TRANSMISSION-TORQUEFLITE
62 X 6
Fig. 1 1 7-Measuring
Converter for Full
Engagement in Transmission
The drive plate will not support a load; therefore,
none of the weight of the transmission should be
allowed to rest on the plate during installation.
(1)
Rotate the front pump rotors with Tool C-3756
(A-904-G and A-904-LA) or Tool C-3881 (A-727-A and
B) until the two small holes in the handle are verti-
cal (Fig. 116).
(2)
Carefully slide the converter assembly over the
input shaft and reaction shaft. Make sure the convert-
er impeller shaft slots are also vertical and fully en-
gage the front pump inner rotor lugs.
Test for full engagement by placing a straight edge
on the face of the case (Fig. 117). The surface of the
converter front cover lug should be at least
Y 2
inch
to the rear of the straight edge when the converter is
pushed all the way into the transmission.
(3) Attach a small "C" clamp to the edge of the bell
housing to hold the converter in place during the
transmission installation.
(4)
Inspect the converter drive plate for distortion
or cracks and replace if necessary.
(5)
Coat the converter hub hole in the crankshaft
with wheel bearing grease. Place the transmission and
converter assembly on a service jack and position the
assembly under the vehicle for installation. Raise or
tilt as necessary until the transmission is aligned with
the engine.
(6) Rotate the converter so the mark on the con-
verter (made during removal) will align with the mark
on the drive plate. The offset holes in the plate are
located next to the
9"
inch hole in the inner circle of
the plate. A stamped V mark identifies the offset hole
in
the converter front cover (Fig. 118). Carefully work
the transmission assembly forward over the engine
block dowels with the converter hub entering the
crankshaft opening.
(7) After the transmission is in position, install the
bell housing bolts and tighten 25 to 30 foot-pounds
torque.
(8) Install and tighten the two lower drive plate to
converter bolts to 270 inch-pounds torque.
(9) Install the starting motor and connect the bat-
tery ground cable.
(10) Rotate the engine with the remote control
switch and install the other two drive plate to con-
verter bolts. Tighten the bolts to 270 inch-pounds
torque.
(11) Install the crossmember, insulator and spring
assembly. Tighten the crossmember attaching bolts
to 75 foot-pounds torque. Lower the transmission
so
the extension housing rests on, and is aligned with
the insulator. Install the insulator to extension hous-
ing bolts and tighten to 35 foot-pounds torque.
(12) Insert a screw driver through the parking lock
cover plug opening and position
it
behind the cable
adapter stop washer (Fig. 28). Hold the adapter out-
ward while pushing the cable in as far as possible,
making sure the lock-spring engages the cable. Gently
pull outward on the cable housing to
its
limit of travel,
release, then tighten the clamp bolt to 10 inch-pounds
torque. Remove the screw driver and reinstall the plug
in the cover.
(13) A-904-G

A-904-LA: Connect the propeller
shaft to the front universal joint.
