier to install
when the transmission case is upright or as close to
this position as possible. Either tilt the case upward
with wood blocks, or cut a hole in the bench large enough for the output shaft. Then lower the shaft
through the hole and support the transmission case
directly on the bench.
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
(1) Install rear servo piston, spring and retainer
(Fig. 130). Install spring on top of servo piston and
install retainer on top of spring.
(2) Install front servo piston assembly, servo
spring and rod guide (Fig. 131).

(b) Guide drum through rear band.
(c) Tilt drum slightly and start race (on drum
hub) into overrunning clutch rollers. (d) Press drum rearward and turn it in clockwise
direction until drum seats in overrunning clutch (Fig. 138). (e) Turn drum back and forth. Drum should ro
tate freely in clockwise direction and lock in
counterclockwise direction (as viewed from

The retainer is a one-way fit in the cam. The
flanged side of the retainer should be facing out ward. The retainer and rollers will slip easily
into the cam when properly positioned.
(4) Install low-reverse drum. Tilt drum slightly
and carefully engage clutch race (on drum hub) in
overrunning clutch rollers. Raise drum to level posi
tion. Then rotate the drum in clockwise direction un
