Figure 1-B
Figure 1 on the previous page along with figures 2
thru 6 on this page serve as an orientation to "D" Brake
component identification and location.
When the case halves are split, Dog Clutch F (figure

2) and the E Clutch (figure 3) are located in the
converter housing half.
The D Brake (figure 4), Dog Clutch A and the B

Clutch (figure 5), along with the C Brake (figure 6)
are all located in the main case housing.
Disassembling this transmission is not difficult and

can be done quite easily. The reassembly process can
be tougher unless you know a couple of tips and Figure 4
acquire one reasonably priced special tool.

The recommended special tool that will greatly assist
in the disassembly and reassembly process of this
transmission is the compressor plate for the belleville
spring inside the C-brake piston (figure 7). This can
be found online at www.moparessentialtools.com
under tool number 10504. It currently lists for
approximately $64.00 US dollars.
This custom fit plate (figures 8 and 9) compresses the

belleville spring making it easier to remove a lip type
snap ring (figure 10). It also makes installing this
special snap ring (lip down) much easier as well. DO
NOT install the snap ring as seen in figure 11. It has
been known to pop out of its groove. It may even be
Figure 7 the reason it in your shop for repairs. Install it the way
it is seen in figure 9.
Figure 8 Figure 10
Figure 9 Figure 11

Do not forget the input shaft selective washer (figure
12) that must go on top of the B-clutch/Dog clutch-A
hub followed by the thrust needle bearing (figure 13).
Once the C-brake assembly has been installed, the

reaction plate with raised bosses that face upwards,
has one longer notch as seen in figure 14.
Figure 15 shows the factory location of this longer

notch while figure 16 shows the 1.75 mm (0.069 in)
thick retaining snap ring installed.
The D-brake assembly can now be installed

beginning with the reaction plate which will sit on the
lugs above the C-brake assembly. Figure 14
Figure 12 Figure 15
Figure 13 Figure 16

The reaction plate is the first to go down on the B
Clutch hub followed by friction and steel plates. A
wave plate sits on top of the last steel plate. The
belleville spring then sits inside the hub with the inner
fingers facing upward as seen in figure 17.
The B-clutch piston is then fitted on top of the

belleville spring (figure 18) followed by the shim
support piston (figure 19).
The assembly can be compressed to install the

retaining snap ring (figure 20). Once in place, the
input shaft can be inserted into the drum and secured
by its snap ring (figure 21).
Figure 17
Figure 18 Figure 20
Figure 19 Figure 21

The B-clutch drum and input shaft can be set in place
(figure 22).
The C and D brake hub and planetary assembly can be

installed into the friction plates with a rotating motion
of both the annulus gear and sun gear (figures 23 and
24).
Install a new o-ring into the D-brake piston retainer

and then two new lip seals into the D-brake piston and
lubricate with jell (figure 25).
Install the D-brake piston into the retainer followed

by the belleville spring as seen in figure 26.
Figure 24
Figure 22 Figure 25
Figure 23 Figure 26

Carefully install the D-brake piston assembly into the
transmission. Utilizing an appropriate press,
compress the assembly and install the 28.24 mm
(1.112 in) thick retaining snap ring (figure 27).
Insert a new o-ring into the carrier (figure 28) and

lubricate the annulus gear with gel (figure 29). Install
the gear into the carrier along with the retaining snap
ring. One side of the annulus gear will press down into
the o-ring allowing one end of the snap ring to get
inserted. Place a flat blade screw driver between the
gear and carrier on the opposite side (figure 30). Lean
the screwdriver towards the center to set the annulus
gear into the o-ring. The snap ring should pop into
Figure 27 place. Then place the assembly into the transmission
(figure 31).
Figure 28 Figure 30
Figure 29 Figure 31

With the thrust bearing in position under the annulus
gear 1 planetary hub (figure 32), install the gear into
the transmission (figure 33).
Place another thrust bearing on the annulus gear as

seen in figure 34.
Install the annulus gear 4 and carrier assembly into

annulus gear 3 (figure 35).
Install a new thrust spacer on the underside of the gear

4 planetary pinion carrier (figure 36) and place the
carrier into annulus gear 4.
Figure 34
Figure 32 Figure 35
Figure 33 Figure 36

Removing the transfer gear bearing cone is not
required unless it needs to be replaced. If it was
removed, place the shim onto the transmission
housing and use special tool 6888 and C-4171
(handle) or equivalent and install the gear bearing
cone onto the housing. It will sit slightly below flush
(figure 37).
Pin the park rod in the "out of park" position (figure

38) and install the transfer gear and differential
assembly (figure 39).
Install the sun gear 3 and 4 and Dog clutch-F in the

gear 4 planetary pinion carrier (figure 40) and its
Figure 37 roller type thrust bearing (figure 41).
Figure 38 Figure 40
Figure 39 Figure 41

Install the output gear support into the gear 4
planetary pinion carrier as shown in figures 42 and 43.
Install a new tube style seal into the case in the

location shown in figure 44.
Install the E-clutch hub and shaft in the output gear

support (figure 45) followed by the E-clutch drum
(figure 46).
Figure 44
Figure 42 Figure 45
Figure 43 Figure 46

The oil pump sits inside the intermediate support and
is held into place with a stout snap ring. The pump
provides a slight amount of spring tension against the
snap ring. By carefully introducing a slight
compression on the pump it will make it easier to pop
the snap ring free. Once free, release the tension and
remove the pump assembly from the intermediate
support (figures 47 and 48).
Flip the pump over and remove the e-clip (figure 49)
followed by two tension discs, a support brace and a
centering washer (figures 50 and 51).
Figure 47
Figure 48 Figure 50
Figure 49 Figure 51

The pressure plate cover contains a small center o-
ring and a large outer o-ring (figure 52).
When the pressure plate cover is lifted off of the pump

assembly, it will be seen that one of the two locating
pins for the cam extends into the cover (figure 53).
To ensure proper alignment of parts, a dimple is

placed into the cam next to the locating pin that
extends into the cover (figure 54).
A small c-clip retains the pump's drive shaft to the

rotor. When this is removed (figure 55), all the pump
parts can be separated for inspection (figure 56). The
main pump cover consists of a large outer o-ring in Figure 54
addition to the pump drive shaft seal.
Figure 52 Figure 55
Figure 53 Figure 56

The pump can be easily mis-assembeld by simply
placing the support bracket in-between its seat or
ledge as shown in figure 57. This will cause the two
tension discs to be installed upside down. When the
centering washer is put in place, it will sit far below
the groove for the e-clip retainer (figure 58).
Figure 59 shows the correct image of the support

brace being placed on its ledge. This allows for the
proper positioning of the two tension discs (figure
60).
When the centering washer is installed, it will now

require a slight compression to install the e-clip
Figure 57 retainer (figure 61).
Figure 58 Figure 60
Figure 59 Figure 61

With new seals and o-rings lubricated with gel, the oil
pump can be installed into the intermediate support
(figure 62). It will be necessary to provide a slight
compression on the pump to ensure that the retaining
snap ring is fully seated (figure 63).
The fluid temperature sensor can be installed now as

seen in figure 64 or before mounting the support to the
converter housing.
Carefully install the reaction shaft, washer, drive gear

and chain into the intermediate support and driven
gear as seen in figure 65.
Using caution, lay the entire support assembly onto Figure 64

the converter housing (figure 66).
Figure 62 Figure 65
Figure 63 Figure 66

Install the bolts to hold the reaction shaft to the
intermediate support plate and tighten to 10 Nm/88 in
lbs (figure 67). Then install a new filter and attaching
bolt using the same torque specifications (figure 68).
Install the feed pipe that runs along the filter as seen in
figure 2 on page 121.
With a new gasket on the main case, carefully place

the converter housing onto the main case and finger
tighten all the perimeter bolts (figure 69). Then install
8 long and one short converter housing to output gear
support attaching bolts with new washers finger
tighten (figure 70). Tighten all bolts to 25 Nm/18 ft
lbs.
Figure 67 The transmission is now prepared to receive the valve
body assembly (figure 71).
