SHIFT
COVER SERVICE
The only serviceable shift cover components are:
• fifth-reverse shift fork pads
• reverse inhibitor
• vent components • backup light switch
• expansion plugs
• shift lever components The shift cover, shift forks, shift rails and detent
components are not serviced individually. The cover
must be replaced as an assembly if the cover, or any shift components are worn or damaged.

Shift
Cover
Inspection
Inspect the cover and shift components whenever
the cover is removed from the gear case. Or, when­ ever diagnosis indicates inspection is necessary.
Check the forks for wear, distortion, cracks, or be­
ing loose on the shift rails. Also check fit of the shift rails in the cover. Replace the cover assembly if the
rails are loose in the cover bores.
Inspect and replace the pads on the fifth-reverse
shift fork if worn. The reverse inhibitor should also
be replaced if worn, or faulty. The expansion plugs at
the rear of the cover can be replaced if loose or leak­ ing.
A gasket is not used between the shift cover
and gear case. Use Mopar Gasket Maker, or Loc­
tite 518 to seal the cover.
Procedures for the serviceable components in the
shift cover as follows:

Fifth-Reverse
Shift
Fork Pad Replacement The plastic shift fork pads are held in place by a
combination of tension and a small locating tang.
Three pads are used on the fork (Fig. 164).
The pads can be removed either by hand or with a
narrow blade screwdriver. To remove the pads by
hand, grasp each pad and tilt it out and off the fork.
If the pads prove difficult to remove by hand, insert a screwdriver blade between the pad and fork and pry
the pad off.

164 Shift
Fork
Pad
Locations

Reverse
Inhibitor Replacement The reverse inhibitor mechanism should be
checked for wear or damage whenever diagnosis in­
dicates this is necessary.
The inhibitor mechanism is attached to the cover
with two screws (Fig. 165). Attaching screw torque is 8-14 N-m (75-115 in. lbs.).
Vent
Component
Replacement The shift cover vent assembly consists of the vent

tube,
connecting hose, hose clamps, and vent valve (Fig. 166).
If the vent tube is removed for replacement or ser­
vice access, apply Mopar silicone adhesive/sealer to
the tube to help secure it in the cover.

Switch
Replacement
The backup light switch is located at the left (driv­
er) side of the cover (Fig. 167). The switch plunger is
operated by the fifth-reverse shift rail.
The switch can be replaced with the transmission
in, or out of the vehicle. A gasket may, or may not be
used with the switch.
Apply sealer to the switch threads before installa­
tion. Tightening torque for the switch is 22-34 N#m (192-300 in. lbs.).

Replacement
The expansion plugs at the rear of the shift rail
bores (Fig. 168) can be replaced if loose and/or leak­ ing. Replacement procedure is as follows:
(1) Drill 6 mm (1/4 in.) diameter hole in each plug
to be removed.
(2) Pry plug out of cover with tapered punch. (3) Clean all chips from shift cover and plug bores.
Then clean plug bores with solvent and dry with
clean shop towel. (4) Apply small bead of sealer to outer edge of each
new plug. Use Mopar silicone adhesive/sealer, or
equivalent.
(5) Position each new plug in bore and tap into
place with hammer and suitable size punch or socket.

case dowels, or shift forks are not aligned with sleeves and shift lug. (12) Apply Mopar Lock N' Seal or Loctite 242 to
threads of shift cover bolts.

transmission shift cover.
The
shift
le­

ver operates
the
shift rails
and
forks directly.

RECOMMENDED
LUBRICANT
Recommended lubricant
for the
Getrag G360 trans­
mission
is SAE
