install converter. Be sure converter is fully seated in
oil pump gears before proceeding. Hold converter in
place with C-clamp or strap attached to converter
housing.
(3) Align and position transmission and converter
on engine.
(4) Remove clamp or strap used to hold torque con-
verter in place.
(5) Move transmission forward seat and it on en-
gine. Be sure torque converter hub is fully seated.
(6)
Install converter housing-to-engine bolts (Fig.
53).
(7) Install converter-to-drive plate bolts.
(8) Install and connect starter motor.
(9) Install and connect crankshaft position sensor.
(10) Install transfer case on transmission. Tighten
transfer case attaching nuts to 41 Nzm (30 ft. lbs.)
torque
(11) Connect transfer case shift linkage and vac-
uum hoses.
(12) Connect exhaust components.
(13) Install rear crossmember and remove jack
used to support transmission assembly.
(14) Connect speed sensor wire harness to sensor.
(15) Connect wire harness to park/neutral position
switch.
(16) Align and connect front and rear propeller
shafts.

(17) Connect transmission wire harnesses and
transfer case vacuum and wire harnesses.
(18) Connect transmission cooler lines.
(19) Connect transmission throttle cable at engine.(20) Install new O-ring seal on upper half of trans-
mission fill tube. Then connect upper and lower tube
halves.
(21) Lower vehicle.
(22) Fill transmission with Mopar Mercon auto-
matic transmission fluid. Mopar Dexron II can be
used if Mercon is not readily available.

OVERHAUL SERVICE TOOLS
The special tools needed to overhaul the AW-4
transmission are provided in Tool Kit 6294. However,
Pressure Test Port Adapter 7554 is not included in
this kit and must be ordered separately. The over-
haul tool kit and test port adapter are available
through the parts division and dealer special tool
program.
TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove torque converter.
(2) Remove lower half of filler tube if not previ-
ously removed.
(3) Remove clamps attaching wire harness and
throttle cable (Fig. 1) to transmission.(4) Remove shift lever from manual valve shaft at
left side of transmission.
(5) Remove park/neutral position switch.
(6) Remove speed sensor (Fig. 2).

(7) Remove converter housing bolts and remove
housing (Fig. 3) from case.
(8) Remove adapter housing.
(9) Remove speedometer drive gear snap ring and
remove gear and gear spacer if equipped (Fig. 4).(10) Remove speed sensor rotor and key. Use wood
dowel or hammer handle to loosen and remove rotor
(Fig. 5).
(11) Remove transmission oil pan, oil screen and
screen gaskets (Fig. 6). Then mount transmission in
holding fixture.
