  1. Ensure PNP switch is removed before installing valve body. Install NEW seal rings on accumulator and solenoid connector. Lubricate seal rings, manual shift lever seal and accumulator and bore with petroleum jelly.
  2. Install inner spring for accumulator in transmission case. Install accumulator in transmission case. Place manual shift lever on valve body in low gear position so ball on park rod can be installed in parking sprag. Using screwdriver, push parking sprag to engage with park gear. This allows knob on park rod to move past parking sprag when installing valve body. Rotate output shaft to ensure parking sprag is engaged.
    CAUTION: Ensure park rod enters parking sprag, as park rod may enter cavity in the case and not enter parking sprag. Park rod will be damaged if it is not engaged with parking sprag.
  3. Install outer spring for accumulator between accumulator and valve body. Install valve body, working park rod past parking sprag. Ensure outer spring for accumulator remains in place.
    CAUTION: Alternately tighten valve body-to-transmission case bolts to prevent damage to valve body. DO NOT  overtighten bolts or transmission and valve body may be damaged.
  4. Install valve body-to-transmission case bolts in original location finger tight only. DO NOT  tighten bolts at this time. Using NEW seal, install PNP switch. Tighten PNP switch to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Tighten valve body-to-transmission case bolts evenly in criss-cross pattern to specification.
  5. Install NEW filter assembly. Install and tighten bolts to specification. Reconnect all necessary electrical connections. Install throttle valve and manual shift levers. Ensure throttle valve lever and manual shift levers rotate smoothly.
  6. Using NEW gasket, install oil pan. Install and tighten bolts to specification. Fill transmission with Mopar ATF Plus Type 7176 fluid. Ensure shift linkage/cable and throttle valve cable are properly adjusted. See the appropriate TRANSMISSION SERVICING - A/T article in the AUTOMATIC TRANS SERVICING section.
