(55) Remove planetary and brake drum thrust
bearing and race assembly (Fig. 46).
(56) Remove second brake drum gasket from case
with gasket scraper or screwdriver (Fig. 47). Retain
tube shaped gasket if condition is OK.
(57) Measure inside diameter of transmission case
rear bushing with bore gauge or inside micrometer
(Fig. 48). Maximum allowable diameter is 38.18 mm
(1.5031 in.).Replace transmission case if bush-
ing I.D. is greater than specified. Bushing is not
serviceable.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean the transmission components with solvent
and dry them with compressed air only. Do not use
shop towels or rags.
Blow compressed air through all oil feed passages
and channels to be sure they are clear. Inspect the
transmission components for wear and damage. Re-
place components that are damaged or worn beyond
the limits specified in the individual overhaul proce-
dures.
Replace all O-rings, gaskets and seals. These com-
ponents are not reusable. Also replace any snap ring
that is distorted or damaged.
During overhaul assembly operations, lubricate the
transmission components with Jeep or Mopar Mer-
conŸ automatic transmission fluid or petroleum jelly
as indicated. Petroleum jelly should be used to prelu-
bricate thrust bearings, washers and races. It can
also be used to hold parts in position during assem-
bly.
Soak replacement clutch and brake pack com-
ponents in transmission fluid for at least 30
minutes before installation.Fig. 46 Removing Planetary And Brake Drum Thrust

greater than specified.
(7) Measure oil pump clearances (Fig. 3).
²Clearance between pump driven gear and pump
body should be maximum of 0.3 mm (0.012 in).
²Clearance between tips of pump gear teeth should
be maximum of 0.3 mm (0.012 in).
²
Clearance between rear surface of pump housing and
pump gears should be maximum of 0.1 mm (0.004 in.).
(8) Replace pump body and gears if any clearance
is greater than specified.
(9) Remove old pump seal. Install new seal with
Seal Installer 7549 (Fig. 4).
(10) Lubricate and install gears in pump body.
(11) Assemble stator shaft and pump body. Tighten
shaft-to-body bolts to 10 Nzm (7 ft. lbs.) torque.
(12) Install new O-ring on pump body and new
seal rings on stator shaft.

(13) Install pump in torque converter and check
pump gear rotation. Gears must rotate smoothly
when turned clockwise and counterclockwise.
(14) Lubricate pump O-ring and seal rings with pe-
troleum jelly.
OVERDRIVE PLANETARY GEAR AND CLUTCH
OVERHAUL
GEAR AND CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY
(1) Check operation of one-way clutch in clutch
drum. Hold drum and turn planetary shaft clockwise
and counterclockwise. Shaft should turn clockwise
freely but lock when turned counterclockwise. Re-
place one-way clutch if necessary.(2) Replace overdrive brake clutch pack if discs are
worn below thickness of 1.84 mm (0.0724 in.). This is
clutch pack that fits on clutch drum and in case.

(3) Remove overdrive clutch from planetary gear
(Fig. 3).(4) Remove thrust bearing and race assembly from
clutch drum (Fig. 4).
(5) Measure stroke length of clutch piston as fol-
lows:
(a) Mount oil pump on torque converter. Then
mount clutch on oil pump (Fig. 5).
