VACUUM PUMP OPERATION

Vacuum pump output is transmitted to the power
brake booster through a supply hose. The hose is con­ nected to an outlet port on the pump housing and to
the check valve in the power brake booster.
Pump output ranges from a minimum of 8.5 to 25
inches vacuum. The pump rotor and vanes are rotated by the pump
drive gear. The drive gear is operated by the cam­
shaft gear. Booster vacuum level is monitored by a warning
switch (Fig. 2). The switch consists of a vacuum
chamber that measures vacuum level and a sensor in
circuit with the brake warning light. The vacuum chamber is connected to the booster
check valve by a vacuum supply hose. A wire har­
ness connects the switch sensor to the brake warning
light. If booster vacuum falls below 8.5 inches for 8-10 seconds or more, the switch sensor completes
the circuit to the warning light causing it to illumi­

nate.

VACUUM PUMP DIAGNOSIS
Vacuum pump diagnosis involves checking pump
output with a vacuum gauge. The low vacuum warn­
ing switch can also be checked with a vacuum gauge.
Refer to the diagnosis procedure in this section. A standard vacuum gauge can be used to check
pump output when necessary. Simply disconnect the
pump supply hose and connect a vacuum gauge to
the outlet port for testing purposes. Vacuum should
hold steady in a range of approximately 8.5 to 25 inches at various engine speeds.
DIAGNOSING LOW VACUUM OUTPUT CONDITION A low booster vacuum condition or a faulty low
vacuum warning switch will cause the brake warn­ ing light to illuminate. If the light does go on and in­
dicates the existence of a low vacuum condition,
check the vacuum pump, booster and warning switch
as follows:
(1) Check vacuum pump oil feed line. Verify that
line connections are secure and not leaking. If leak­ age is noted and pump is noisy, replace pump.
(2) Disconnect supply hose to booster. Connect vac­
uum gauge to this hose and run engine at various
throttle openings. Output should range from 8.5 to 25 inches vacuum. If vacuum is consistently below
8.5 inches, problem is with vacuum hoses or pump
component. If output is within specified limits, con­
tinue testing.
(3) Check booster operation as described in diagno­
sis section. Replace check valve, vacuum hoses, or
booster if necessary. However, if booster operation is correct but warning light is still on, continue testing. (4) Disconnect vacuum hose at warning switch.
Plug hose and connect hand vacuum pump to switch. (5) Start and run engine.
(6) Apply 8.5 to 9 inches of vacuum to warning
switch and observe warning light. If light goes out,
switch vacuum hose is either loose or leaking. If
light remains on, leave engine running and continue
testing.
(7) Apply 20-25 inches vacuum to switch and ob­
serve warning light operation. If light now goes out,
switch is at fault and should be replaced. If light re­
mains on, continue testing.
(8) Reconnect vacuum hoses and replace original
warning switch with known good switch. Run engine and observe warning light operation. If light is now
off, old switch is faulty. If light remains on, problem
is in wiring between switch and warning light.

COMPONENTS

MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
The clutch mechanism
in
AD
models with
a gas or

diesel engine consists
of a
single, dry-type clutch disc and
a
diaphragm style clutch cover.
A
hydraulic
linkage
is
used
to
engage/disengage
the
clutch disc
and cover.
The transmission input shaft
is
supported
in the

crankshaft
by a
bearing.
A
sleeve type release bear­
ing
is
used
to
operate
the
clutch cover pressure plate.
The release bearing
is
operated
by a
release fork
in

the clutch housing.
The
fork pivots
on a
ball stud
mounted inside
the
housing.
The
release fork
is
actu­ ated
by a
hydraulic slave cylinder mounted
in the

housing.
The
slave cylinder
is
operated
by a
clutch master cylinder mounted
on the
dash panel.
The
cyl­
inder push
rod is
connected
to the
clutch pedal.
The clutch disc
has
cushion springs
in the
disc
hub.

The clutch disc facing
is
riveted
to the hub. The
fac­ ing
is
made from
a
non-asbestos material.
The
clutch
cover pressure plate
is a
diaphragm type with
a one-

piece spring
and
multiple release fingers.
The
pres­ sure plate release fingers
are
preset during
manufacture
and are not
adjustable.
A
265 mm
clutch disc
and
cover
are
used
in
models
with
a 3.9L
engine.
A 280 mm
clutch disc
and
cover are used
in
models with
a 5.2L, or
5.9L engine.
A
330 mm
clutch disc
and
cover
are
used
in
models
equipped with
the
optional
5.9L
Cummins diesel
en­

gine.
Some diesel models
are
also equipped with
a

clutch pedal interlock switch.
The
switch
is in
circuit
with
the
starter relay
and is
actuated
by the
clutch
pedal
and
push
rod. The
clutch pedal must
be
fully depressed
in
order
to
start
the
engine.

HYDRAULIC LINKAGE COMPONENTS
The hydraulic linkage consists
of a
remote reser­
voir, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder and interconnecting fluid lines.
The clutch master cylinder
is
connected
to the

clutch pedal
and the
slave cylinder
is
connected
to

the clutch release fork.
The
master cylinder
is
mounted
on the
drivers' side
of the
dash panel adja­
cent
to the

CLUTCH LINKAGE FLUID
The clutch fluid reservoir, master cylinder, slave
cylinder
and
fluid lines
are
prefilled with fluid
at the

factory during assembly operations. The hydraulic system should
not
require additional
fluid under normal circumstances.
In
fact,
the
reser­
voir fluid level will actually increase
as
normal clutch wear occurs.
For
this reason,
it is
impor­
tant
to
avoid overfilling,
or
removing fluid from
the reservoir. If inspection
or
diagnosis indicates additional fluid
may
be
needed,
use
Mopar brake fluid,
or an
equiv­
alent meeting
SAE and DOT
standards J1703
and

DOT
3. Do not use any
other type
of
fluid.

CLUTCH
COMPONENT LUBRICATION
Proper clutch component lubrication
is
important
to satisfactory operation.
The
correct lubricant
and
not overlubricating
are
equally important. Apply rec­
ommended lubricant sparingly
to
avoid disc
and
pres­ sure plate contamination. Clutch
and
transmission components requiring
lu­

brication
are:
• pilot bearing
• release lever pivot ball stud
• release lever contact surfaces
• clutch disc
hub
splines
• clutch pedal pivot shaft bore
• clutch pedal bushings
• input shaft splines
• input shaft pilot
hub

• transmission front bearing retainer slide surface Do
not
apply grease
to any
part
of the
clutch
cover,
or
disc.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Use Mopar multi-purpose grease
for the
clutch
pedal bushings
and
pivot shaft.
Use
Mopar high tem­
perature grease
(or
equivalent)
for all
other lubrica­
tion requirements. Apply recommended amounts
and
do
not
over lubricate.

CLUTCH
6 - 3 Check condition of the clutch before installation. A
warped cover or diaphragm spring will cause grab and incomplete release or engagement.
Be careful when handling the cover and disc. Im­
pact can distort the cover, diaphragm spring, release
fingers and the hub of the clutch disc.
Use an alignment tool when positioning the disc on
the flywheel. The tool prevents accidental misalign­ ment which could result in cover distortion and disc
damage.
A frequent cause of clutch cover distortion (and
consequent misalignment) is improper bolt tighten­
ing. To avoid warping the cover, tighten the bolts al­
ternately (in a diagonal pattern) and evenly (2-3
threads at a time) to specified torque.
Clutch
Housing
Misalignment And Runout Clutch housing alignment is important to proper
operation. The housing bore maintains alignment be­
tween the crankshaft and transmission input shaft.
Misalignment can cause noise, incomplete clutch
release and chatter. It can also result in premature
wear of the pilot bearing, cover release fingers and
clutch disc. In severe cases, misalignment can also cause premature wear of the transmission input
shaft and bearing.
Housing face misalignment is generally caused by
incorrect seating on the engine or transmission, loose
housing bolts, missing alignment dowels or housing damage. Infrequently, misalignment may also be
caused by housing mounting surfaces that are not
parallel. If housing misalignment is suspected, housing bore
and face runout can be checked with a dial indicator
as described in the following two procedures:

MEASURING
CLUTCH HOUSING BORE
RUNOUT
(1) Remove the clutch housing and strut.
(2) Remove the clutch cover and disc.
(3) Replace one of the flywheel bolts with a 7/16-20
threaded rod that is 10 in. (25.4 cm) long (Fig. 1).
The rod will be used to mount the dial indicator.
(4) Remove the release fork from the clutch hous­
ing. (5) Reinstall the clutch housing. Tighten the hous­
ing bolts nearest the alignment dowels first. (6) Mount the dial indicator on the threaded rod
and position the indicator plunger on the surface of
the clutch housing bore (Fig. 2).
(7) Rotate the crankshaft until the indicator
plunger is at the top center of the housing bore. Zero the indicator at this point.
(8) Rotate the crankshaft and record the indicator
readings at eight points (45° apart) around the bore (Fig. 3). Repeat the measurement at least twice for
accuracy. (9) Subtract each reading from the one 180° oppo­
site to determine magnitude and direction of runout.
Refer to Figure 3 and following example.
Bore runout example: 0.000 - (-0.007) = 0.007 in. + 0.002 - (-0.010) = 0.012 in.
+ 0.004 - (-0.005) = 0.009 in.
-0.001 -
(
+ 0.001) = -0.002 in. (= 0.002 inch)
In the above example, the largest difference is
0.012 in. and is called the total indicator reading
(TIR).
This means that the housing bore is offset
from the crankshaft centerline by 0.006 in. (which is 1/2 of 0.012 in.).
On gas engines, the acceptable maximum TIR for
housing bore runout is 0.010 inch. If measured TIR is more than 0.010 in. (as in the example), bore runout
will have to be corrected with offset dowels. Offset dowels are available in 0.007, 0.014 and 0.021 in.
sizes for this purpose (Fig. 4). Refer to Correcting
Housing Bore Runout for dowel installation.
On diesel engines, the acceptable maximum
TIR for housing bore runout is 0.015 inch. How­
ever, unlike gas engines, offset dowels are not available to correct runout on diesel engines. If
bore runout exceeds the stated maximum on a diesel engine, it may be necessary to replace ei­
ther the clutch housing, or transmission adapter
plate.

CORRECTING CLUTCH HOUSING BORE
RUNOUT
(GAS
ENGINE
ONLY)
On gas engine vehicles, clutch housing bore runout
is corrected with offset dowels. However, if bore
runout exceeds 0.015 in. TIR on a diesel equipped model, the clutch housing, or transmission adapter
plate may have to be replaced. Offset dowels are not available for diesel models.
The dial indicator reads positive when the plunger
moves inward (toward indicator) and negative when it moves outward (away from indicator). As a result,
the lowest or most negative reading determines the
direction of housing bore offset (runout).
In the sample readings shown in Figure 3 and in
step (7) above, the bore is offset toward the 0.010
inch reading. To correct this, remove the housing and
original dowels. Then install the new offset dowels in
the direction needed to center the bore with the crankshaft centerline.
In the example, TIR was 0.012 inch. The dowels
needed for correction would have an offset of 0.007
in. (Fig. 4).
Install the dowels with the slotted side facing out
so they can be turned with a screwdriver. Then in­
stall the housing, remount the dial indicator and
check bore runout again. Rotate the dowels until the
TIR is less than 0.010 in. if necessary.
If a TIR of 0.053 in. or greater is encountered, it
may be necessary to replace the clutch housing.

(3)
Measure and record face runout at four points
90° apart around the housing face (Fig. 6). Perform
the measurement at least twice for accuracy.

(4)
Subtract the lowest reading from the highest to
determine total runout. As an example, refer to the
sample readings shown in Figure 6. If the low read­
ing was minus
0.004
in. and the highest reading was
plus
0.009
in., total runout is actually
0.013
inch.

(5)
Total allowable face runout is 0.010 inch. If
runout exceeds this figure, runout will have to be
corrected. Refer to Correcting Clutch Housing Face
Runout.

CORRECTING CLUTCH HOUSING FACE
RUNOUT

Housing face runout, on gas or diesel engines, can
be corrected by installing shims between the clutch
housing and transmission (Fig. 7). The shims can be made from shim stock or similar materials of the re­
quired thickness.
As an example, assume that face runout is the
same as shown in Figure 6 and in step (4) above. In
this case, three shims will be needed. Shim thick­
nesses should be
0.009
in. (at the
0.000
corner),
0.012
in. (at the
-0.003
corner) and
0.013
in. (at the
-0.004

corner).
After installing the clutch assembly and housing,
tighten the housing bolts nearest the alignment dow­ els first.
Clutch housing preferred bolt torques are:
• 41 N-m (30 ft. lbs.) for 3/8 in. diameter bolts
• 68 Nnn (50 ft. lbs.) for 7/16 in. diameter bolts
• 47 Nth (35 ft. lbs.) for diesel clutch housing bolts During final transmission installation, install the
shims between the clutch housing and transmission at the appropriate bolt locations.
