Section 1288 (As69RC Automatic Transmission (Service Information) 3500 Hd): Assembly: Assembly: Notes
If the transmission is being reconditioned (clutch/seal replacement) or replaced, it is necessary to perform the Quick Learn Procedure using the scan tool. Refer to MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL, MODULE PROGRAMMING .
Apply trans jell or petroleum jelly 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® ASRC ATF. Soak all friction discs in MOPAR® ASRC ATF for at least two hours before assembly of clutch packs.
| 1 - CORRECT INSTALLATION |
| 2 - INCORRECT INSTALLATION |
A thrust bearing must be installed correctly or transmission failure may occur.
When installing a thrust bearing be certain the rolled surface (outer race) of the thrust bearing contacts the rolled surface of the component.
Before final assembly of the transmission a B1 and B2 piston and clutch pack clearance check must be preformed.
- If removed, prepare the manual shaft for installation by placing a NEW roll pin retaining sleeve on the rooster comb.
- While holding the rooster comb in position, slide the manual shaft through the transmission case and rooster comb.
- Rotate the roll pin locking sleeve (1) with the blind hole in the rooster comb (3) and make a mark (2) on the rooster comb to identify the location of the blind hole in the rooster comb.
- Rotate the roll pin locking sleeve (1) so that so that a roll pin can be inserted through the bore (2) of the rooster comb (3) and manual shaft.
- Install a NEW roll pin so that it is flush with rooster comb and the roll pin locking sleeve can rotate freely.
- Turn the roll pin locking sleeve (3) that both ends of the roll pin are covered.
- Using a suitable punch (1), stake the roll pin locking sleeve (3) to the rooster comb blind hole so that it cannot rotate. The blind hole location on the rooster comb is indicated by the previously made mark (2).
- Install the park rod to the rooster comb.
- Lubricate the B2 brake piston seals with MOPAR® ASRC ATF and install the B2 brake piston (2) into the extension housing, making sure the alignment mark on the piston lines up with the alignment mark on the case (1).
