tag on the outlet fitting and install the

outlet fitting hex nut. Torque the nut

to specification (Part 3-13). Do not

exceed specification.

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

DISASSEMBLY

Disassembly of the pump and its

subassemblies must be made on a

clean work bench. In repairing any

hydraulically operated unit, cleanliness

is of utmost importance. Clean the ex-

terior of the unit with a suitable sol-

vent and drain as much of the fluid as

possible.

If only the reservoir is to be re-

moved, plug the inlet and outlet open-

ings with masking tape or plugs. Do

not immerse the shaft oil seal in sol-

vent. If only the rotor shaft seal is to

be replace, see Rotor Shaft Seal Re-

placement outlined in this section.

1.
Assemble the adapter plate (Tool

T69P-3A674-A) to the bench mount-

ed holding fixture Tool T57L-5OO-A

(Fig. 8).

2.
Position the pump assembly,

with pulley assembled, on the adapter

plate, pulley facing down.

3.
Remove the outlet fitting nut and

the service identification tag.

4.
Invert the pump assembly and,

using a block of wood and a rubber or

plastic hammer, remove the pump res-

ervoir and seal by tapping around the

flange of the reservoir and on the und-

erside of the filler neck.

5.
Again invert the pump assembly,

loosen and remove the pump housing

retention bolts and remove the pump

housing.
6. If necessary, remove the fol-

lowing components from the pump

housing: the housing cover, the O-ring

seal and the pressure springs. These

components normally will remain in

the pump housing when it is removed.

7.
Remove and discard the pump

cover gasket.

8. Remove the retainer end plate

and upper pressure plate (in some

pumps, the end plate and upper pres-

sure plate are integral).

9. Remove the loose fitting dowel

pin. Be careful not to bend the fixed

dowel pin which remains in the hous-

ing plate assembly.

10.
Remove the rotor assembly

being careful to prevent the springs

and slippers from falling out and be-

coming lost. Do not disassemble fur-

ther unless the lower pressure plate,

housing plate, rotor shaft and/or seal

is to be replaced.

11.
Invert the pump assembly and,

using Tool T63L-1O3OO-B, remove the

pulley.

12.
Clean any rust, road dirt, burrs,

scoring, etc. from the pulley end of

the rotor shaft prior to removal of the

shaft from the housing plate. The

shaft must come out without restric-

tions to prevent scoring or damage to

the bushing. Remove the pump rotor

shaft.

13.
Remove the lower pressure

plate.

DESCRIPTION

The roller-type hydraulic pump,

driven by the crankshaft, draws auto-

matic transmission fluid down the res-

ervoir and provides fluid pressure for

the system. Steering gear lubrication
is also provided by the same fluid

from the reservoir. Within the pump

itself is a flow-control and pressure-

relief valve which governs the pres-
sures within the steering system ac-

cording to the varying conditions of

operation. After fluid has passed from

the gear, it returns to the reservoir.

POWER STEERING PUMP

DISASSEMBLY

A clean working area should be

used when overhauling the power

steering pump. Foreign matter picked

up on working parts may cause dam-

age or failure of the unit. Clean con-

tainers should be used for parts.

1.
Drain the fluid from the pump.

Remove the pump cover-to-housing

cap screws (Fig. 1). Place the pump

on the bench, cover side down. Lift

the housing from the cover.

2.
Remove the large and the small

O-rings from the pump cover. Remove

the O-ring from the pressure plate

hub.

3.
Remove the pressure plate-

to-cover screws, and remove the plate.

Lift the cam ring off the dowel pins.

4.
Remove the rollers. Lift the

rotor off the shaft, and remove the

drive key from the shaft. Remove the

dowel pins from the cover.

5.
Remove the rotor shaft from the

cover. Do not remove the snap ring

from the shaft unless it, or the shaft,

is damaged.

6. Pry the rotor shaft seals out of

the cover and the housing.

7. Do not disturb the control valve

unless diagnosis indicated a control

valve problem or foreign matter in the

valve. To remove the valve, drive the

roll pin out of the housing. Remove

the plug and O-ring, control valve,

and the spring. If the plug or valve is

stuck, tap the end of the housing on a

piece of wood or tap it with a soft-

faced hammer. Remove the O-ring

from the plug.

ASSEMBLY

Apply automatic transmission fluid

to all parts as they are assembled. Al-

ways use new seals and O-rings.

1.
Install the control valve spring in

the housing. Install the valve with the

small sensing hole in the end of the

valve toward the spring. Install a new

O-ring on the plug. The plug O-ring is

1/8 inch smaller in diameter than the

bypass O-ring. Make sure the proper

O-ring is used. Install the plug and a

new roll pin (Fig. 1).

2.
The rotor shaft oil seals are in-

stalled in the cover and the housing

with Tool 3583-J, which consists of a

driver and an adapter. The procedure

is as follows:

a. Support the cover on wood

blocks (Fig. 2) to provide tool clear-

ance.
Use clean blocks that will not

nick or damage the inner face of the

cover.
b.
Start the seal (metal shell up-

ward) square!y into the bore with fin-

ger pressure. Place the adapter on the

driver with the square corner of the

FIG. 2—Preparation for Installing

Rotor Shaft Seals

adapter toward the seal (Fig. 2). Drive

the seal into the cover, as shown in

Fig. 3, until it bottoms.

Driving the seal beyond this point

can damage it. Install the seal in the

pump housing in the same manner.

3.
Install the rotor shaft in the

FIG. 3—Installing Rotor

Shaft Seals
cover as shown in Fig. 4 to prevent

damage to the seal.

4.
Install the dowel pins in the

cover. Place the rotor drive key in the

shaft. Install the rotor on the shaft

with the drive key groove aligned with

the key and the counterbored side of

the rotor toward the cover so that it

goes over the snap ring.

5.
Place the cam ring on the dowel

pins with the chamfered edge upward

(Fig. 5). Place the rollers in the rotor.

6. Place the pressure plate on the

dowel pins. Install and tighten the

screws to 20 in-lbs torque. Install the

O-ring on the pressure plate hub. In-

stall O-rings in the groove at the fluid

bypass hole and around the cam ring

(Fig. 6).

7.
Place the tool shown in Fig. 6 in

the rotor shaft to prevent damage to

the oil seal, then install the housing on

the cover. Install and torque the cap

screws to 15-20 ft-lbs.

taching bolts to the proper torque. If

necessary, replace the gasket.

Check the fluid filler tube connec-

tion at the transmission case or pan.

If leakage is found here, install a new

O-ring or tighten the fitting to the

specified torque.

Check the fluid lines and fittings

between the transmission and the

cooler in the radiator tank for loose-

ness,
wear, or damage. If leakage can-

not be stopped by tightening a fitting,

replace the damaged parts.

Check the engine coolant in the ra-

diator. If transmission fluid is present

in the coolant, the cooler in the radia-

tor is probably leaking.

The cooler can be further checked

for leaks by disconnecting the lines

from the cooler fittings and applying

50-75 psi air pressure to the fittings.

Remove the radiator cap to relieve the

pressure build at the exterior of the oil

cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking

and will not hold this pressure the

cooler must be replaced. Cooler re-

placement is described in the Cooling

System Section of Group 11.

If leakage is found at either the

downshift control lever shaft or the

manual lever shaft, replace either or

both seals.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left

side of the transmission case at the

front. If the plug shows leakage, tor-

que the plug to specifications. If tight-

ening does not stop the leaks, replace

the plug. On a C6 transmission, a TV

pressure plug is also provided on the

right rear side of the case.

When converter drain plugs leak,

remove drain plugs with a six-point

wrench. Coat the threads with FoMo-

Co Perfect Seal Sealing Compound or

its equivalent, and install the plugs.

Torque the drain plugs to specifica-

tion. Fluid leakage from the converter

housing may be caused by engine oil

leaking past the rear main bearing or

from oil gallery plugs, or power steer-

ing oil leakage from steering system.

Be sure to determine the exact cause

of the leak before repair procedures

are started.

Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes

premixed at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon

of dye powder to 1/2 pint of transmis-

sion fluid have proved helpful in locat-

ing the source of the fluid leakage.

Such dyes may be used to determine

whether an engine oil or transmission

fluid leak is present or if the fluid in

the oil cooler leaks into the engine

coolant system. A black light, how-

ever, must be used with the fluorescent

dye solution.

CONVERTER LEAKAGE

CHECK

If there are indications that the

welds on the torque converter are

leaking, the converter will have to be

removed and the following check

made before the unit is replaced.

A leak checking tool (Fig. 2) can be

made from standard parts. The tool

can be used to check all converters.

1.
Install the plug in the converter

(Fig. 3) and expand it by tightening

the wing nut. Attach the safety chains.

2.
Install the air valve in one of the

drain plug holes.

3.
Introduce air pressure into the

converter. Check the pressure with a

tire gauge and adjust it to 20 psi.

4.
Place the converter in a tank of

water. Observe the weld areas for

bubbles. If no bubbles are observed, it

may be assumed that the welds are

not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK

Check and, if necessary, adjust the

engine idle speed, using the procedure

given in Group 10.

If the idle speed is too low, the en-

gine will run roughly. An idle speed

that is too high will cause the vehicle

to creep, have harsh engagements and

harsh closed-throttle downshifts.
ANTI-STALL DASHPOT

CLEARANCE CHECK

After the engine idle speed has been

properly adjusted, check the anti-stall

dashpot clearance. Follow the proce-

dure given in Group 10 for checking

and adjusting this clearance.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS

Correct manual linkage adjustment

is necessary to position the manual

valve for proper fluid pressure direc-

tion to the different transmission com-

ponents. Improperly adjusted manual
