(5) Slide the bolt out of the housing to remove the
parking sprag and spring (Fig. 59).
lnstullution
(1) Position the sprag and spring in the housing
and insert the bolt (Fig. 59). Make sure the square
lug on the sprag is toward the gear and the spring is
positioned so as to lift the sprag away from the park-
ing gear.
(2) Position the lock lever, spacer and cable adapt-
er assembly in the extension housing and install the
lever shaft (Fig. 58). The lever roller must be on top
of the sprag so as to push it into engagement with
the support gear. Install and tighten the plug to 150
inch-pounds torque.
(3) Insert a small punch through the cable opening
in the adapter cover and into end of the adapter.
Carefully lower the cover into position, feeding the
adapter into the cable opening in the cover. Install
the cover retaining screws and tighten to 150 inch-
pounds torque.
(4)
Install the extension housing, transmission
flange and connect the propeller shaft.
(5) Connect and adjust the parking lock cable. Re-
fer to Page 58.
VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY AND
ACCUMULATOR PISTON
Removul
(1) Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
(2) Loosen the oil pan bolts, tap the pan to break
it
loose allowing the fluid to drain, then remove the
oil pan.
(3) Loosen the clamp bolt and lift the throttle lever
and washer off the transmission throttle lever shaft.
(4)
Disconnect the gearshift control cable. Refer to
Page 57. Shift the valve body manual lever to ex-
pose the E-clip securing the cable adapter to the lever
(Fig. 30). Remove the E-clip and disengage the cable
adapter from the manual lever.
(5) Place a drain pan under the transmission, then
remove the ten hex-head valve body to transmission
case bolts. Hold the valve body in position while re-
moving the bolts.
(6)
Lower the valve body assembly down out of the
transmission, being careful not to cock the throttle
lever shaft in the case hole or lose the accumulator
spring.
(7) Withdraw the accumulator piston from the
transmission case. Inspect the piston for scoring, and
the rings for wear or breakage. Replace as required.
NOTE:
Servicing the valve body assembly is out-
lined on Page 81.
lnstullution
(1) Clean the mating surfaces and inspect for burrs
on both the transmission case and valve body steel
plate.
(2) Install the accumulator piston in the transmis-
sion case.
(3) Position the accumulator spring on the valve
body.
(4)
Carefully position the valve body assembly in
the transmission case, install the retaining bolts and
tighten finger tight. With the neutral starting switch
installed, place the manual valve in the neutral posi-
tion. Shift the valve body if necessary to center the
neutral finger over the neutral switch plunger. Snug
the bolts down evenly, then tighten to 100 inch-
pounds torque.
(5) Connect the control cable adapter to the valve
body manual lever and install the retaining E-clip.
Connect the gearshift control cable. Refer to Page 57.
(6) Install the seal, flat washer and throttle lever on
the throttle shaft. Tighten the clamping bolt. Inspect
the throttle lever for looseness by forcing it in both
directions.
(7) Install the oil pan, using a new gasket.
(8) Add fluid to the transmission to bring it up to
proper level. Refer to Page
49.
TRANSMISSION AND CONVERTER
TORQUEFLITE A-904-G, A-904-LA,
A-727-A AND B
Removul
CAUTION: The transmission and converter must
be removed as an assembly; otherwise, the convert-
er drive plate, front pump bushing, and oil seal will
be damaged. The drive plate will not support a
load; therefore, none of the weight of the trans-
mission should be allowed to rest on the plate dur-
ing removal.
To remove the A-727-A and B transmission on the
121Y2 inch wheelbase Plymouth Station Wagon, it
will be necessary to first remove the torsion bar rear
anchor crossmember and rubber isolators. Refer to
Group 2, "Torsion Bar Rubber Isolators," then re-
move the transmission as follows:
(1) Connect a remote control starter switch, Tool
C-763 to the starter solenoid and position the switch
so the engine can be rotated from under the vehicle.
(2) Disconnect the high tension wire from the dis-
tributor cap.
Place the selector lever in the PARK po-
sition.
(3)
Remove the cover plate from in front of the
