STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the
stator's over-running clutch to its shaft (Fig. 236).
Under stall conditions (the turbine is stationary), the
oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the
stator blades and tries to rotate them in a counter-
clockwise direction. When this happens the over±run-
ning clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator
from rotating. With the stator locked, the oil strikes
the stator blades and is redirected into a ªhelpingº
direction before it enters the impeller. This circula-
tion of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator,
and stator to impeller, can produce a maximum
torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine
begins to match the speed of the impeller, the fluid
that was hitting the stator in such as way as to
cause it to lock±up is no longer doing so. In this con-
dition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel
and the converter acts as a fluid coupling.

(1) With output shaft gear removed, install a 13.65
mm (0.537 inch) and a 1.34 mm (0.053 inch) gauging
shims on the planetary rear annulus gear hub using
grease to hold the shims in place. The 13.65 mm
shim has a larger inside diameter and must be
installed over the output shaft first. The 1.34 mm
shim pilots on the output shaft.
(2) Install output shaft gear and bearing assembly,
torque to 271 N´m (200 ft. lbs.).
(3) To measure bearing end play:
(4) Attach Tool L-4432 to the output shaft gear.(5) Mount a steel ball with grease into the end of
the output shaft.
(6) Push and pull the gear while rotating back and
forth to insure seating of the bearing rollers.
(7) Using a dial indicator, mounted to the trans-
axle case, measure output shaft end play.
(8) Once bearing end play has been determined,
refer to the output shaft bearing shim chart.
(9) The 12.65 mm (0.498 inch), 13.15 mm (0.518
inch) or 13.65 mm (0.537 inch) shims are always
installed first.These shims have lubrication slots
which are necessary for proper bearing lubrica-
tion.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENTS
LINE PRESSURE
An incorrect throttle pressure setting will cause
incorrect line pressure readings even though line
pressure adjustment is correct. Always inspect and
correct throttle pressure adjustment before adjusting
the line pressure.
The approximate adjustment for line pressure is
1-5/16 inches, measured from valve body to inner
edge of adjusting nut. However, due to manufactur-
ing tolerances, the adjustment can be varied to
obtain specified line pressure.
The adjusting screw may be turned with an Allen
wrench. One complete turn of adjusting screw
changes closed throttle line pressure approximately
1-2/3 psi. Turning adjusting screw counterclockwise
increases pressure, and clockwise decreases pressure.
THROTTLE PRESSURE
Throttle pressures cannot be tested accurately;
therefore, the adjustment should be measured if a
malfunction is evident.
(1) Insert gauge pin of Tool C-3763 between the
throttle lever cam and kickdown valve.
(2) By pushing in on tool, compress kickdown
valve against its spring so throttle valve is com-
pletely bottomed inside the valve body.
(3) While compressing spring, turn throttle lever
stop screw with adapter C-4553. Turn until head of
screw touches throttle lever tang, with throttle lever
cam touching tool and throttle valve bottomed. Be
sure adjustment is made with spring fully com-
pressed and valve bottomed in the valve body.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR/
PINION GEAR
REMOVAL
(1) Remove harness connector from sensor (Fig.
340) . Be sure weather seal stays on harness connec-
tor.
(2) Remove bolt securing the sensor in the exten-
sion housing (Fig. 340) .
(3) Carefully pull sensor and pinion gear assembly
out of extension housing.
(4) Remove pinion gear from sensor (Fig. 340) .
(5) Inspect pinion gear for damage (missing teeth,
etc.) and replace as necessary.
NOTE: When removing vehicle speed sensor for
any reason, a new o-ring MUST be used.
