REAR CLUTCH INSPECTION
Clean the clutch components with solvent and dry
them with compressed air. Do not use rags or shop
towels to dry any of the clutch parts. Lint from such
materials will adhere to component surfaces and
could restrict or block fluid passages after assembly.
Replace the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored,
burned/charred, the lugs are damaged, or if the fac-
ing is flaking off. Replace the top and bottom pres-
sure plates if scored, warped, or cracked. Be sure the
driving lugs on the pressure and clutch plates arealso in good condition. The lugs must not be bent,
cracked or damaged in any way.
Replace the piston spring and wave spring if either
part is distorted, warped or broken.
Check the lug grooves in the clutch retainer. The
clutch and pressure plates should slide freely in the
slots. Replace the retainer if the grooves are worn or
damaged. Also check action of the check balls in the
retainer and piston. Each check ball must move
freely and not stick.

(4) Lubricate piston seal with petroleum jelly. Lu-
bricate other servo parts with transmission fluid.
VALVE BODY DISASSEMBLY AND INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not clamp any part of the valve body
assembly (Fig. 106) in a vise. This practice will dis-
tort the valve body and transfer plate resulting invalve bind. Slide valves and plugs out carefully. Do
not use force at any time. The valves and valve
body will be damaged if force is used. Also tag or
mark the valve body springs for reference as they
are removed. Do not allow them to become inter-
mixed.
(1) Remove screws attaching adjusting screw
bracket to valve body and transfer plate. Hold
bracket firmly against spring force while removing
last screw.
(2) Remove adjusting screw bracket, line pressure
adjusting screw, pressure regulator spring and switch
valve spring (Fig. 107).Do not remove throttle
pressure adjusting screw from bracket and do
not disturb adjusting screw settings during re-
moval.

(25) Remove 2-3 shift valve and spring from valve
body (Fig. 118).
(26) Remove 1-2 shift valve and spring from valve
body (Fig. 118).
(27) Remove regulator valve end plate (Fig. 118).
(28) Remove regulator valve line pressure plug,
pressure plug sleeve, throttle pressure plug and
spring (Fig. 118).
VALVE BODY CLEANING AND INSPECTION
The only serviceable valve body components are:
²park lock rod and E-clip
²switch valve and spring
²pressure adjusting screw bracket
²throttle valve lever
²manual lever
²manual lever shaft seal, washer, E-clip and detent
ball
²fluid filter
²converter clutch solenoid
The remaining valve body components are serviced
only as part of a complete valve body assembly.
Clean the valve body components in a parts clean-
ing solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, orany type of caustic solution. Dry the parts with com-
pressed air. Make sure all passages are clean and
free from obstructions.
Do not use rags or shop towels to wipe off
valve body components. Lint from these materi-
als will adhere to the valve body components.
Lint will interfere with valve operation and
may clog filters and fluid passages.
Inspect the throttle and manual valve levers and
shafts. Do not attempt to straighten a bent shaft or
correct a loose lever. Replace these components if
worn, bent, loose or damaged in any way.
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for
scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a straight-
edge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may
be removed with crocus cloth using only very light
pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface
may be corrected by smoothing the surface with cro-
cus cloth. The cloth should be in sheet form and be
positioned on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass, or
equally flat surface. However, if distortion is severe
or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body
will have to be replaced.

justment must be performed properly and in the cor-
rect sequence. The correct sequence is line pressure
adjustment first and throttle pressure adjustment
last.
Line Pressure Adjustment
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 124).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an approxi-
mate setting. Because of manufacturing toler-
ances, it may be necessary to vary from this
dimension to obtain desired pressure.
One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes
line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa). Turn-
ing the adjusting screw counterclockwise increases
pressure while turning the screw clockwise decreases
pressure.
Throttle Pressure Adjustment
Insert Gauge Tool C-3763 between the throttle le-
ver cam and the kickdown valve stem (Fig. 125).
Push the gauge tool inward to compress the kick-
down valve against the spring and bottom the throt-
tle valve.
Maintain pressure against kickdown valve spring.
Turn throttle lever stop screw until the screw head
touches throttle lever tang and the throttle lever cam
touches gauge tool.
The kickdown valve spring must be fully com-
pressed and the kickdown valve completely
bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY TIPS
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to en-
ter the case or transmission components during as-
sembly. Keep the transmission case and componentsclean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for assembly are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off your hands and
service tools must be made oflint freematerials.
Lint will adhere to transmission parts and could in-
terfere with valve operation, or even restrict fluid
passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with Mopar
ATF Plus during reassembly. Use Mopar Door-Ease,
or Ru-Glyde on seals and O-rings to ease installation.
Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold thrust
washers and plates in position during assembly oper-
ations. However,do notuse chassis grease, bearing
grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any
transmission part. These types of lubricants can
eventually block or restrict fluid passages and valve
operation. Use petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. Most of the transmis-
sion components are easily installed by hand when
properly aligned. If a part seems extremely difficult
to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly assem-
bled. Also verify that thrust washers, thrust plates
and seal rings are correctly positioned before assem-
bly. These parts can interfere with proper assembly if
mispositioned or ``left out'' by accident.

forth to engage and seat rear clutch discs on frontannulus gear. Verify that front clutch drive lugs are
fully engaged in slots of driving shell after installa-
tion.
FRONT BAND AND OIL PUMP INSTALLATION
(1) Slide front band over front clutch retainer (Fig.
152).
(2) Insert front band reaction pin part way into
case (Fig. 152).
(3) Install front band lever, strut, lever pin and ad-
justing screw (Fig. 153).
(4) Tighten front band adjusting screw until band
just grips clutch retainer. Verify that front/rear
clutches are still seated before continuing.
