Theory of Operation
The tow/haul overdrive OFF (control) switch is located in the shift lever arm. The switch is a momentary contact
device that signals the ECM/PCM to toggle current status of the overdrive function. At ignition on, overdrive oper-
ation is allowed. Pressing the Tow/Haul Overdrive Off switch once causes the Tow/haul Overdrive OFF mode to be
entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second time causes normal overdrive oper-
ationtoberestoredandtheTow/haullamptobeturnedoff.TheTow/haulOverdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after
the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch
must be in this position to energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates
only when the Tow/haul Overdrive Off switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the transmission
control module.
Possible Causes
TOW/HAUL OVERDRIVE OFF SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
TOW/HAUL OVERDRIVE OFF SWITCH
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

19. On 4X4 models, disconnect shift rod from transfer
case shift lever.
20. Support rear of engine with safety stand or jack.
21. Raise transmission slightly with service jack to
relieve load on crossmember and supports.
22. Remove the nuts (3) securing rear support (1) to
the transmission crossmember.
23. Remove the bolts(2) holding the rear support (1)
to the transmission (5) remove the rear support.
24. Remove bolts attaching crossmember to frame
and remove crossmember.
25. On 4X4 models, remove transfer case. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE/
TRANSFER CASE - REMOVAL)
26. Remove fill tube (7) bracket bolts and pull tube
out of transmission. Retain fill tube seal (6). On
4X4 models, it will also be necessary to remove
bolt attaching transfer case vent tube to converter
housing.
27. Disconnect fluid cooler lines (6, 7) at transmission
(5), diesel engines.

19. Loosen front band adjusting screw until band is
completely loose.
20. Remove front band strut (2) and anchor (3).
21. Squeeze front band (1) together slightly and slide
band over front clutch retainer (2) and out of
case.

The use of crocus cloth is permissible where necessary, providing it is usedcarefully.Whenusedonshafts,or
valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding off sharp edges. Sharp edges arevital as they prevent foreign matter
from getting between the valve and valve bore.
Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a matter of course.
Also do not reuse snap rings or E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts as well.
ASSEMBLY
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to enter the case or transmission components during assembly. Keep
the transmission case and components clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area used for reassembly
operations are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off tools and your hands must be made fromlint freematerials. Lint will stick to trans-
mission parts and could interfere with valve operation or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate transmission clutch and gear components with Mopar
ATF +4 during reassembly. Soak clutch discs in
transmission fluid before installation.
Use petroleum jelly on piston seals and o-rings to ease installation. Petroleumjellycanalsobeusedtolubricate
and hold thrust washers and plates in position during assembly.
Do not use chassis grease, bearing grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any part.These types of
lubricants can eventually block or restrict fluid passages and valve operation. Use petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. The transmission components and sub-assemblies are easily installed by hand when
properly aligned. If a part seems difficult to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly assembled. Verify that thrust
washers, thrust plates and seal rings are correctly positioned.
The planetary geartrain, front/rear clutch assemblies and oil pump are all much easier to install when the transmis-
sion case is upright. Either tilt the case upward with wood blocks, or cut a hole in the bench large enough for the
intermediate shaft and rear support. Then lower the shaft and support intothe hole and support the rear of the case
directly on the bench.
FRONT/REAR SERVO
1. Lubricate rear servo piston seal with ATF +4. Lubri-
cateservoboreincasewithATF+4.
2. Install rear servo piston (1) in case. Position piston
at slight angle to bore and insert piston with twist-
ing motion.

3. Install rear servo spring (1) and retainer (3) in case
bore. Be sure spring (1) is seated on piston (2).
4.CompressrearservopistonwithC-clamp(2)or
Valve Spring Compressor C-3422-B and install
servopistonsnap-ring(4).
5. Lubricate front servo piston (2) components and
servo bore in case with transmission fluid.
6. Install front servo piston (2) in bore. Carefully “run”
small, suitable tool (1) around piston ring to press it
back into groove and ease installation. Rotate pis-
tonintoboreatsametime.Rockpistonslightlyto
ease piston ring past snap-ring groove and into
bore.

INSTALLATION
1. Check torque converter hub inner and outer diam-
eters and hub drive notches for sharp edges burrs,
scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and notches
with 320/400 grit paper and crocus cloth if neces-
sary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging
pump seal at installation.
2. Lubricate pocket in the rear oil pump seal lip with
transmission fluid.
3. Lubricate converter pilot hub of the crankshaft with
a light coating of Mopar
High Temp Grease.
4. Align and install converter in 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 19mm (0.75 in.) to rear of straightedge when
converter is fully seated.
7. Temporarily secure converter with C-clamp.
8. For vehicles equipped with a diesel engine;
a. Position transmission on jack and secure it
with chains.
b. Check condition of converter driveplate.
Replace the plate if cracked, distorted or dam-
aged.Also be sure transmission dowel pins
are seated in engine block and protrude far
enough to hold transmission in alignment.
c. Raise transmission and align converter with
drive plate and converter housing with engine
block.
d. Move transmission forward. Then raise, lower
or tilt transmission to align converter housing
with engine block dowels.
e. Carefully work transmission forward and over
engine block dowels until converter hub is
seated in crankshaft.
f. Install bolts (5) attaching transmission (3) to
engine adapter (2).

BANDS
DESCRIPTION
KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND
The kickdown, or “front”, band (1) holds the common
sun gear of the planetary gear sets. The front (kick-
down) band is made of steel, and faced on its inner
circumference with a friction-type lining. One end of
the band is anchored to the transmission case, and
the other is acted on with a pushing force by a servo
piston. The front band is a single-wrap design (the
band does not completely encompass/wrap the drum
that it holds).
LOW/REVERSE (REAR) BAND
The low/reverse band, or “rear”, band (4) is similar in
appearance and operation to the front band. The rear
band is slightly different in that it does not use a link
bar, but is acted directly on by the apply lever. This is
referred to as a double-wrap band design (the drum is
completely encompassed/wrapped by the band). The
double-wrap band provides a greater holding power in
comparison to the single-wrap design.
OPERATION
KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND
The kickdown band holds the common sun gear of the planetary gear sets by applying and holding the front clutch
retainer, which is splined to the sungear driving shell, and in turn splineddirectlytothesungear.Theapplication
of the band by the servo is typically done by an apply lever and link bar.
LOW/REVERSE (REAR) BAND
The rear band holds the rear planet carrier stationary by being mounted around and applied to the low/reverse
drum.
