8. Adding and Changing Fluid
a. Hydra-Matic Oil Recommendations

In order to obtain the maximum performance


and satisfaction from the Hydra-Matic trans

mission fluid be used. Whenever the transmission
is drained and refilled or fluid is added, use only
Automatic Transmission Fluid Type "A", design
ated AQ-ATF, followed by three or four digits and
the suffix letter "A".

The original factory fill fluid in the trans


mission should be changed at 30,000 miles. Sub

Checking Rear Unit Sun Gear End Play

It is very important at this stage in the assem


bly of the transmission to check the amount of
rear unit end play. This check is very critical
because, if there is too much clearance, integral
components may become mispositioned and noise
will result. If clearance is insufficient, there will
be too much preload on the washer resulting in

procedures are part of Bushing Service Tool Set,
J- 8532.

a. General Instructions
Before installing any precision bushing, be sure
that bore into which it is to be driven is clean and
free of burrs. Remove burrs with a scraper or
small file. Protruding metal in these bores can
distort the precision bushing, making it tight 011

areas where leaks may occur and check for signs
of bubbles.

but do not force.

As top step of reamer flutes nears bushing,


ease off pressure to avoid dropping rapidly and
scoring bushing. Continue to ream smoothly until
Reamer bottoms in Pilot Sleeve.

CAUTION: Never r e am counterclockwise,


and never ream with a power source.

9. Do not remove Reamer through bushing. Re


move Handle, J-8400-36, and lift pump body from
Reamer and Sleeve, leaving tools in vise.

10. Check location of half moon notch in bush


ing, Fig. 6-90. If it has moved in relation to oil
hole, bushing is too loose and an oversized bush
ing must be installed. If bushing is still located
properly, disregard remaining steps.
