T350 - Manual Transmission

ASSEMBLY
The NV T350 (A-578) transaxle internal components can be serviced only by separating the gear case from the bellhousing case.

CAUTION: The transaxle output shaft is serviced as a unit. No disassembly and reassembly is possible. Damage to the transaxle may result.

NOTE: The sealant used to seal the transaxle case halves is Mopar Gasket Maker, Loctite 518, or equivalent. The sealant used for the bearing end plate cover is Mopar RTV.





1. Verify bench fixture shims are removed from bench fixture. Install output and input shafts into bench fixture (Miller tool #6785) (Fig. 44).





2. Install shift rails and forks into bench fixture (Fig. 45).





3. Install shift blocker assembly into bench fixture (Fig. 46).





4. Install reverse brake race onto input shaft (Fig. 47).





5. Install reverse brake needle bearing (Fig. 48).





6. Install reverse brake blocking ring (Fig. 49).





7. Install reverse brake friction cone (Fig. 50).





8. Install reverse brake shim (Fig. 51). Apply petroleum jelly to shim to hold in place.





9. Install gear-case half over bench fixture (Fig. 52). Line up shift finger over 3-4 lug.





10. Line up reverse brake friction cone lugs to the slots in the gear case (Fig. 53). Verify reverse brake shim is in position.





11. Position input and output bearings on the shafts. Using Miller tool C-4992-1, press on input and output shaft bearings until they bottom into the case and against the shafts (Fig. 54).





12. Install shaft snap rings at input and output bearings (Fig. 55).





13. Apply Mopar RTV sealant to end-cover outer edge and around bolt holes. Install end-cover onto gear case. Tighten end cover bolts to 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 56).
14. Remove gear case from bench fixture.
15. Install gear case in a holding fixture with end cover facing down.





16. Turn selector shaft into slot on blocker assembly (Fig. 57).
17. Push selector shaft spacer clip onto selector shaft. Install shift levers.





18. Install reverse idler gear and spacer as shown in (Fig. 58).





19. Install reverse idler shaft (Fig. 59).





20. Install bolt into shaft and tighten to 26 Nm (19 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 60).








21. Install reverse fork bracket and reverse lockout. Tighten screws to 11 Nm (96 inch lbs.) torque (Fig. 61) (Fig. 62).





22. Install differential into gear case (Fig. 63).
