LEAK TESTING WITH AIR PRESSURE
This test involves closing off the transmission open-
ings and pressurizing the transmission to 8 psi with
Air Pump Tool 7700.
A soapy water solution is applied to suspected leak
points before and during the pressure test. Leaks will
be indicated by the presence of air bubbles coming
through the solution.
Some transmission openings such as the fill tube
and front cooler line fitting can be closed off with a
rubber plug or similar device. Plugs can secured with
wire or duct tape.
The transmission rear output shaft opening is
closed off simply by leaving the transfer case bolted
in place. However, if the transfer case has been re-
moved, a shipping plug can used to close off this
opening.
The torque converter hub opening in the pump and
the pump vent require special tools to close them off.
The converter hub seal cap is made from thin wall
tube anda3mm(1/8 in.) thick disc (Fig. 12). A re-
taining strap is needed to secure the seal cup for
testing. The strap can be made from 32 mm (1-1/4
in.) wide stock (Fig. 13). The strap attaching hole po-
sitions are approximate only. Measure hole position
on the converter housing before drilling.
The pump vent tool is made from 6 mm (1/4 in.)
rod and 5 mm (3/16 in.) plate (Fig. 14). The fabri-
cated tools can all be made from mild steel or alumi-
num stock.
AIR PRESSURE LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Install vent plug, converter hub seal cup and
cup retaining strap (Fig. 15).
(2) Close off remaining transmission openings with
rubber plugs, or stoppers.Do not close off rear
cooler line fitting. Air pump will be attached to
this fitting.(3) Attach Air Pump 7700 to rear cooler line fit-
ting. Connect length of copper tube to fitting. Then
attach air pump hose to tube with hose clamp (Fig.
16).

Governor/Park Gear Cleaning and Inspection
Thoroughly clean all the governor parts in a suit-
able cleaning solution but do not use any type of
caustic cleaning agents.
The governor weight components (Fig. 20) and the
governor valve (Fig. 21), must slide freely in their
bores when clean and dry. Minor surface scratches
and burrs can be smoothed with crocus cloth
The aluminum governor valve and outer weight
have a hard coating on them. Check condition of this
coating carefully. Do not reuse either part if the coat-
ing is damaged.
Inspect the governor weight spring for distortion.
Replace the spring, if distorted, collapsed, or broken.
Clean the filter in solvent and dry it with low pres-
sure compressed air. Replace the filter, if damaged.
Inspect the park gear for chipped or worn gear teeth
or damaged ring grooves. Replace the gear, if dam-
aged.
Check the teeth on the park gear for wear or dam-
age. Replace the gear if necessary. Inspect the metal
seal rings on the park gear hub. Replace the rings
only if severely worn, or broken.
GOVERNOR/PARK GEAR ASSEMBLY AND
INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate governor components with transmis-
sion fluid during assembly.(2) Install new seal rings on park gear hub. Install
ring with interlock ends first and ring with plain
ends last. Slip each ring on hub and seat them in
grooves. Verify that rear ring ends are securely inter-
locked before proceeding.
CAUTION: Exercise care when installing the rings.
They are easily broken if overspread or twisted dur-
ing installation.
(3) Insert filter screen in park gear. Note that gear
has one filter bore that is concentric and one that
has a notch in it. Filter goes in bore that is concen-
tric as shown (Fig. 16).
(4) Position governor body on park gear. Be sure
filter is properly aligned in body recess.
(5) Install governor body bolts. Do not fully tighten
bolts at this time.
(6) Assemble governor weight components (Fig.
20). Then install weight assembly in governor body.
Be sure inner weight snap ring is fully seated
before proceeding.
(7) Install retainer washer and snap ring that se-
cure governor weight assembly in governor body.
(8) Align and install park gear/governor assembly
on output shaft.Be sure hole in output shaft for
governor valve shaft is aligned with governor
valve bore in governor body. Valve shaft will

CONNECTING COOLER LINES AND FITTINGS
(ALL TYPES)
(1) Wipe cooler line and fitting clean with shop
towel.
(2) Insert cooler line into fitting. Then push line
inward until retainer or insert secures line. A snap or
click sound will be heard when the insert tabs or re-
tainer clip seats behind the cooler line flange.
(3)Pull outward on cooler lines/fittings to
verify they are properly secured.
CAUTION: The wire retainer clips or insert release
tabs secure the cooler lines. If the clips or tabs are
deformed, distorted, or not fully seated, normal
fluid pressure could unseat the lines resulting in
fluid loss and transmission damage. Be very sure
the cooler lines are firmly secured as described in
step (3).
CONVERTER DRAINBACK CHECK VALVE SERVICE
The converter drainback check valve is located in
the cooler outlet (pressure) line near the radiator
lower tank. The valve prevents fluid drainback when
the vehicle is parked for lengthy periods. The valve
check ball is spring loaded and has an opening pres-
sure of approximately 2 psi. Refer to the cooler flow
test procedure for valve testing.
The valve is serviced as an assembly; it is not re-
pairable. Do not clean the valve if restricted, or con-
taminated by sludge, or debris. If the valve fails, or if
a transmission malfunction occurs that generates
sludge and/or clutch particles and metal shavings,
the valve must be replaced.
The valve must be removed whenever the cooler
and lines are reverse flushed. The valve can be flow
tested when necessary. The procedure is exactly the
same as for flow testing a cooler.
If the valve is restricted, installed backwards, or in
the wrong line, it will cause an overheat condition
and possible transmission failure.
CAUTION: The drainback valve is a one-way valve.
As such, it must be properly oriented in terms of
flow direction. In addition, the valve must only beinstalled in the pressure line. Otherwise flow will be
blocked causing overheat and eventual transmis-
sion failure.
TRANSMISSION COOLER FLOW TESTING
The transmission main and auxiliary coolers, plus
the drainback valve, should be flow tested whenever
fluid overheating is noted.
Restricted flow caused by contamination, or a
cooler malfunction, reduces lubrication fluid flow
throughout the transmission. This can result in fluid
overheating, fluid breakdown, bushing wear, shift
problems and component failure.
Normal color of transmission fluid varies from
bright red, to light pink. Fluid overheating is indi-
cated when fluid color ranges from orange-brown to
black, and the fluid smells burned, or contains
sludge.
CAUTION: If a transmission malfunction contami-
nates the fluid with clutch disc and metal particles,
the cooler and lines must be reverse flushed thor-
oughly. Flushing will prevent sludge and particles
from flowing back into the transmission and con-
verter after repair.
Cooler flow is tested by measuring the amount of
fluid pumped through the cooler in a specified time
by the transmission oil pump.The same flow test
procedure is used for the drainback valve, main
cooler, and auxiliary cooler.
Cooler And Drainback Valve Flow Test Procedure
(1) Test flow throughdrainback valveas follows:
(a) Add extra quart of ATF Plus to transmission.
(b) Disconnect pressure line at radiator fitting, or
at drainback valve and position hose or valve end
in one quart test container.
(c) Shift transmission into neutral, run engine at
idle speed for 20 seconds, and note flow from valve.
Use stopwatch to check test time.
(d) Replace drainback valve if flow is less than
one quart in 20 seconds, is intermittent, or does
not flow at all.
(e) Connect pressure hose to radiator fitting and
proceed to cooler flow test.
(2) Test flow throughmain cooleras follows:
(a) Disconnect cooler return (rear) line at trans-
mission and place it in one quart test container.
(b) Add extra quart of fluid to transmission.
(c) Shift transmission into neutral, run engine at
idle speed for 20 seconds, and note flow from valve.
Use stopwatch to check test time.
(d) Replace cooler if fluid flow is less than one
quart in 20 seconds, is intermittent, or does not
flow at all.
