DISASSEMBLYValve Body Assembly:
CAUTION: Do not clamp any part of the valve body assembly in a vise. This practice will distort the valve body and transfer plate resulting in valve bind. Slide valves and plugs out carefully. Do not use force at any time. The valves and valve body will be damaged if force is used. Also tag or mark the valve body springs for reference as they are removed. Do not allow them to become intermixed.
1. Remove screws attaching adjusting screw bracket to valve body and transfer plate. Hold bracket firmly against spring force while removing last screw.
Adjusting Screw Bracket And Spring Removal:
2. Remove adjusting screw bracket, line pressure adjusting screw, pressure regulator spring and switch valve spring. Do not remove throttle pressure adjusting screw from bracket and do not disturb adjusting screw settings during removal.
Securing Detent Ball And Spring With Retainer Tool:
3. Secure detent ball and spring in housing with retainer tool 6583.
Removing Manual And Throttle Levers:
4. Remove manual shaft E-clip and washer.
5. Pull manual shaft and park rod assembly upward out of valve body and off throttle lever.
6. Remove Retainer Tool 6583. Then remove and retain detent ball and spring.
7. Remove throttle lever.
Clutch Module And Connecting Tube Removal/Installation:
8. Remove park rod E-clip and separate rod from manual lever.
9. Remove screws attaching converter clutch module to valve body and remove module and connecting tube.
Valve Body-To-Transfer Plate Screw Locations:
10. Turn valve body over so transfer plate is facing upward. With valve body in this position, valve body check balls will remain in place and not fall out when transfer plate is removed.
11. Remove screws attaching transfer plate to valve body.
Transfer Plate Removal/Installation:
12. Remove transfer plate and separator plate from valve body. Note position of filter and clutch solenoid for reference. Remove valve body check balls. Note that check balls may be steel or plastic.

14. Remove screws attaching separator plate to transfer plate.
Converter Clutch Solenoid Removal:
15. Remove converter clutch solenoid from separator plate.
Transfer And Separator Plates:
16. Note position of filter, solenoid and rear clutch/rear servo check balls for assembly reference. Clutch and servo check balls may be steel or plastic.
Shuttle Valve E-Clip And Secondary Spring Location:
17. Remove shuttle valve end plate.
18. Remove shuttle valve E-clip and remove secondary spring and spring guides from end of valve.
Control Valves And Governor Plugs:
19. Remove governor valve end plate.
20. Remove switch valve and pressure regulator valve from valve body.
21. Remove throttle valve and spring, kickdown valve and detent and manual valve from valve body.
22. Remove 1-2 and 2-3 shift valve governor plugs from valve body.
23. Remove shuttle valve throttle plug, primary spring and shuttle valve from valve body.
24. Remove 1-2 shift control valve and spring from valve body.
25. Remove 2-3 shift valve and spring from valve body.
26. Remove 1-2 shift valve and spring from valve body.
27. Remove regulator valve end plate.
28. Remove regulator valve line pressure plug, pressure plug sleeve, throttle pressure plug and spring.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve body components should all slide into place easily. In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate and valve body screws during reassembly. Overtightening can distort the valve body resulting in valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory operation. Tighten valve body screws to recommended torque only.
1. Lubricate valve body bores, valves and plugs with MOPAR(r) ATF+4, type 9602, transmission fluid.
Valve Body Components:
2. Insert rear clutch and rear servo check balls in transfer plate.
3. Install filter screen in separator plate.
4. Align and install separator plate on transfer plate. Verify check ball position before installing separator plate on transfer plate.
Installing Converter Cluch Solenoid-32RH:
5. Install new O-ring on converter clutch solenoid and insert solenoid in separator plate. Then secure solenoid in position with attaching screw. Tighten screw to 4 Nm 35 inch lbs.) torque.
Correct Position Of Valve Body Check Balls:
6. Position valve body so internal passages and check ball seats are facing upward. Then install check balls in valve body. There are a total of seven check balls; The one large check ball is approximately 11/32 inch in diameter. The remaining check balls are approximately 1/4 inch in diameter.
7. Align and install assembled transfer and separator plates on valve body. Install and tighten valve body screws alternately in a diagonal pattern to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.
Converter Clutch Module Components:
8. Assemble and install lockup module and components on valve body.
9. Assemble regulator valve line pressure plug, sleeve, throttle plug and spring. insert assembly in valve body and install end plate. Tighten end plate screws to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.
10. Install 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves and springs.
11. Install 1-2 shift control valve and spring.
12. Install shuttle valve as follows:
a. Insert shuttle valve in bore.
b. Insert plastic guides in shuttle valve secondary spring.
c. Install spring on end of valve.
d. Hold shuttle valve in place. Then compress secondary spring and install E-clip in groove at end of valve.
e. Verify that spring and E-clip are properly seated before proceeding.
13. Install shuttle valve cover plate. Tighten end plate screws to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.
14. Install 1-2 and 2-3 valve governor plugs in valve body. Then install shuttle valve primary spring and throttle plug.
15. Align and install governor plug end plate on valve body and install end plate screws. Tighten screws to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.
16. Install manual valve.
17. Install throttle valve and spring. Then install kickdown valve and detent.
18. Install pressure regulator valve and switch valve in valve body.
Park Rod Install:
19. Install manual lever detent spring in housing. Place detent ball on end of spring and push ball and spring into housing. Secure ball and spring with Detent Retainer 6583.
20. Insert line pressure adjusting screw in adjusting screw bracket.
21. Install spring on end of line pressure regulator valve.
22. Install switch valve spring on tang at end of adjusting screw bracket.
23. Position adjusting screw bracket on valve body. Align valve springs and press bracket into place. Install short, upper bracket screws first and long bottom screw last. Verify that valve springs and bracket are properly aligned. Then tighten all three bracket screws to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.
24. Install module and connecting tube. Be sure long end of tube goes to module. Tighten module screws to 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) torque.
25. Install throttle lever in valve body. Then install manual lever over throttle lever and start manual lever into valve body.
26. Align manual lever detent with detent ball and align lever arm with manual valve. Hold throttle lever upward. Then press down on manual lever until lever is fully seated.
27. Install manual lever seal, washer and retaining E-clip.
28. Lubricate shaft of manual lever with light coat of petroleum jelly. This will help protect seal lip when manual shaft seal is installed.
Manual And Throttle Lever Alignment:
29. Verify that throttle lever is aligned with end of kickdown valve stem and that manual lever arm is engaged in manual valve.
30. If line pressure and/or throttle pressure adjustment screw settings were not disturbed, continue with overhaul or reassembly. However, if adjustment screw settings were moved or changed, re-adjust as described in Valve Body Control Pressure Adjustment procedure.
