NOTE: Use screw-in dowels or phillips-head screw-
drivers to align pump to case.CAUTION: Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump
after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.
Measure the input shaft end play with the tran-
saxle in the vertical position. This will ensure that
the measurement will be accurate.
NOTE: Input shaft end play must be .005 to .025
inch.
For example, if end play reading is .055 inch, select
No. 4 Thrust Plate which is .071 to .074 thick. This
should provide an input shaft end play reading of
.020 inch which is within specifications.

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
towards rear of case.

(1) Install transaxle solenoid pack (Fig. 284).
(2) Install input and output speed sensors.
This concludes the assembly of the transaxle cen-
terline.
DIFFERENTIAL REPAIR
NOTE: The differential is serviced as an assembly.
The only parts that are serviceable within the differ-
ential are the differential bearing cups and cones. If
any other part fails within the differential, you must
replace the differential assembly along with the
transfer shaft.
DISASSEMBLE
The transfer shaft should be removed for differen-
tial repair and bearing turning torque checking.
(1) Remove the differential cover and bolts (Fig.
285) (Fig. 286).
(2) Remove the differential bearing retainer and
bolts (Fig. 287) (Fig. 288).(3) Using a plastic hammer, remove extension
housing/adapter plate on the right side of the tran-
saxle.

(4) Use Miller Special Tool 5048, 5048-3 Collets,
and L-4539-2 Button to remove the differential bear-
ing cone on the extension housing side.
(5) Use Miller Special Tool 5048, 5048-4 Collets,
and L-4539-2 Button to remove the differential bear-
ing cone on the bearing retainer side (Fig. 289) (Fig.

(6) Using Miller Special Tool L-4518, remove the
differential bearing race from the extension housing.
(7) Using Miller Special Tool 6062A, remove the
differential bearing race from the bearing retainer
(Fig. 292) (Fig. 293).

CHECKING SIDE GEAR END PLAY
Check side gear end play whenever the differential
is removed for service.
NOTE: Side gear end play must be BETWEEN 0.001
to 0.013 inch.
ASSEMBLE
NOTE: Use MoparTSilicone Rubber Adhesive Seal-
ant, or equivalent, on retainer and extension hous-
ing/adapter plate to seal to case.
(1) Using Miller Special Tool L-4410, and C-4171,
install differential bearing to differential (extension
housing side) (Fig. 296).

install differential bearing to differential (bearing
retainer side).
(3) Using Miller Special Tool 6061 and C-4171,

DIFFERENTIAL BEARING PRELOAD
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Perform all differential bearing preload mea-
surements with the transfer shaft and gear
removed.
DIFFERENTIAL BEARING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT USING
EXISTING SHIM
(1) Position the transaxle assembly vertically on
the support stand, differential bearing retainer side
up.
(2) Install Tool L-4436A into the differential and
onto the pinion mate shaft (Fig. 298).
(3) Rotate the differential at least one full revolu-
tion to ensure the tapered roller bearings are fully
seated.
(4) Using Tool L-4436A and an inch-pound torque
wrench, check the turning torque of the differential
(Fig. 299).The turning torque should be
between 5 and 18 inch-pounds.
(5) If the turning torque is within specifications,
remove tools. Setup is complete.
(6) If turning torque is not within specifications
proceed with the following steps.
(a) Remove differential bearing retainer from
the transaxle case.
(b) Remove the bearing cup from the differential
bearing retainer using Tool 6062A.(c) Remove the existing shim from under the
cup.
(d) Measure the existing shim.
NOTE: If the turning torque was too high when
measured, install a .05 mm (.002 inch) thinner shim.
If the turning torque is was too low, install a .05 mm
(.002 inch) thicker shim. Repeat until 5 to 18 inch-
pounds turning torque is obtained.
Oil Baffle is not required to be installed when
making shim selection.
(e) Install the proper shim under the bearing
cup. Make sure the oil baffle is installed properly
in the bearing retainer, below the bearing shim
and cup.
(f) Install the differential bearing retainer using
Tool 5052 and C-4171. Seal the retainer to the
housing with MOPARtAdhesive Sealant and
torque bolts to 28 N´m (250 in. lbs.).
