d. Push overdrive piston into position in retainer.
e. Verify that the locating lugs entered the lug bores in the retainer.
6. Install intermediate shaft spacer on intermediate shaft.
7. Install overdrive piston thrust plate on overdrive piston.
8. Install overdrive piston thrust bearing on overdrive piston.
9. Install transmission speed sensorand o-ring seal in overdrive case.
INSTALLATION
1. Be sure overdrive unit Alignment Tool 6227-2 is
fully seated before moving unit. If tool is not seated
and gear splines rotate out of alignment, overdrive
unit will have to be disassembled in order to realign
splines.
2. If overdrive piston retainer was not removed during
service and original case gasket is no longer reus-
able, prepare new gasket by trimming it.
3. Cut out old case gasket (1) around piston retainer
with razor knife (2).
4. Use old gasket as template and trim new gasket to
fit.
5. Position new gasket over piston retainer and on
transmission case. Use petroleum jelly to hold gas-
ket in place if necessary. Do not use any type of
sealer to secure gasket. Use petroleum jelly only.
6. Install selective spacer (1) on intermediate shaft
(3), if removed. Spacer goes in groove just rear-
ward of shaft rear splines.
7. Install thrust bearing in overdrive unit sliding hub. Use petroleum jelly to hold bearing in position.
CAUTION: Be sure the shoulder on the inside diameter of the bearing is facingforward.
8. Verify that splines in overdrive planetary gear and overrunning clutchhub are aligned with Alignment Tool 6227-2.
Overdrive unit cannot be installed if splines are not aligned. If splines have rotated out of alignment, unit will
have to be disassembled to realign splines.
9. Carefully slide Alignment Tool 6227-2 out of overdrive planetary gear and overrunning clutch splines.
10. Raise overdrive unit and carefully slide it straight onto intermediate shaft. Insert park rod into park lock reaction
plug at same time. Avoid tilting overdrive during installation as this could cause planetary gear and overrunning
clutch splines to rotate out of alignment. If this occurs, it will be necessary to remove and disassemble overdrive
unit to realign splines.
11. Work overdrive unit forward on intermediate shaft until seated against transmission case.
12. Install bolts attaching overdrive unit to transmission unit. Tightenbolts in diagonal pattern to 34 Nꞏm (25 ft-lbs).
13. Connect the transmission speed sensor and overdrive wiring connectors.
14. Install the transfer case, if equipped. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/TRANSFER CASE - INSTAL-
LATION)

RETAINER-OVERRUNNING CLUTCH CAM/OVERDRIVE PISTON
DESCRIPTION
The overrunning clutch consists of an inner race (5),
an outer race (or cam) (1), rollers (2) and springs (3),
and the spring retainer (4). The number of rollers and
springs depends on what transmission and which
overrunning clutch is being dealt with.
OPERATION
Astheinnerraceisrotatedinaclockwisedirection(asviewedfromthefront of the transmission), the race causes
the rollers to roll toward the springs, causing them to compress against their retainer. The compression of the
springs increases the clearance between the rollers and cam. This increased clearance between the rollers and cam
results in a freewheeling condition. When the inner race attempts to rotate counterclockwise, the action causes the
rollers to roll in the same direction as the race, aided by the pushing of thesprings. As the rollers try to move in the
same direction as the inner race, they are wedged between the inner and outer races due to the design of the cam.
In this condition, the clutch is locked and acts as one unit.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the overdrive piston (1).
2. Remove the overdrive piston retainer bolts.
3. Remove overdrive piston retainer (4).
4. Remove case gasket.

5. Tap old cam out of case with pin punch (1). Insert
punch through bolt holes (2) at rear of case. Alter-
nate position of punch to avoid cocking cam during
removal.
6. Clean clutch cam bore and case. Be sure to
remove all chips/shavings generated during cam
removal.
CLEANING
Clean the overrunning clutch assembly, clutch cam, low-reverse drum, andoverdrive piston retainer in solvent. 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 drum if the clutch race, roller surface or inside diameter is scored, worn or damaged.Do
not remove the clutch race from the low-reverse drum under any circumstances. Replace the drum and race
as an assembly if either component is damaged.
Examine the overdrive piston retainer carefully for wear, cracks, scoring or other damage. Be sure the retainer hub
is a snug fit in the case and drum. Replace the retainer if worn or damaged.
ASSEMBLY
1. Temporarily install overdrive piston retainer in case.
Use 3-4 bolts to secure retainer.
2. Align and start new clutch cam (2) in the transmis-
sion case. Be sure serrations on cam and in case
(1) are aligned. Then tap cam into case just
enough to hold it in place.
3. Verify that cam is correctly positioned before pro-
ceeding any further. Narrow ends of cam ramps
should be to left when cam is viewed from front
end of case.

7. Hold puller plate and bolt in place and install puller
nut SP-3701 (4) on puller bolt.
8. Tighten puller nut (2) to press clutch cam into case.
Be sure cam is pressed into case evenly and does
not become cocked.
9. Remove clutch cam installer tools.
10. Stake case in 14 places around clutch cam to
help secure cam in case. Use blunt punch or
chisel to stake case.
11. Remove piston retainer from case. Cover retainer
with plastic sheeting, or paper to keep it dust free.
12. Clean case and cam thoroughly. Be sure any
chips/shavings generated during cam installation
are removed from case.
13. Install new gasket (1) at rear of transmission
case. Use petroleum jelly to hold gasket in place.
Be sure to align governor feed holes in gasket
with feed passages in case (2). Also install gasket
before overdrive piston retainer. Center hole in
gasket is smaller than retainer and cannot be
installed over retainer.

CLUTCH-REAR
DESCRIPTION
The rear clutch assembly is composed of the rear clutch retainer (1), pressure plate (8), clutch plates (12), driving
discs (9), piston (15), Belleville spring (7), and snap-rings (10). The Belleville spring acts as a lever to multiply the
force applied on to it by the apply piston. The increased apply force on the rear clutch pack, in comparison to the
front clutch pack, is needed to hold against the greater torque load imposed onto the rear pack. The rear clutch is
directly behind the front clutch and is considered a driving component.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary with each engine and vehicle combination.
OPERATION
To apply the clutch, pressure is applied between the clutch retainer and piston. The fluid pressure is provided by the
oil pump, transferred through the control valves and passageways, and enters the clutch through the hub of the
reaction shaft support. With pressure applied between the clutch retainer and piston, the piston moves away from
the clutch retainer and compresses the clutch pack. This action applies the clutch pack, allowing torque to flow
through the input shaft into the driving discs, and into the clutch plates and pressure plate that are lugged to the
clutch retainer. The waved spring is used to cushion the application of theclutch pack. The snap-ring is selective
and used to adjust clutch pack clearance.
When pressure is released from the piston, the spring returns the piston toits fully released position and disen-
gages the clutch. The release spring also helps to cushion the applicationof the clutch assembly. When the clutch
is in the process of being released by the release spring, fluid flows through a vent and one-way ball-check-valve
located in the piston. The check-valve is needed to eliminate the possibility of plate drag caused by centrifugal force
acting on the residual fluid trapped in the clutch piston retainer.

INSPECTION
Replace the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored, burned/charred, the lugs are damaged, or if the facing is flaking
off. Replace the top and bottom pressure plates if scored, warped, or cracked. Be sure the driving lugs on the
pressure and clutch plates are also in good condition. The lugs must not be bent, cracked or damaged in any way.
Replace the piston spring and wave spring if either part is distorted, warped or broken.
Check the lug grooves in the clutch retainer. The clutch and pressure plates should slide freely in the slots. Replace
the retainer if the grooves are worn or damaged. Also check action of the check balls in the retainer and piston.
Each check ball must move freely and not stick.
Replace the retainer bushing if worn, scored, or doubt exists about bushing condition.
Inspect the piston and retainer seal surfaces for nicks or scratches. Minor scratches can be removed with crocus
cloth. However, replace the piston and/or retainer if the seal surfaces are seriously scored.
Check condition of the fiber thrust washer and metal output shaft thrust washer. Replace either washer if worn or
damaged.
Check condition of the seal rings on the input shaft and clutch retainer hub. Replace the seal rings only if worn,
distorted, or damaged. The input shaft front seal ring is teflon with chamfered ends. The rear ring is metal with
interlocking ends.
Check the input shaft for wear, or damage. Replace the shaft if worn, scoredor damaged in any way.
ASSEMBLY
1. Soak clutch discs in transmission fluid while
assembling other clutch parts.
2. Install new seal rings on clutch retainer hub and
input shaft if necessary.
a. Be sure clutch hub seal ring is fully seated in
groove and is not twisted.
3. Lubricate splined end of input shaft and clutch
retainer with transmission fluid. Then partially press
input shaft (1) into retainer (2). Use a suitably sized
press tool to support retainer as close to input shaft
as possible.
4. Install input shaft retaining ring.
5. Press the input shaft the remainder of the way into
the clutch retainer.

6. Install new seals (6, 16) on clutch piston (15). Be sure lip of each seal faces interior of clutch retainer.
7. Lubricate lip of piston seals with generous quantity of Mopar
Door Ease. Then lubricate retainer (1) hub and
bore with light coat of transmission fluid.
8. Install clutch piston (15) in retainer (1). Use twisting motion to seat piston in bottom of retainer. A thin strip of
plastic (about 0.020
thick), can be used to guide seals into place if necessary.
CAUTION: Never push the clutch piston straight in. This will fold the sealsover causing leakage and clutch
slip. In addition, never use any type of metal tool to help ease the piston seals into place. Metal tools will
cut, shave, or score the seals.
