Dodge Dakota (R1). Manual - part 698

GOVERNOR BODY, SENSOR AND SOLENOID

(1) Turn valve body assembly over so accumulator

side of transfer plate is facing down.

(2) Install new O-rings on governor pressure sole-

noid and sensor.

(3) Lubricate solenoid and sensor O-rings with

clean transmission fluid.

(4) Install governor pressure sensor in governor

body.

(5) Install governor pressure solenoid in governor

body. Push solenoid in until it snaps into place in
body.

(6) Position governor body gasket on transfer

plate.

(7) Install retainer plate on governor body and

around solenoid. Be sure solenoid connector is posi-
tioned in retainer cutout.

(8) Align screw holes in governor body and trans-

fer plate. Then install and tighten governor body
screws to 4 N·m (35 in. lbs.) torque.

(9) Connect harness wires to governor pressure

solenoid and governor pressure sensor.

(10) Install fluid filter and pan.
(11) Lower vehicle.
(12) Fill transmission with recommended fluid and

road test vehicle to verify repair.

INSTALLATION

(1) Check condition of O-ring seals on valve body

harness connector (Fig. 336). Replace seals on con-
nector body if cut or worn.

(2) Check condition of manual lever shaft seal in

transmission case. Replace seal if lip is cut or worn.
Install new seal with 15/16 deep well socket (Fig.
337).

(3) Check condition of seals on accumulator piston

(Fig. 338). Install new piston seals, if necessary.

(4) Place valve body manual lever in low (1 posi-

tion) so ball on park lock rod will be easier to install
in sprag.

(5) Lubricate shaft of manual lever with petroleum

jelly. This will ease inserting shaft through seal in
case.

(6) Lubricate seal rings on valve body harness con-

nector with petroleum jelly.

(7) Position valve body in case and work end of

park lock rod into and through pawl sprag. Turn pro-
peller shaft to align sprag and park lock teeth if nec-
essary. The rod will click as it enters pawl. Move rod
to check engagement.

CAUTION: It is possible for the park rod to displace
into a cavity just above the pawl sprag during
installation. Make sure the rod is actually engaged
in the pawl and has not displaced into this cavity.

(8) Install accumulator springs and piston into

case. Then swing valve body over piston and outer
spring to hold it in place.

(9) Align accumulator piston and outer spring,

manual lever shaft and electrical connector in case.

(10) Then seat valve body in case and install one

or two bolts to hold valve body in place.

(11) Tighten valve body bolts alternately and

evenly to 11 N·m (100 in. lbs.) torque.

(12) Install new fluid filter on valve body. Tighten

filter screws to 4 N·m (35 in. lbs.) torque.

(13) Install throttle and gearshift levers on valve

body manual lever shaft.

(14) Check and adjust front and rear bands if nec-

essary.

(15) Connect solenoid case connector wires.
(16) Install the transmission range sensor.
(17) Install oil pan and new gasket. Tighten pan

bolts to 17 N·m (13 ft. lbs.) torque.

(18) Lower vehicle and fill transmission with

Mopar

t ATF +4, type 9602, fluid.

(19) Check and adjust gearshift and throttle valve

cables, if necessary.

ADJUSTMENTS - VALVE BODY

CONTROL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS

There are two control pressure adjustments on the

valve body;

• Line Pressure

• Throttle Pressure
Line and throttle pressures are interdependent

because each affects shift quality and timing. As a
result, both adjustments must be performed properly
and in the correct sequence. Adjust line pressure first
and throttle pressure last.

LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

Measure distance from the valve body to the inner

edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 339).

Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw

in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.

NOTE: The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an
approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may
make it necessary to vary from this dimension to
obtain desired pressure.

One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes

line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa).

Turning

the

adjusting

screw

counterclockwise

increases pressure while turning the screw clockwise
decreases pressure.

THROTTLE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

Insert Gauge Tool C-3763 between the throttle

lever cam and the kickdown valve stem (Fig. 340).

Push the gauge tool inward to compress the kick-
