39). Discard any snap rings or E-clips if distorted, or
worn. Be sure the governor weights operate freely in
the bores and do not bind. Also verify that the gov-
ernor valve slides freely on the shaft and in the bore.
Minor scratches, or burrs on governor components
can be cleaned up with oil-soaked crocus cloth. How-
ever, do not attempt to salvage components that are
severely worn or scored.
The governor valve used in 30RH/32RH trans-
missions built starting with the 1992 model year,
is now made of aluminum. In addition, the out-
put shaft has been spotfaced to accept the newaluminum valve (Fig. 39). The aluminum valve
must not be used in prior transmissions. The
valve can only be used with an output shaft that
has been spotfaced for valve end clearance. In
addition, the governor body and output shaft
must be properly indexed during reassembly. Be
sure to index these components as described in
the Transmission Assembly and Adjustment pro-
cedures.
Check condition of the park gear seal rings, ring
grooves and gear teeth (Fig. 40). Replace the gear as
an assembly if the teeth or ring grooves are worn, or
damaged.
Replace the park gear front and rear seal rings if
cracked, or worn. The production style front ring is a
plain type and the rear ring is a hook style. If re-
placement rings are both hook-style, be sure the ring
ends are properly hooked together.ASSEMBLING GOVERNOR AND PARK GEAR
(1) Coat governor body bores and valves with
transmission fluid.
(2) Assemble governor weights and springs. Then
install weight assembly in governor body but do not
install valve and shaft at this time. These parts are
not installed until after governor and park gear are
in place on output shaft.
(3) Install new seal rings on park gear if neces-
sary.
(4) Insert filter screen in park gear and position
governor body on park gear.

WHEELS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Original equipment wheels are designed for the
specified Maximum Vehicle Capacity.
All models use steel or cast aluminum drop center
wheels. The safety rim wheel (Fig. 1) has raised sec-
tions between the rim flanges and the rim well.
Initial inflation of the tire forces the bead over
these raised sections. In case of tire failure, the
raised sections hold the tire in position on the wheel
until the vehicle can be brought to a safe stop.
Cast aluminum wheels require special balance
weights and alignment equipment.
WHEEL INSTALLATION
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific
applications. They must be replaced with equivalent
parts. Do not use replacement parts of lesser quality
or a substitute design. All aluminum and some steel
wheels have wheel stud nuts which feature an en-
larged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to en-
sure proper retention of the aluminum wheels.
Before installing the wheel, be sure to remove any
build up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surfaces.
Ensure wheels are installed with good metal-to-metal
contact. Improper installation could cause loosening
of wheel nuts. This could affect the safety and han-
dling of your vehicle.
To install the wheel, first position it properly on
the mounting surface. All wheel nuts should then be
tightened just snug. Gradually tighten them in se-
quence to 129 Nzm (95 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 2).Never
use oil or grease on studs or nuts.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
Wheels must be replaced if they have:
²Excessive runout²Bent or dented
²Leak air through welds
²Have damaged bolt holes
Wheel repairs employing hammering, heating, or
welding are not allowed.
Original equipment wheels are available through
your dealer. Replacement wheels from any other
source should be equivalent in:
²Load carrying capacity
²Diameter
²Width
²Offset
²Mounting configuration
Failure to use equivalent replacement wheels may
affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. Re-
placement withusedwheels is not recommended.
Their service history may have included severe treat-
ment.
Refer to the Specifications Chart for informa-
tion regarding above requirements.
WHEEL ORNAMENTATION
WARNING: HANDLE ALL WHEEL ORNAMENTATION
WITH EXTREME CARE DURING REMOVAL AND IN-
STALLATION. SHARP EDGES ON THE COVERS OR
CAPS CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCE
It is recommended that a two plane dynamic bal-
ancer be used when a wheel and tire assembly re-
quire balancing. Static should be used only when a
two plane balancer is not available.
For static imbalance, find location of heavy spot
causing imbalance. Counter balance wheel directly
opposite the heavy spot. Determine weight required
to counterbalance the area of imbalance. Place half
of this weight on theinnerrim flange and the other
