1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER tow

See chart to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate.
Reinstall the input clutches assembly with the
selected thrust plate .
CAUTION: The cooler bypass valve must be
replaced if a transaxle failure has occurred. Do not
reuse old valve or attempt to clean old valve. When
installing bypass valve, insert with O-ring end

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)

(11) Install the oil baffle. Install the proper shim
combination under the bearing cup.
(12) Install the differential bearing retainer. Seal
the retainer to the housing with MopartSilicone
Rubber Adhesive Sealant. Torque bolts to 28 N´m
(250 in. lbs.).
(13) Using Miller Special Tool L-4436-A and an
inch-pound torque wrench, check the turning torque
of the differential (Fig. 299). The turning torque
should be between 5-18 inch-pounds.
NOTE: If turning torque is too high install a .05mm
(.002 inch) thicker shim. If the turning torque is too
low, install a .05mm (.002 inch) thinner shim. Repeat
until 5-18 inch-pounds of turning torque is
obtained.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
CLEANING VALVE BODY
Prior to removing any transaxle parts, plug all
openings and clean unit, preferably by steam. Clean-
liness through entire disassembly and assembly can-
not be overemphasized. When disassembling, each
part should be washed in a suitable solvent, then
dried by compressed air.Do not wipe parts with
shop towels.All mating surfaces in the transaxles
are accurately machined; therefore, careful handling
of all parts must be exercised to avoid nicks or burrs.
NOTE: Tag all springs, as they are removed, for
reassembly identification.
ADJUSTMENTS
GEARSHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Lift and rotate the gearshift hand lever into the
park (P) gate position and remove the ignition key.This confirms the shift lever is in the gated park (P)
position.
After confirming the park gate position, turn the
ignition switch. If the starter will operate, the park
gate position is correct. Move the shift lever into the
neutral (N) position. If the starter will operate in this
position, the linkage is properly adjusted. If the
starter fails to operate in either position, linkage
adjustment is required.
(1) Park the vehicle on level ground and set the
parking brake.
(2) Place the gearshift lever in park (P) gate posi-
tion and remove key.
(3) Loosen the cable adjustment screw at the tran-
saxle operating lever (Fig. 300).
(4) Pull the transaxle operating lever fully forward
to the park detent position.
(5) Release the park brake, then rock the vehicle
to assure it is in park lock. Reset the park brake.
(6) Tighten the cable adjustment screw to 8 N´m
(70 in. lbs.). Gearshift cable should now be properly
adjusted.
(7) Check adjustment by using the preceding pro-
cedure.

INSTALLATION
(1) Clean and inspect seal area.
(2) Lay housing on bench and install new seal with
seal driver C-4657 and handle C-4171 (Fig. 20). The
seal must be installed with the spring side facing
towards the ring gear. Drive the seal in until it bot-
toms against the case shoulder.
(3) Install input shaft.
(4) Install oil trough.(5) Apply MopartGasket Maker or equivalent to
sealing surfaces of end cover and reinstall. Tighten
bolts to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: When end cover is installed be careful
not to damage the P.T.U. Input Shaft Cover Seal.
(6) Reinstall P.T.U. assembly into vehicle.
(7) Check and fill fluids as required.
DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER SEAL
The Power Transfer Unit must be removed from
the vehicle to replace this seal.
REMOVAL

(4) Install rear cover. Use care not to cut rear
cover O-Ring when installing rear cover into P.T.U.
housing.
(5) Install rear cover retaining bolts and tighten to
28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
(6) Install propeller shaft.
(7) Check and fill fluids as required.
INPUT SHAFT COVER SEAL
The power transfer unit input shaft cover seal is
the larger of the two seals located on the inside of
the end cover. The differential bearing cup must be
removed to service this seal.
The Power Transfer Unit must be removed from
vehicle to perform this operation.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove P.T.U. end cover bolts (Fig. 33).
(2) Gently tap on end cover ears to separate cover
from case (Fig. 34).
(3) Use special tool No. 6514 and remove the dif-
ferential bearing race located in the end cover (Fig.
35). The race must be removed to gain access to the
seal.
(4) Use special tool No. 7794-A to remove seal (Fig.
36).
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean and inspect seal area.
(2) Use special tool No. MD998803 and install seal
(Fig. 37). When installing seal the spring side of the
seal must face toward the special tool.(3) Reinstall the original bearing race and shim
using special tool No. 6522 (Fig. 38) and (Fig. 39).
CAUTION: The original shim must be installed
behind the bearing cup to maintain proper bearing
preload.
(4) Apply MopartGasket Maker, Loctite Gasket
Eliminator No. 518 or equivalent to sealing surfaces
of end cover.
(5) Place end cover onto P.T.U. case and install
bolts. Tighten bolts to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.) in the
sequence shown in (Fig. 40). Retighten first bolt after
all others are tight.

REVERSE SHIFT LEVER
REMOVAL
(1) Remove reverse shift lever E-clip.
(2) Remove the flat and wave washers.
(3) Remove the reverse shift lever from the mount-
ing stud.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the reverse shift lever onto the mount-
ing stud.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
TRANSAXLE
Clean the gears, bearings, shafts, synchronizers,
thrust washers, oil feeder, shift mechanism, gear
case, and bellhousing with solvent. Dry all parts
except the bearings with compressed air. Allow thebearings to either air dry or wipe them dry with
clean shop towels.
Inspect the gears, bearings, shafts and thrust
washers. Replace the bearings and cups if the rollers
are worn, chipped, cracked, flat spotted, or brin-
nelled, or if the bearing cage is damaged or distorted.
Replace the thrust washers if cracked, chipped, or
worn. Replace the gears if the teeth are chipped,
cracked, or worn thin. Inspect the synchronizers.
Replace the sleeve if worn or damaged in any way.
Replace the stop rings if the friction material is
burned, flaking off, or worn. Check the condition of
the synchro struts and springs. Replace these parts if
worn, cracked, or distorted.
SYNCHRONIZER
CLEAN
Do not attempt to clean the blocking rings in sol-
vent. The friction material will become contaminated.
Place synchronizer components in a suitable holder
and clean with solvent. Air dry.
INSPECT
Proper inspection of components involve:
²Teeth, for wear, scuffed, nicked, burred, or bro-
ken teeth
²Struts, for wear or distortion
²Springs, for distortion, cracks, or wear
If any of these conditions exist in these compo-
nents, replace as necessary.
ADJUSTMENTS
GEARSHIFT CROSSOVER CABLE
Before replacing the gearshift cables for a hard-
shifting complaint, disconnect both cables at the
transaxle. Then, from the driver's seat, manually
operate the gearshift lever through all gear ranges. If
the gearshift lever moves smoothly, the cable(s)
should NOT be replaced. If the gear lever binds
replace the cable that is causing the binding condi-
tion. If the problem still exists, check the crossover
cable adjustment (Fig. 210).
(1) Working over the left front fender, remove the
auxiliary vent from the selector shaft housing (Fig.
211).
(2) Locate the gearshift lock pin that has been
included in the new vehicle packet located in the
glove box.
(3) Place transaxle gearshift in the neutral posi-
tion.
(4) Insert lock pin (so long end is down) into same
threaded hole (Fig. 212). A hole in the selector shaft
will align with the lock pin, allowing the lock pin to
