Installation Procedure
INSTALL OR CONNECT^ Tools Required:
- J 23075 Servo and Third Clutch Piston Spring Compressor
- J 38428 Servo Piston Ring Installer
- J 36850 Transjel(R) Transmission Assembly Lubricant
- J 3387-2 Converter Housing Guide Pin
1. Apply a thin coat of J 36850 to all servo components prior to assembly.
2. Servo piston adjusting screw, cushion spring, cushion spring seat, and servo piston adjusting sleeve, cushion spring seat, cushion spring and adjusting screw onto servo piston.
3. Place the servo piston in a hydraulic press and using the J 23075, compress the servo piston cushion spring until the servo piston cushion spring retainer clip can be installed.
4. Servo piston cushion spring retainer clip onto the servo piston adjusting screw.
5. Locknut onto servo piston adjusting screw.
6. Servo piston, return spring and servo apply rod into servo bore in transmission case.
7. The J 23075 in conjunction with J 38428 onto the transmission case with the offset of the J 23075 facing toward the corner of the transmission.
8. Tighten the J 23075 until the servo piston retaining ring can be installed.
9. Servo piston retaining ring into servo piston bore in transmission case.
10. Loosen the J 23075 until the J 23075 and the J 38428 can be removed from the transmission case.
Adjust
- Low servo by holding the servo piston adjusting sleeve with a standard open end wrench.
A. Loosen the locknut on the servo piston adjusting sleeve.
B. Tighten the servo piston adjusting screw to 24 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) using a torque wrench with a 5 mm (3/16 inch) hex head socket making sure the locknut remains loose.
C. Back off the servo piston adjusting screw exactly five revolutions.
D. Tighten the locknut to 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.) while holding the servo piston adjusting screw and sleeve firmly.
NOTICE: Make sure to install the check ball in the transmission case passage when installing valve body. Use a small amount of J 36850 to retain the check ball in place during valve body installation. Failure to install check ball in its correct position may result in transmission shift failure.
11. Check ball, transfer plate gaskets, transfer plate, valve body and manual detent roller onto transmission case aligning valve body with transmission case using the J 3387-2; secure with nine bolts.
- Tighten valve body bolts to 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.).
12. New servo piston cover gasket and servo piston cover onto transmission case; secure with four bolts.
- Tighten servo piston cover bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
13. Reinforcement plate onto transmission case; secure with six bolts.
- Tighten reinforcement plate bolts to 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.).
14. TCC solenoid onto reinforcement plate; secure with two bolts.
- Tighten TCC solenoid retaining bolts to 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.).
15. Electrical connector to TCC solenoid.
Inspect
- TCC solenoid pipe O-rings for cuts or other damage. Replace as necessary.
16. Apply a thin coat of J 36850 to the TCC solenoid pipe O-rings.
17. Two TCC solenoid pipes into TCC solenoid, fluid pump and valve body.
Clean
A. Transmission fluid pan and magnet using solvent and air dry.
B. Transmission fluid filter screen with solvent and air dry.
18. New fluid filter screen gasket and fluid filter screen onto valve body; secure with three bolts.
- Tighten fluid filter screen bolts to 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.).
19. New transmission fluid pan gasket and fluid pan onto transmission.
20. Lower vehicle.
21. Negative (-) battery cable.
22. Refill transmission as necessary:
A. Place vehicle on a level surface.
B. Remove fluid level indicator.
C. Add approximately 1.5 liters (1.6 qts.) of Dexron(R)-III automatic transmission fluid into fluid filler tube.
D. Install fluid level indicator into fluid filler tube.
E. Apply parking brake and block vehicle wheels.
F. With selector lever in "P" position, start engine. DO NOT race engine.
G. Run engine at idle and move selector lever through each range and return to the "P" position.
H. With engine running at idle, remove fluid level indicator from filler tube and wipe indicator off.
I. Reinsert fluid level indicator into filler tube making sure it is seated in its original position.
J. Remove the indicator and check the fluid level. The level should be between the "FULL HOT" and "LOW HOT" marks. If the level is below the "LOW HOT" mark, add fluid to bring the level to the "FULL HOT" mark. Bringing the fluid level from the "LOW HOT" mark to the "FULL HOT" mark requires 0.3 liters (0.3 qts.) of fluid. Use Dexron(R)-III automatic transmission fluid.
K. Conduct a road test and check transmission level.
