1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER differential

(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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
POWER TRANSFER UNIT
The Power Transfer Unit (P.T.U.) is attached to a
modified automatic transaxle case where the right
half shaft extension housing would normally be
located. The Transfer Unit provides the power to the
rear wheels through a hypoid ring gear and pinion
set.
The Power Transfer Unit is sealed from the tran-
saxle and has its own oil sump. The Unit uses SAE
85W-90 gear lubricant and holds 1.15 liters (1.22
quarts).
The Power Transfer Unit fill plug is located on the
end cover (Fig. 1).Do not mistake the black plas-
tic inspection plug located on the P.T.U. case
for the fill plug.Service of the Power Transfer Unit is limited to:
²Seals
²Gaskets
²One ball bearing
²Output flange
If the ring gear and pinion, any tapered roller
bearings, case, covers, or pinion carrier fail the entire
unit must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
SEAL IDENTIFICATION
For accurate seal diagnosis, repair seal name and
location is critical. Refer to (Fig. 2), (Fig. 3), (Fig. 4)
and (Fig. 5) for correct seal name and location.

FLUID LEAK DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing fluid leaks on the Power Transfer
Unit two weep holes are provided to diagnose certainseal leaks. These holes are located on the bottom side
of the assembly (Fig. 6).
If fluid leak is detected from either weep hole, seal
replacement is necessary.Do not attempt to repair
the leak by sealing weep holes,they must be kept
clear of sealants for proper seal operation.
If fluid is leaking from weep hole A (Fig. 6) the
type of fluid leaking will determine which seal needs
to be replaced. If the fluid leaking is red in color
(transmission fluid) this indicates that the Transmis-
sion differential carrier seal should be replaced. If
the fluid leaking is light brown (gear lube) this indi-
cates that the Power Transfer Unit input seal should
be replaced. For replacement of these seals refer to
Power Transfer Unit Service Procedures.
If fluid is leaking from weep hole B (Fig. 6) the
type of fluid leaking will determine which seal is
leaking. If the fluid leaking is red in color (transmis-
sion fluid) this indicates that the input shaft end seal
should be replaced. If the fluid leaking is light brown
(gear lube) this indicates that the half shaft inner
seal and P.T.U. input shaft cover seal should be
replaced. For replacement of these seals refer to
Power Transfer Unit Service Procedures.
Before condemning any seal or gasket be sure that
the rear rocker arm cover on the engine is not the
cause of the oil leak. Oil leaking from the rocker arm
cover is easily mistaken for a leaking Power Transfer
Unit.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

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
(1) Remove P.T.U. from vehicle.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

(2) Use a pry bar to remove seal from retainer
plate (Fig. 21). Be careful not to damage seal journal
when removing seal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Using a large socket, carefully install new seal.
The spring side of the seal must face the transaxle
differential.
(2) Reinstall the P.T.U. into the vehicle.(3) Check and fill fluids as required.
REAR COVER O-RING
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(2) Remove rear cover retaining bolts (Fig. 22).
(3) Index rear cover to the case for later reassem-
bly (Fig. 23).
(4) Pull rear cover out of the P.T.U. case (Fig. 24).
(5) Remove rear cover O-Ring (Fig. 25).
INSTALLATION
(1) To install, reverse removal procedure.

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.
