inl. Replace transmission case if bushing I.D. is

CLEANING-INSPECTION

Clean the transmission components with solvent and dry them with compressed air only. Do not use shop towels or rags.

Blow compressed air through all oil feed passages and channels to be sure they are clear. Inspect the trans­mission components for wear and damage. Replace com­ponents that are damaged or worn beyond the limits specified in the individual overhaul procedures.

Replace all O-rings, gaskets and seals. These compo­ nents are not reusable. Also replace any snap ring that is distorted or damaged.

During overhaul assembly operations, lubricate the transmission components with Jeep or Mopar Mercon " automatic transmission fluid or petroleum jelly as in­dicated. Petroleum jelly should be used to prelubricate thrust bearings, washers and races. It can also be used to hold parts in position during assembly.

Soak replacement clutch and brake pack com­ponents in transmission fluid for at least 30 min­utes before installation.
