WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

1. Lubricate the brake pedal bushings with Mopar(R) Lubriplate or equivalent.
2. If removed, slide a bushing in each side of the pedal until the bushing shoulder contacts the pedal pivot.
3. Install the brake pedal and bushings into the pedal mounting bracket by sliding the pedal between the sides of the bracket behind the stop lamp switch mounting flange.
4. Once the pedal bushings line up with the mounting holes in the bracket, install the pivot shaft through the pedal from the right side.
5. Install the pivot shaft nut. Tighten the nut to a torque of 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
6. Carefully install the brake pedal and bracket assembly in the vehicle lining up the bracket with the power brake booster mounting studs and the studs on the instrument panel support.
7. Install the two upper nuts securing the brake pedal bracket to the instrument panel support. Install the two nuts all the way, but do not tighten them at this time.




8. Install the four nuts (2, 3) securing the power brake booster to the brake pedal bracket. Tighten the nuts to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
9. Tighten the two upper nuts securing the brake pedal bracket to the instrument panel support to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
10. Install the power brake booster push rod on the pin mounted on the side of the brake pedal. Install a new retaining clip (1) on the end of the pin. Do not reuse the old clip.

CAUTION: Do not reuse the original stop lamp switch. The switch can only be adjusted once. That is during initial installation of the switch. If the switch is not adjusted properly or has been removed for some service, a new switch must be installed and adjusted.





11. Mount and adjust the NEW stop lamp switch using the following procedure:
a. Insert the plunger end of the switch in the mounting bracket by aligning the index tab on the switch with the slot in the mounting bracket.
b. When the switch is fully seated in the bracket, rotate the switch clockwise approximately 30° to lock the switch into place.
c. With the brake pedal in the fully released position, move the lever on the back of the stop lamp switch from the non-adjusted angle position to the full vertical position. This will permanently adjust the switch to the vehicle.
12. Install the knee blocker.
13. Install the silencer pad below the knee blocker.




14. Connect the battery negative cable (1) to its post on the battery (4).




15. Install the air cleaner cover.
16. Check the stop lamps to verify they are operating properly and not staying on when the pedal is in the released position.
17. Road test the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the brakes and speed control (if equipped).
