The two pivot cranks are joined by a connecting link,
and a drive link connects the motor crank to the drive
link near the left pivot. Pressed-in plastic bushings in
the ends of the links can be replaced if worn or dam-
aged.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR
The two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motor
is mounted to the engine side of the cowl panel with
a reinforcement/stud plate and a rubber-isolated
mounting bracket. The wiper motor output shaft
passes through the cowl panel into the cowl plenum
area, where a crank arm attached to the output shaft
drives the wiper drive link.
Wiper speed is controlled by current flow to the ap-
propriate set of brushes. The wiper motor completes
its wipe cycle when the switch is turned OFF, and
parks the blades in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern. The wiper motor assembly can not be re-
paired. If faulty, the entire motor assembly must be
replaced. The crank arm, mounting bracket, and re-
inforcement/stud plate are available for service.
LIFTGATE WIPER MOTOR
The liftgate wiper motor contains integral elec-
tronic controls and a transmission to provide three
operating modes:
²intermittent wipe with a fixed 5 to 8 second delay
between wipes
²constant wipe that operates when the liftgate
washer is operated
²a park mode that runs the motor until the wiper
blade reaches the park position after the liftgate
wiper switch or ignition switch is turned OFF.
The liftgate wiper motor can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.
WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
Controls for the windshield wiper and washer sys-
tems are contained in the multi-function switch con-
trol lever. The multi-function switch is mounted on
the left side of the steering column between the
steering wheel and the instrument panel. This switch
also controls many other functions. The multi-func-
tion switch can not be repaired. If any function of the
switch is faulty, the entire switch must be replaced.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
The single two-function switch on the instrument
panel right of the steering column controls the lift-
gate wiper and washer functions. The rocker-type
switch features a detent in the WIPE position, but
only momentary contact in the WASH position. Both
the liftgate wiper and liftgate washer motors will op-
erate continuously for as long as the switch is held in
the WASH position. The switch can not be repaired;
if faulty, it must be replaced.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODULE
In addition to low and high speed, the optional inter-
mittent wipe system has a delay mode. The delay mode
has a range of 2 to 15 seconds. The length of the delay
is selected with a variable resistor in the wiper (multi-
function) switch and is accomplished by electronic cir-
cuitry within the intermittent wipe module. If the
washer knob is depressed while the wiper (multi-func-
tion) switch is in the OFF position, the intermittent
wipe module will operate the wiper motor for approxi-
mately 2 wipes and automatically turn the motor off.
The intermittent wipe module is mounted to the
lower instrument panel, behind the knee blocker and
near the steering column with a hook and loop fas-
tener patch. The module can not be repaired.
WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES
The two fluidic washer nozzles are riveted into
openings in the cowl grille panel below the wind-
shield and are not adjustable. Washer fluid is fed to
the nozzles through hoses clipped to the underside of
the cowl grille panel. The nozzles can not be repaired
and, if faulty, should be replaced.
LIFTGATE WASHER NOZZLE
The single liftgate washer nozzle snaps into place
on the liftgate wiper arm. Washer fluid is fed to the
nozzle from the washer reservoir in the engine com-
partment. A liftgate washer hose system is routed
through the body of the vehicle with the body wiring
harness from the reservoir to the liftgate. The fluid
passes through a nipple on the liftgate wiper motor
output shaft bezel to a hose clipped to the underside
of the wiper arm. The nozzle can not be repaired and,
if faulty, should be replaced.
WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer solvent reservoir is mounted to the left
front inner fender shield near the cowl panel. The
same reservoir is used for both the standard front
and optional liftgate washer systems. It also has a
provision for a low washer fluid level sensor. Refer to
Group 8E - Instrument Panel and Gauges for diagno-
sis and service of the sensor. The reservoir and filler
cap are available for service.
WASHER PUMPS
The washer pump and motor are press-fit into a
rubber grommet near the bottom of the washer res-
ervoir. Vehicles with the optional liftgate wiper/
washer system have two pumps installed in the
single reservoir. A permanently lubricated and sealed
motor is coupled to a rotor-type pump. Washer fluid
is gravity fed from the reservoir to the pump. The
pump then pressurizes the fluid and forces it through
the plumbing to the nozzles when the motor is ener-
gized. The pump and motor can not be repaired. If
faulty, the entire assembly must be replaced.

WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
Controls for the windshield wiper and washer sys-
tems are contained in the turn signal switch lever.
The turn signal switch lever is mounted on the left
side of the steering column between the steering
wheel and the instrument panel. The wiper/washer
switch can not be repaired. If any function of the
switch is faulty, the entire switch must be replaced.
LIFTGATE WIPER/WASHER SWITCH
The single two-function switch on the instrument
panel right of the steering column controls the lift-
gate wiper and washer functions. The rocker-type
switch features a detent in the WIPE position, but
only momentary contact in the WASH position. Both
the liftgate wiper and liftgate washer motors will op-
erate continuously for as long as the switch is held in
the WASH position. The switch can not be repaired;
if faulty, it must be replaced.
INTERMITTENT WIPE MODULE
In addition to low and high speed, the optional in-
termittent wipe system has a delay mode. The delay
mode has a range of 2 to 15 seconds. The length of
the delay is selected with a variable resistor in the
wiper switch and is accomplished by electronic cir-
cuitry within the intermittent wipe module. If the
washer knob is depressed while the wiper switch is
in the OFF position, the intermittent wipe module
will operate the wiper motor for approximately 2
wipes and automatically turn the motor off.
The intermittent wipe module is mounted to a
bracket behind the lower instrument panel, near the
steering column with a hook and loop fastener patch.
The module can not be repaired.
WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES
The two fluidic washer nozzles are screwed into
openings in the cowl panel below the windshield and
are not adjustable. Washer fluid is fed to the nozzles
through hoses underneath the cowl panel. The noz-
zles can not be repaired and, if faulty, should be re-
placed.
LIFTGATE WASHER NOZZLE
The single liftgate washer nozzle is installed
through the liftgate glass and secured with a nut on
the inside of the glass. Washer fluid is fed to the noz-
zle from the washer reservoir in the engine compart-
ment. A liftgate washer hose system is routed
through the body of the vehicle with the body wiring
harness from the reservoir to the liftgate. The nozzle
can not be repaired and, if faulty, should be replaced.
WASHER RESERVOIR
The washer solvent reservoir is mounted with a
bracket to the left front inner fender shield near the
cowl panel. The same reservoir is used for both the
standard front and optional liftgate washer systems.
The reservoir and filler cap are available for service.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
A gearÐtype positive displacement pump is
mounted at the underside of the block opposite the
No. 4 main bearing. The pump draws oil through the
screen and inlet tube from the sump at the rear of
the oil pan. The oil is driven between the drive and
idler gears and pump body, then forced through the
outlet to the block. An oil gallery in the block chan-
nels the oil to the inlet side of the full flow oil filter.
After passing through the filter element, the oil
passes from the center outlet of the filter through an
oil gallery that channels the oil up to the main gal-
lery which extends the entire length of the block.
Galleries extend downward from the main oil gal-
lery to the upper shell of each main bearing. The
crankshaft is drilled internally to pass oil from the
main bearing journals (except number 4 main bear-
ing journal) to the connecting rod journals. Each con-
necting rod bearing cap has a small squirt hole, oilpasses through the squirt hole and is thrown off as
the rod rotates. This oil throwoff lubricates the cam-
shaft lobes, distributor drive gear, cylinder walls, and
piston pins.
The hydraulic valve tappets receive oil directly
from the main oil gallery. Oil is provided to the cam-
shaft bearing through galleries. The front camshaft
bearing journal passes oil through the camshaft
sprocket to the timing chain. Oil drains back to the
oil pan under the number one main bearing cap.
The oil supply for the rocker arms and bridged
pivot assemblies is provided by the hydraulic valve
tappets which pass oil through hollow push rods to a
hole in the corresponding rocker arm. Oil from the
rocker arm lubricates the valve train components,
then passes down through the push rod guide holes
in the cylinder head past the valve tappet area, and
returns to the oil pan.

Inspection
Check the sprag shaft for scores and for free move-
ment in the housing and sprag.
Check the sprag and control rod springs for loss of
tension or distortion. Check the square lug on the
sprag for broken edges. Check the lugs on the gover-
nor support (park gear) for broken edges. Replace
any park lock components that are worn or damaged.
Check the knob on the end of the control rod for
nicks, burrs and free turning. Replace the rod if the
knob is grooved, or worn, or if the rod is bent. The
park lock rods used in Chrysler 3-speed transmis-
sions are different lengths. If the rod must be re-
placed, be sure to install the correct length and
shape rod.
COMPONENT INSTALLATION
(1) Install park lock rod on valve body.
(2) Install reaction plug and pin assembly in the
housing and install the snap ring.
(3) Position sprag and spring in housing and in-
stall sprag shaft. Be sure square lug on sprag is fac-
ing park gear and that spring is positioned so it
moves sprag away from park gear.
(4) Install valve body.
(5) Install adapter housing and transfer case.
PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH SERVICE
The starter feed circuit of the switch is through the
switch center terminal (Fig. 23). It provides a ground
for the starter solenoid circuit through the gearshift
lever in park and neutral only.
The two outer terminals of the park/neutral posi-
tion switch are for the backup lamp switch circuit.
SWITCH TEST PROCEDURE
(1) Remove wiring connector from switch.
(2) Test continuity between switch center terminal
and transmission case. Continuity should exist onlywhen transmission is in Park or Neutral. Replace
switch if continuity occurs in any gear other than
Park or Neutral.
(3) Shift into reverse and test continuity between
two outside terminals on switch. Continuity should
exist only when transmission is in reverse.
(4) Leave transmission in reverse and test continu-
ity between each switch outer terminal and transmis-
sion case. Continuity should not exist between either
pin and case in reverse.
(5) If switch tests OK, check gearshift linkage ad-
justment or backup light circuit. Replace switch if it
fails continuity tests.
SWITCH REPLACEMENT
(1) Position drain pan under neutral switch.
(2) Disconnect switch wires.
(3) Remove switch from transmission.
(4) Move shift lever to Park and Neutral positions.
Inspect manual lever fingers, lever and shaft for
proper alignment with switch opening in case. Re-
place lever if worn or bent. Do not attempt to
straighten the lever.
(5) Install new switch and seal in case. Tighten
switch to 33 Nzm (24 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Adjust transmission fluid level as required.
(7) Verify switch operation.
SPEEDOMETER SERVICE
Rear axle gear ratio and tire size determine speed-
ometer pinion requirements. If the pinion must be re-
placed, refer to the parts catalogue information for
the correct part. It is important for speedometer ac-
curacy that the pinion have the correct number of
teeth.
The speedometer assembly used in XJ models is
the new unit type (one-piece) speed sensor (Fig. 24).
However, YJ models may be equipped with either the
new unit style, or the older style that has a two-piece

Early production models will have the type 2 fit-
ting used previously. This fitting requires a release
tool to disconnect the cooler line from the fitting (Fig.
29). Later production models will have a new style
fitting that does not require any type of release tool.
This fitting has a plastic insert with built-in release
tabs (Fig. 30).
Cooler Line And Fitting Service
The cooler lines and fittings are only serviceable as
assemblies. Damaged fittings or cooler lines are to be
replaced. Fittings swedged into cooler line hoses (Fig.
31) are serviced only as part of the entire cooler hose.
DISCONNECTING COOLER LINES WITH TYPE
2 FITTING
(1) If fitting and cooler line are encrusted with
dirt, mud, or grease, clean fitting and cooler line with
Mopar spray type carburetor or brake cleaner. Plastic
release tool will not fit into retainer clip if fitting is
full of foreign material.
(2) Slide small plastic release tool into fitting until
tool bottoms against cooler line flange (Fig. 29).
(3) Push and turn release tool to spread retainer
clip and pull cooler line out of fitting (Fig. 29).
(4) Cover open ends of cooler lines and fittings to
prevent dirt entry.
(5) Inspect condition of fitting. Replace transmis-
sion fitting as an assembly if fitting body or retainerclip is damaged. Replace cooler line as assembly, if
fitting swedged into cooler line hose, is damaged.
DISCONNECTING COOLER LINES WITH NEW
STYLE FITTING
The new style fittingdoes notrequire any kind of
release tool. The fitting inserts have built-in release
tabs that only require finger pressure to release
them.
The new style fitting insert is unique. The insert
does not stay in place inside the fitting when re-
leased. Instead, the insert remains on the line and
does not have to be removed.
To release a new style fitting, simply squeeze the
insert tabs (Fig. 32) and disconnect the line. The in-
sert will remain in place on the line, or fitting and
does not have to be removed (Fig. 33).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Tires are designed for each specific vehicle. They
provide the best overall performance for normal oper-
ation. The ride and handling characteristics match
the vehicle's requirements. With proper care they
will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resis-
tance, and tread life. These tires have specific load
carrying capacities. When correctly inflated, they will
operate properly.
Tires used in cool climates, and with light loads
will have a longer life than tires used in hot climates
with heavy loads. Abrasive road surfaces will acceler-
ate tire wear.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than
any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain much
greater mileage than careless drivers.
Driving habits that shorten the life of any tire;
²Rapid acceleration and deceleration
²Severe application of brakes
²High-speed driving
²Taking turns at excessive speeds
²Striking curbs and other obstacles
It is very important to follow the tire rotation in-
terval
IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are
encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the
side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher
the tire identification code (Fig. 1).Performance tires will have a speed rating letter
after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. The letterSin-
dicates that the tire is speed rated up to 112 mph.
²Qup to 100 mph
²Tup to 118 mph
²Uup to 124 mph
²Hup to 130 mph
²Vup to 149 mph
²Zmore than 149 mph (consult the tire manufac-
turer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have eitherM+S,M
&SorMÐS(indicating mud and snow traction) im-
printed on the side wall.
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life, ride
quality and decrease rolling resistance.
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of
four. Under no circumstances should they be used on
the front only. They may be mixed with temporary
spare tires when necessary, but reduced speeds are
recommended.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capac-
ity as other types of tires of the same size. They use
the same recommended inflation pressures.
SPARE TIRE (TEMPORARY)
The compact spare tire is designed for emergency
use only. The original tire should be repaired and re-
installed at the first opportunity. Refer to Owner's
Manual for complete details.
