LUBRICATION 0-15
CRANKCASE VENTILATION VALVE
VALVE TYPE
NOTE: Under prolonged dusty driving condi-
tions,
it is recommended that these operations
be performed more often. Every 12,000 miles
or 12 months the valve should be replaced.
Connecting hoses, fittings, flame arrestor and
crankcase breather cap (where used) should be
cleaned. At every oil change the system should
be tested for proper function and serviced, if
necessary.
FUEL FILTER
Replace filter element located in carburetor inlet if
flooding occurs, if engine surges during constant speed
operation (pulsating effect) or if poor performance is
experienced during acceleration or at higher speeds.
AIR CLEANER
NOTE: Under prolonged dusty driving condi-
tions,
it is recommended that these operations
be performed more often.
POLYURETHANE TYPE-
Every 12,000 miles clean element in solvent, squeeze
out solvent, then soak in engine oil and squeeze out
excess.
OIL WETTED PAPER ELEMENT TYPE-
First 12,000 miles inspect or test element; if satis-
factory, re-use element but recheck every 6,000 miles
until replaced. Element must not be washed, oiled,
tapped or cleaned with an air hose.
BATTERY TERMINAL WASHERS
Battery terminals have felt washers between top of
case and cable connections to minimize corrosive action
of battery acid. These felt washers should be saturated
with engine oil every 6,000 miles.
DISTRIBUTOR
4 and 6-Cylinder Engine—Remove distributor cap and
rotate lubricator 1/2 turn at 12,000 mile intervals. Re-
place at 24,000 mile intervals.
8-Cylinder Engine—Change cam lubricator end for end
at 12,000 mile intervals. Replace at 24,000 mile
intervals.
REAR AXLE AND 3-SPEED AND
OVERDRIVE, 4-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS
The passenger car operates under the most severe
lubrication conditions at high speed and requires a hypoid
lubricant which will meet this condition.
Recommended Lubricants
Standard Rear Axles—SAE 90 "Multi-Purpose" gear
lubricant.
Positraction Rear Axles—Use special Positraction
lubricant.
CAUTION: Straight Mineral Oil gear lubricants
must not be used in hypoid rear axles.
Transmissions—SAE 90 "Multi-Purpose" gear
lubricant.
The SAE 90 viscosity grade is recommended for year
round use. However, when extremely low temperatures
are encountered for protracted periods during the winter
months, the SAE 80 viscosity grade may be used.
"Multi-Purpose" Gear Lubricants
Gear lubricants that will satisfactorily lubricate hypoid
rear axles have been developed and are commonly re-
ferred to as ' 'Multi-Purpose" gear lubricants meeting
U.S.
Army Ord. Spec. MIL-L-2105B.
These lubricants can also be satisfactorily used in
manual transmissions.
CAUTION: With Positraction rear axles use
special Positraction lubricant.
"Multi-Purpose" gear lubricants must be manufac-
tured under carefully controlled conditions and the
lubricant manufacturer must be responsible for the
satisfactory performance of his product. His reputation
is the best indication of quality.
Lubricant Additions
The lubricant level in the axle and transmission hous-
ings should be checked periodically. (Every 6,000 miles.)
It is recommended that any additions required to bring
up the lubricant level be made using the same type lubri-
cant already in the housing.
When checking lubricant level in transmission or rear
axle the unit being cheeked should be at operating
temperature. With unit at operating temperature the
lubricant should be level with bottom of the filler plug
hole.
If the lubricant level is checked with the unit cold
the lubricant level should be 1/2 inch below the filler
plug hole.
Lubricant Changes
The rear axle lubricant does not require changing for
the life of the vehicle. If additions are needed, or when
refilling the axle after service procedures, use lubricants
described above.
POWERGLIDE TRANSMISSION
NOTE: Every 12,000 miles, it is recommended
that the Powerglide low band be adjusted as
specified in Section 7 of this manual.
Every 6,000 miles--Check fluid level on dipstick with
engine idling, selector lever in neutral position, parking
brake set and transmission at operating temperature. If
fluid level is below full mark on dip stick, adding a small
amount of Automatic Transmission Fluid, General Motors
Automatic Transmission Fluid (Part Numbers 1050568-
69,
70) is recommended. If this fluid is not obtainable,
use Automatic Transmission Fluid Type 'A' bearing the
mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter
'A'.
Recheck fluid level on dip stick and again add a
small amount of fluid if needed to bring level to full
mark. DO NOT OVERFILL.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
CHEVROLET, CHEVELLE, CHEVY
I! AND
CAMARO
The rear axle
(fig. 72) is a
semifloating, fabricated
construction type consisting
of a
cast carrier with large
bosses
on
each
end
into which
two
welded steel tubes
are fitted.
The
carrier contains
an
overhung hypoid
pinion
and
ring gear.
The
differential
is a
two pinion
arrangement.
The axle housing
is
made up
of
two steel welded tubes
pressed into
the
crossbore
of the
cast carrier
-
each
tube
is
puddle welded
at
three places
to the
carrier.
Welded-on brackets provide attachment points
for
Chevelle springs,; shock absorbers,
and
lower control
arms.
Chevrolet models have welded-on brackets
for
control arms,
tie
rod, and shock absorbers. The housing
on Chevy II and Camaro has welded brackets
for
mounting
lower spring
pad
and shock absorber.
A
welded flange
is
provided
for
brake flange plate attachment.
The overhung hypoid drive pinion
is
supported
by
two
preloaded tapered roller bearings.
The
pinion shaft
is
sealed
by
means
of a
molded, spring loaded, rubber seal.
The seal
is
mounted
on the
pinion shaft flange which
is
splined and bolted
to
the hypoid pinion shaft.
The hypoid ring gear
is
bolted
to a
one-piece differen-
tial case which
is
supported
by two
preloaded tapered
roller bearings.
CORVETTE
The Corvette rear axle
is of the
type where
the dif-
ferential carrier housing enclosing
the
differential
and
hypoid gears
is
supported
on a
crossmember mounted
to
the chassis frame.
The
differential
is
connected through
universal joints
to the
drive shafts
and
wheels
(fig. 73).
The internal components
of the
carrier
are of
conven-
tional design, incorporating
a
hypoid gear
set
with
an
overhung pinion supported
on two
pre-loaded, tapered
roller bearing assemblies,
and a
two-pinion differential
assembly supported
on
tapered roller bearings. Pinion
mounting distance adjustments
are
made through the
use
of shims,
as are the
differential bearing pre-load
and
backlash adjustments.
The
differential side gears drive
two splined yokes which
are
retained laterally
by
snap
rings located on the yoke splined end. The yokes
are
sup-
ported on caged needle bearings pressed into
the
carrier,
adjacent
to the
differential bearings.
A
lip seal, pressed
in outboard
of
the bearings, prevents
oil
leakage and dirt
entry.
The
carrier cover
is
bolted
to the
carrier and
provides accessibility
to the
internal parts.
The
cover
incorporates two integral, reinforced mounting pads which
serve
as the
carrier attaching point
to the
suspension
crossmember,
and an
attaching point
for the
spring
center section. The filler plug
is
located on the right side
of the cover near the bolting flange.
All service operations allow carrier removal without
removing
the
carrier cover. Cover removal
is
not nec-
essary
in any of the
service procedures except
in
the
case
of
complete carrier housing replacement,
as the
carrier and cover
are
serviced
as
an assembly.
