(23) Align drive teeth on rear clutch discs with
small screwdriver (Fig. 149). This makes installation
on front planetary easier.
(24) Raise front end of transmission upward as far
as possible and support case with wood blocks. Front/
rear clutch and oil pump assemblies are easier to in­
stall if transmission is as close to upright position as
possible.
(25) Install front and rear clutch units as assembly
(Fig. 150). Align rear clutch with front annulus gear
and install assembly in driving shell. Re sure out­
put shaft thrust washer and thrust plate are not displaced during installation.

work it into front clutch hub and case by hand. Then
install 2 or 3 pump bolts to hold pump in place. (37) Remove pilot stud tools arid install remaining
oil pump bolts. Tighten bolts alternately in diagonal
pattern to 20 N*m (15 ft. lbs.).
(38) Measure input shaft end play (Fig. 156). At­
tach dial indicator to converter housing. Position in­ dicator plunger against input shaft and zero indicator. Move input shaft in and out and record
reading. End play should be 0.56 - 2.31 mm (0.022 - 0.091 in.).
(39) Install new seals on overdrive piston. Then lu­
bricate seals with Ru-Glyde, Door-Eze or petroleum
jelly. (40) Install overdrive piston in retainer. Align lo­
cating lugs on piston in locating bores in re­
tainer (Fig. 157). Use thin plastic strip or feeler gauge to help guide piston outer seal into retainer. (41) Install spacer on intermediate shaft, if not
previously installed.

Use liberal quantity of petroleum jelly to hold thrust
plate in position on piston. (43) Install overdrive piston thrust bearing in di­
rect clutch hub (Fig. 159). Use liberal quantity of pe­
troleum jelly to hold thrust bearing in place. Note
that one side of bearing has dark coated sur­
face. This surface faces overdrive piston. Also
be sure raised shoulder on inside diameter of
bearing faces forward as well.
(44) Apply small amount of petroleum jelly to pilot
hub of intermediate shaft.
(45) Verify alignment of splines in overdrive unit
planetary gear and overrunning clutch. Be sure

surfaces with transmission fluid or petroleum jelly.
(48) Install overdrive unit. Be sure governor tubes
are aligned with feed holes in piston retainer boss. Note that intermediate shaft is snug fit in overdrive
planetary gear and overrunning clutch. If overdrive unit will not seat fully, rotate overdrive output shaft slightly to align splines and try again.
(49) Apply 1-2 drops of Mopar thread adhesive (or
Loctite 242) to overdrive unit attaching bolts. Then install and tighten bolts to 34 N« (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(50) Install accumulator inner spring, piston and
outer spring (Fig. 161).

(51) Verify that park/neutral position switch has
not been installed in case. Valve body can not be in­ stalled if switch is in position.
(52) Install valve body as follows: (a) Start park rod into park pawl. If rod will not
slide past park pawl, pawl is engaged in park gear.
Rotate overdrive output shaft with socket to free
pawl and allow rod to engage.
(b) Align and seat valve body on case. Be sure
manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are
fully seated in case.
(c) Install and start all valve body attaching
bolts by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a di­ agonal pattern to 12 N»m (105 in. lbs.) torque. Do
not overtighten valve body bolts. This could
result in distortion and cross leakage after in­ stallation..
(53) Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter
screws to 4 N*m (35 in. lbs.).
(54) Adjust front and rear bands as follows: (a) Loosen band adjusting screw locknuts.
(b) Tighten each band adjusting screw to 5 Nnn
(72 in. lbs.) with torque wrench.
(c) Back off front band adjusting screw 2-1/2 turns.
(d) Back off rear band screw 4 turns.
(e) Tighten each adjusting screw locknut. Hold
adjusting screws with wrench to prevent turning
when tightening locknut. (55) Install seal on park/neutral position switch
(Fig. 162). Then install and tighten switch to 34 N«m
(25 ft. lbs.).

(56) Install magnet in oil pan. Magnet goes on
small protrusion at corner of pan. (57) Position new oil pan gasket on case and in­
stall oil pan. Tighten pan bolts to 17 N*m (13 ft. lbs.).
(58) Install new valve body manual shaft seal in
case (Fig. 163). Lubricate seal lip and manual shaft
with petroleum jelly. Start seal over shaft and into
case.
Seat seal with 15/16 inch, deep well socket.
(59) Install throttle valve and shift selector levers
on valve body manual lever shaft. (60) Cap or cover transmission openings (cooler line
fittings, filler tube bore, etc.) to prevent dirt entry.
(61) Install torque converter. Use C-clamp or metal
strap to hold converter in place for installation. (62) Mount transmission on jack for installation in
vehicle.
(63) Apply dielectric grease to terminal pins of so­
lenoid case connector and neutral switch.
