TRANSMISSION ADAPTER
1. Remove shift rail bushings (2) with Remover 9367
(3) and Slide Hammer C-3752 (1).
2. Remove countershaft and mainshaft bearing cups
and select shims.
3. Remove input shaft seal.
CLEANING
Clean the gears, bearings shafts, extension/adapter housing and gear case with solvent. Dry all parts except the
bearings with compressed air. Allow the bearings to either air dry or wipe them dry with clean shop towels.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect bearings, shaft and thrust washers. Replace bearings and mating components if worn, chipped, cracked,
flat-spotted or brinnelled.
2. Inspect gear tooth surface and replace gear if worn, chipped, cracked.
3. Inspect synchronizers components, if any component is worn or damage, the synchro must be replaced as and
assembly.
4. Inspect blocker rings and fiction cones. replace if worn, damaged or if friction material is burned.
5. Inspect shift forks for wear and distortion. Check fit of the sleeve in the fork. Replace fork if the roll pin holes are
worn oversize or damaged. Replace shift fork roll pins if necessary or if doubt exists about their condition.
6. Inspect case and housing/adapter sealing and mating surfaces are free of burrs and nicks. Inspect alignment
dowels in case, housing and adapter. Replace gear case housing, adapter orextension housing if cracked or
broken.

(2) and brass blocker ring (1) on mainshaft (4).
33. Install reverse gear (1) thrust washer (2) and snap
ring (4).
.
34. Install mainshaft (3) roller bearing (4), spacers (2)
and snap ring.

6. Install back up lamp switch (2) connector (1).
7. Install fuel line to top plate stud.
8. Install reverse lockout solenoid (1) harness connec-
tor (2).
9. Install hydraulic clutch quick connector (1) to the
slave cylinder.
10. Clean transmission shifter tower sealing surfaces
and apply a bead of Mopar
Gasket Maker.
11. Install shifter tower and tighten bolts to 18 Nꞏm
(156 in. lbs.).
12. Install propeller shaft with reference marks
aligned.
CAUTION: The drive shaft strap bolts must be
replaced or cleaned and Loctite
242 applied.
CAUTION: Replace drive shaft joint straps when-
ever they are removed. The straps slightly deform
when torqued in place. Reuse of the straps may
result in reduced clamp load on the universal joint
cap.

COUNTERSHAFT BEARINGS PRELOAD
1. Install countershaft with original shim into adapter.
2. Install case and bolt together using all bolts.
3. Rotate countershaft to seat bearings.
4. Screw Stud 8161 into the case and set up dial indi-
cator (1) on the countershaft (2).
5. Zero dial indicator and record end play. If there is
no end play, install .010 in. thinner shim until an
end play is obtained.
6. Once an end play reading is obtained, add end
play number to the shims in the transmission.
7. Install shim(s) behind the countershaft bearing cup
in the front adapter.

SOLENOID-REVERSE LOCKOUT
DESCRIPTION
The reverse lockout solenoid prevents shifting into reverse when the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph. Solenoid
is threaded into the left side of the transmission.
OPERATION
When vehicle speed is less than 5 mph, the PCM provides a ground for the solenoid (energized) and allows shifting.
When vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph, the solenoid is deactivated and prevents the transmission from being
shifted into reverse.
