TRANSMISSION CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean the transmission components in solvent. Dry
the cases, gears, shift mechanism and shafts with com-
pressed air.Dry the bearings with clean, dry shop
towels only. Never use compressed air on the bear-
ings. This could damage the bearing rollers.
Replace components that are obviously worn,
cracked, chipped or damaged in any way.
Inspect the transmission case. Replace the case if
cracked or porous or if any of the bearing and gear
bores are damaged.
Output Shaft Inspection
Measure thickness of the output shaft flange with
a micrometer (Fig. 64). Minimum allowable flange
thickness is 4.70 mm (0.185 in).
If shaft flange thickness is OK but previously
measured second/third gear thrust clearance
was incorrect (Fig. 62), replace the necessary
gear and needle bearing as an assembly.
Check diameter of the first, second and third gear
bearing surfaces of the output shaft (Fig. 64). Mini-
mum allowable diameters are:
²38.86 mm (1.529 in.) for first gear surface
²46.86 mm (1.844 in.) for second gear surface
²37.86 mm (1.490 in.) for third gear surface
Check output shaft runout with V-blocks and a dial
indicator (Fig. 64). Maximum allowable runout is
0.06 mm (0.0024 in.).
Replace the output shaft if any surface measured
fails to meet stated tolerance.
Cluster Gear Inspection
Inspect the cluster gear teeth. Replace the gear if
any teeth are worn or damaged or if the bearing sur-
faces are damaged.
Check diameter of the cluster gear journal with a
micrometer (Fig. 65). Minimum allowable diameter
is 27.860 mm (1.096 in.).
Check condition of the cluster gear front bearing.
Replace the bearing if worn, noisy, or damaged.
GEAR AND SYNCHRO INSPECTION
Install the synchro rings on their respective gears.
Rotate each ring on the gear and note synchro ac-
tion. Replace any synchro ring that exhibits a lack of
braking action or binds on the gear. Also replace any
ring that is worn or has chipped or broken teeth.
Measure end clearance between the synchro ring
and the gear with a feeler gauge (Fig. 66). Clearance
should be 0.06 mm - 1.6 mm (0.024 - 0.063 in.).Install the needle bearings in the first, second and
third gears. Then install the gears on the output
shaft and check shaft-to-gear clearance with a dial
indicator (Fig. 67).

GOVERNOR ASSEMBLY
The governor valve used in 30RH/31RH/32RH
transmissions built since the 1992 model year, is
made of aluminum. In addition, the output shaft
has been spotfaced to accept the new aluminum
valve. The aluminum valve must not be used in
previous transmissions. The valve can only be
used with an output shaft that has been spot-
faced for valve end clearance. In addition, thegovernor body and output shaft must be prop-
erly indexed during reassembly. Be sure to in-
dex these components as described in the
Transmission Assembly and Adjustment proce-
dures.

OVERHAUL SERVICE INFORMATION
Inspect the transmission bushings during overhaul.
Bushing condition is important as severely worn, or
scored bushings contribute to low pressures, clutch
slip and accelerated wear of other components.How-
ever, do not replace bushings as a matter of
course. Replace bushings only when they are
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 Miller Tool Co. and is
available through the dealer tool program.
Pre-sized service bushings are available for replace-
ment 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. When used on valves, use care to avoid round-
ing 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 mat-
ter 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 overhaul
and assembly.Use petroleum jelly to hold parts like thrust wash-
ers in place during assembly. Use Ru-Glyde, Door
Eze, or similar products to lubricate piston seals and
O-rings to ease installation. Petroleum jelly can also
be used to prelubricate parts during reassembly if de-
sired.
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
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 a repair stand 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. 30). Rotate the cam back and forth to ease re-
moval if necessary. Remove the clutch roller and
spring assembly from the race afterward.
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

(3) Remove retainer snap ring and remove com-
pressor tool.
(4) Remove spring retainer and clutch spring. Note
position of retainer on spring for assembly reference.
(5) Remove clutch piston from clutch retainer. Re-
move piston by rotating it up and out of retainer.
(6) Remove seals from clutch piston and clutch re-
tainer hub. Discard both seals as they are not reusable.
FRONT CLUTCH INSPECTION
Clean the front clutch components in solvent and dry
them with compressed air only. Do not use rags or shop
towels to dry any of the clutch parts. Lint from such
materials will adhere to the component surfaces and
could restrict or block fluid passages after assembly.
Replace the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored,
burned or charred, or if the facing is flaking off. Re-
place the steel plates if heavily scored, warped, orbroken. Be sure the driving lugs on the plates are in
good condition. The lugs must not be bent, cracked or
damaged in any way.
Replace the clutch spring and spring retainer if ei-
ther is distorted, warped or broken.
Check the lug grooves in the clutch retainer. The
steel plates should slide freely in the slots. Replace
the retainer if the grooves are worn or damaged.
Check action of the check ball in the retainer (Fig.
59). The ball must move freely and not stick.
Inspect the clutch retainer bushings carefully
(Fig. 60). The retainer bushings are not service-
