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

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).
If stall speed and acceleration are norm<
abnormally high throttle opening is required to

Both of these stator defects require replaceme

Noise
whining or siren-like noise due to fluid f
normal during stall operation with some torque
verters; however, loud metallic noises from loose
or interference within the 'assembly indicate a

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

Pressurize the transmission using Tool C-4080
until the pressure gauge reads 8 psi. Position trans-
mission so that pump housing and case front may be
covered with soapy solution or water. Leaks are some-
times caused by porosity in the case or pump housing.

If a leak source is located, th at par t and all associ-
ated seals and gaskets should be replaced with new

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.

Inspection
Allow all parts to soak a few minutes in
a
suitable
clean solvent. Wash thoroughly and blow dry with
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-

PISTON INSTALLATION
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.
