The following symptoms can be caused Cheek these items on the Items on the
by improper repair or assembly. PROBABLE CAUSE DUE NOTES CHART
T0 IMPROPER REPAIR
Car creeps in N . R1, R2
Car does not move in D . R4
Transmission locks up in R3, R12
Excessive drag in transmission. R6 R, K
Excessive vibration] rpm related. R7
Noise with wheels moving only. R5
Main seal pops out. R8 S
Various shifting problems. R9, R10
Harsh upshifts. R11
PROBABLE CAUSE DUE TO IMPROPER REPAIR
R1 . Improper clutch clearance.
R2. Improper gear clearance.
R3. Parking brake lever installed upside down.
R4. One-way (sprag) clutch installed upside down.
R5. Reverse hub installed upside down.
R6. Oil pump binding.
R7. Torque converter not fully seated in oil pump.
R8. Main seal improperly installed.
R9. Springs improperly installed.
R10. Valves improperly installed.
R11. Ball check valves not installed.
R12. Shift fork bolt not installed.
NOTES
B. Set idle rpm in gear to specified idle speed. If still no good, adjust motor mounts as outlined in en-
gine section of service manual.
C. If the large clutch piston O—ring is broken, inspect the piston groove for rough machining.
D. If the clutch pack is seized or is excessively worn, inspect the other clutches for wear and check
the orifice control valves and throttle valves for free movement.
E. if throttle valve B is stuck, inspect the clutches for wear.
If the 1—2 shift valve is stuck closed, the transmission will not upshift. If stuck open the
transmission has no 1st gear.
H. If the 2nd orifice control valve is stuck. inspect the 2nd and 3rd clutch packs for wear.
I. if the 3rd orifice control valve is struck, inspect the 3rd and 4th clutch packs for wear.
J. If the clutch pressure control valve is stuck closed, the transmission will not shift out of 1st gear.
Improper alignment of main valve body and torque converter housing may cause oil pump seizure.
The symptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking noise or a high pitched squeak.

NOTES
L. If the ATF strainer is clogged with particles of steel or aluminum, inspect the oil pump and differen—
tial clutch and planetary gear assembly‘ If all are 0K and no cause for the contamination is found,
replace the torque converter.
M. if the 1st clutch feedpipe guide in the end cover is scored by the mainshaft, inspect the ball bearing
for excessive movement in the transmission housing. If OK, replace the end cover as it is dented.
The O—ring under the guide is probably worn.
N. Replace the mainshaft if the bushings for the lst and 4th feedpipe are loose or damaged. If the ‘lst
feedpipe is damaged or out of round, replace it. If the 4th feedpipe is damaged or out of round,
replace the end cover.
О. А worn or damaged one-way (sprag) clutch is mostly a result of shifting the transmission in E
while the wheels rotate in reverse, such as rocking the car in snow.
P. Inspect the frame for collision damage.
Q. lnspect for damage or wear:
1. Reverse selector gear teeth chamfers.
2. Engagement teeth chamfers of countershaft 4th and reverse gear.
3. Shift fork for scuff marks in center.
4. Differential clutch or planetary gear assembly for wear.
5. Bottom of 3rd clutch for swirl marks.
Replace items 1, 2, 3 and 4 if worn or damaged. it transmission makes clicking, grinding or whirr»
ing noise, also replace mainshaft 4th gear and reverse idler gear and countershaft 4th gear in addi-
tion to 1, 2,3 or 4.
If differential clutch or planetary gear assembly is worn, overhaul differential assembly and replace
ATF strainer and thoroughly clean transmission, flush torque converter, cooler and lines.
If bottom of 3rd clutch is swirled and transmission makes gear noise, replace the countershaft and
ring gear.
R. Be very careful not to damage the torque converter housing when replacing the main ball bearing.
You may also damage the oil pump when you torque down the main valve body. This will result in
oil pump seizure if not detected. Use proper tools.
5. Install the main seal flush with the torque converter housing. If you push it into the torque con~
verter housing until it bottoms out, it will block the oil return passage and result in damage.
T. Harsh downshifts when coasting to a stop with zero throttle may be caused by the linear solenoid
not working.
U. Check if servo valve stopper cap is installed. If it was not installed, the check valve may have been
pushed out by hydraulic pressure causing a leak (internal) affecting all forward gears.
V. Linear solenoid shim selection is essential for proper operation of the transmission. Not only does it
affect the shift quality if misadjusted. but also the lock-up clutch operation.
A thick shim will result in throttle pressure being too low for the amount of engine torque input into
the transmission and may cause clutch slippage. A thin shim will result in too high throttle
pressures which may cause harsh shifts, erratic shifts and torque converter hunting.
