TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL-42RH 21 - 277
(47) Lubricate intermediate shaft splines and bushing
surfaces with transmission fluid or petroleum jelly.
(48) Install overdrive unit. Be sure governor tubes
are aligned with feed holes in piston retainer boss.
Note that intermediate shaft is snug fit in overdrive
planetary gear and overrunning clutch. If overdrive
unit will not seat fully, rotate overdrive output shaft
slightly to align splines and try again.
(49) Apply 1-2 drops of Mopar thread adhesive (or
Loctite 242) to overdrive unit attaching bolts. Then
install and tighten bolts to 34 N« (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(50) Install accumulator inner spring, piston and
outer spring (Fig. 161).

Springs—42RH
(51) Verify t h a t park/neutral position switch has
not been installed in case. Valve body can not be in­
stalled if switch is in position.
(52) Install valve body as follows:
(a) Start park rod into park pawl. If rod will not
slide past park pawl, pawl is engaged in park gear.
Rotate overdrive output shaft with socket to free
pawl and allow rod to engage.
(b) Align and seat valve body on case. Be sure
manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are
fully seated in case.
(c) Install and start all valve body attaching
bolts by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a di­
agonal pattern to 12 N»m (105 in. lbs.) torque. D o
n o t overtighten v a l v e b o d y bolts. T h i s could
result in distortion and cross leakage after in­
stallation..
(53) Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter
screws to 4 N*m (35 in. lbs.).
(54) Adjust front and rear bands as follows:
(a) Loosen band adjusting screw locknuts.
(b) Tighten each band adjusting screw to 5 Nnn
(72 in. lbs.) with torque wrench.
(c) Back off front band adjusting screw 2-1/2 turns.
(d) Back off rear band screw 4 turns.
(e) Tighten each adjusting screw locknut. Hold
adjusting screws with wrench to prevent turning
when tightening locknut.
(55) Install seal on park/neutral position switch
(Fig. 162). Then install and tighten switch to 34 N«m
(25 ft. lbs.).

(56) Install magnet in oil pan. Magnet goes on
small protrusion at corner of pan.
(57) Position new oil pan gasket on case and in­
stall oil pan. Tighten pan bolts to 17 N*m (13 ft. lbs.).
(58) Install new valve body manual shaft seal in
case (Fig. 163). Lubricate seal lip and manual shaft
with petroleum jelly. Start seal over shaft and into
case. Seat seal with 15/16 inch, deep well socket.
(59) Install throttle valve and shift selector levers
on valve body manual lever shaft.
(60) Cap or cover transmission openings (cooler line
fittings, filler tube bore, etc.) to prevent dirt entry.
(61) Install torque converter. Use C-clamp or metal
strap to hold converter in place for installation.
(62) Mount transmission on jack for installation in
vehicle.
(63) Apply dielectric grease to terminal pins of so­
lenoid case connector and neutral switch.
C A U T I O N : The transmission cooler and lines must
be reverse flushed if overhaul corrected a malfunc­
tion that generated sludge, metal particles, or
clutch friction material. The torque converter should
also be replaced if contaminated by the same mal­
function. Debris and residue not flushed from the
cooler and lines will flow back into the transmission
and converter. The result could be a repeat failure
and shop comeback.
