INSTALLATION
1. Check torque converter hub and hub drive flats for
sharp edges burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the
hub and flats with 320/400 grit paper and crocus
cloth if necessary. Verify that the converter hub
o-ring is properly installed and is free of any debris.
The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging pump
seal at installation.
2. If a replacement transmission is being installed,
transfer any components necessary, such as the
manual shift lever and shift cable bracket, from the
original transmission onto the replacement trans-
mission.
3. Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission fluid.
4. Align converter and oil pump.
5. Carefully insert converter in oil pump. Then rotate
converter back and forth until fully seated in pump
gears.
6. Check converter seating with steel scale (1) and
straightedge (2). Surface of converter lugs should
be at least 13mm (1/2 in.) to rear of straightedge when converter is fully seated.
7. Temporarily secure converter with C-clamp.
8. Position transmission on jack and secure it with
chains.
9. Check condition of converter driveplate. Replace
the plate if cracked, distorted or damaged.Also be
sure transmission dowel pins are seated in
engine block and protrude far enough to hold
transmission in alignment.
10. Apply a light coating of Mopar
High Temp
Grease to the torque converter hub pocket in the
rear pocket of the engine’s crankshaft.
11. Raise transmission (2) and align the torque con-
verter with the drive plate and transmission con-
verter housing with the engine block.
12. Move transmission forward. Then raise, lower or
tilt transmission to align the converter housing
with engine block dowels.
13. Carefully work transmission forward and over
engine block dowels until converter hub is seated
in crankshaft. Verify that no wires, or the transmis-
sion vent hose, have become trapped between
theengineblockandthetransmission.
14. Install two bolts to attach the transmission to the
engine.
15. Install remaining torque converter housing to
engine bolts. Tighten to 68 Nꞏm (50 ft.lbs.).
16. Install transfer case, if equipped. Tighten transfer
case nuts to 35 Nꞏm (26 ft.lbs.).
17. Install rear support to transmission. Tighten bolts
to 47 Nꞏm (35 ft.lbs.).
