(2) Attach dial indicator to converter housing. Po-
sition indicator plunger against input shaft and zero
indicator.
(3) Move input shaft in and out and record read-
ing. End play should be 0.56 - 2.31 mm (0.022 - 0.091
in.).
(4) If end play is incorrect, transmission is incor-
rectly assembled, or output shaft thrust washer
and/or thrust plate are worn and need to be changed.
VALVE BODY INSTALLATION
(1) Install new manual lever shaft seal in case.
Use 15/16 deep well socket to install seal.
(2) Make sure neutral switch hasnotbeen in-
stalled in case. Remove switch if necessary as it will
interfere with valve body installation.
(3) Install new seal rings on accumulator piston
(Fig. 155). Lubricate accumulator piston, seals and
accumulator bore with transmission fluid.(4) Install accumulator piston and spring (Fig. 155)
in case.
(5) Place valve body manual lever in low to move
park lock rod rearward.
(6) Position valve body on case. Work park rod past
sprag and install valve body-to-case bolts finger
tight.
(7) Install park/neutral position switch in case.
Tighten switch to 34 Nzm (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Align valve body on case (Fig. 156).
(9) Install and tighten valve body-to-case bolts al-
ternately and evenly to 12 Nzm (105 in. lbs.) torque.
Start at center and work outward when tightening
bolts.Do not overtighten valve body bolts. This
could result in distortion and cross leakage af-
ter installation..
(10) Connect converter clutch solenoid wire to case
connector (Fig. 156).
(11) Install new filter on valve body (Fig. 157).
Tighten filter screws to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.).
BAND ADJUSTMENT AND OIL PAN
INSTALLATION
(1) Adjustfront bandas follows:
(a) Loosen locknut.
(b) Tighten adjusting screw to 72 in. lbs. torque.

(c) Back off front band adjusting screw as fol-
lows:
²On 30RH (2.5L), back adjusting screw off 2
1/2 turns
²On 32RH (4.0L), back adjusting screw off 2
1/4 turns
(d) Hold adjusting screw in position and tighten
locknut to 34 Nzm (25 ft. lbs.).
(2) Adjustrear bandas follows:
(a) Loosen locknut.
(b) Tighten adjusting screw as follows: On 32RH
transmission, tighten screw to 8 Nzm (72 in. lbs).
torque. On 30RH transmission. Tighten screw to 5
Nzm (41 in. lbs.) torque.
(c) Back off rear band adjusting screw as follows:
²On 30RH (2.5L), back adjusting screw off 7
turns
²On 32RH (4.0L), back adjusting screw off 4
turns
(d) Hold adjusting screw in place and tighten
locknut to 34 Nzm (25 ft. lbs.) torque.(3) Install new pan gasket on transmission and in-
stall oil pan. Tighten pan bolts to 17 Nzm (13 ft. lbs.).
(4) Turn transmission over.
EXTENSION HOUSING, CONTROL LEVER AND
CONVERTER INSTALLATION
(1) Install throttle valve and manual valve levers
on shaft.
(2) Position new extension adapter housing gasket
on transmission case. Use petroleum jelly to hold
gasket in place.
(3) Install new rear seal in extension housing if re-
quired.
(4) Install extension/adapter housing on transmis-
sion case. Tighten housing fasteners to 33 Nzm (24 ft.
lbs.). Be sure park lock rod is properly engaged in
sprag before tightening fasteners.
(5) Lubricate converter hub with transmission
fluid and carefully install converter. Turn converter
back and forth until seated. Be sure converter hub
slots are fully seated in oil pump gear lugs.
(6) Secure converter in oil pump before mounting
transmission on jack and before moving transmission
back under vehicle. Use metal strapping, C-clamp, or
locking pliers to hold converter in place. Attach hold-
ing tool to converter housing.
CAUTION: The transmission cooler and lines must
be reverse flushed if overhaul corrected a malfunc-
tion that generated sludge, metal particles, or
clutch friction material. The torque converter should
also be replaced if contaminated by the same mal-
function. Debris and residue not flushed from the
cooler and lines will flow back into the transmission
and converter. The result could be a repeat failure
and shop comeback.
