3.
Install the bench testing tool on

the transmission.

4.
Remove the
1/8-inch
pipe plug

at the transmission case. Turn the

front pump in a clockwise direction at

75-100 rpm until a regular flow of

transmission fluid leaves the hole in

the transmission case. This operation
bleeds the air from the pump.

5.
Install the pressure gauge (77820

or T57L-77820-A) as shown in Fig.

13.

PRESSURE TESTS

Turn the front pump at 75-100 rpm
and note the gauge readings. The

pressure readings on the bench test

must be within the limits as outlined

in Figure 13, for the engine idle check.

If pressure gauge readings are with-

in limits in all selector lever positions,

install the vacuum diaphragm control

rod unit.

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN

AND REFILL

Normal maintenance and lubrica-

tion requirements do not necessitate

periodic automatic transmission fluid

changes.

If a major repair, such as a clutch

band, bearing, etc., is required in the

transmission, it will have to be re-

moved for service. At this time the

converter, transmission cooler and

cooler lines must be thoroughly

flushed to remove any dirt.

When filling a dry transmission and

converter, install five quarts of fluid.

Start the engine, shift the selector

lever as outlined below, and check and

add fluid as necessary.

Following are the procedures for

partial drain and refill due to in-

vehicle repair operation.

C4 TRANSMISSION

1.
On PEA models, disconnect the

fluid filler tube from the transmission

oil pan to drain the fluid.

On PEB and PEE models, loosen

the pan attaching bolts to drain the

fluid from the transmission.

2.
When the fluid has stopped

draining from the transmission, re-

move and thoroughly clean the pan

and the screen. Discard the pan gas-

ket.

3.
Place a new gasket on the pan,

and install the pan on the transmis-

sion.

4.
On PEA models, connect the

filler tube to the pan and tighten the

fitting securely.

5.
Add three quarts of fluid to the

transmission through the filler tube.

6. Run the engine at idle speed for

about two minutes, and then run it at

fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm) until

it reaches it's normal operating temp-

erature. Do not race the engine.

7.
Shift the selector lever through

all the positions, place it at P, and

check the fluid level. The fluid level

should be above the ADD mark. If
necessary, add enough fluid io the

transmission to bring the level be-

tween the ADD and FULL marks on

che dipstick. Do not overfill the trans-

mission.

FMX OK C6

TRANSMISSION

1.
Raise the vehicle on a hoist or

jack stands.

2.
Place a drain pan under the

transmission.

3.
Loosen the pan attaching bolts

to drain the fluid from the transmis-

sion.

4.
After the fluid has drained to the

level of the pan flange, remove the

rest of the pan bolts working from the

rear and both sides of the pan to

allow it to drop and drain slowly.

5.
When the fluid has stopped

draining from the transmission, re-

move and thoroughly clean the pan

and the screen. Discard the pan gas-

ket.

6. Place a new gasket on the pan,

and install the pan on the transmis-

sion.

7.
Add three quarts of fluid to the

transmission through the filler tube.

8. Run the engine at idle speed for

about two minutes, and then run it at

fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm) until

it reaches normal operating tempera-

ture.
Do not race the engine.

9. Shift the selector lever through

all the positions, place it at P, and

check the fluid level. The fluid level

should be above the ADD mark. If

necessary, add enough fluid to the

transmission to bring the level be-

tween the ADD and FULL marks on

the dipstick. Do not overfill the trans-

mission.

OIL COOLER TUBE

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

When fluid leakage is found at the

oil cooler, the cooler must be re-

placed. Cooler replacement is de-

scribed in the Cooling System Section

of Group 11.
When one or more of the fluid

cooler steel tubes must be replaced,

each replacement tube must be fabri-

cated from the same size steel tubing

as the original line.

Using the old tube as a guide, bend

the new tube as required. Add the

necessary fittings, and install the tube.

After the fittings have been tight-

ened, add fluid as needed, and check

for fluid leaks.

VACUUM DIAPHRAGM

ADJUSTMENT NON-ALTITUDE

COMPENSATING TYPE

The C4 and C6 transmissions are

equipped with an adjustable vacuum

diaphragm assembly. A similar ad-

justable diaphragm has been released

for service with the FMX transmis-

sion. However, the FMX service dia-

phragm is not interchangeable with

that used on C4 and C6 models.

The vacuum diaphragm assembly

has an adjusting screw in the vacuum

hose connecting tube (Fig. 14).
