Pig. 136 Manual And Throttle Lever Alignment
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
T h e 33.4 mm (1-5/18 in.) setting is an approxi­
mate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may
make it 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). Turning the ad­
justing screw counterclockwise increases pres­
sure while turning the screw clockwise
decreases pressure.

Throttle Pressure Adjustment
Insert Gauge Tool C-3763 between the t h r o t t l e le­
ver cam and the kickdown valve stem (Fig. 138).
Push the gauge tool i n w a r d to compress the kick-
down valve against the spring and bottom the throt­
tle valve.
M a i n t a i n pressure against kickdown valve spring.
T u r n throttle lever stop screw u n t i l the screw head
touches throttle lever t a n g 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
Assembly Tips
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to en­
ter the case or transmission components d u r i n g as­
sembly. Keep the transmission case and components
clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench area
used for reassembly operations are equally clean.
Shop towels used for w i p i n g off tools and your
hands must be made from
lint free
materials. L i n t
w i l l stick to transmission parts and could interfere
w i t h valve operation or even restrict f l u i d passages.
Lubricate transmission clutch and gear components
w i t h Mopar A T F Plus d u r i n g reassembly. Soak clutch
discs i n transmission f l u i d before installation.
Use Mopar Door Ease, or Ru-Glyde on seals and O-
rings to ease installation. Petroleum jelly can be used
to hold t h r u s t washers and plates i n position d u r i n g
assembly operations.
Do not use chassis grease, bearing grease,
white grease, or similar lubricants on any 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. The transmission
components and sub-assemblies are easily installed
by hand when properly aligned. I f a part seems dif­
ficult to install, i t is either misaligned or incorrectly
assembled. Verify t h a t t h r u s t washers, t h r u s t plates
and seal rings are correctly positioned. These parts
w i l l prevent proper assembly is mispositioned (or
"left out" by accident).
The planetary geartrain, front/rear clutch assem­
blies and oil pump are all much easier to install
when the transmission case is upright or as close to
this position as possible. Either t i l t the case upward
w i t h wood blocks, or cut a hole i n the bench large
