Input clutch hub outer lip seal, check for nicks or cuts, Figure 5.
Figure 6
^
OD/REV piston, check for loose or missing orifice, Figure 6.
^
If the OD/REV piston orifice appears to be in the correct position it should be tested as follows:
1.
Place a small dab of vaseline or petroleum jelly in the orifice hole inside the OD/REV piston.
2.
Using a rubber tipped air blow gun apply a minimum of 30 psi of air pressure to the orifice hole inside the piston, the orifice must
remain in place. If the orifice comes out of the piston hole, the OD/REV piston must be replaced.
^
If the OD/REV piston is the four slot type it must be replaced with OD/REV Piston, PN 4531492. If the OD/REV piston is the eight slot type
it must be replaced with a four slot type Piston and Pressure Plate Package PN 5241063.

Transaxle Reconditioning Reminders
1.
Always check and record the input shaft end play before disassembling the transaxle.
2.
Replace all worn or failed components.
3.
Always use Door Ease or its equivalent on all lip seals and "O" rings and mating parts for assembly ease. Use Vaseline or petroleum jelly to
temporarily hold parts, such as thrust bearings in place during assembly. Do not use petroleum based greases such as chassis grease to hold parts in
place. These greases could plug critical orifices or be incompatible with transmission fluid.
4.
Replace the torque convertor if a clutch failure has occurred.
5.
The solenoid assembly can be reused unless the transmission has experienced a gear train failure or a clutch failure that generated metal debris.
6.
Always flush the transmission oil cooler circuit when reconditioning the transaxle.
7.
Use Mopar ATF Plus (Type 7176) transmission fluid PN 4467721 to refill the transaxle. This is the preferred fluid, however Mopar Dextron
II/Mercon transmission fluid PN 4467723 may be used if ATF Plus is not available.
