14. For vehicles with gas engines, disconnect throttle valve cable from transmission bracket andthrottle valve lever.

15. For vehicles with a diesel engine, remove the
bolts (2) holding the transmission throttle valve
actuator (TTVA) (1) to the transmission case.
16. Allow the TTVA (1) to rotate clockwise away from
the transmission.
17. Remove the wiring connector (2) from the TTVA
(1).
18. Lift the TTVA (1) straight upward and off the throt-
tle valve shaft (3).

19. On 4X4 models, disconnect shift rod from transfer
case shift lever.
20. Support rear of engine with safety stand or jack.
21. Raise transmission slightly with service jack to
relieve load on crossmember and supports.
22. Remove the nuts (3) securing rear support (1) to
the transmission crossmember.
23. Remove the bolts(2) holding the rear support (1)
to the transmission (5) remove the rear support.
24. Remove bolts attaching crossmember to frame
and remove crossmember.
25. On 4X4 models, remove transfer case. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE/
TRANSFER CASE - REMOVAL)
26. Remove fill tube (7) bracket bolts and pull tube
out of transmission. Retain fill tube seal (6). On
4X4 models, it will also be necessary to remove
bolt attaching transfer case vent tube to converter
housing.
27. Disconnect fluid cooler lines (6, 7) at transmission
(5), diesel engines.

28. Disconnect fluid cooler lines (4, 5) at transmission
(3), gas engines.
29. Remove all bolts (1) holding the transmission (3)
to the engine adapter (2), diesel engines.
30. Carefully work transmission and torque converter
assembly rearward off engine block dowels.
31. Lower transmission and remove assembly from
under the vehicle.
32. To remove torque converter, remove C-clamp
from edge of bell housing and carefully slide
torque converter out of the transmission.

33. Remove all bolts (1) holding the transmission (3)
to the engine adapter (2), gas engines.
34. Carefully work transmission and torque converter
assembly rearward off engine block dowels.
35. Lower transmission and remove assembly from

DISASSEMBLY
1. Clean exterior of transmission with suitable solvent
or pressure washer.
2. Place transmission in vertical position.
3. Measure the input shaft end play as follows.
a. Attach Adapter 8266-5 (2) to Handle 8266-8
(1).
b. Attach Dial Indicator C-3339 (3) to Handle
8266-8 (1).
c. Install the assembled tool onto the input shaft
of the transmission and tighten the retaining
screw on Adapter 8266-5 to secure it to the
input shaft.
d. Position the dial indicator plunger against a flat
spot on the oil pump and zero the dial indica-
tor.
e. Move input shaft in and out and record read-
ing. Record the maximum travel for assembly
reference

11. Remove accumulator outer spring (2) (diesel
engines only), piston (1), and inner spring (3)
(V-10 engine only). Note position of piston and
springs for assembly reference. Remove and dis-
card piston seals if worn or cut.
12. Remove pump oil seal with suitable pry tool or
slide-hammer mounted screw.
13. Remove front band lever pin access plug (1). Use
square end of 1/4 in. drive extension (2) to
remove plug as shown.
14. Begin removal of the oil pump and reaction shaft
support assembly by tightening the front band
adjusting screw (2) until band is tight around front
clutch retainer. This will prevent retainer from
coming out with pump and possibly damaging
clutch or pump components.

ACCUMULATOR, VALVE BODY, OIL PAN, AND TORQUE CONVERTER
1. Install accumulator inner spring (3) (V-10 engine
only), piston (1), and outer spring (2) (diesel engine
only).
2. Verify that the transmission range sensor hasnot
been installed in case. Valve body can not be
installed if sensor is in position.
3. Install new valve body manual shaft seal (2) in
case. Lubricate seal lip and manual shaft with
petroleum jelly. Start seal over shaft and into case.
Seat seal with 15/16 inch, deep well socket (1).
4. Install valve body as follows:
a. Start park rod into park pawl. If rod will not
slide past park pawl, pawl is engaged in park
gear. Rotate overdrive output shaft with suit-
able size 12 point socket; this will free pawl
and allow rod to engage.
b.Alignandseatvalvebodyoncase.Besure
manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are
fully seated in case.
c. Install and start all valve body attaching bolts
by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a diago-
nal pattern to 12 Nꞏm (105 in. lbs.) torque.Do
not overtighten valve body bolts. This could
result in distortion and cross leakage after
installation..
5. Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter screws to 4 Nꞏm (35 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: If the condition of the transmission before the overhaul procedure caused excessive metallic or
fiber contamination in the fluid, replace the torque converter. Fluid contamination and transmission failure
can result if not done.
6. Move the transmission manual shaft lever to the manual LOW position.
7. Install the TRS mounting bracket into the transmission case. Using TRS Mounting Bracket Socket 8581 (3),
tighten the mounting bracket (2) to 34 Nꞏm (300 in.lbs.).
