TRANSMISSION COOLER SERVICE
Main Cooler
The transmission main cooler is located in the ra-
diator. The main cooler can be flushed when neces-
sary, however, the cooler is not a repairable
component. If the cooler is damaged, plugged, or
leaking, the radiator will have to be replaced.
Auxiliary Cooler
The auxiliary cooler is mounted in front of the ra-
diator at the driver side of the vehicle (Fig. 48). The
cooler can be flushed when necessary, while mountedin the vehicle. The cooler can also be removed for ac-
cess, repair, or replacement as needed.
The main and auxiliary coolers should both be
flushed whenever a transmission or converter clutch
malfunction generates sludge, debris, or particles of
clutch friction material.
Cooler Service
The main cooler (and radiator) and the auxiliary
cooler can be removed for service or access to other
components. Auxiliary cooler removal requires that

21 - 196 AW-4 IN-VEHICLE SERVICEJ

the front bumper and radiator support be removed
for access to the cooler lines and attaching bracket.
REVERSE FLUSHING MAIN AND AUXILIARY
COOLERS AND COOLER LINES
Reverse flushing the cooler and lines will prevent
sludge and particles from flowing back into the
transmission after repair. The flushing procedure ap-
plies to standard (in-radiator) coolers and auxiliary
coolers equally.
Pressure equipment is preferred for reverse flush-
ing. However, reverse flushing can be performed us-
ing hand operated equipment as described in the
following procedure.
(1) Disconnect cooler lines at transmission and at
auxiliary cooler (Figs. 48 and 49).
(2) Position drain pan under cooler line to catch
material flushed through coolers and lines.
(3) Reverse flush each cooler using hand operated
suction gun filled with mineral spirits. Insert gun
nozzle (or hose) into cooler inlet (return) line. Then
force mineral spirits through into line and through
cooler.
(4) Continue reverse flushing until fluid exiting in-
let (pressure) line is clear and free of debris/residue.
(5) Replace radiator if fluid cannot be pumped
through main cooler. Replace auxiliary cooler if leaks
are evident, or if fluid cannot be pumped through it.
(6) Clear flushing materials from coolers and lines
with short pulses of compressed air. Insert air gun
nozzle into cooler inlet (return) line and continue
short pulses of air until all fluid is cleared from
cooler and lines.(7) Pump one quart of fresh automatic transmis-
sion fluid through cooler and lines before reconnect-
ing cooler lines.
FLOW TESTING TRANSMISSION MAIN
COOLER
Cooler flow is checked by measuring the amount of
fluid flow through the cooler in a 20 second time pe-
riod. The test is performed with the engine running
and transmission in neutral. Fluid is then pumped
through the cooler by the transmission oil pump.
(1) Disconnect cooler inlet line at transmission fit-
ting.
(2) Securely attach hose to end of inlet line and po-
sition line in a one quart test container.
(3) Add extra quart of fluid to transmission.
(4) Use stopwatch to check flow test time.
(5) Shift transmission into neutral and set parking
brake.
(6) Start and run engine at curb idle speed and im-
mediately note cooler flow. Approximately one quart
of fluid should flow into test container in 20 second
period.
(7) If cooler flow is intermittent, flows less than
one quart in 20 seconds, or does not flow at all,
cooler is faulty and must be replaced.
TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE FITTINGS
Quick connect fittings are used at the transmission
cooler line connections. The fitting seals and guides
are serviceable.
Replace the seals and guides whenever the fittings
exhibit leakage, or will not properly snap into place.

sensor (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: The crankshaft position sensor can be
damaged during transmission removal (or installa-
tion) if the sensor is still bolted to the engine block.
To avoid damage, remove the sensor before remov-
ing the transmission.
(15) Remove starter motor.
(16) Remove bolts attaching converter to drive
plate.
(17) Remove bolts attaching converter housing to
engine.

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

(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.

(55) Remove planetary and brake drum thrust
bearing and race assembly (Fig. 46).
(56) Remove second brake drum gasket from case
with gasket scraper or screwdriver (Fig. 47). Retain
tube shaped gasket if condition is OK.
(57) Measure inside diameter of transmission case
rear bushing with bore gauge or inside micrometer
(Fig. 48). Maximum allowable diameter is 38.18 mm
(1.5031 in.).Replace transmission case if bush-
ing I.D. is greater than specified. Bushing is not
serviceable.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean the transmission components with solvent
and dry them with compressed air only. Do not use
shop towels or rags.
Blow compressed air through all oil feed passages
and channels to be sure they are clear. Inspect the
transmission components for wear and damage. Re-
place components that are damaged or worn beyond
the limits specified in the individual overhaul proce-
dures.
Replace all O-rings, gaskets and seals. These com-
ponents are not reusable. Also replace any snap ring
that is distorted or damaged.
During overhaul assembly operations, lubricate the
transmission components with Jeep or Mopar Mer-
conŸ automatic transmission fluid or petroleum jelly
as indicated. Petroleum jelly should be used to prelu-
bricate thrust bearings, washers and races. It can
also be used to hold parts in position during assem-
bly.
Soak replacement clutch and brake pack com-
ponents in transmission fluid for at least 30
minutes before installation.Fig. 46 Removing Planetary And Brake Drum Thrust
