ECU DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

INSTALLATION
Check converter hub and drive notches for sharp
edges, burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and
notches with 320/400 grit paper or crocus cloth if nec-
essary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging
the pump seal at installation.
1. Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission fluid.
2. Place torque converter in position on transmission.
CAUTION: Do not damage oil pump seal or bush-
ing while inserting torqueconverterintothefront
of the transmission.
3. Align torque converter to oil pump seal opening.
4. Insert torque converter hub into oil pump.
5. While pushing torque converter inward, rotate con-
verter until converter is fully seated in the oil pump
gears.
6. Check converter seating with a scale (1) and
straightedge (2). Surface of converter lugs should
be 19mm (0.75 in.) to the rear of the straightedge when converter is fully seated.
7. If necessary, temporarily secure converter with C-clamp attached to the converter housing.
8. Install the transmission in the vehicle.
9. Fill the transmission with the recommended fluid.

1. Disconnect wires from governor pressure sensor
and solenoid.
2. Remove screws attaching governor body and
retainer plate to transfer plate.

straight out of bore in governor body. Remove and
discard solenoid O-rings if worn, cut, or torn.
6. Remove small shoulder bolt that secures solenoid
harness case connector (1) to 3-4 accumulator
housing (2). Retain shoulder bolt. Either tape it to
harness or thread it back into accumulator housing
after connector removal.
7. Unhook overdrive/converter solenoid harness (1)
from 3-4 accumulator cover plate (2)
.
8. Turn valve body over and remove screws that
attach overdrive/converter solenoid assembly (1) to
valve body.

12. Secure detent ball and spring with Retainer Tool
6583 (1).
13. Remove park rod E-clip (2) and separate rod (3)
from manual lever (1).
14. Remove E-clip and washer (2) that retains throttle
lever shaft (1) in manual shaft (3).

33. Remove rear clutch (1) and rear servo check balls
(2) from transfer plate (3). Note check ball loca-
tion for assembly reference.
VALVE BODY UPPER HOUSING
1. Note location of check balls (1, 2) in valve body
upper housing. Then remove the one large diame-
ter (2) and the five smaller diameter (1) check
balls.
2. Remove E-clip (1) that secures shuttle valve sec-
ondary spring (2) on valve stem (3).

5. Slide tube brace (2) under tube and into alignment
with valve body screw holes.
6. Install and finger tighten three screws that secure
tube brace to valve body housings.
7. Bend tube brace tabs up and against tube to hold it
in position.
8. Tighten all valve body housing screws to 4 Nꞏm (35
in. lbs.) torque after tube and brace are installed.
Tighten screws in diagonal pattern starting at cen-
ter and working outward.
3-4 ACCUMULATOR
1. Position converter clutch valve (4) and 3-4 shift
valve (3) springs in housing.
2. Loosely attach accumulator housing (2) with right-
side screw (1). Install only one screw at this time
as accumulator must be free to pivot upward for
ease of installation.
3. Install 3-4 shift valve and spring (3).

Condition Possible Cause Correction
Lubricant leaking from output shaft
seal or vent.1) Transfer case overfilled. 1) Drain lubricant to the correct
level.
2) Vent closed or restricted. 2) Clear or replace vent as
necessary.
3) Output shaft seals damaged or
installed incorrectly.3) Replace seal as necessary.
Check to ensure that another
component, the propeller shaft slip
yoke for example, is not causing
damage to seal.
Abnormal tire wear. 1) Extended operation on hard, dry
surfaces in the 4H position.1) Operate vehicle in the 2H
position on hard, dry surfaces.
REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove skid plate, if equipped. (Refer to 13 - FRAMES & BUMPERS/FRAME/TRANSFER CASE SKID PLATE
- REMOVAL)
3. Position drain oil container under transfer case.
4. Remove transfer case drain plug and drain lubricant into container.
5. Disconnect vent hose and transfer case position sensor connector.
6. Disconnect shift rod from grommet in transfer case shift lever, or from floor shift arm whichever provides easy
access. Use channel lock style pliers to press rod out of lever grommet.
7. Support transmission with jack stand.
8. Mark front and rear propeller shafts for assembly reference.
9. Remove front and rear propeller shafts. (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/PROPELLER SHAFT/PRO-
PELLER SHAFT - REMOVAL)
10. Support transfer case with suitable jack. Secure transfer case to jackwith safety chains.
11. Remove nuts attaching transfer case to transmission.
12. Move transfer case assembly rearward until free of transmission outputshaft.
13. Lower jack and move transfer case from under vehicle.
DISASSEMBLY
Position transfer case in a shallow drain pan. Remove drain plug and drain any remaining lubricant remaining in
case.
SHIFT LEVER AND FRONT OUTPUT SHAFT SEAL
1. Shift transfer case into NEUTRAL.
2. Remove nut that retains the shift lever (1) to sector
shaft. Then remove shift lever from shaft.

LOW RANGE ANNULUS GEAR
Inspect annulus gear (2) condition carefully. The gear
is only serviced as part of the front case. If the gear is
damaged, it will be necessary to replace the gear and
front case as an assembly. Do not attempt to remove
the gear.
FRONT CASE AND REAR CASE
Inspect the cases for wear and damage.
Check case condition. If leaks were a problem, look for gouges and severe scoring of case sealing surfaces. Also
make sure the front case mounting studs are in good condition.
Check the front case mounting studs and vent tube. The tube can be secured with Loctite™ 271 or 680 if loose.

rear case. The threads can be repaired with a thread chaser or tap if necessary. Or the threads can be repaired with
Helicoil™ stainless steel inserts if required.
OIL PUMP/OIL PICKUP
Examine the oil pump pickup parts. Replace the pump if any part appears to beworn or damaged. Do not disas-
semble the pump as individual parts are not available. The pump is only available as a complete assembly. The
pickup screen, hose, and tube are the only serviceable parts and are available separately.
ASSEMBLY
BEARINGS AND SEALS

(2). Tighten the sensor or switch to 20-34 Nꞏm
(16-25 ft. lbs.) torque.
18. Install range lever (1) on sector shaft.
19. Install washer and nut on sector shaft to secure
shift lever. Apply 1-2 drops Mopar
Lock N’ Seal,
or equivalent, to nut threads before installation.
Then tighten nut to 27-34 Nꞏm (20-25 ft. lbs.)
torque.
20. Install new o-ring on detent plug (2).
