CONVERTER-TORQUE
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter is a hydraulic device that cou-
ples the engine crankshaft to the transmission. The
torque converter consists of an outer shell with an
internal turbine (1), a stator (2), an overrunning clutch,
an impeller (5), and an electronically applied converter
clutch (6). The converterclutch provides reduced
engine speed and greater fuel economy when
engaged. Clutch engagement also provides reduced
transmission fluid temperatures. The torque converter
hub (3) drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump and
contains an o-ring seal (4) to better control oil flow.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is
not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced
if a transmission failure resulted in large amounts
of metal or fiber contamination in the fluid.

OPERATION
The application of each driving or holding component is controlled by the valve body based upon the manual lever
position, throttle pressure, and governor pressure. The governor pressure is a variable pressure input to the valve
body and is one of the signals that a shift is necessary. First through fourth gear are obtained by selectively apply-
ing and releasing the different clutches and bands. Engine power is thereby routed to the various planetary gear
assemblies which combine with the overrunning clutch assemblies to generate the different gear ratios. The torque
converter clutch is hydraulically applied and is released when fluid is vented from the hydraulic circuit by the torque
converter control (TCC) solenoid on the valve body. The torque converter clutch is controlled by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The torque converter clutch engages in fourth gear,and in third gear under various condi-
tions, such as when the O/D switch is OFF, when the vehicle is cruising on a level surface after the vehicle has
warmed up. The torque converter clutch can also be engaged in the MANUAL SECOND gear position if high trans-
mission temperatures are sensed by the PCM. The torque converter clutch will disengage momentarily when an
increase in engine load is sensed by the PCM, such as when the vehicle beginsto go uphill or the throttle pressure
is increased. The torque converter clutch feature increases fuel economyand reduces the transmission fluid tem-
perature.
Since the overdrive clutch is applied in fourth gear only and the direct clutch is applied in all ranges except fourth
gear, the transmission operation for park, neutral, and first through third gear will be described first. Once these
powerflows are described, the third to fourth shift sequence will be described.
PARK POWERFLOW
As the engine is running and the crankshaft is rotat-
ing, the flexplate and torque converter, which are also
bolted to it, are all rotating in a clockwise direction as
viewed from the front of the engine. The notched hub
of the torque converter is connected to the oil pump’s
internal gear, supplying the transmission with oil pres-
sure. As the converter turns, it turns the input shaft in
a clockwise direction. As the input shaft is rotating, the
front clutch hub-rear clutch retainer and all their asso-
ciated parts are also rotating, all being directly con-
nected to the input shaft. The power flow from the
engine through the front clutch hub and rear clutch
retainer stops at the rear clutch retainer. Therefore, no
power flow to the output shaft occurs because no
clutches are applied. The only mechanism in use at
this time is the parking sprag (1), which locks the
parking gear (2) on the output shaft (3) to the trans-
mission case.

REMOVAL
NOTE: The overdrive unit can be removed and serviced separately. It is not necessary to remove the entire
transmission assembly to perform overdrive unit repairs.
1. Disconnect battery negative cable.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Remove the transfer case skid plate (2), if
equipped.
4. Disconnect and lower or remove any necessary
exhaust components.
5. Remove engine-to-transmission struts.
6. Remove starter motor. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
STARTING/STARTER MOTOR - REMOVAL)
7. Disconnect and remove the crankshaft position
sensor. (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL
INJECTION/CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR -
REMOVAL) Retain the sensor attaching bolts.
8. If transmission is being removed for overhaul,
remove transmission oil pan, drain fluid and rein-
stall pan.
9. Remove torque converter access cover.
10. Rotate crankshaft in clockwise direction until con-
verter bolts are accessible. Then remove bolts
one at a time. Rotate crankshaft with socket
wrench on dampener bolt.
11. Mark propeller shaft and axle yokes for assembly alignment. Then disconnect and remove propeller shaft. On 4
x 4 models, remove both propeller shafts. (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/PROPELLER SHAFT/
PROPELLER SHAFT - REMOVAL)
12. Disconnect wires from the transmission range sensor and transmissionsolenoid connector.
13. Disconnect gearshift cable (1) from the transmission manual lever (2).
14. For vehicles with gas engines, disconnect throttle valve cable from transmission bracket andthrottle valve lever.

INSTALLATION
1. Check torque converter hub inner and outer diam-
eters and hub drive notches for sharp edges burrs,
scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and notches
with 320/400 grit paper and crocus cloth if neces-
sary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging
pump seal at installation.
2. Lubricate pocket in the rear oil pump seal lip with
transmission fluid.
3. Lubricate converter pilot hub of the crankshaft with
a light coating of Mopar
High Temp Grease.
4. Align and install converter in oil pump.
5. Carefully insert converter in oil pump. Then rotate
converter back and forth until fully seated in pump
gears.
6. Check converter seating with steel scale (1) and
straightedge (2). Surface of converter lugs should
be 19mm (0.75 in.) to rear of straightedge when
converter is fully seated.
7. Temporarily secure converter with C-clamp.
8. For vehicles equipped with a diesel engine;
a. Position transmission on jack and secure it
with chains.
b. Check condition of converter driveplate.
Replace the plate if cracked, distorted or dam-
aged.Also be sure transmission dowel pins
are seated in engine block and protrude far
enough to hold transmission in alignment.
c. Raise transmission and align converter with
drive plate and converter housing with engine
block.
d. Move transmission forward. Then raise, lower
or tilt transmission to align converter housing
with engine block dowels.
e. Carefully work transmission forward and over
engine block dowels until converter hub is
seated in crankshaft.
f. Install bolts (5) attaching transmission (3) to
engine adapter (2).

9. For vehicles equipped with a gas engine;
a. Position transmission on jack and secure it
with chains.
b. Check condition of converter driveplate.
Replace the plate if cracked, distorted or dam-
aged.Also be sure transmission dowel pins
are seated in engine block and protrude far
enough to hold transmission in alignment.
c. Raise transmission and align converter with
drive plate and converter housing with engine
block.
d. Move transmission forward. Then raise, lower
or tilt transmission to align converter housing
with engine block dowels.

engine (2).
10. Install rear support.
11. Install the rear transmission crossmember.
12. Lower transmission onto crossmember and install
bolts attaching transmission mount to crossmem-
ber.
13. Remove engine support fixture.
14. Install the transfer case, if equipped. (Refer to 21
- TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE/
TRANSFER CASE - INSTALLATION)
15. Install crankshaft position sensor. (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/CRANKSHAFT
POSITION SENSOR - INSTALLATION)
16. Connect gearshift cable (1) and throttle cable (gas
engines only) to transmission.
