    Mountain Driving

    When driving in the mountains with either heavy

    loads or when pulling trailers, the 2 (second) or

    1

    (low)

    position should be selected on upgrades which require

    heavy throttle for 1/2 mile or more. This reduces

    possibility of overheating the transmission a nd torque

    converter under these conditions.

    Towing Vehicle

    Transmission Inoperative: Tow the vehicle with a

    rear end pickup or remove the propeller shaft.

    If

    the vehicle

    s

    to be towed for extended distances, it

    should be done with

    a

    rear end pickup or the

    propeller shaft removed. Because the transmission

    receives lubrication only when the engine is running,

    it is good practice to always tow

    a

    disabled vehicle

    with

    a rear end

    pickup or remove the propeller shaft.

    DIAGNOSIS AND TESTS

    DIAGNOSIS GENERAL

    Automatic transmission malfunctions may be

    caused by four general conditions: poor engine per-

    formance, improper adjustments, hydraulic malfunc-

    tions, and mechanical malfunctions. Diagnosis of

    these problems should always begin by checking the

    easily accessible variables: fluid level and condition,

    manual linkage adjustment, and throttle linkage ad-

    justment. Then perform a road test to determine

    whether th e problem has been corrected or tha t more

    diagnosis

    s

    necessary.

    f

    the problem exists after the

    preliminary tests and corrections are completed,

    hydraulic pressure tests should be performed.

    Fluid Level and ondition

    If a failure of any kind has contaminated the

    transmission fluid, the oil cooler and cooler tubes

    must be rever se flushed (see Oil Cooler an d Cooler

    Tubes Flushing. )

    Before removing th e dipstick, wipe al l dir t off of th e

    protective cap and top of th e filler tube.

    Since the torque converter fills more slowly in the

    P Pa rk position, place the selector lever in N

    Neutral to be sure that the fluid level check is

    accurate. The vehicle must be on level ground. The

    .engine should be runn ing a t idle speed. Th e fluid

    should be a t normal operating tempe ratu re (approxi-

    mately

    175

    F). The fluid level is correct if it is

    between the Full and Add mar ks on th e dipstick.

    Low fluid level can cause

    a

    variety of conditions

    because it allows the pump to take in air along with

    the fluid.

    As

    in any hydraulic system, air bubbles

    make th e fluid spongy, ther efor e, pressures will be

    low and build up slowly.

    Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too

    high. When the transmission has too much fluid, the

    gears churn up foam and cause the same conditions

    which occur with a low fluid level.

    In ei ther case, the ai r bubbles can cause overheat-

    ing, fluid oxidation, and varnishing, which can inter-

    fere with normal valve, clutch, and servo operation.

    Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from the

    transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a

    leak.

    Along with fluid level, it is important to check the

    condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells burned,

    and is contaminated with metal or friction material

    particles, a complete transmission overhaul is needed

    and because the t orque converter canno t.be flushed, it

    should be replaced. Be sure to examine the fluid on

    the dipstick closely. If there is any doubt about its

    condition, drain out a sample for a double check.

    After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick

    fully to seal out water an d dirt.

    OIL COOLERS AND TUBES.FLUSHING

    When a transmission or lock-up clutch failure has

    contaminate d the fluid, th e oil cooler(s) should be

    reverse flushed to insure that metal particles or

    sludged oil are not later transferred back into the

    reconditioned transmission.

    1)

    Disconnect both cooler lines a t radiat or.

    (2) Dislodge a ny foreign ma teri al a t the inlet side of

    the cooler with a small screwdriver.

    3)

    Reverse flush the cooler with a combination of

    mineral spirits and pulsating air und er pressure (shop

    air).

    4)

    Tre at the cooler lines separately and insure they

    are clear by flowing mineral spirits or automatic

    transmission fluid throu gh th em.

    5 )

    Remove leftover mineral s piri ts from cooler and

    cooler lines by flowing automatic transmission fluid

    through them.

    6 ) Cooler flow should now be checked by connect-

    pressure take-off point, located at lower left side of

    extension near the mounting flange (Fig.

    2).

    2) Operate transmission in third gear to read pres-

    sures and compare speeds shown in chart.

    If governor pressures are incorrect at the given

    vehicle speeds, the governor valve and/or weights are

    probably sticking. The governor pressure should re-

    spond smoothly to changes in mph and should return

    to 0 to 1-1/2 psi (10kPa) when vehicle is stopped. High

    pressure (above 2 psi) when vehicle is stopped will

    prevent the transmission from downshifting.

    Throttle Pressure

    No gauge port is provided for throttle pressure.

    Incorrect throttle pressure should only be suspected if

    part throttle upshift speeds are either delayed or

    occur too early in relation to vehicle speeds. Engine

    runaway on either upshifts or downshifts can also be

    an indicator of incorrect (low) thrott le pressure

    setting.

    In no case should throttle pressure be adjusted until

    the transmission throttle linkage adjustment has been

    verified to be correct.

    TORQU E CONVERTER ST LL TEST

    WARNING: DO NOT LET ANYONE STAND IN FRONT

    OF VEHICLE D URING TEST

    The stal l tes t consists of determining t he engine

    speed obtained a t full throt tle in D position only. This

    test checks the torque converter stator clutch oper-

    ation, and th e holding ability of th e transmission

    clutches. The transmission oil level should be checked

    and t he engine brought to normal operating tempera-

    ture before stall operation. Both the parking and

    service brakes must be fully applied and front

    wheels blocked while making this test

    Do not hold the throttle open any longer than is

    necessary to obtain a maximum engine speed reading,

    and never longer than five seconds at a- time.If more

    tha n one stall check is required, operate the engine at

    approximately

    1,000

    rpm in neutral for 20 seconds to

    cool the transmission fluid between runs. If engine

    speed exceeds th e maximum limits shown, release the

    accelerator immediately since transmission clutch

    slippage is indicated.

    Stall Speed Above Specification

    If sta ll speed exceeds the maximum spec :'-:

    chart by more than 200 rpm, transmission

    slippage is indicated. Follow the transmission c?i:

    sure and air pressure checks outlined in this

    sec:

    determine the cause of slippage.

    Stall Speed Below Specification

    Low stall speeds, with a properly tuned e

    indicate torque converter stator clutch probler

    road test will be necessary to identify the

    problem.

    If stall speeds are 250-350 rpm below s p e c i 5

    and the vehicle operates properly at highway

    s

    but has poor through-gear acceleration, the x

    overrunning clutch is slipping (lock-up and nor

    up torque converters).

    (1)

    Check for Source of Leakage.

    Since fluid leakage a t or around the torque con-

    verter area may originate from an engine oil leak, the

    area should be examined closely. Factory

    f i l l

    fluid is

    dyed red and, therefore, can be distinguished fro::]

    engine oil.

    2)

    Prior to removing the transmission, perform the

    following checks:

    When leakage is determined to originate from the

    transmission, check fluid level prior to removal of the

    transmission and torque converter.

    High oil level can result in oil leakage out t he vent

    located a t the top of th e front pump housing. If the

    fluid level is high, adjust to proper level.

    After performing this operation, inspect for leak-

    age. If a leak persists, perform the following operation

    on the vehicle to determine whether

    it

    is the torque

    converter or transmission that is leaking.

    Compressed-air supply must be free of all

    dirt

    7-Thro ttle Pressure Adjustment

    ured from valve body to inner edge of adjusting nut

    (Fig. 6). However, due to manufacturing tolerances,

    the adjustment can be varied to obtain specified line

    pressure.

    The adjusting screw may be turned with n Allen

    wrench. One complete turn of the adjusting screw

    changes closed throttle line pressure approximately

    1 2/3 psi. Turning adjust'ing screw counterclockwise

    increases pressure, and clockwise decreases pressure.

    Throttle Pressure

    Throttle pressures cannot be tested accurately;

    therefore, the adjustment should be measured if a

    malfunction is evident.

    1)

    Insert gauge pin of Tool C-3763 between the

    throttle lever cam and kickdown valve (Fig. 7).

    2)

    By pushing in on tool, compress kickdown valve

    against its spring so throttle valve is completely

    bottomed inside the valve body.

    3) As force is being exerted to compress spring,

    turn throttle lever stop screw with allen wrench until

    head of screw touches the throttle lever tang with

    throt tle lever cam touching tool and t he throttle valve

    bottomed. Be sure adjustment is made with spring

    fully compressed and valve bottomed in the valve

    body.

    compressed a ir. Make s ure all passages ar e clean and

    free from obstructions.

    Inspect manual and throttle valve operating levers

    and shafts for being bent worn or loose. If

    a

    lever is

    loose on its shaft the lever and shaf t assembly should

    be replaced.

    Do not attempt to straighten bent

    levers.

    Inspect lock-up solenoid assembly for cut or broken

    wire melted or distorted coil cut or nicked O-rings

    etc. Shake solenoid to verify that plunger is free to

    travel. Replace solenoid if plunger is stuck. Check

    orifice in solenoid nozzle an d drilled crosshole a t

    solenoid bore in transfer plate for dirt or foreign

    material. To check solenoid operation hold solenoid

    with nozzle pointing up and apply 12 volts between

    solenoid wire and solenoid fr ame a t screw hole.

    Plunger should travel up and down when 2 volts

    power is turned on and off.

    a

    Inspect all matin g surfaces for burrs nicks and

    scratches. Minor blemishes may be removed with

    crocus cloth using only a very light pressure. Using a

    straightedge inspect all mating surfaces for warpage

    or distortion. Slight distortion may

    be

    corrected using

    a surface plate. Make sure all metering holes in steel

    plate and valve body are open. Using a pen light

    inspect bores in valve body for scores scratches pits

    and irregularities.

    Make sure orifice referred to in iFig. 5) is open by

    inserting a 1 32 inch diameter drill through it into

    the

    1 2 shift control valve bore.

    Inspect all valve springs for distortion and collapsed

    coils. Inspect all valves and plugs for burrs nicks and

    scores. Small nicks and scores may be removed with

    crocus cloth providing extreme care is take n not to

    round off sharp edges. The sharpness of these edges is

    vitally important because it prevents foreign matter

    from lodging between valve and valve body th us

    reducing possibility of sticking. Inspect all valves and

    plugs for freedom of operation in valve body bores.

    When bores valves and plugs are clean and dry

    the valves and plugs should fall freely in the bores.

    The valve body bores do not change dimensionally

    with use. Therefore a valve body assembly that was

    functioning properly when vehicle was new will oper-

    1)Make sure combination back-up lamp/neutral

    start switch is not installed in transmission case.

    2)

    Place valve body manual lever in manual low

    position to move parking rod to rear position.

    3) Use a screwdriver to push the park sprag into

    engagement with parking gear, turni ng output shaft

    to verify engagement. This will allow knob on end

    of park ing rod to move past th e sprag as valve body is

    installed.

    (4) Install accumulator piston in the transmission

    case.

    (5) Position accumulator spring between piston and

    valve body.

    (6)

    Place valve body in position, working park rod

    through opening and past sprag. Install retaining

    bolts finger tight.

    7) With neutral starting switch installed, place

    manual lever in th e neutral position. Shift valve

    body if necessary, to center neutral finger over the

    neutr al switch plunger. Snu g bolts down evenly, th en

    tighten to 105 in. lbs. (12 N-m).

    8)

    Conned lock-up solenoid wire to wiring connec-

    tor pin a t rear of t~.ansmissioncase, if so equipped.

    (9) Install gearshift lever and tighten cl amp bolt.

    Check lever shaft for binding in the case by moving

    lever through all detent positions. If binding exists,

    loosen valve body bolts and realign.

    10)

    Make sure throttle shaft seal is in place, then

    install flat washer and throttle lever and tighten the

    clamp bolt. Connect throttl e and gearshift linkage and

    adjust as required.

    (11) Install oil pan, with a new gasket. Add trans-

    mission fluid to bring it up to proper level.

    ALUMINUM THREAD REPAIR

    Damaged or worn threads in the aluminum trans-

    mission case and valve body can be repaired by the

    use of Heli-Coils, or equivalent . Essentially; th is

    repair consists of drilling out the worn or damaged

    threads, tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil tap,

    or equivalent, and

    installing a Heli-Coil insert, or

    equivalent into the tapped hole. This brings the hole

    back to its original thread size.

    Heli-Coil, or equivalent, tools and inserts are

    readily available from most automotive parts

    suppliers.

    TRANSMISSION AND CONVERTER REMOVAL

    Remove Transfer Case (if so equipped). Refer to

    Transfer Case Removal for procedure.

    (1)- The transmission and torque converter must be

    removed as an assembly; otherwise, the torque con-

    verter drive plate. pump bushing, or oil seal may be

    damaged. The drive plate will not support a load;

    therefore, none of the weight of the transmission

    should be allowed to rest on t he

    plat,e during removal.

    2) Disconnect negative (ground) cable from th e

    battery for safety.

    3) Some models require th at th e exhaust system be

    dropped for clearance, (see Group 11).

    4) Remove engine to transmission struts, if so

    equipped.

    5)

    Remove cooler lines at Transmission.

    61 Remove sta rt er motor a nd cooler line bracket.

    7) Remove torque converter access cover.

    8) Loosen oil pan bolts, tap the pan to break it

    loose allowing fluid to drain.

    (9) Reinstall pan.

    (10) Mark torque converter and drive plate to aid in

    reassembly. The crankshaft flange bolt circle, inner

    and outer circle of holes in t he drive plate, and th e

    four tapped holes in front face of the torque converter

    all have one hole offset so these p art s will be installed

    in the original position. This maintains balance of the

    engine and torque converter.

    (11) Rotate engine clockwise with socket wrench on

    vibration dampener bolt to position the bolts attach-

    ing torque converter to drive plate, and remove bolts.

    (13) Disconnect wire connector from the back-z=

    lamp and neutr al start ing switch and lock-up sol en o~ i

    wiring connector, if so equipped.

    14) Disconnect gearshift rod and torque shafc

    assembly from transmission.

    When it is necessary to disassemble linkage rods

    from levers that use plastic grommets as retainers,

    the grommets should be replaced with new ones.

    Use

    a prying tool to force rod from grommet in lever,

    then cut away old grommet. Use pliers to snap new

    grommet into lever and rod into grommet.

    15) Disconnect throttle rod from lever at the left

    side of transmission. Remove linkage bellcrank from

    transmission, if so equipped.

    (16) Remove oil filler tube and speedometer cable.

    17) Install engine support fixture, Tool G3487-A

    with frame hooks or a suitable substitute, that will

    support rear of the engine Fig. 1 .

    (18)

    Raise transmission slightly with service jack to

    relieve load on the supports.

    19) Remove bolts securing transmission mount to

    crossmember and crossmember to frame, then remove

    crossmember.

    20) Remove all bell housing bolts.

    21) Carefully work t ransmission and torque con-

    verter assembly rearward off engine block dowels and

    disengage torque converter hub from end of crank-

    shaft. Attach a small "C" clamp to edge of bell

    housing to hold torque converter in place during

    transmission removal.

    22) Lower transmission and remove assembly f ron

    under the vehicle.
