spring (3) and remove the split retaining ring hold-
ing the Belleville spring into the low/reverse clutch
retainer.
10. Remove the low/reverse Belleville spring (3) and
piston from the low/reverse clutch retainer. Use 20
psi of air pressure to remove the piston if
necessary.
CLEANING
Cleantheoverrunningclutchassembly,clutchcam,andlow-reverseclutch retainer. Dry them with compressed air
after cleaning.
INSPECTION
Inspect condition of each clutch part after cleaning. Replace the overrunning clutch roller and spring assembly if any
rollers or springs are worn or damaged, or if the roller cage is distorted, or damaged. Replace the cam if worn,
cracked or damaged.
Replace the low-reverse clutch retainer if the clutch race, roller surface or inside diameter is scored, worn or dam-
aged.

ASSEMBLY
1. Check the bleed orifice to ensure that it is not
plugged or restricted.
2. Install a new seal on the low/reverse piston. Lubri-
cate the seal with Mopar
ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission Fluid, prior to installation.
3. Install the low/reverse piston into the low/reverse
clutch retainer.
4. Position the low/reverse Belleville spring (3) on the
low/reverse piston.
5. Using Spring Compressor 8285 (2) and a suitable
shop press (1), compress the low/reverse Belleville
spring (3) and install the split retaining ring to hold
the Belleville spring into the low/reverse clutch
retainer.
6. Install the lower overrunning clutch snap-ring.
7. Assemble the inner and outer races (2) of the over-
running clutch (3).
8. Position the overrunning clutch spacer (4) on the
overrunning clutch (3).
9. Install the upper overrunning clutch snap-ring (1).

10. Assemble and install the low/reverse clutch pack (3, 4) into the low/reverse clutch retainer (5).
11. Install the low/reverse reaction plate (2) into the low/reverse clutch retainer (5). The reaction plate is directional
and must be installed with the flat side down.
12. Install the low/reverse clutch pack snap-ring (1). The snap-ring is selectable and should be chosen to give the
correct clutch pack clearance.
13. Measure the low/reverse clutch pack clearance and adjust as necessary. The correct clutch clearance is 1.00-
1.74 mm (0.039-0.069 in.).
14. Install the overrunning clutch (12) into the low/reverse clutch retainer (5) making sure that the index splines are
aligned with the retainer.
15. Install the overrunning clutch inner snap-ring (13).

PUMP-OIL
DESCRIPTION
The oil pump (2) is located at the front of the trans-
mission inside the bell housing and behind the trans-
mission front cover.
The oil pump consists of two independent pumps.
Oil Pump Gears

2-DRIVEGEAR
3 - DRIVEN GEARS
Page 3462 of 5267
The oil pump also contains a number of valves. The
converter clutch switch (3) and control valves (2),
pressure regulator valve (5), and converter pressure
limit valve (6) are all located in the oil pump valve
body.
A front seal (2), and a bolt on reaction shaft (5) complete the oil pump assembly.

OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub rotates the oil pump drive gear. As the drive gear rotates both
driven gears, a vacuum is created when the gear teeth come out of mesh. This suction draws fluid through the
pump inlet from the oil pan. As the gear teeth come back into mesh, pressurized fluid is forced into the pump outlet
and to the oil pump valves.
At low speeds, both sides of the pump supply fluid to the transmission. As the speed of the torque converter
increases, the flow from both sides increases until the flow from the primary side alone is sufficient to meet system
demands. At this point, the check valve located between the two pumps closes. The secondary side is shut down
and the primary side supplies all the fluid to the transmission.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE
The converter clutch switch valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the front (OFF) side of the
torque converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH REGULATOR VALVE
The converter clutch regulator valve is used to control the hydraulic pressure supplied to the back (ON) side of the
torque converter clutch.
TORQUE CONVERTER LIMIT VALVE
The torque converter limit valve serves to limit the available line pressure to the torque converter clutch.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - OIL PUMP VOLUME CHECK
Measuring the oil pump output volume will determine if sufficient oil flowto the transmission oil cooler exists, and
whether or not an internal transmission failure is present.
Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper level. Refer to the Fluid Level Check procedure in this section. If
necessary, fill the transmission to the proper level with Mopar
ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid.
1. Disconnect theTo coolerline at the cooler inlet and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.
CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level, fluid collection should not exceed (1) quart or internal dam-
age to the transmission may occur.
2. Run the engineat 1800 rpm, with the shift selector in neutral. Verify that the transmission fluid temperature is
below 104.5° C (220° F) for this test.
3. If one quart of transmission fluid is collected in the container in 30 seconds or less, oil pump flow volume is
within acceptable limits. If fluid flow is intermittent, or it takes more than 30 seconds to collect one quart of fluid,
refer to the Hydraulic Pressure tests in this section for further diagnosis.
4. Re-connect theTo c o o l e rline to the transmission cooler inlet.
5. Refill the transmission to proper level.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the bolts holding the reaction shaft support (5) to the oil pump.
2. Remove the reaction shaft support (5) from the oil pump.
3. Remove all bolts holding the oil pump halves together.
4. Using suitable prying tools, separate the oil pump sections by inserting the tools in the supplied areas and prying
the halves apart.
NOTE: The oil pump halves are aligned to each other through the use of two dowels. Be sure to pry upward
evenly to prevent damage to the oil pump components.
