Part 2
ASSEMBLY
30. Using an arbor press (1) install transfer shaft bearing cup into retainer using Installer 6061(3). Use removed bearing cup to support retainer (4).
31. Install bearing cup retainer (2) to transaxle.
32. Install new transfer gear bearing cone (3) to transfer gear (4) using Installer 5052 (5).
33. TRANSFER GEAR BEARING ADJUSTMENT:
a. Install a 4.66 mm (0.183 in.) gauging shim on the transfer shaft.
b. Install transfer shaft gear using Installer 6261. Using Holder 6259, install transfer shaft gear retaining nut to 271 Nm (200 ft. lbs.).
c. Measure end play. Attach Gear Checking Plate L4432 to the transfer gear.
d. Mount a steel ball with grease into the end of the transfer shaft.
e. Push and pull the gear while rotating back and forth to ensure seating of the bearing rollers.
f. Using a dial indicator, measure transfer shaft end play.
g. Refer to the transfer shaft bearing shim chart for the required shim combination to obtain the proper bearing setting.
h. Use Holder 6259 to remove the retaining nut and washer. Remove the transfer shaft gear using Gear Puller L-4407A.
i. Remove the gauging shim and install the proper shim indicated by the chart.
TRANSFER SHAFT BEARING SHIM CHART
34. Install the transfer shaft gear (4) using Installer 6261 (2).
CAUTION: Install a NEW retaining nut, as the original nut MUST NOT be reused.
35. Install the new retaining nut and washer.
36. Using Holder 6259 (4), torque transfer gear retaining nut to 271 Nm (200 ft. lbs.).
37. Measure transfer shaft end play. Transfer shaft end play should be within 0.05-0.10 mm (0.002-0.004 in.). If the end play is too high, install a 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) thicker shim. If the end play is too low, install a 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) thinner shim. Repeat until 0.05-0.10 mm (0.002-0.004 in.) end play is obtained.
38. Install a bead of Mopar(R) ATF RTV (MS-GF41) (2) to transfer gear cover (1).
39. Use sealant on bolts (3), install transfer gear cover-to-case bolts (1) and torque to 20 Nm (175 in. lbs.) torque.
40. Install low/reverse clutch pack (1,2). Leave uppermost disc out until snap ring is installed.
41. Install low/reverse reaction plate flat snap ring (2) insure you do not scratch clutch plate (3).
42. Install remaining low/reverse clutch disc (1).
43. Install low/reverse reaction plate with flat side up (1).
44. Use as a reference while installing tapered snap ring.
45. Install tapered snap ring (with tapered side up) (2).
46. Set up dial indicator (1) 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 and record measurement in four places. Take average of readings and select the proper low/reverse reaction plate to achieve specifications.
LOW/REVERSE REACTION PLATE CHART
47. 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.
48. Orient 2/4 clutch return spring to retainer (3).
49. Install 2/4 clutch retainer to transaxle (1, 2).
50. Using Compressing Tool 5058A (1), compress 2/4 clutch return spring just enough to install snap ring (3).
51. Install snap ring.
52. Set up dial indicator (1) and 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 (4) 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.
NOTE: The number seven needle (1) bearing 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 (2).
53. Install rear sun gear (2) and #7 needle bearing (1).
54. Install front carrier/rear annulus assembly (2) and #6 needle bearing (1).
55. Install front sun gear assembly (1) and #4 thrust washer (2).
56. Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness (2) and install to input clutch assembly. Use petrolatum to retain (3).
57. Install input clutch assembly into position and verify that it is completely seated by viewing through input speed sensor hole (2). If view through input speed sensor hole is not as shown in the below view, the input clutch assembly is not seated properly.
58. Remove oil pump o-ring (2). Be sure to reinstall oil pump o-ring after selecting the proper #4 thrust plate.
59. Install pump and gasket to transmission. Install and torque bolts.
