OVERHAUL SERVICE
INFORMATION
Inspect all the transmission bushings during over­
haul. Bushing condition is important as worn, scored
bushings contribute to low pressures, clutch slip and accelerated wear of other components. Replace worn,
or scored bushings, or if doubt exists about bushing
condition. Use recommended tools to replace bushings. The
tools are sized and designed to remove, install and seat bushings correctly. The bushing replacement
tools are included in Bushing Tool Set C-3887-B. Pre-sized service bushings are available for re­
placement purposes. Only the sun gear bushings are not serviced. Low cost of the sun gear assembly makes it easier to simply replace the gear and bush­ings as an assembly.

Heli-Coil inserts are recommended for repairing
damaged, stripped or worn threads in aluminum

parts.
These inserts are available from most automo­
tive jobbers. Stainless steel inserts are preferred.
The use of crocus cloth is permissible where neces­
sary, providing it is used carefully. When used on
valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding off sharp
edges.
Sharp edges are vital as they prevent foreign
matter from getting between the valve and valve

bore.

Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or
O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a
matter of course. Also do not reuse snap rings or
E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts as well.
Lubricate transmission parts with Mopar ATF

Plus,
Type 7176 transmission fluid during assembly.
Use Ru-Glyde, petroleum jelly, or Door-Eze to prelu-
bricate seals, O-rings, and thrust washers. Petroleum
jelly can also be used to hold parts in place during reassembly.

TRANSMISSION
CASE
CLEANING
AND
INSPECTION
Clean the case in a solvent tank. Flush the case
bores and fluid passages thoroughly with solvent. Dry the case and all fluid passages with compressed air. Be sure all solvent is removed from the case and
that all fluid passages are clear. Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the case
(or any other transmission component) unless
they are made from lint-free materials. Lint will readily adhere to case surfaces and transmission components and will circulate throughout the

21 - 286
TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL-46RH

• transmission after assembly. A sufficient quan­
tity of lint can block fluid passages and Interfere
with valve body operation.
Inspect the case for cracks, porous spots, worn
servo bores, or damaged threads. Damaged threads
can be repaired with Helicoil thread inserts. How­
ever, the case will have to be replaced if it exhibits
damage or wear.
Lubricate the front band adjusting screw and lock-
nut with petroleum jelly and thread it part way into
the case. Be sure the screw turns freely and does not
bind. Install the locknut on the screw after checking screw thread operation.

OVERDRIVE PISTON AND RETAINER SERVICE
Remove and discard the piston seals.
Clean the piston and retainer in parts cleaning sol­
vent. Do not use any type of caustic materials for
cleaning. Such materials may etch the surfaces caus­
ing damage. Inspect the piston and retainer carefully. Replace
either part if cracked, porous or damaged in any way. Check condition of the locating lugs on the pis­
ton. Be sure the lugs are in good condition and are not worn, chipped or broken. Inspect the check ball in the piston (Fig. 38). Be
sure the ball is secure and is not partially dislodged,
or loose. Replace the piston if doubt exists about pis­
ton or check ball condition. Check the governor feed tube boss in the retainer.
Be sure the boss is in good condition and is not dam­ aged in any way.

OWERRUNNlNG CLUTCH OVERHAUL

Inspect condition of the clutch cam, cage-type re­
tainer, rollers, springs and clutch race. Replace the clutch cam if worn or damaged. Also
check fit of the cam in the transmission case. If the
cam is loose, the case may be worn, or cracked. The clutch race is permanently pressed onto the
low-reverse drum hub. If either the drum or race are
worn or damaged, replace the drum and race as an assembly. Check fit of the race on the low-reverse
drum hub splines. Replace the drum and race as an assembly if the race is loose on the hub splines. Examine the overrunning clutch assembly care­
fully. Replace assembly if the rollers, springs, or cage-type retainer are worn, or damaged. If the clutch cam requires replacement, install a
new cam as described in the following procedure.
OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CAM REPLACEMENT (1) Remove clutch cam setscrew (Fig. 39).

(2)
Tap old cam and spring retainer out of case
with pin punch. Insert punch through bolt holes at rear of case (Fig. 40). Alternate position of punch to avoid cocking cam during removal.
(3) Clean clutch cam bore and case. Be sure to re­
move all chips/shavings generated during cam re­ moval.
(4) Install rear support in case. Align support with
reference marks made at disassembly. (5) Align and start new clutch cam and spring re­
tainer in case. Be sure serrations on cam and in case are aligned (Fig. 41). Then tap cam into case just
enough to hold it in place.
(6) Verify that cam is correctly positioned be­
fore proceeding any further. Narrow ends of
cam ramps should be to left when cam is viewed
from front end of case (Fig. 41).
