Grand Caravan V6-181 3.0L SOHC (1989)
1.
During reassembly of the transaxle, select the proper #4 thrust washer to set input shaft end play to the service preferred setting of .005" to .015".
The actual total end play specification is .005" to .025" and is acceptable if the service preferred setting cannot be obtained.
Other Recommendations
1.
Always use Door Ease on all O-rings and mating parts to ease assembly. Use Vaseline or petroleum jelly to temporarily hold parts (such as thrust
bearings) in place during assembly. Do not use other kinds of petroleum based greases such as chassis grease that could plug critical orifices or
might be incompatible with transmission fluid.
2.
Replace the torque convertor if a clutch failure has occurred.
3.
The solenoid assembly can be reused unless the transmission experienced a gear train failure or a clutch failure that generated metal debris.
NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE SOLENOID ASSEMBLY. Replace it if necessary.
4.
Always reverse flush the transmission oil cooler circuit if a clutch failure or gear train failure has occurred.
5.
Use Mopar ATF Plus (Type 7176) transmission fluid (P/N 4467721) to refill the transaxle. This is the preferred fluid, however Mopar Dexron
II/Mercon transmission fluid (P/N 4467723) may be used if ATF Plus is not available.
