(10) If the engine is hot, remove the cylinder head 
bolts in the sequence shown in Fig. 7..The removal  sequence is not important if the engine is cold. There 
are 3 sizes of head bolts. Note the position of each 
bolt for future installation. 
(11) Remove the cylinder head and gasket from the

INSPECTION 
 Remove the cup plugs and inspect the coolant pas
sages.
 A large build up of rust and lime will require 
removal of the cylinder block for cleaning in a hot 
tank. 
Inspect the cylinder bores for damage or excessive 
wear. Rotate the crankshaft so the piston is at Bot
tom Dead Center (BDC) to inspect the bores.  Measure the cylinder bores (Fig. 8). DO NOT pro
ceed with in-chassis repair if the bores are damaged 
or worn beyond the limits (refer to Cylinder Bore Re
pair - Cylinder Block). 
Check the top surface for damage caused by the 
cylinder head gasket leaking between cylinders. 
Inspect the block and head surface for nicks, ero
sion, etc.  Check the head distortion (Fig. 9). The distortion of 
the combustion deck face is not to exceed 0.010 mm  (0.0004 inch) in any 50.8 mm (2.00 inch) diameter. 
Overall variation end to end or side to side 0.30 mm  (0.012 inch). 
(3) Disconnect the radiator and heater hoses (refer 
to Group 7, Cooling System).  (4) Remove the turbocharger. 
(5) Remove the exhaust manifold (Fig. 4).

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. Do not replace 
bushings as a matter of course. Replace bushings 
only when actually worn or scored.  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. The 
tool set is manufactured by the Miller Tool Co. and is  available through the dealer tool program.  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 bush
ings 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, or Dexron II™ transmission fluid  during overhaul and assembly. 
Use Ru-Glyde or Door Eze to lubricate clutch pis
ton seals. Use petroleum jelly to lubricate O-rings  and thrust washers. Petroleum jelly can also be used 
to hold parts in place during reassembly.

 CASE
 CLEAN1N8
 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 
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 
bores,
 or damaged threads. Damaged threads can be  repaired with Helicoil thread inserts. However, the 
case will have to be replaced if it exhibits any type of 
damage or wear. 
Lubricate the front band adjusting screw threads 
with petroleum jelly and thread the screw part-way  into the case. Be sure the screw turns freely. 
Remount the case in Repair Stand C-3750-B after 
cleaning and inspection.

DISASSEMBLING OVERRUNNING CLUTCH/  LOW-REVERSE DRUM 
If the clutch assembly came out with the low-re
verse drum, thread two clutch cam bolts into the  cam. Then lift the cam out of the drum with the bolts (Fig. 29). Rotate the cam back and forth to ease re
moval if necessary. Remove the clutch roller and  spring assembly from the race afterward. 
Fig, 29 Removing Overrunning Clutch From Low- Reverse Drum—32RH 
CLEANING AND INSPECTION  Clean the overrunning clutch assembly, clutch 
cam, low-reverse drum and rear support in solvent. 
Dry them with compressed air after cleaning.  Inspect condition of each clutch part after cleaning. 
Replace the overrunning clutch roller and spring as sembly if any rollers or springs are worn or dam
aged, or if the roller cage is distorted, or damaged. 
Replace the cam if worn, cracked or damaged. 
Replace the low-reverse drum if the clutch race, 
roller surface or inside diameter is scored, worn or  damaged. Do not remove the clutch race from the 
low-reverse drum under any circumstances. Re place the drum and race as an assembly if either component is damaged. 
Examine the rear support carefully for wear, 
cracks, scoring or other damage. Be sure the support 
hub is a snug fit in the case and drum. Replace the  support if worn or damaged.
