Governor and Park Gear Installation

1. Lubricate governor components and park gear seal rings with Mopar ATF Plus 4.
2. Install governor filter in park gear and install governor body on gear. Align governor body on gear using marks made at disassembly.
3. Install new seal rings on hub of park gear if necessary. Be sure ring with hooked ends is properly connected.
4. Align and install governor/park gear assembly on output shaft as follows:





a. Note that output shaft in current transmission is spot-faced for governor valve end clearance. Shaft must be indexed so that small end of governor valve will seat in this spot-face. Install governor body and park as follows to ensure proper alignment and operation.
b. Rotate output shaft until spot-face (at governor valve shaft hole) is facing upward.
c. Position valve bore in governor body over spot-face on output shaft. Then align valve shaft holes in governor body and output shaft.
d. Align splines in output shaft and park gear hub.





e. Carefully push assembly into place in rear support.
f. Verify that governor valve shaft holes in output shaft and governor body are still in alignment. Reposition governor body and park gear if alignment is not correct.
g. Tighten bolts attaching governor body to park gear to 11 Nm (95 inch lbs.) torque.





5. Install first E-clip on governor valve shaft. Then install governor valve and shaft in governor body. Be sure valve shaft moves freely in valve and in output shaft. If valve shaft binds, governor/park gear is misaligned.





6. Rotate output shaft until opposite end of governor valve shaft is facing upward. Then install remaining E-clip on governor valve shaft. Be very sure both E-clips are firmly seated on shaft.
7. Install governor body-park gear retaining snap rings and washer on output shaft as follows:
a. On models with single snap ring, install snap ring. Be sure ring is seated in shaft.





b. On models with thrust washer and two snap rings, install thin snap ring first. Then install thrust washer second, and thick snap ring last.
c. Verify correct position of snap rings. Be sure flat side of each snap ring is toward governor body.
8. Tighten bolts that attach governor body to park gear to 11 Nm (95 inch lbs.).
