77. Install the snap ring (1) into the oil pump.






CAUTION: Be sure to align the pawl of the thrust washer with the alignment hole of the oil pump cover. Apply Vaseline or assembly lube when installing the thrust washer.

78. Install the thrust washer (1) onto the oil pump cover.






CAUTION: When necessary to replace any of the driven sprocket, oil pump chain, or drive sprocket, replace all components as a matched set. Pull the driven sprocket up softly and check that the driven sprocket is securely installed.

79. Expand the snap ring (1).
80. Install the driven sprocket, oil pump chain (2) and drive sprocket (3).





81. The required clearance for the oil pump drive sprocket is 0.10-0.23 mm (0.004-0.009 in.). Measure the clearance (1) between the oil pump drive sprocket (4) and the converter housing (5) in the following procedure:






NOTE: Gauge Bar 6311 can be used for doing the following measurement.

82. Measure the distance (1-2) from the edge of the transaxle case to the select shim installation surface of the drive sprocket. This is the oil pump drive sprocket measurement one.






NOTE: Gauge Bar 6311 can be used for doing the following measurement.

83. Measure the distance (1-2) from the edge of the converter housing to the surface touching the select shim contact surface. This is the oil pump drive sprocket measurement two.
84. Calculate the thickness of the required select shim with the following formula: The select shim is equal to the oil pump drive sprocket measurement one, plus the oil pump drive sprocket measurement two, minus 0.16 mm (0.0065 in.).





85. Install the chosen select shim (1) onto the drive sprocket.





86. Install the baffle plate (1) over the oil pump driven sprocket. Install and tighten the mounting nut to 6 Nm (52 in. lbs.).






CAUTION: Do not re-use the o-ring. Apply CVT fluid when installing the o-ring.

88. Install the differential assembly (1) into the transaxle case.





89. Install the reduction gear assembly (1) into the transaxle case.






CAUTION: Do not re-use the converter housing oil seal (1). Apply CVT fluid when installing the converter housing oil seal (1).

90. Install the converter housing oil seal (1) into the converter housing with Installer 9858.





91. Apply MOPAR gasket sealer (1) on the converter housing installation surface of the transaxle case.

CAUTION: Remove moisture, oil, and used sealant from the sealant application surface. Make sure that the starting point and the ending point are between two bolt holes.






92. Install the converter housing on the transaxle case and tighten the bolts to 45 Nm (33 ft. lbs.).





93. Install the transmission range sensor (TRS) (1) over the manual shaft and onto the transaxle case.
