MAINSHAFT/COUNTERSHAFT BEARING PRELOAD
CAUTION: This procedure must be performed any time a mainshaft, countershaft or input shaft bearing or
shaft is replaced. Failure to follow these instructions will result in damaging the transmission.
MAINSHAFT
1. Set mainshaft, input shaft and countershaft into the
rear housing. Rotate the shafts to seat bearing in
rear housing.
2. Remove mainshaft bearing cup, shims and oiler
washer from the front housing.
3. Position Measurement Fixture 9592 (1) on front
housing over the mainshaft bearing cup bore.
4. Loosen the knob (2) on the fixture and lower the
shaft onto the mainshaft bearing cup (3) bore
shoulder. Then tighten the knob to hold the shaft.
5. Remove the fixture from the front housing.

MAINSHAFT BEARINGS PRELOAD
1. Install input shaft (2) in to front adapter.
2. Install mainshaft and bearing.
3. Install case and bolt together using all bolts.
4. Rotate input shaft and mainshaft to seat bearings.
5. Screw Stud 8161 into the case and set up dial indi-
cator (1) on the end of the mainshaft (2).
6. Zerothedialindicator,thenpushupontheinput
shaft and record the end play reading. If there is no
end play, a thinner shim must be installed behind
the input shaft bearing cup in the front adapter.
Install .010 in. thinner shims until an end play is
obtained.
7. Once an end play reading is obtained, add .002 in.
to the reading.
8. Install shim(s) behind the input shaft bearing cup in
the front adapter.

34.Measure 2/4 clutch clearance:Set up dial indi-
cator (1) as shown. Press down clutch pack with
finger and zero dial indicator. Record measure-
ment in four (4) places and take average reading.
The 2/4 clutch pack clearance is 0.76 to 2.64
mm (0.030 to 0.104 inch).If not within specifica-
tions, the clutch is not assembled properly or is
excessively worn.There is no adjustment for
the 2/4 clutch clearance.
35. Install the #7 needle bearing (1) to the rear sun
gear (2).The number 7 needle bearing has
three antireversal tabs and is common with
the number 5 and number 2 position. The ori-
entation should allow the bearing to seat flat
against the rear sun gear. A small amount of
petrolatum can be used to hold the bearing to
the rear sun gear.
36. Install rear sun gear (2) and #7 needle bearing
(1).

NOTE: Before installing the oil pan bolt in the bolt
hole located between the torque converter clutch
on and U/D clutch pressure tap circuits , it will be
necessary to replenish the sealing patch on the
bolt using MOPAR
Lock & Seal Adhesive.
60. Install and torque the oil pan-to-case bolts to 20
Nꞏm (14.5 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Before installing either speed sensor bolt,
it will be necessary to replentish the sealing patch
on the bolt using Mopar
Lock & Seal Adhesive.
61. Install both speed sensors (1, 2) into the transmis-
sion case. Torque the speed sensor bolts to 9
Nꞏm (80 in. lbs.).
62. As a final check of the transmission, measure the
input shaft end play. This will indicate when a #4
thrust plate change is required. The #4 thrust
plate is located behind the overdrive clutch hub.
Attach a dial indicator to transmission bell housing
with its plunger seated against end of input shaft.
Move input shaft in and out to obtain end play
reading.Input shaft end play must be 0.127 to
0.635 mm (0.005 to 0.025 inch).If not within
specifications, make the necessary thrust plate
adjustment.

BEARINGS
ADJUSTMENTS
BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Take extreme care when removing andinstalling bearing cups and cones.Use only an arbor press for installa-
tion,as a hammer may not properly align the bearing cup or cone. Burrs or nicks on the bearing seat will give a
false end play reading, while gauging for proper shims. Improperly seatedbearing cup and cones are subject to
low-mileage failure.
Bearing cups and cones should be replaced if they show signs of pitting or heat distress.
If distress is seen on either the cup or bearing rollers, both cup and cone must be replaced.
NOTE: Bearing drag torque specifications must be maintained to avoid premature bearing failures.
Used (original) bearing may lose up to 50 percent of the original drag torque after break-in.
NOTE: All bearing adjustments must be made with no other component interference or gear inter-mesh.
Oil all bearings before checking turning torque.
