only when the transmission has been

removed from the vehicle, or when all

available internal adjustment has been

taken up and a further band adjust-

ment is required.

Internal Band Adjustment

1.
Drain the fluid from the trans-

mission. If the same fluid is to be

used again in the transmission after

the band adjustment, filter the fluid

through a 100-mesh screen as it drains

from the transmission. Re-use the

fluid only if it is in good condition.

2.
Remove and thoroughly clean

the pan and filter. Discard the pan

gasket.

3.
Loosen the rear servo adjusting

screw lock nut.

4.
Pull the adjusting screw end of

the actuating lever away from the

servo body, and insert the spacer tool

shown in Fig. 14 between the servo

accumulator piston and the adjusting

screw.
Be
sure
the
flat
surfaces
of the

tool
are
positioned
squarely
between

the
adjusting
screw
and the
accumula-

tor
piston.
The
tool must
not
touch

piston
and the

handle

must
not
touch

5.
Using a torque wrench with an

Allen head socket (Fig. 14), tighten

the adjusting screw to 24 in-lbs tor-

que.

6. Back off the adjusting screw

1-1/2 turns. Hold the adjusting screw

stationary and tighten the adjusting

screw lock nut sequrely. Remove the

spacer tool.

7.
Install the transmission fluid fil-

ter and clip. Install the pan using a

new gasket.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

An oil impregnated plastic grommet

is incorporated in the end of the man-

ual shift linkage lever arm on all col-

umn shift vehicles. A special tool

T67P-7341-A is required to install the

grommet in the manual lever, and to

install the manual linkage rod into the

grommet. Refer to Part 7-1, Section

2,
for the grommet replacement pro-

cedures.

TRANSMISSION AND

CONVERTER REPLACEMENT—

FORD-METEOR

REMOVAL

1.
Drive the vehicle on a hoist, but

do not raise at this time.

2.
Remove the two upper bolts and

lock washers which attach the con-

verter housing to the engine.

3.
Raise the vehicle and remove the

cover from the lower front side of the

converter housing. Drain the fluid

from the transmission.

4.
Remove one of the converter

drain plugs. Then rotate the converter

180 degrees and remove the other

plug. Do not attempt to turn the con-

verter with a wrench on the converter

stud nuts. If desired, the converter

may be drained after the unit has been

removed from the vehicle.

5.
Disconnect the fluid filler tube

from the transmission case. Discon-

nect the vacuum hose from the vacu-

um diaphragm unit and the tube from

the extension housing clip.

6. When the fluid has stopped

draining from the transmission and

converter, remove the flywheel to con-

verter nuts and flat washers. Install

the drain plugs in the converter and

torque to specifications. Install the

converter housing front plate to hold

the converter in place when the trans-

mission is removed.

7.
Disconnect the starter cables

from the starter and remove the start-

er.

8. Disconnect the oil cooler lines

from the transmission. Remove the

transmission vent tube.

9. Disconnect the downshift linkage

from the transmission.

10.
Disconnect the selector rod from

the transmission manual lever with

T67P-7341-A.

11.
Disconnect the speedometer

cable from the extension housing, and

remove the driveshaft.
12.
Support the transmission on a

stand. Remove the engine rear support

to transmission bolts, and raise the

transmission slightly to take the

weight off the cross member. Remove

the cross member. Support the rear

part of the engine.

13.
Remove the remaining convert-

er housing to engine attaching bolts.

Move the assembly to the rear and

down to remove it.

INSTALLATION

1.
If the converter has been re-

moved from the converter housing,

carefully position the converter in the

housing, and then install the housing

lower front cover plate to prevent the

converter from slipping out of the

housing.

2.
Install the transmission vent

tube.
Rotate the converter until the

studs adjacent to the drain plugs are

in a vertical position.

3.
Rotate the flywheel as required

to align the drain plug holes with the

drain plugs in the converter. With the

transmission mounted on a support

stand, move the converter and trans-

mission assembly forward into posi-

tion, using care not to damage the fly-

wheel and the converter pilot.

4.
Install the converter lower

housing-to-engine bolts, then torque

the bolts to specification.

5.
Install the cross member.

6. Lower the transmission until the

extension housing rests on the cross

member, and then install the extension

housing-to-cross member bolts.

7.
The converter must rest squarely

against the flywheel. This indicates

that the converter pilot is not binding

in the engine crankshaft.

8. Install the converter attaching

nuts and flat washers. Install the ac-

cess plates.

9. Connect the oil cooler inlet and

outlet lines to the transmission case.

10.
Coat the front universal joint

yoke seal and spline with B8A-

19589-A lubricant, and install the

drive shaft.

11.
Connect the speedometer cable

at the transmission.

12.
Using tool T67P-7341-A install

a new grommet in the manual lever.

Then secure the manual selector rod

to the lever.

13.
Connect the downshift linkage

and bushing at the transmission

throttle lever.
14.
Install the starter motor.

15.
Connect the fluid filter tube to

the transmission case. Connect the

vacuum hose to the vacuum dia-

phragm unit and the tube to its clip.

16.
Lower the transmission support

stand. Then install the upper two con-

verter housing-to-engine bolts and

tighten them to specification.

17.
Lower the vehicle and fill the

transmission with transmission fluid,

following the recommended procedure.

18.
Check the transmission, con-

verter assembly, and fluid cooler lines

for fluid leaks, and then adjust the

manual and downshift linkages.

TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT

WITHOUT CONVERTER—

FORD-METEOR

The frame construction of the con-

vertible will not permit the transmis-

sion to be moved rearward enough to

clear the turbine shaft from the con-

verter. For this reason, the converter

and transmission must be removed as

a unit from this model.

REMOVAL

1.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist.

2.
Drain the fluid from the trans-

mission.

3.
Disconnect the hose from the

vacuum diaphragm unit and the tube

from its clip. Disconnect the fluid fill-

er tube from the case.

4.
Remove the cover from the lower

front side of the converter housing.

5.
Remove one of the converter

drain plugs. Then rotate the converter

180 degrees and remove the other

plug. Do not attempt to turn the con-

verter with a wrench on the converter

stud nuts.

6. Disconnect the drive shaft from

the rear axle, and remove the drive

shaft.

7.
Disconnect the fluid cooler lines

from the transmission. Remove the

vent tube.

8. Disconnect the downshift linkage

at the transmission.

9. Disconnect the selector rod from

the transmission manual lever with

tool T67P-7341-A.

10.
Disconnect the speedometer

cable at the extension housing.

11.
Remove the two engine rear

support to transmission bolts.

12.
Position a transmission jack

under the transmission and raise it

slightly to take the weight off the

cross member.procarmanuals.com
