ing screw bracket (Fig. 107).
(21) Install spring on end of line pressure regula-
tor valve.
(22) Install switch valve spring on tang at end of
adjusting screw bracket (Fig. 107).
(23) Position adjusting screw bracket on valve
body. Align valve springs and press bracket into
place. Install short, upper bracket screws first and
long bottom screw last. Verify that valve springs and
bracket are properly aligned. Then tighten all three
bracket screws to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.) torque.
(24) Install module and connecting tube. Be sure
long end of tube goes to module (Fig. 111). Tighten
module screws to 4 Nzm (35 in. lbs.) torque.
(25) Install throttle lever in valve body. Then in-
stall manual lever over throttle lever and start man-
ual lever into valve body.
(26) Align manual lever detent with detent ball
and align lever arm with manual valve. Hold throttle
lever upward. Then press down on manual lever un-
til lever is fully seated.
(27) Install manual lever seal, washer and retain-
ing E-clip.
(28) Lubricate shaft of manual lever with light
coat of petroleum jelly. This will help protect seal lip
when manual shaft seal is installed.
(29) Verify that throttle lever is aligned with end
of kickdown valve stem and that manual lever arm is
engaged in manual valve (Fig. 123).(30) If line pressure and/or throttle pressure ad-
justment screw settings were not disturbed, continue
with overhaul or reassembly. However, if adjustment
screw settingsweremoved or changed, readjust as
described in Valve Body Control Pressure Adjustment
procedure.
VALVE BODY CONTROL PRESSURE
ADJUSTMENTS
There are two control pressure adjustments on the
valve body which are, line pressure and throttle pres-
sure.
The two pressures are interdependent because each
affects shift quality and timing. Each pressure ad-

21 - 154 30RH/32RH TRANSMISSION OVERHAULJ

justment must be performed properly and in the cor-
rect sequence. The correct sequence is line pressure
adjustment first and throttle pressure adjustment
last.
Line Pressure Adjustment
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 124).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an approxi-
mate setting. Because of manufacturing toler-
ances, it may be necessary to vary from this
dimension to obtain desired pressure.
One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes
line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa). Turn-
ing the adjusting screw counterclockwise increases
pressure while turning the screw clockwise decreases
pressure.
Throttle Pressure Adjustment
Insert Gauge Tool C-3763 between the throttle le-
ver cam and the kickdown valve stem (Fig. 125).
Push the gauge tool inward to compress the kick-
down valve against the spring and bottom the throt-
tle valve.
Maintain pressure against kickdown valve spring.
Turn throttle lever stop screw until the screw head
touches throttle lever tang and the throttle lever cam
touches gauge tool.
The kickdown valve spring must be fully com-
pressed and the kickdown valve completely
bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY TIPS
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to en-
ter the case or transmission components during as-
sembly. Keep the transmission case and componentsclean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for assembly are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off your hands and
service tools must be made oflint freematerials.
Lint will adhere to transmission parts and could in-
terfere with valve operation, or even restrict fluid
passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with Mopar
ATF Plus during reassembly. Use Mopar Door-Ease,
or Ru-Glyde on seals and O-rings to ease installation.
Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold thrust
washers and plates in position during assembly oper-
ations. However,do notuse chassis grease, bearing
grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any
transmission 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. Most of the transmis-
sion components are easily installed by hand when
properly aligned. If a part seems extremely difficult
to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly assem-
bled. Also verify that thrust washers, thrust plates
and seal rings are correctly positioned before assem-
bly. These parts can interfere with proper assembly if
mispositioned or ``left out'' by accident.

and cam with ATF Plus transmission fluid.
REAR BAND, LOW-REVERSE DRUM AND REAR
SUPPORT INSTALLATION
A different rear band and linkage is used in 30RH
and 32RH transmissions.
The 30RH transmission has a single wrap rear
band, one pivot pin and a band link to connect the
lever (Fig. 129). The lever adjusting screw is in direct
contact with the servo piston. A strut is used to con-
nect the lever to the band lug.
