Part 2













41. Install transfer gear cover-to-case bolts (1) and torque to 20 Nm (175 in. lbs.) torque.




42. Install low/reverse clutch pack (1,2). Leave uppermost disc out until snap ring is installed.




43. Install low/reverse reaction plate flat snap ring (2).




44. Install remaining low/reverse clutch disc (1).




45. Install low/reverse reaction plate with flat side up (1).




46. Proper installation of snap ring (with tapered side up).




47. Install tapered snap ring (with tapered side up).




48. Set up Dial Indicator (1) and Indicator 6268 (2) to measure low/reverse clutch clearance. Press down on clutch pack with finger and zero dial indicator. Low/Reverse clutch pack clearance is 0.89-1.47 mm (0.035-0.058 in.). Set up Indicator (1) and record measurement in four places. Take average of readings and select the proper low/reverse reaction plate to achieve specifications.








49. Install 2/4 clutch pack (1,2).

NOTE: The 2/4 Clutch Piston has bonded seals which are not individually serviceable. Seal replacement requires replacement of the piston assembly.





50. Orient 2/4 clutch return spring (2) to retainer (1).




51. Install 2/4 clutch return spring (2) into transaxle.




52. Using Compressor 5058 (1), compress 2/4 clutch return spring just enough to install snap ring.
53. Install snap ring (3).




54. Set up Dial Indicator (1), Indicator tip 6268 (3) and Hook tool (2), measure 2/4 clutch clearance. Press down on clutch pack with finger and zero dial indicator. 2/4 clutch pack clearance is 0.76-2.64 mm (0.030-0.104 in.). Set up indicator and record measurement in four places. Take average of readings. If clearance is outside this range, the clutch is assembled improperly. There is no adjustment for 2/4 clutch clearance.




55. Install rear sun gear and #7 needle bearing (1).




NOTE: The number seven needle bearing (1) has three anti-reversal tabs and is common with the number five and number two position. The orientation should allow the bearing to seat flat against the rear sun gear. A small amount of petrolatum can be used to hold the bearing to the rear sun gear.





56. Install front carrier/rear annulus assembly (2) and #6 needle bearing (1).




57. Install front sun gear assembly (1) and #4 thrust washer (2).




58. Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness and install to input clutch assembly (1). Use petrolatum to retain.




59. Install input clutch assembly into position and verify that it is completely seated by viewing through input speed sensor hole. View through input speed sensor hole (2), if not as shown in picture, the input clutch assembly is not seated properly.




60. Remove oil pump O-ring (2). Be sure to reinstall oil pump O-ring after selecting the proper #4 thrust plate.




61. Install pump and gasket to transmission. Install oil pump-to-case bolts and tighten to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).
62. Set up input shaft for measurement with Indicator Set C-3339 (2) and End Play Socket Set 8266 (1).
63. Measure the input shaft end play with the transaxle in the vertical position. Input shaft end play must be within 0.005 to 0.025 inch. For example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select # 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick. This should provide an input shaft end play reading of 0.020 inch which is within specifications.
64. Refer to the # 4 thrust plate chart to select the proper # 4 thrust plate.








65. Install input clutch assembly (1).




66. Install #1 caged needle bearing (1).




CAUTION: The cooler bypass valve must be replaced if transaxle failure has occurred. Do not attempt to reuse or clean old valve.

67. Install cooler bypass valve (1) with O-ring end towards rear of case.




68. Install oil pump gasket (1).




69. Install oil pump assembly (1).




70. Install oil pump-to-case bolts (1) and tighten to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).




71. Install low/reverse accumulator (1).




72. Install low/reverse accumulator plug (2).




73. Install low/reverse accumulator snap ring (1).




NOTE: Depending on engine application, some accumulators will have two springs, and others will have one spring. The springs are color-coded for application and year.

74. Install underdrive (2) and overdrive (4) accumulators and springs.




75. Install valve body (1) to transaxle. Rotate manual valve shaft fully clockwise to ease installation. Make sure park rod rollers are positioned within park guide bracket.




76. Install and tighten valve body-to-case bolts (1) to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).




77. Install oil filter (1) and new O-ring (2).




78. Apply a 1/8" bead of Mopar(R) ATF RTV (MS-GF41) (2) to oil pan (1) and immediately install to case.




79. Install oil pan-to-case bolts and tighten to 19 Nm (165 in. lbs.).
80. Install solenoid/pressure switch assembly (1) and gasket (2) to case.




81. Install and tighten solenoid/pressure switch assembly-to-transaxle case bolts (1) to 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.).
82. Install and tighten input and output speed sensors to case to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).
