FLUID/FILTER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Raise vehicle.
(2) Remove oil pan and drain fluid.
(3) Clean oil pan and pan magnet. Then clean re-
maining gasket material from gasket surface of
transmission case.
(4) Remove fluid filter screws and remove filter.
(5) Position new filter on valve body and install fil-
ter screws. Tighten screws to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.)
torque.
(6) Adjust rear band at this time if required.
(7) Position new gasket on oil pan and install pan
on transmission. Tighten pan bolts to 150 in. lbs. (17
Nzm) torque.
(8) Adjust front band at this time if required.
(9) Lower vehicle and refill transmission with Mo-
par ATF Plus, type 7176 fluid.
REFILLING AFTER OVERHAUL OR FLUID/FILTER
CHANGE
The most effective way to avoid overfilling after a
fluid change or overhaul is as follows:
(1) Remove dipstick and insert clean funnel in
transmission fill tube.
(2) Add following initial quantity of Mopar ATF
Plus to transmission:
(a) If only fluid and filter were changed, add3
pints (1-1/2 quarts)of ATF Plus to transmission.
(b) If transmission was completely overhauled
and torque converter was replaced or drained, add
10 pints (5 quarts)of ATF Plus to transmission.
(3) Apply parking brakes.
(4) Start and run engine at normal curb idle speed.
(5) Apply service brakes, shift transmission
through all gear ranges then back to Neutral, and
leave engine running at curb idle speed.
(6) Remove funnel, insert dipstick and check fluid
level. Add only enough fluid to bring level toMIN
dot mark on dipstick.
(7) Drive vehicle until transmission fluid is at nor-
mal operating temperature. Then recheck fluid level
as described in next step.
(8) Leave engine running at curb idle speed, shift
into Neutral, and check fluid level again. This time,
add just enough fluid to bring level up toMAX ar-
row mark but do not overfill.
(9) When fluid level is correct, shut engine off, re-
lease park brake, remove funnel, and reseat dipstick
in fill tube.
SHIFT LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT (YJ)
(1) Check linkage adjustment by starting engine in
Park and Neutral.(2) Adjustment is OK if engine starts only in park
and Neutral. Adjustment is incorrect if engine starts
in one but not both positions.
(3) If engine starts in any position other than Park
or Neutral, or if engine will not start at all, park/
neutral position switch may be faulty.
(4) Shift transmission into Park.
(5) Raise vehicle.
(6) Check condition of shift rods, bellcrank,
bellcrank brackets and linkage bushings/grommets
(Fig. 2). Tighten, repair, replace worn, damaged
parts. Do not attempt adjustment if linkage compo-
nents are worn or damaged.
(7) Loosen shift rod trunnion lock bolt or nut. Be
sure upper shift rod slides freely in trunnion (Fig. 2).
Also be sure shift rods and bellcrank rotate freely
and do not bind at any point.
(8) Verify that manual lever is in Park detent (Fig.
2). Move lever all the way rearward to be sure it is in
Park.
(9) Check for positive engagement of park lock by
attempting to rotate propeller shaft. Shaft will not
turn when park pawl is engaged.
(10) Adjust shift rod trunnion to a obtain free pin
fit in bellcrank arm and tighten trunnion lock bolt or
nut. Prevent shift rod from turning while tightening
bolt or nut. Gearshift linkage lash must be elimi-
nated to obtain proper adjustment. Eliminate lash by
pulling downward on shift rod and pressing upward
on bellcrank.
(11) Confirm proper adjustment by starting engine
in Park and Neutral. Engine should start in these
positions only.If engine starts in any position
other than Park or Neutral, adjustment is in-
correct or neutral switch is faulty.
(12) Lower vehicle and verify that steering lock op-
erates correctly.
SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT (XJ)
(1) Shift transmission into Park.
(2) Raise vehicle.
(3) Release cable adjuster clamp to unlock cable
(Figs. 3 and 4). Clamp is at transmission end of ca-
ble.
(4) Unsnap cable from transmission cable bracket.
(5) Move transmission shift lever fully rearward to
Park detent. Lever is on manual valve shaft at driver
side of case.
(6) Verify positive engagement of park lock by at-
tempting to rotate propeller shaft. Shaft will not ro-
tate when park lock is engaged.
(7) Snap cable into cable bracket.
(8) Lock shift cable by pressing cable adjuster
clamp down until it snaps into place.
(9) Check engine starting. Engine should start only
in Park and Neutral.
(10) Lower vehicle.

Inspection
Check the sprag shaft for scores and for free move-
ment in the housing and sprag.
Check the sprag and control rod springs for loss of
tension or distortion. Check the square lug on the
sprag for broken edges. Check the lugs on the gover-
nor support (park gear) for broken edges. Replace
any park lock components that are worn or damaged.
Check the knob on the end of the control rod for
nicks, burrs and free turning. Replace the rod if the
knob is grooved, or worn, or if the rod is bent. The
park lock rods used in Chrysler 3-speed transmis-
sions are different lengths. If the rod must be re-
placed, be sure to install the correct length and
shape rod.
COMPONENT INSTALLATION
(1) Install park lock rod on valve body.
(2) Install reaction plug and pin assembly in the
housing and install the snap ring.
(3) Position sprag and spring in housing and in-
stall sprag shaft. Be sure square lug on sprag is fac-
ing park gear and that spring is positioned so it
moves sprag away from park gear.
(4) Install valve body.
(5) Install adapter housing and transfer case.
PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH SERVICE
The starter feed circuit of the switch is through the
switch center terminal (Fig. 23). It provides a ground
for the starter solenoid circuit through the gearshift
lever in park and neutral only.
The two outer terminals of the park/neutral posi-
tion switch are for the backup lamp switch circuit.
SWITCH TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Remove wiring connector from switch.
(2) Test continuity between switch center terminal
and transmission case. Continuity should exist onlywhen transmission is in Park or Neutral. Replace
switch if continuity occurs in any gear other than
Park or Neutral.
(3) Shift into reverse and test continuity between
two outside terminals on switch. Continuity should
exist only when transmission is in reverse.
(4) Leave transmission in reverse and test continu-
ity between each switch outer terminal and transmis-
sion case. Continuity should not exist between either
pin and case in reverse.
(5) If switch tests OK, check gearshift linkage ad-
justment or backup light circuit. Replace switch if it
fails continuity tests.
SWITCH REPLACEMENT
(1) Position drain pan under neutral switch.
(2) Disconnect switch wires.
(3) Remove switch from transmission.
(4) Move shift lever to Park and Neutral positions.
Inspect manual lever fingers, lever and shaft for
proper alignment with switch opening in case. Re-
place lever if worn or bent. Do not attempt to
straighten the lever.
(5) Install new switch and seal in case. Tighten
switch to 33 Nzm (24 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Adjust transmission fluid level as required.
(7) Verify switch operation.
SPEEDOMETER SERVICE
Rear axle gear ratio and tire size determine speed-
ometer pinion requirements. If the pinion must be re-
placed, refer to the parts catalogue information for
the correct part. It is important for speedometer ac-
curacy that the pinion have the correct number of
teeth.
The speedometer assembly used in XJ models is
the new unit type (one-piece) speed sensor (Fig. 24).
However, YJ models may be equipped with either the
new unit style, or the older style that has a two-piece
