Automatic transmission DODGE RAM 1500 1998 2.G Workshop Manual

(16) Install transfer case, if equipped. Tighten
transfer case nuts to 35 N´m (26 ft.lbs.).
(17) Install rear support to transmission. Tighten
bolts to 47 N´m (35 ft.lbs.).
(18) Lower transmission onto crossmember and
install bolts attaching transmission mount to cross-
member. Tighten clevis bracket to crossmember bolts
to 47 N´m (35 ft.lbs.). Tighten the clevis bracket to
rear support bolt to 68 N´m (50 ft.lbs.).
(19) Remove engine support fixture.
(20) Connect gearshift cable to transmission.
(21) Connect wires to solenoid and pressure switch
assembly (Fig. 55) connector, input (Fig. 56) and out-
put (Fig. 57) speed sensors, and line pressure sensor
(Fig. 58). Be sure transmission harnesses are prop-
erly routed.
CAUTION: It is essential that correct length bolts be
used to attach the converter to the driveplate. Bolts
that are too long will damage the clutch surface
inside the converter.
