VALVE BODY CONTROL
PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENTS

There
are two
control pressure adjustments
on the

valve body which
are:
Line pressure
and
throttle pres­
sure.
The valve body must
be
removed from
the

transmission
in
order
to
perform
the
adjust­
ments. Refer
to the
valve body removal/installa­
tion procedures
in
this section. Because line
and
throttle pressures
are
interdepen­
dent (each affects shift quality
and
timing), both
ad­

justments must
be
performed properly
and in the
correct sequence. Adjust line pressure first
and
throt­
tle pressure last.

LINE
PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENT
Measure distance from
the
valve body
to the
inner
edge
of the
adjusting screw with
an
accurate steel scale
(Fig. 27).

Distance should
be 1-5/16 in. (33.4 mm).

If adjustment
is
required, turn
the
adjusting screw
in,
or out, to
obtain required distance setting.
The
1-5/16 in. (33.4 mm)
setting
is an
approximate
setting only. Because
of
manufacturing tolerances,
it

may
be
necessary
to
vary from this dimension
to ob­

tain desired pressure.
One complete turn
of the
adjusting screw changes line
pressure approximately
1-2/3 psi (9 kPa).
Turning
the
adjusting screw counterclockwise increases pressure
while turning
the
screw clockwise decreases pressure.

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
clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for assembly are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off your hands and ser­
vice tools must be made of lint free materials. Lint
will adhere to tranmission parts and could interfere with valve operation, or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with ATF

Plus,
or Dexron II™ during reassembly. Use petro­ leum jelly, Door Eze, or Ru-Glyde on seals and O-rings to ease installation.
Petroleum jejly can also be used to hold thrust
washers and plates in position during assembly oper­ ations. However, do not use chassis grease, bearing
grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any
transmission part. These types of lubricants can eventually block or restrict fluid passages and valve
operation. Use petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. Most of the transmis­
sion components are easily installed by hand when
properly aligned. If a part seems extremely difficult
to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly as­ sembled. Also verify that thrust washers, thrust
plates and seal rings are correctly positioned before assembly. These parts can interfere with proper as­
sembly if mispositioned or "left out" by accident.

TRANSMISSION
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE (1) Install rear servo piston, spring and spring re­
tainer. Compress rear servo spring and retainer with Compressor Tool C-3422-A or a large C-clamp.
(2) Install front servo piston, spring and rod guide.
Compress front servo rod guide with Valve Spring
Compressor C-3422-B and install servo snap ring.
The two pressures are interdependent because each
affects shift quality and timing. Each pressure ad­
justment must be performed properly and in the cor­ rect sequence. The correct sequence is line pressure adjustment first and throttle pressure adjustment
last.

Line

Adjustment
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 110).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in,) setting Is an approxi­
mate 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.

(31) If line pressure and/or throttle pressure ad­
justment screw settings were not disturbed, continue with overhaul or reassembly. However, if adjustment screw settings were moved or changed, readjust as
described in Valve Body Control Pressure Adjust­
ment procedure.

Shop towels used for wiping off tools and hands

Lubricate the transmission components with Mopar
transmission fluid during reassembly. Use petroleum

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).
