BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
GENERAL RULES ON SERVICING BEARINGS
(1) Take extreme care when removing and in stalling
bearing cups and cones. Use only an arbor press for
installation, as a hammer may not properly align the
bearing cup or cone. Burrs or nicks on the bearing seat
will give a false end play reading, while gauging for
proper shims. Improperly seated bearing cup and cones
are subject to low-mileage failure. (2) Bearing cups and cones should be replaced if they
show signs of pitting or heat distress. If distress is seen on either the cup or bearing rollers,
both cup and cone must be replaced. Bearing end play and drag torque specifica-
tions must be maintained to avoid premature
bearing failures. Used (original) bearing may lose up to 50
of the original drag torque after break-in.
All bearing adjustments must be made with no
other component interference or gear inter-
mesh, except the transfer gear bearing. Oil all bearings before checking turning torque.OUTPUT GEAR BEARING
With output gear removed:
(1) Install a 4.50 mm (0.177 inch) gauging shim on
the rear carrier assembly hub, using grease to hold the
shim in place. (2) Install output gear and bearing assembly. Torque
to 271 N Im (200 ft. lbs.).
(3) To measure bearing end play:

Ä TRANSAXLE 21 - 141

(a) Attach Tool L-4432 to the gear.
(b) Push and pull the gear while rotating back
and forth to insure seating of the bearing rollers. (c) Using a dial indicator, mounted to the tran-
saxle case, measure output gear end play.
(4) Once bearing end play has been determined, re-
fer to the output gear bearing shim chart for the re-
quired shim to obtain proper bearing setting. (5) Use Tool 6259 to remove the retaining bolt and
washer. To remove the output gear, use Tool L-4407. (6) Remove the gauging shim and install the
proper shim. Use grease to hold the shim in place.
Install the output gear and bearing assembly.
CAUTION: Always use new retaining bolt, old re-
taining bolt may not be reused.
(7) Install the new retaining bolt and washer.
Tighten to 271 N Im (200 ft. lbs.).
(8) Using an inch-pound torque wrench, check the
turning torque. The torque should be between 3
and 8 inch-pounds. If the turning torque is too high, install a .04 mm
(.0016 inch) thicker shim. If the turning torque is too
low, install a .04 mm (.0016 inch) thinner shim. Re-
peat until the proper turning torque is 3 to 8 inch
pounds.
DIFFERENTIAL BEARING
(1) Remove the bearing cup from the differential
bearing retainer using Tool L-4518, and remove the
existing shim from under the cup. (2) Install a .50 mm (.020 inch) gauging shim and
reinstall the bearing cup into the retainer. Use an
arbor press to install the cup. Oil Baffle is not required when making shim
selection. (3) Install the bearing retainer into the case and
torque bolts to 28 N Im (250 in. lbs.).
(4) Position the transaxle assembly vertically on the
support stand and install Tool C-4995 into side gear. (5) Rotate the differential at least one full revolution
to ensure the tapered roller bearings are fully seated.
(6) Attach a dial indicator to the case and zero the
dial indicator. Place the indicator tip on the end of Tool
L-4436. (7) Place a large screwdriver to each side of the ring
gear and lift. Check the dial indicator for the amount of
end play.
CAUTION: Do not damage the transaxle case and/or
differential cover sealing surface.

shim combination to obtain the proper bearing setting. (9) Remove the differential bearing retainer. Re-
move the bearing cup and the .50 mm (.020 inch)
gauging shim. (10) Install the proper shim combination under the
bearing cup. Make sure the oil baffle is installed
properly in the bearing retainer, below the bearing
shim and cup. (11) Install the differential bearing retainer. Seal
the retainer to the housing with MOPAR tAdhesive
Sealant and torque bolts to 28 N Im (250 in. lbs.).
(12) Using Tool C-4995 and an inch-pound torque
wrench, check the turning torque of the differential.
The turning torque should be between 5 and 18
inch-pounds. If the turning torque is too high, install a .05
mm (.002 inch) thinner shim. If the turning
torque is too low, install a .05 mm (.002 inch)
thicker shim. Repeat until 5 to 18 inch-pounds
turning torque is obtained.
TRANSFER SHAFT BEARING

SIGHT GLASS REFRIGERANT LEVEL INSPECTION
The filter-drier is equipped with a sight glass (Fig.
1) that is used as a refrigerant level indicator only.
This sight glass is not to be used for A/C perfor-
mance testing. To check the refrigerant level re-
move the vehicle jack. Then clean the sight glass,
start and warm up engine, and hold rpm slightly
above idle (1100 rpm). Place the air conditioning con-
trol on A/C, RECIRC and high blower. The work
area should be at least 21ÉC (70ÉF). If a Fixed Dis-
placement type compressor does not engage, the re-
frigerant level is probably too low for the Low
Pressure Cut-Off switch to detect. Or, with a Vari-
able Displacement compressor, for the Differential
Pressure Cut-off to detect. If compressor clutch does
not engage, test the refrigerant system for leaks. If
compressor clutch engages, allow approximately one
minute for refrigerant to stabilize. View refrigerant
through sight glass. The suction line should be cold
to the touch and the sight glass should be clear.
If foam or bubbles are visible in sight glass, the re- frigerant level is probably low. Occasional foam or
bubbles are normal when the work area temperature
is above 43ÉC (110ÉF) or below 21ÉC (70ÉF). If suction
line is cold and occasional bubbles are visible in the
sight glass, block the condenser air flow. This will in-
crease the compressor discharge pressure. Do not al-
low engine to over heat. Bubbles should dissipate.
If not, the refrigerant level is low.
CAUTION: Do not allow engine to over heat while
blocking the condenser air flow.
WARNING: R-12 REFRIGERANT IS DETRIMENTAL
TO THE ENVIRONMENT WHEN RELEASED TO THE
ATMOSPHERE. DO NOT ADD R-12 REFRIGERANT
TO A SYSTEM THAT HAS A KNOWN LEAK.
The refrigerant system will not be low on (R-12)
unless there is a leak. Find and repair the leak be-
fore charging.
R-12 REFRIGERANT EQUIPMENT
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE USED
WHEN SERVICING AN AIR CONDITIONING REFRIG-
ERANT SYSTEM. TURN OFF (ROTATE CLOCKWISE)
ALL VALVES ON THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS OPERATION.
PERSONNEL INJURY CAN RESULT.
When servicing an air conditioning system, an A/C
charging station is recommended (Fig. 2). An (R-12)
refrigerant recovery/recycling device (Fig. 3) should
also be used. This device should meet SAE standards.
Contact an automotive service equipment supplier
for refrigerant recycling/recovering equipment. Refer
to the operating instructions provided with the
equipment for proper operation. A manifold gauge set (Fig. 4) must also be used in
conjunction with the charging and/or recovery/recy-
cling device. The service hoses on the gauge set be-
ing used should have manual (turn wheel) or
automatic back flow valves at the service port con-
nector ends. This will prevent refrigerant from being
release into the atmosphere.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Variable Displacement Compressor (VDC) pro-
vides maximum A/C performance under most condi-
tions. It is designed to operate continuously without
any cycling of the compressor clutch. The compressor
has a variable angle wobble plate with six axially
oriented cylinders. During vehicle A/C system operation, the compres-
sor will change its displacement to match the vehi-
cles A/C cooling demands. When the A/C system
needs more cooling capacity, the compressor will in-
crease its pumping capacity. This is done by increas-
ing the wobble plate angle to increase the piston
stroke. When the A/C system cooling demand is low,
the compressor will decrease its pumping capacity by
reducing the piston pumping stroke. The low cooling
capacity will prevent evaporator from freezing.
COMPRESSOR IDENTIFICATION
The Variable Displacement Compressor can be
identified by the location of the high pressure line. It
is mounted to the end of the compressor case (Fig. 1).
COMPRESSOR DIAGNOSIS
(1) Verify that refrigerant system is at full charge.
Refer to the Refrigerant Service Procedures section
in this Group. (2) Perform A/C Performance Test. Refer to Heater
and A/C Performance Test section in this Group. (3) If performance is not acceptable, perform ex-
pansion valve tests. Refer to Expansion Valve Tests
in this section. (4) If expansion valve test is correct, refer to the
Variable Displacement Compressor Diagnosis charts.
COMPRESSOR NOISE
Excessive noise that occurs when the air condition-
ing is being used, can be caused by:
² Loose bolts
² Mounting brackets
² Loose clutch
² Excessive high refrigerant system operating pres-
sure Verify compressor drive belt condition, proper re-
frigerant charge and head pressure before compressor
repair is performed. For noise diagnostic procedures, refer to the Com-
pressor Noise and Compressor Clutch Diagnosis
chart in this section.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH INOPERATIVE
The air conditioning compressor clutch electrical
circuit is controlled by the engine controller. The
controller is located in the engine compartment out-
board of the battery. If the compressor clutch does not engage:
Verify refrigerant charge. Refer to Refrigerant Ser-
vice Procedures in this section. If the compressor clutch still does not engage:
Check for battery voltage at the differential pres-
sure cut-off switch located on the expansion valve. If
voltage is not detected, refer to: (1) Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.

(5) Evacuate and charge the refrigerant system. If
oil loss of 3 ml (1 oz) or greater is suspected, refer to
Oil Level in the Refrigerant Service Procedures sec-
tion.
COMPRESSOR HIGH PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH
The High Pressure Cut Out (HPCO) switch is lo-
cated on the rear cover of the Variable Displacement
Compressor (Fig. 6). The function of the switch is to disengage the compressor clutch by monitoring the
compressor discharge (high) pressure. The HPCO
Switch is in the same circuit as the Differential Pres-
sure Cut Out (DPCO) switch and Ambient Switch.
DIAGNOSIS
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings before
proceeding with this operation. Connect a suitable manifold gauge set to the refrig-
erant system service ports. Work area temperature
can not be below 21ÉC (70ÉF). (1) Raise hood of vehicle.
(2) With gear selector in park or neutral, and park
brake set, start engine and allow to idle at 1300 rpm. (3) Set the A/C controls to A/C and High blower.
(6) If the high pressure gauge reads below 2963
kPa (430 psi) 6138 kPa (20 psi) the compressor
clutch should be engaged.
CAUTION: Do not allow engine to overheat when ra-
diator air flow is blocked.
(7) Block radiator air flow with a suitable cover to
increase the high side pressure to at least 3100 kPa
(450 psi). Compressor clutch should disengage. (8) Remove cover from front of vehicle to allow
high side pressure to decrease. When pressure drops
below 1826 kPa (265 psi), compressor clutch should
engage.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
(1) Using a refrigerant recovery machine, remove
the refrigerant from the A/C system.

wire lead. (3) Remove refrigerant lines from compressor (if
necessary). (4) Remove compressor attaching nuts and bolts.
(5) Remove compressor. If refrigerant lines were
not removed, lift compressor/clutch assembly and tie
it to a suitable component. To install, reverse the preceding operation. If nec-
essary, refer to Charging Refrigerant System in the
Refrigerant Service Procedures section.
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH/COIL ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH INOPERATIVE
The air conditioning compressor clutch electrical
circuit is controlled by the engine controller. The
controller is located in the engine compartment out-
board of the battery. If the compressor clutch does not engage:
Verify refrigerant charge.
If the compressor clutch still does not engage check
for battery voltage at the low pressure or differential
pressure cut-off switch located on the expansion
valve. If voltage is not detected, refer to:
² Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
² The appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
Manual for diagnostic information. If voltage is detected at the cut-off switch, recon-
nect switch. Then check for battery voltage between
the compressor clutch connector terminals. If voltage is detected, perform A/C Clutch Coil
Tests.
CLUTCH COIL TESTS
(1) Verify battery state of charge. (Test indicator
in battery should be green). (2) Connect an ammeter (0-10 ampere scale) in se-
ries with the clutch coil terminal. Use a volt meter
(0-20 volt scale) with clip leads measuring voltage
across the battery and A/C clutch. (3) With A/C control in A/C mode and blower at
low speed, start the engine and run at normal idle. (4) The A/C clutch should engage immediately and
the clutch voltage should be within two volts of the
battery voltage. If the A/C clutch does not engage,
test the fusible link. (5) The A/C clutch coil is acceptable if the current
draw is 2.0 to 3.7 amperes at 11.5-12.5 volts at clutch
coil. This is with the work area temperature at 21ÉC
(70ÉF). If voltage is more than 12.5 volts, add electri-
cal loads by turning on electrical accessories until
voltage reads below 12.5 volts. If coil current reads zero, the coil is open and
should be replaced. If the ammeter reading is 4 am-
peres or more, the coil is shorted and should be re-
placed. If the coil voltage is not within two volts of
the battery voltage, test clutch coil feed circuit for
excessive voltage drop.
