7. Place transmission case in upright position, or
place blocks under front end of transmission repair
stand to tilt case rearward. This makes it easier to
install front/rear clutch assembly (1).
8. Align discs in rear clutch. Then install and engage
assembly (1) in front planetary and driving shell.
Turn clutch retainers back and forth until both
clutches are seated.
9. Position front band lever (1) in case and over servo
rod guide. Then install front band lever pin in case
and slide it through lever.
10. Coat threads of front band pin access plug with
sealer and install it in case. Tighten plug to 17
Nꞏm (13 ft. lbs.) torque.
11. Slide front band over front clutch retainer and
install front band strut (2) and anchor (3).
12. Tighten front band adjusting screw until band is
tight on clutch retainer. This will hold clutches in
place while oil pump is being installed.Ve r i f y t h a t
front/rear clutch assembly is still properly
seated before tightening band.

OIL PUMP
1. Install oil pump Pilot Studs C-3288-B (2) in case.
2. Install new oil pump gasket (1) on pilot studs and
seat it in case. Be sure gasket is properly aligned
with fluid passages in case.
3. Coat the reaction shaft thrust washer (1) with
petroleum jelly to hold it in place. Then install
washer over reaction shaft hub and seat it on
pump.
CAUTION: The thrust washer bore (I.D.), is cham-
fered (2) on one side. Make sure the chamfered
side is installed so it faces the pump.
4. Check seal rings (1) on reaction shaft support. Be
sure rings are hooked together correctly. Also be
sure fiber thrust washer (3) is in position . Use
extra petroleum jelly to hold washer in place if
necessary.
Page 3835 of 5267

5. Check the torque converter hub seal ring on the
reaction shaft for damage. Also check that the seal
ring rotates freely in the reaction shaft groove.
Replace the seal if necessary.
6. Lubricate oil pump seals with petroleum Mopar
AT F + 4 .
7. Mount oil pump on pilot studs and slide pump into
case opening (1).Work pump into case by hand.
Do not use a mallet or similar tools to seat
pump.

Tighten pump bolts alternately and evenly to fully
seat pump in case. Then final-tighten pump bolts to
20 Nꞏm (15 ft. lbs.) torque.
9. Verify correct installation. Rotate input and interme-
diate shafts and check for bind. If bind exists, com-
ponents are either mis-assembled, or not seated.
Disassemble and correct as necessary before
proceeding.
INPUT SHAFT END PLAY CHECK
NOTE: Overdrive unit must be installed in order to
correctly measure the input shaft end-play.
1. Measure input shaft end play.
NOTE: If end play is incorrect, transmission is
incorrectly assembled, or reaction shaft thrust
washer is incorrect. The reaction shaft thrust
washer is selective.
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 reading. End play should be 0.86 - 2.13 mm (0.034 - 0.084 in.).
Adjust as necessary.

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.

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.).
Page 3837 of 5267

8. Install the TRS into the mounting bracket with the
wiring connector facing the front of the transmis-
sion.
9. Install the two screws to hold the TRS to the
mounting bracket. Tighten the screws to 5 Nꞏm (45
in.lbs.).
10. Verify proper sensor operation.
11. Move the transmission manual shaft lever to the
PARK position.
12. Install torque converter. Use C-clamp or metal
strap to hold converter in place for installation.
BAND ADJUSTMENT AND FINAL
1. Adjust front and rear bands as follows:
a. Loosen locknut on each band adjusting screw 4-5 turns.
b. Tighten both adjusting screws to 8 Nꞏm (72 in. lbs.).
c. Back off front band adjusting screw 1-3/4 turns, for diesel vehicles, or1-1/2 turns for V-10 vehicles.
d. Back off rear band adjusting screw 3 turns.
e. Hold each adjusting screw in position and tighten locknut to 34 Nꞏm (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
2. Install magnet in oil pan. Magnet seats on small protrusion at corner of pan.
3. Position new oil pan gasket on case and install oil pan. Tighten pan boltsto 13.6 Nꞏm (125 in. lbs.).
4. Install throttle valve and shift selector levers on valve body manual lever shaft.
5. Apply small quantity of dielectric grease to terminal pins of solenoid case connector and neutral switch.
6. Fill transmission with recommended fluid.
