GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The function of the starting system, composed of the

starting motor, solenoid and battery, is to crank the

engine. The battery supplies the electrical energy, the

solenoid completes the circuit to the starting motor, and

the motor then does the actual work of cranking the

engine.

The starting motor (fig. Is) consists primarily of the

drive mechanism, frame, armature, brushes, and field

windings. The starting motor is a pad mounted 12-volt

extruded frame type, having four pole shoes and four
fields,
connected with the armature. The aluminum drive

end housing is extended to enclose the entire shift lever

and plunger mechanism, protecting them from dirt,

splash, and icing. The flange mounted solenoid switch

operates the overrunning clutch drive by means of a

linkage to the shaft lever.

The V-8 wiring harness differs from the in-line engine

in that the ignition lead to the coil from the switch is at-

tached at the coil instead of at the starter solenoid (fig.

2s).

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

No periodic lubrication of the starting motor or sole-

noid is required. Since the starting motor and brushes

cannot be inspected without disassembling the unit, no.

service is required on these units between overhaul

periods.

RESISTANCE CHECKS

Although the starting motor cannot be checked against
specifications on the car, a check can be made for. exces-

sive resistance in the starting circuit. Place a volt-

meter across points in the cranking circuit as outlined

below and observe the reading with the starting switch

closed and the motor cranking (distributor primary lead

grounded to prevent engine firing).

Specifications and checking procedures for this relay

are as follows:

Specifications

Air Gap Oil inch minimum

Point Opening .025 inch

Closing Voltage
8.3-10.2
volts

Armature Sealing Voltage. ..... 11.2 volts maximum

Three checks and adjustments are required on the

overdrive relay; air gap, point opening and closing volt-

age.
The air gap contact point opening checks and adjust-

ments should be made with the battery disconnected.

Air Gap

The air gap should not normally require adjustment

unless the relay has been misadjusted. Check the air gap

with the points barely touching and adjust if necessary by

bending the lower point support (fig, IB).

Point Opening

Check the contact point opening and adjust by bending

the upper armature stop (fig. 2B).

Closing Voltage

To check the relay closing voltage, connect a potenti-

ometer or variable resistance of sufficient value (not less

than 50 ohms) in series with the "KD" terminal, connect a

voltmeter to the "IGN" and "KD" terminals. With the

ignition switch on, slowly decrease the amount of resist-

ance in order to check the relay closing voltage (the

overdrive solenoid and relay should click when the relay

closes). Adjust the closing voltage by bending the arma-

ture spring post (fig. 3B). Bend down to increase the

closing voltage and bend up to decrease the closing

voltage.

To check the sealing voltage, increase the voltage after

the relay closes until the armature seals against the

core.
Decrease the sealing voltage by reducing the relay

air gap.

Solenoid

Closing Coil

Remove solenoid from transmission, connect a jumper

wire between negative terminal of battery and mounting

flange of solenoid. Connect a second jumper wire be-

tween the battery positive terminal and solenoid terminal

No.
4; this should cause the solenoid pawl to move out.

If solenoid chatters, Hold-In Coil is defective.

Engaging Spring

With jumper wire connected as in paragraph above,

(solenoid energized, plunger extended) place ball end of

solenoid against bench. Push down on solenoid. The

pawl rod should move in 3/8M under a load of not less

than 8 lbs. nor more than 12. Pawl should move out to

extended position when load is removed.

Ignition Grounding Contact

Place a test lamp between negative battery terminal

and solenoid terminal No. 6. Lamp should light when this

connection is made. Remove jumper from between nega-

tive battery terminal and solenoid terminal No. 4. Pawl

rod should snap "in" and test lamp should go out.

Governor Switch

Remove overdrive wire at governor and connect test

lamp between governor overdrive terminal and positive

terminal of battery. Drive car on road or raise on jacks.

The lamp should light at a car speed of between 26 to 30

MPH. Upon decreasing speed, the lamp should go out at

between 28 and 23.5 MPH. The car speed differential

between light "on" and light "off" should be 2 or 3 MPH.

Kickdown Switch

Disconnect the 4 wires at kickdown switch.

1.
Connect test lamp between "SW" terminal and posi-

tive terminal of battery; with switch in normal posi-

tion, lamp should light when "REL" terminal is

grounded but should not light when "IGN" or "SOL"

terminals or switch case is grounded.

2.
Connect test lamp between "IGN" terminal and posi-

tive terminal of battery; with switch stem pushed in,

lamp should light when "SOL" terminal is grounded,

but should not light when "SW" or "REL" terminals

or switch case is grounded.

ELECTRICAL

Any one of the following general complaints may be due

to electrical trouble in the overdrive circuit.

1.
Does not engage.

2.
Does not release.

3.
Does not kickdown from overdrive.

These troubles may be traced and remedied as de-

scribed in the following paragraphs.

1.
Does not engage

a. With the ignition switch on, ground the "KD" ter-

minal of the solenoid relay with a jumper lead.

If the solenoid clicks, the relay and solenoid cir-

cuits are in operating condition. If no click is

heard in the relay, check the fuse and replace if

defective.

b.
If the fuse is good, use a second jumper lead to

connect the "SOL" and "BAT" terminals of the

relay. If a click is now heard in the solenoid, the

relay is probably at fault and should be repaired

or replaced.

c. If the solenoid does not click in Step b, check the

wiring to the No. 4 terminal of the solenoid and

replace if necessary. If the wiring is not defec-

tive,
the trouble is probably in the solenoid. Re-

move the solenoid cover, examine the solenoid

contacts in series with the pull-in winding and

clean if necessary. Test again for clicks, as in

Step b, after replacing solenoid cover and lead

wires.
Replace the solenoid if trouble has not

been corrected.

d. If the relay and solenoid circuits are in good con-

dition as determined in Step a, leave the ignition

switch on and make sure the manual control knob

is in the overdrive position. Ground one and then

the other of the two terminals next to the stem of

the kickdown switch (identified as "SW" and
?fREL"). K the solenoid clicks when one terminal

is grounded but not the other, replace the switch.

If the solenoid does not click when either of the

terminals is grounded, check the wiring between

the relay and the kickdown switch and replace if

defective.

e. If the solenoid clicks as each terminal is grounded

in Step d, ground the governor switch terminal.

If the solenoid clicks, the governor switch may be

defective. If the solenoid does not click, check

the wiring between the kickdown and governor

switches and replace if necessary.

2.
Does not release

a. Remove the connection to the "KD" terminal of

the relay. If this release overdrive, look for a

grounded control circuit between the relay and

governor switch.

b.
If the overdrive is not released in Step a, dis-

connect the lead to the "SOL" terminal of relay.

If this releases the overdrive, replace the relay.

3.
Does not kickdown from overdrive

a. With the engine running, connect a jumper lead

between the No. 6 terminal of the solenoid and

ground. Operate the kickdown switch by hand.

This should stop the engine. If it does, the sole-

noid is probably defective and it should be checked

for dirty ground-out contacts or other defects

within the ground-out circuit of the solenoid (fig.

4B).
Clean the contacts or replace the contact

plate as required.

b.
If the engine does not stop in Step a, ground one

and then the other of the two terminals (Identified

as "IGN" and "SOL") farthest from the sfem of

the kickdown switch. The engine should stop when

one of the two terminals (IGN) is grounded. If

the engine does not stop when the terminal is

grounded, the wiring or connections to the switch

between the switch and coil are defective. When

the btlier terminal (SOL) is grounded, the engine

should stop when the kickdown switch is operated.

If the engine does not stop when the kickdown

switch is operated with the second terminal

grounded, the kickdown switch is defective. If

the trouble is in the kickdown switch, adjust the

linkage to give more travel of the switch rod.

If this does not correct the trouble, replace the

kickdown switch.

If the kickdown switch operates as it should,

check for an open circuit in the wiring between

the kickdown switch and the No. 6 terminal of the

solenoid.

c. If the trouble is not located by the above checks,

the upper contacts of the kickdown switch may not

be opening. To check for this condition, ground

the overdrive control circuit at the governor

switch. This should cause the solenoid to click.

Operate the kickdown switch by hand. This should

cause a second click as the solenoid releases.

If there is no second click, adjust the linkage to

give more travel of the switch rod. If this does

not correct the trouble, replace the kickdown

switch.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The case
and
converter housing
of the two
speed alumi-

num Powerglide Transmission
is a
single case aluminum

unit. When
the
manual control
is
placed
in the
drive
po-

sition,
the
transmission automatically shifts
to low
gear

for initial vehicle movement.
As the car
gains speed
and

depending
on
load
and
throttle position,
an
automatic shift

is made
to
high gear.
A
forced downshift feature
pro-

vides
a
passing gear
by
returning
the
transmission
to low

range.

The
oil
pump assembly
is a
conventional gear type
and

the
oil
pump housing
is of the
large diameter type acting

as
the
front bulkhead
of the
transmission.
The
torque

converter
is a
conventional three element welded design

bolted
to the
engine flywheel which drives through
a
two-

speed planetary gearset.
The
high clutch assembly
is

typical
of the
designs used
in
this type transmission.
The

aluminum Powerglide uses
an
output shaft mounted
gov-
ernor which requires
a
hole through
the
output shaft.
The

reverse clutch assembly
is a
multiple disc type clutch.

The steel plates
are
splined directly
to the
case while
the

face plates
are
splined
to the
internal
or
ring gear.
The

clutch piston operates within
the
rear portion
of the
case.

The internal diameter
of the
pistoh
is
sealed to
an
integral

hub portion
of the
case rear bulkhead.
The
outside
dia-

meter
is
sealed
to a
machined portion
of the
case.
The

piston
is
hydraulically applied
and is
released
by
separate

coil springs.
The
valve body assembly
is
bolted
to the

bottom
of the
transmission case
and is
accessible
for

service
by
removing
the oil pan
assembly.
The
valve

body consists
of an
upper
and
lower body located
on
either

side
of a
transfer plate.
The

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Type "C" two speed electric wiper assembly (fig.

74) incorporates a depressed park type (blades park

against windshield lower molding when the motor is

turned off) motor and gear train. The wiper has a com-

pound wound 12 volt motor and a gear box section con-

taining the gear mechanism and relay control. The motor

armature is fitted with a worm gear which drives the

main gear assembly and crank arm.

The relay control, consisting of a relay coil, relay

armature and switch assembly, is located in the gear box
section bid controls the starting and stopping of the wiper

through a latching mechanism (fig. 75).

An electric washer pump is mounted on the gear box

section of the wiper and is driven by the wiper unit gear

assembly (fig* 75).

The overhaul procedures for the wiper are broken down

into three major areas: The motor section, gear box

section and washer pump section. Each section maybe

serviced independently of the other.
