gasket. Withdraw the fluid with a suc-

tion gun.

2.
Remove the reservoir bracket-

to-cylinder block upper cap screw and

the lower cap screw and spacer.

3.
Disconnect the reservoir infet line

and the outlet line at the reservoir,

and remove the reservoir.

Installation

1.
Connect the reservoir-to-pump

line (outlet line) at the reservoir, but

do not tighten the clamp.

2.
Attach the reservoir and bracket

to the cylinder block with the upper

cap screw and the lower cap screw

and spacer. Tighten the cap screws.

3.
Tighten the outlet line clamp at

the reservoir. Connect the reservoir

inlet line to the reservoir.

4.
Fill the reservoir with the speci-

fied automatic transmission fluid. Run

the engine, and bleed the system by

cycling the steering gear with the

windshield wipers turned on. Check

for leaks, and recheck the fluid level.
WITH AIR CONDITIONING

Removal

1. Raise the front of the vehicle.

Remove the reservoir-to-pump line

(outlet line) clamp at the reservoir,

but do not disconnect the line at this

time.

2.

the cylinder block upper cap screw.

Support the reservoir and remove the

lower cap screw and spacer.

4.
With a drain pan under the res-

ervoir, disconnect the outlet line hose

from the reservoir tube and allow the

fluid to drain.

5.
Remove the reservoir cover re-

taining nut and the cover. Position the

cover and the reservoir out of the way

and allow them to rest in the engine

compartment.

6. Lower the front of the vehicle.

Remove the fan shroud.

7.
Remove the reservoir and the
cover by manipulating them through

the opening between the radiator and

the compressor drive belt.

Installation

1.
Position the reservoir in the en-

gine compartment. Loosely attach the

reservoir and bracket to the cylinder

block with the upper cap screw.

2.
Install the fan shroud, then raise

the front of the vehicle.

3.
Connect the reservoir-to-pump

line (outlet line) at the reservoir.

4.
Install the reservoir bracket-

to-cylinder block lower cap screw and

spacer. Tighten both the upper and

the lower cap screws.

5.
Connect the reservoir inlet line at

the reservoir. Install the clamps on

both lines. Lower the car, and install

the reservoir cover and attaching nut.

6. Fill the reservoir with the speci-

fied automatic transmission fluid. Run

the engine, and bleed the system by

cycling the steering gear with the

windshield wipers turned on. Check

for leaks, and recheck the fluid level.

taching bolts to the proper torque. If

necessary, replace the gasket.

Check the fluid filler tube connec-

tion at the transmission case or pan.

If leakage is found here, install a new

O-ring or tighten the fitting to the

specified torque.

Check the fluid lines and fittings

between the transmission and the

cooler in the radiator tank for loose-

ness,
wear, or damage. If leakage can-

not be stopped by tightening a fitting,

replace the damaged parts.

Check the engine coolant in the ra-

diator. If transmission fluid is present

in the coolant, the cooler in the radia-

tor is probably leaking.

The cooler can be further checked

for leaks by disconnecting the lines

from the cooler fittings and applying

50-75 psi air pressure to the fittings.

Remove the radiator cap to relieve the

pressure build at the exterior of the oil

cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking

and will not hold this pressure the

cooler must be replaced. Cooler re-

placement is described in the Cooling

System Section of Group 11.

If leakage is found at either the

downshift control lever shaft or the

manual lever shaft, replace either or

both seals.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left

side of the transmission case at the

front. If the plug shows leakage, tor-

que the plug to specifications. If tight-

ening does not stop the leaks, replace

the plug. On a C6 transmission, a TV

pressure plug is also provided on the

right rear side of the case.

When converter drain plugs leak,

remove drain plugs with a six-point

wrench. Coat the threads with FoMo-

Co Perfect Seal Sealing Compound or

its equivalent, and install the plugs.

Torque the drain plugs to specifica-

tion. Fluid leakage from the converter

housing may be caused by engine oil

leaking past the rear main bearing or

from oil gallery plugs, or power steer-

ing oil leakage from steering system.

Be sure to determine the exact cause

of the leak before repair procedures

are started.

Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes

premixed at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon

of dye powder to 1/2 pint of transmis-

sion fluid have proved helpful in locat-

ing the source of the fluid leakage.

Such dyes may be used to determine

whether an engine oil or transmission

fluid leak is present or if the fluid in

the oil cooler leaks into the engine

coolant system. A black light, how-

ever, must be used with the fluorescent

dye solution.

FIG. 2—Converter Leak Checking Tool

CONVERTER LEAKAGE

CHECK

If there are indications that the

welds on the torque converter are

leaking, the converter will have to be

removed and the following check

made before the unit is replaced.

A leak checking tool (Fig. 2) can be

made from standard parts. The tool

can be used to check all converters.

1.
Install the plug in the converter

(Fig. 3) and expand it by tightening

the wing nut. Attach the safety chains.

2.
Install the air valve in one of the

drain plug holes.

3.
Introduce air pressure into the

converter. Check the pressure with a

tire gauge and adjust it to 20 psi.

4.
Place the converter in a tank of

water. Observe the weld areas for

bubbles. If no bubbles are observed, it

may be assumed that the welds are

not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK

Check and, if necessary, adjust the

engine idle speed, using the procedure

given in Group 10.

If the idle speed is too low, the en-

gine will run roughly. An idle speed

that is too high will cause the vehicle

to creep, have harsh engagements and

harsh closed-throttle downshifts.
ANTI-STALL DASHPOT

CLEARANCE CHECK

After the engine idle speed has been

properly adjusted, check the anti-stall

dashpot clearance. Follow the proce-

dure given in Group 10 for checking

and adjusting this clearance.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS

Correct manual linkage adjustment

is necessary to position the manual

valve for proper fluid pressure direc-

tion to the different transmission com-

ponents. Improperly adjusted manual
