2:
Remove and thoroughly clean
the pan, then remove the fluid screen
and clip from the transmission. Clean
the inside of the pan. Do not
attempt to clean the filter. If
dirty install a new one. Discard
the pan gasket. Remove all gasket
material from pan and pan mounting
face of case.
3. Loosen the front servo adjusting
screw locknut two full turns.
4. Pull back on the actuating lever,
then insert the Gauge Block Tool

between the
servo piston stem and adjusting
screw.
Tighten the adjusting screw until
the
wr~nch
overruns (this should be
exactly 10 in. lbs). Remove the gauge
block. Tighten the adjusting screw an
additional
!
turn. Hold the adjusting
screw stationary and tighten the
locknut to specifications.
5. Install the transmission fluid
screen and clip. Install the pan, using
a new gasket.
6. Refill the transmission.
7. Start the engine and engage the
transmission in each drive range to fill
all fluid passages, then place the
selector in the "P" position. Check
the fluid level and add enough fluid
to bring the level above the ADD
mark on the dipstick with engine
running at idle speed.
REAR BAND ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove all dirt from the adjust-
ing screw threads, then oil the

LUBRICATE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION KICKDOWN
LINKAGE
Lubricate all pivot points in the
kickdown linkage with the specified
engine oil.
LUBRICATE FRONT SUSPENSION
BALL JOINTS
Wipe any
accumula~ed
dirt from
around the lubrication plugs.
Remove the plugs and install lub-
rication fittings. Lubricate the ball
joints using a maximum of 10 grams
(one level teaspoon) of the specified
lubricant and remove the lubrication
fittings. Install the plugs.
LUBRICATE UPPER ARM INNER
BUSHES
Refer to Part 19, Maintenance
Schedule, for recommended fre-
quency of lubrication.
By utilising the access holes in the
suspension towers, wipe off any
accumUlated dirt from around the
lubrication fittings and lubricate the
inner bushes using a maximum of
3.2 grams per bushing.
CHECK STEERING GEAR PRE-
LOAD POWER STEERING ONLY
To check and adjust the power
steering gear pre-load it is necessary
to remove the steering box from the
vehicle and carry out the operation
on the
bench.
See page 3-36
CHECK STEERING GEAR PRELOAD
MANUAL STEERING ONLY
There are only two possible adjust-
threads.
2. Loosen the reverse band adjust-
ing screw lock nut. Use the
tool
shown in Figure 36 to loosen
the
nut.
Using the torque wrench shown in
Fig. 38 tighten the adjusting screw
until the tool handle clicks. The tool
is a preset torque wrench which
clicks and breaks when the torque on
the adjusting screw reached 10 ft.lbs.
3. If the screw is found to
be
tight-
er than wrench capacity (10 ft.
lbs
torque), loosen the screw and tighten
until the wrench clicks and breaks.
4. Back off the adjusting screw
It
turns. Hold the adjusting screw
stationary and tighten the adjusting
screw lock nut to 35-40 ft.lbs torque.
Severe damage may result if the
adjusting screw is not backed off
exactly
1l
turns.
CHECK REAR AXLE FLUID LEVEL
The lubricant level should be
maintained at
·
t he lower.edge of the
filler plug hole with the specified
lubricant.
CLUTCH LINKAGE (MANUAL

There is no adjustment required or
provided for on any of the clutch
systems. The only maintenance re-
quired is to top up the master

ments within the recirculating ball-
type steering gear, and these should
be made in the following order to
avoid damage or gear failure.
1. Loosen the nut which locks the
sector adjusting screw
(Fig.
38), and
turn
the adjusting screw counter-
clockwise.
2. Measure the worm bearing pre-
load by attaching an in. lb. torque
wrench to the steering wheel nut
(Fig. 37). With the steering wheel off
centre, read the pull required to
rotate the input shaft approximately
1
t
turns either side of centre. If the
torque or preload is not within speci-
cation (Part 3-6), adjust as explained
in the next step.
3. Loosen the steering shaft
