LIFE GUARD TIRE

The Goodyear Power Cushion Tire

(available

fit-

ted with
the
Life Guard Safety Spare
provides
a
tire within
a
tire with
two

separate
air
chambers
(Fig.

outer tire casing should
be
punctured

or otherwise damaged causing
it to go

flat,
the
Life Guard Safety Spare will

carry
the
load
of the
vehicle
and
will
allow driving
at
speeds
up to 40 mph

with good control
up to a

of

40 miles.
A

IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

Damage
to
steering linkage compo-

nents
and
front suspension struts
may

occur
if
care
is
not
exercised when
po-

sitioning
the
hoist adapters
of 2
post

hoists prior
to
lifting
the
vehicle.

If
a 2
post hoist
is
used
to
lift
the

vehicle, place
the
adapters under
the

lower arms
or
the No. 1
crossmember.

Do
not
allow
the
adapters
to
contact

steering linkage.
If the
adapters
are

placed under
the
crossmember,
a
piece

of wood (2x4x16 inches) should
be

placed
on the
hoist channel between

the adapters. This will prevent
the

adapters from damaging
the
front
sus-

pension struts.

FRONT WHEEL BEARING

The front wheel bearings should
be

adjusted
if the

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

Before removing
any of the sub-

assemblies, thoroughly clean
the out-

side
of the
transmission
to
prevent dirt

from entering
the
mechanical parts.

During
the
repair operations, refer
to

Part 7-1
for
common adjustments
and

repairs
or
cleaning
and
inspection
pro-

cedures.

During
the
transmission disassem-

bly
or
assembly operations,
ten
thrust

washers located between
the sub-

assemblies must
be
removed
and in-

stalled.
It is
important that each

thrust washer
be in the
correct posi-

tion during
the
assembly operation.

To properly locate
and
identify
the

thrust washers,
the
various positions

of
the
thrust washers
are
shown
in the

illustrations
and are
numbered
1

through
10. No. 1 is at the
first thrust

washer located
at the
front pump.
The

last thrust washer,
No. 10, is
located

at
the
parking pawl ring gear.

REPLACEMENT

During the repair of the sub-

assemblies, certain general instructions

which apply to all units of the trans-

missions must be followed. These in-

structions are given here to avoid un-

necessary repetition.

Handle all transmission parts care-

fully to avoid nicking or burring the

bearing or mating surfaces.

Lubricate all internal parts of the

transmission before assembly with

clean automatic transmission fluid. Do

not use any other lubricants except on

gaskets and thrust washers which may

be coated with vaseline to facilitate

assembly. Always install new gaskets

when assembling the transmission.

Tighten all bolts and screws to the

recommended torque as outlined in

the Specification Section.
