Valve Body - Installation

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: If the valve body is being replaced the oil pump must also be replaced. Failure to follow these instructions will damage the transmission.

NOTE: If the valve body is being replaced, a quick learn must be performed using the scan tool. TCM Quick Learn

NOTE: Apply petroleum grease to all slide portions, rolling contacts surfaces, thrust surfaces etc. to prevent burnout during initial operation. Lubricate O-rings and O-ring seals with MOPAR(R) AS68RC ATF. Soak all friction disks in MOPAR(R) AS68RC ATF for at least two hours before assembly of clutch packs.










1. Lubricate the seals on the electrical connectors with MOPAR(R) AS68RC ATF and install the valve body electrical harnesses (1) into the transmission case.










2. Install the valve body electrical harness connector bolts. Tighten the bolts to 8 Nm (71 in.lbs.).




OVER HEAD VIEW





3. Install the three accumulator springs first and then the three accumulator valves (1), (2) ,(3).




VALVE BODY INSTALLATION










NOTE: Install valve body on a slight angle and verify that the shaft on the manual shift valve and the roller detent spring (11) has properly engaged the manual valve lever (13).

NOTE: Bolts with conical washers are not reusable.

4. Install the valve body onto the transmission case.
5. Install and then tighten the bolts in the following order:
a. Install bolts (2*) and (3*) and tighten by hand in order to hold valve body onto transmission case.
b. Install detent spring , (10), (11) and bolts (5), (8) with wave washer (9), and tighten by hand.
c. Install clamp (12) along with bolt (15) on the prescribed position and tighten by hand.
d. Install bolts (15), (4), (6) and (7) on each correct position and tighten by hand.
e. Tighten bolts (2*) and (3*) to 10 Nm ( 88 in.lbs.).
f. Tighten bolts (4), (5), (6),(7), (15) to 10 Nm ( 88 in.lbs.) and (8) to 5.5 Nm (49 in. lbs.).




VALVE BODY SOLENOID HARNESS





6. Install the white wire onto the oil pressure switch number seven (5).
7. Install the black wire onto the oil pressure switch number eight (6).
8. Connect the blue/white wire into linear solenoid number three (3).
9. Connect the yellow/black wire into linear solenoid number one (4).
10. Connect the brown/red wire to the oil temperature sensor (7) jumper harness.
11. Connect the orange/green to the upper valve body jumper harness (10).
12. Secure the valve body solenoid harness at clamps (8) and (9).

NOTE: There should be no harness wires between the two arrows.




VALVE BODY OIL SWITCH HARNESS





13. Install the yellow wire onto oil pressure switch number six (9).
14. Install the black wire onto oil pressure switch number three (10).
15. Install the red wire onto oil pressure switch number two (11).
16. Install the brown wire onto oil pressure switch number one (12).
17. Connect the blue/white wire into linear solenoid number four (3).
18. Connect the brown/red wire into linear solenoid number two (6).
19. Connect the yellow wire into the on/off solenoid number three (4).
20. Connect the black wire into the on/off solenoid number two (5).
21. Connect the green wire into the on/off solenoid number one (7).
22. Connect the orange wire into the on/off solenoid number four (8).
23. Secure the oil pressure switch harness that is protected with clamps (13), (14) and (15).




TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER





24. Lubricate transmission oil filter o-ring with MOPAR(R) AS68RC ATF.
25. Install the transmission oil filter (2) into the valve body (1).
26. Install the bolts (3) and tighten to 10 Nm (88 in.lbs.).




OIL PAN MAGNETS





NOTE: Before installing the transmission oil pan be certain to inspect and clean the pick-up magnets (1) as well as the magnetic drain plug bolt (2).

27. Using a new gasket install the oil pan onto the transmission case.
28. Tighten oil pan bolts to 7 Nm (62 in.lbs.).




DRAIN PLUG





CAUTION: Two different sizes of drain bolts exist. Original oil pans will have size M18 drain bolts (24mm width across flats) and should be tightened to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). Service ordered oil pans will have size M10 drain bolts (19mm width across flats) and should be tightened to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.)

29. Install oil pan drain plug bolt (1).
30. For M18 drain bolts (24mm width across flats), tighten oil pan drain plug to 27 Nm ( 20 ft.lbs) torque.
31. For M10 drain bolts (19mm width across flats), tighten oil pan drain plug to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) torque.
32. Lower vehicle and fill transmission with MOPAR(R) AS68RC ATF.
33. Check and adjust gearshift cable, if necessary.
