FRONT CLUTCH INSPECTION
Clean and inspect the front clutch components. Re
place the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored, burned or charred, the lugs are damaged, or if the facing is
flaking off. Replace the steel plates and reaction
plate if heavily scored, warped, or broken. Be sure
the driving lugs on the discs and plate are also in
good condition. The lugs must not be bent, cracked or
damaged in any way.
Replace the piston springs and spring retainer if ei
ther are distorted, warped or broken.
Check the lug grooves in the clutch piston retainer.
The steel plates should slide freely in the slots. Re
place the piston retainer if the grooves are worn or damaged. Also check action of the check ball in the
piston retainer. The ball must move freely and not stick.
Replace the retainer bushing if worn, scored, or
there is any doubt about bushing condition. Inspect the piston and retainer seal surfaces for
nicks or scratches. Minor scratches can be removed
with crocus cloth. However, replace the piston and/or
retainer if the seal surfaces are seriously scored. Check the clutch piston check ball. The ball should
be securely in place. Replace the piston if the ball is missing, or seized in place.

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
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
clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for reassembly operations are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off tools and your
hands must be made from lint free materials. Lint
will stick to transmission parts and could interfere
with valve operation or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate transmission clutch and gear components
with Mopar ATF Plus or Dexron II™ during reassem
bly. Soak clutch discs in transmission fluid before in stallation.
Use Ru-Glyde, Door-Eze, or petroleum jelly on
seals and O-rings to ease installation. Petroleum
jelly can also be used to hold thrust washers and plates in position during assembly operations. However, do not use chassis grease, bearing grease,
white grease, or similar lubricants on any part.
These types of lubricants can eventually block or re strict fluid passages and valve operation. Use petro
leum 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 diffi cult to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly
assembled. Verify that thrust washers, thrust plates
and seal rings are correctly positioned. These parts
will prevent proper assembly is 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 and rear support. Then
lower the shaft and support into the hole and support
the rear of the case directly on the bench.
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
(1) Lubricate rear servo piston seal with petroleum
jelly, or Door Eze. Lubricate servo bore in case with transmission fluid.
(2) Install rear servo piston in case. Position piston
at slight angle to bore and insert piston with twist
