torque DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

1. Remove the torque converter (1) from the transmis-
sion input shaft (3).
2. Measure input shaft end play using pieces from
End Play Set 8266 (1, 2). Set up tool 8266 and
Dial Indicator C-3339 as shown.
3. Move input shaft in and out to obtain end play
reading. End play specifications are 0.127 to 0.635
mm (0.005 to 0.025 inch). Record indicator reading
for reference when reassembling the transmission.
If endplay exceeds the specified range, the #4
thrust plate needs to be inspected and changed if
necessary.
NOTE: The four bolts (3) along the bottom of the
adapter or extension housing (2) have a sealing
patch applied from the factory. Note the locations
of these bolts and separate these bolts for reuse.
4. Remove the bolts that hold the adapter or exten-
sion housing (2) onto the transmission case.

2. Install low/reverse piston retainer gasket (2).
3. Install low/reverse piston retainer (1).
4. Install low/reverse piston retainer-to-case screws
(3) and torque to 5 Nꞏm (45 in. lbs.).

NOTE: The Low/Reverse Clutch Piston has bonded
seals which are not individually serviceable. Seal
replacement requires replacement of the piston
assembly.
5. Install low/reverse clutch piston (1).
6. Assemble guide bracket (1) assembly as shown, if
necessary.
CAUTION: When installing, be sure guide bracket
and split sleeve touch the rear of the transmission
case.
7. Install guide bracket pivot pin (1).
8. Install park sprag pivot retaining bolt and torque to
4.5 Nꞏm (40 in. lbs.).

17. Install output shaft/rear carrier into rear bearing.
The shaft must be pressed into position. Use Disc
MD-998911 (2), Universal Handle C- 4171 and
Handle Extension C-4171-2 (Handle) (1) to press
shaft into rear bearing.
CAUTION: Do not re-use old output shaft nut
because the removed stake weakens the nut
flange. Using Wrenches 6497 and 6498-A, install
new output shaft nut. Tighten new output shaft nut
to 271 Nꞏm (200 ft. lbs.).
18. Check the turning torque (1) of the output shaft.
The shaft should have 1 to 8 in. lbs. of turning
torque. If the turning torque ishigher than8in.
lbs., install a thicker shim. If turning torque isless
than1 in. lb., install a thinner shim. Make sure
there is no end play.

CAUTION: Failure to stake nut could allow the nut
to back-off during use.
19. The new nut (3) must be staked after the correct
turning torque is obtained. Use Staking Tool 6639
(2) to stake output shaft nut.
20. Verify that the nut has been properly staked to the
output shaft.

51. Install oil pump (2) and torque oil pump-to-case
bolts (1) to 30 Nꞏm (265 in. lbs.). Do not reuse
original oil pump bolts.
52. Install low/reverse accumulator (1) as shown.
53. Install low/reverse accumulator plug (2).

57. Install seven (7) valve body-to-case bolts (1) and
torque to 12 Nꞏm (105 in. lbs.).
58. Install transmission oil filter (1). Tighten the bolts
to5Nꞏm(45in.lbs.).
59. Install transmission oil pan (1) with a bead of
Mopar
AT F R T V.

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.

69. Install the bolts that hold the adapter or extension
housing onto the transmission case. Be sure to
install any stud bolts to their original locations.
Tighten the bolts to 54 Nꞏm (40 ft.lbs.).
INSTALLATION
NOTE: 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. Thehub must be smooth to avoid
damaging pump seal at installation.
1. 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 transmission.
2. Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission fluid.
3. Align converter and oil pump.
4. Carefully insert converter in oil pump. Then rotate
converter back and forth until fully seated in pump
gears.
5. 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.
6. Temporarily secure converter with C-clamp.
7. Position transmission on jack and secure it with chains.
8. Check condition of converter driveplate. Replace the plate if cracked,distorted or damaged.Also be sure trans-
mission dowel pins are seated in engine block and protrude far enough to holdtransmissioninalign-
ment.
9. Apply a light coating of Mopar
High Temp Grease to the torque converter hub pocket in the rear pocket of the
engine’s crankshaft.
10. Raise transmission and align the torque converter with the drive plateand transmission converter housing with
the engine block.
11. Move transmission forward. Then raise, lower or tilt transmission to align the converter housing with engine
block dowels.

12. Carefully work transmission forward and over engine block dowels until converter hub is seated in crankshaft.
Verify that no wires, or the transmission vent hose, have become trapped between the engine block and the
transmission.
13. Install two bolts to attach the transmission to the engine.
14. Install remaining torque converter housing to engine bolts. Tighten to 68 Nꞏm (50 ft.lbs.).
15. Install transfer case, if equipped. Tighten transfer case nuts to 35 Nꞏm (26 ft.lbs.).
16. Install rear transmission crossmember. Tighten crossmember to framebolts to 68 Nꞏm (50 ft.lbs.).
17. Install rear support to transmission. Tighten bolts to 47 Nꞏm (35 ft.lbs.).
18. Lower transmission onto crossmember and install bolts attaching transmission mount to crossmember. Tighten
clevis bracket to crossmember bolts to 47 Nꞏm (35 ft.lbs.). Tighten the clevis bracket to rear support bolt to 68
Nꞏm (50 ft.lbs.).
19. Connect gearshift cable (1) to support bracket (2)
and transmission manual lever (3).
20. Connect the input (1) and output (2) speed sensor
and the transmission range sensor (5).
21. Connect the variable line pressure connector (4),
if equipped.
