B-l. GENERAL
All
'Jeep' Universal vehicles require periodic
lubri
cation and other maintenance services for normal
vehicle
usage
and application to promote satis factory operation and prevent
excessive
wear. Un
der severe operating or atmospheric conditions
these
services should be performed more
often
than
under normal conditions. It should also be remem
bered that common short trips and

Engine Oil
For
maximum
engine
protection under all driving conditions encountered during the recommended
oil
change intervals, it is necessary to use only
"MS"
certified
sequence-tested
oils. The term
"MS"
must appear on the oil container singly or
in
conjunction with other designations. "MS" des
ignated oils are heavy-duty detergent oils that are
formulated to withstand all service conditions in
modern powerplants. Engine oils designated only
as
"ML"
and/or
"MM"
are not recommended and should not be used except in an emergency when
"MS"
oil is not available. Certified
sequence-tested
engine
oils are described on their containers by
such
phrases as:
meets,
exceeds,
excels, or has
proven superior in the
test
requirements,
test
sequences, MS Service
tests,
standards, and service
requirements,
of automotive manufacturers, auto
makers,
or car manufacturers for MS service or
Service
MS.
It
may be necessary to change
engine
oil more
frequently than normally recommended, depending upon the type and quality of oil used, the severity
of operation conditions, if the
engine
is used for
short
periods in cold weather, or if the
engine
is allowed to idle for excessive periods.
Always
drain
the crankcase while the
engine
is hot since
dirt
and contaminants are then more
likely
to be held in suspension and therefore
will
drain
out more completely.
Drain
the crankcase as follows:
a.
Position the
drain
receptacle under the
drain
plug.
b.
Remove the
drain
plug using the correct size
wrench.
Be careful of hot oil.
c.
Carefully
clean the
drain
plug. Inspect and
replace
the gasket, if deteriorated.
d.
When the oil has drained, replace and tighten
the crankcase
drain
plug. 12

solvent.
Wrap
the polyurethane element in a clean
dry
cloth and
squeeze
to remove all possible sol
vent. Do not wring the element or it may
become
torn.
After cleaning, oil the polyurethane element
liberally
with
engine
oil
(SAE
10W30) and
squeeze
to evenly distribute the oil through the element and to remove
excess
oil. The element should be damp
with
oil, not dripping.
Install
the polyurethane element on the paper element, taking care to have
edges
of the polyurethane element over the plastic end plates of the paper element.
Replace
the complete air cleaner element assembly every
24,000
miles
[38.400
km.]. Replace more
frequently if there is any apparent damage or evidence of plugging.
The
crankcase ventilation filter should be replaced, not cleaned, every
6,000
miles
[9.600
km.]. The
filter
is located inside the air cleaner housing.

Cooling System
Check
the coolant level in the
radiator.
It should be
half
an inch below the neck. If not,
fill
the radiator
to
half
inch below the neck with the proper coolant.
Refer
to Section G.
If
the level of the coolant is abnormally low, check
the radiator,
hoses
and water pump for possible
leaks.
If a leak is suspected, refer to Section G.

General
All
transfer cases and transmissions should be
serviced
separately even though drilled passages
are
provided for oil circulation
between
some
trans
mission and the transfer case housings. Procedure
from
the appropriate Par. below should be fol lowed to check the lubricant level of the various
types
of transfer cases and transmissions.
If
the transfer case or transmission fluid levels
are
found to be abnormally low, check both units
for any possible leaks.
B-32.
Transfer
Case
:
The
transfer case fill-hole is located on the right side of the transfer case housing. To check the
lubricant
level, remove the
fill
plug.
Lubricant
should be level with this fill-hole. If not, bring up to level by adding make-up lubricant as specified
in
the
Lubrication
Specifications.
B-33.
Transmission
The
transmission fill-hole is located on the right side of the transmission housing. To check the
lubricant
level, remove the
fill
plug.
Lubricant
should be level with this fill-hole. If not, bring
up to level by adding make-up
lubricant
as specified
in
the
Lubrication
Specifications.

General
Transfer
case and transmission lubricants should
be changed at the same time.
B-36.
Transfer
Case
To
drain
the transfer case, first remove the transfer
case fill-hole plug and then the transfer case
drain-
hole
plug. Let all fluid
drain
from case.
Then
install
the transfer case drainhole plug, and
refill
the
transfer
case through the fill-hole using the correct
lubricant
as specified in the
Lubrication
Specifica
tions.
At
30,000
mile
[48,000
km.] intervals lube the
transfer
case shift levers with
Lubriplate
No.

Late
models have a lube fitting. To lube
older models, (without lube fitting) remove the
bottom
cover of the case, clean thoroughly and
pack
case
full
of lubricant.
B-37.
Transmission (3-Speed)
To
change the lubricant on all vehicles equipped
with
a three speed synchromesh transmission,
drain
the old fluid by first removing the fill-hole plug
and
then removing the drainhole plug. Since on
some
transmissions there are drilled passages be tween the transmission and transfer case that allow
oil
to circulate
between
the two units, the transfer
case should be drained before refilling the trans
mission.
When
all the fluid is completely drained, replace
the drainhole plugs only. For the correct specifi
cations and quantity, refer to the
Lubrication
Specifications. 15

PRESTOLITE
DISTRIBUTOR
—
DAUNTLESS
V-6 and
HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE
The
Prestolite distributor on the F4
engine
is
mounted on the right
side
of the
engine
and is op
erated by a coupling on the oil pump shaft, see Fig.
D-l,
which is driven by a spiral gear on the cam
shaft. The spark advance is fully automatic, being controlled by built-in centrifugal
weights.
The Pres
tolite
distributor on the V-6
engine
(Fig. H-8) is mounted at the
left
front of the
engine
on the tim
ing chain cover. It is driven by a spiral gear on the
camshaft. The spark advance is fully automatic,
being controlled by built-in centrifugal
weights,
and by a vacuum advance system. While
some
parts of the distributor may be checked or replaced
with the unit mounted on the
engine,
it is
best
to periodically remove it for a thorough check. Infor mation covering the parts which can be serviced
without removal is
given
below.
The
Prestolite distributor installed on the V-6 en
gine
is similar in construction to the distributor in
stalled on the F4
engines
except
for the addition of
a
vacuum advance mechanism.
The
same checking procedures outlined in Par. C- 10a, are used for the Prestolite V-6 distributor with
exception
of specifications.
H-10. Distributor Cap
The
distributor cap should be inspected for cracks,
carbon runners and
evidence
of arcing. If any of
these
conditions
exists, the cap should be replaced.
Clean
any corroded high
tension
terminals.
H-11.
Rotor
Inspect the rotor for cracks or
evidence
of
excessive
burning at the end of the metal strip.
After a distributor rotor has had normal use the
end of the rotor will
become
burned. If burning is found on top of the rotor it indicates the rotor is
too short and
needs
replacing. Usually when this condition is found the distributor cap

the down psoition. The bulb can be changed by
removing
the clear plastic lens. On early production
vehicles the license plate light is integral with the
tail
light assembly.
H-137.
Horn
The
horn is mounted under the hood on the
left
front
fender. The horn is sounded by pressing the
button located at the top center of the steering
wheel.
To
remove the horn wire, disconnect the wire at
the snap connection at the base of the steering
column.
Pull
off the rubber horn button cap and
the brass contact cap from the steering wheel nut.
This

the
Dauntless V-6
engine
have
two
single speed wind
shield wiper motors mounted above
the
windshield inside
the
vehicle. The wiper motors
are
operated
and
controlled
by a
switch located
on the
instru
ment panel.
Current
production vehicles with stationary wind
shield have
a
two-speed
electric windshield wiper motor mounted below
the
windshield outside
the
vehicle on the driver's side. The wiper motor switch is located
on the
instrument panel
to the
left
of
the steering column.

Two-Speed Wiper Motor
The
two-speed
electric wiper motor
is
operated and
controlled
by a

type, three poled, dash switch,
containing
a 6
amp. circuit breaker.
Current
flow
is directed from
the
battery through
the

GENERAL
A
three speed synchromesh transmission is standard
equipment on all 'Jeep' Universal vehicles.
The
models T90 and T96 transmissions are used
with
the
Hurricane
F4 engine, and models
T86AA
and
T14A transmissions are used with the Daunt
less
V-6 engine. All model transmissions are similar
in
design with exception of the T14A which is a
fully
synchronized (all forward gears) transmission
with
helical drive gears throughout.
The
transmission assembly is attached to the
rear
face of the flywheel bell housing and is supported on a rubber insulator at the frame center cross member which forms the
rear
engine
support.
All
4-wheel-drive vehicles are equipped with a
transfer
case attached to the
rear
of the transmission.
Transfer
case service and repair procedures
are
described in Section
K.
Models
CJ-5A,
and
CJ-6A
are equipped with the
same transmission, but with a remote control shift.
Models DJ-5 and DJ-6 are equipped with a similar
transmission,
however, the construction is
some
what different because it is not designed to receive a transfer case for four-wheel drive.
For
DJ-5 and DJ-6 2WD vehicles, the trans mission repair procedures begin with Par. J-12.
J-2.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTING CONTROL
The
shift of the three-speed transmission is smooth
and
positive. The cane control lever shifts the trans
mission gears direct from the shift control housing
mounted to the top side of the transmission housing.
The
remote control lever shifts the transmission
gears through remote control rods attached to the
adjusting
levers of the shift shafts protruding from the left side of the transmission housing. Poppet
balls and springs retain the transmission gears in mesh and an interlocking mechanism prevents
shifting into two gears at the same time.
J-3.
Transmission Remote Control Adjustment
•
Early
CJ-5A,
CJ-6A
First
disconnect the transmission shift rods from the remote control levers.
Check
for binding of
the remote control shaft on the steering column
and
make the necessary corrections to eliminate any binding condition.
If
the shift is not smooth and positive, first make
sure
the gears are in neutral position then remove
the shift rods at the transmission by removing
clevis pins, Fig. J-l No. 17, and slip a short piece
of snug fitting 34" [6,35 mm.] aligning rod, through
the gearshift levers and housing as shown in insert
drawing.
This
places the clutch and shift lever assemblies
in
the neutral position. Adjust the shift rod yokes
at the transmission end, so clevis pins can be in stalled freely without moving the shift levers on the
transmission after which remove alignment pin.
If
shifting from first to second is difficult or trans
mission hangs in first gear, shorten the low and
reverse shift rod one
turn
at a time until the con
dition is corrected. Usually three turns are re
quired.
Should
the fault continue after completing the above adjustment, check further as outlined below.
First
remove the lubricating fitting. Use a narrow
feeler
gauge
which
will
enter the opening for the
lubricator
and check the clearance
between
the
faces of the shifting clutches.
This
clearance should
be .015" to .031", [W to W]
[0,397-0,794
mm.]. If
this clearance is greater the assembly must be removed for adjustment. The shift dog, which
engages
the clutch slots, should not have more than .009" [0,229 mm.] clearance in the slots. If the clear
ance
between
the clutch
grooves
and cross pins is
too great,
these
parts must be replaced.
