ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If the transmission assembly is being reconditioned (clutch/seal replacement) or replaced, it is necessary to perform the Quick Learn Procedure using the scan tool (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
NOTE: The Low/Reverse Clutch Piston has bonded seals which are not individually serviceable. Seal replacement requires replacement of the piston assembly.
CAUTION: When installing, be sure guide bracket and split sleeve touch the rear of the transmission case.
Check output bearing preload. Output bearing preload must be checked and/or adjusted if any of the following items have been replaced:
- Output shaft (rear carrier assembly)
- Output shaft bearings
- Transmission case
PRELOAD CHECK/SHIM SELECTION:
CAUTION: The output shaft will extend through the hole of Support Plate 6618A. Ensure your press table has clearance for the output shaft.
CAUTION: Do not re-use old output shaft nut because the removed stake weakens the nut flange. Using Wrenches 6497 and 6498-A, install new output shaft nut. Tighten new output shaft nut to 271 N·m (200 ft. lbs.).

CAUTION: Failure to stake nut could allow the nut to back-off during use.
Low/Reverse clutch pack clearance is 0.84 to 1.60 mm (0.033 to 0.063 inch).
NOTE: The 2/4 Clutch Piston has bonded seals which are not individually serviceable. Seal replacement requires replacement of the piston assembly.
NOTE: Verify that Compressor 5058A (1) is centered properly over the 2/4 clutch retainer (4) before compressing. If necessary, fasten the bar from Compressor 5058A to the bellhousing flange with any combination of locking pliers and bolts to center the tool properly.
Measure 2/4 clutch clearance:The 2/4 clutch pack clearance is 0.76 to 2.64 mm (0.030 to 0.104 inch).There is no adjustment for the 2/4 clutch clearance.
The number 7 needle bearing has three antireversal tabs and is common with the number 5 and number 2 position. The orientation should allow the bearing to seat flat against the rear sun gear. A small amount of petrolatum can be used to hold the bearing to the rear sun gear.
If the speed sensor tone wheel is not centered in the opening, the input clutches assembly is not seated properly.
Use screw-in dowels or Phillips head screwdrivers to align pump to case. Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.
Input shaft end play must be 0.127 to 0.635 mm (0.005 to 0.025 inch).
CAUTION: By-pass valve MUST be replaced if transmission failure occurs.
NOTE: To align oil pump, gasket, and case during installation, use threaded dowels or Phillips screwdrivers.
CAUTION: Do not handle the valve body by the manual shaft. Damage could result.
NOTE: Before installing the oil pan bolt in the bolt hole located between the torque converter clutch on and U/D clutch pressure tap circuits , it will be necessary to replenish the sealing patch on the bolt using Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive.
NOTE: Before installing either speed sensor bolt, it will be necessary to replenish the sealing patch on the bolt using Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive.
Input shaft end play must be 0.127 to 0.635 mm (0.005 to 0.025 inch).
NOTE: Before installing the lowermost four adapter/extension housing bolts, it will be necessary to replenish the sealing patch on the bolts using Mopar® Lock & Seal Adhesive.
