Clutch - Assembly

ASSEMBLY










NOTE: Soak new clutch friction plates in transfer case fluid for 20 minutes prior to installation.

1. Install the bottom (outer lugs) clutch plate (1) into the clutch retainer (2). Continue installing clutch plates, a disc with inner teeth followed by a disc with outer lugs, into the clutch retainer (2).










2. install the top (inner teeth) clutch plate (1) into the clutch retainer (2).










3. Install the wave spring (2) onto the main shaft (1).










CAUTION: When installing the clutch pressure plate, make sure that the wave spring remains piloted on the underside of the plate. Check that the spring does not protrude between the plate and the mainshaft.

4. Install the clutch pressure plate (2) onto the main shaft (1) and clutch assembly.










5. Install the thrust bearing (2) onto the main shaft (1).










6. Install the thrust bearing support plate (2) onto the main shaft (1).










NOTE: The clutch pressure plate must be engaged with the inner drum and held down when installing the retaining ring.

7. Install the thrust bearing support plate retaining ring (2) onto the main shaft (1).





8. Rotate the thrust bearing support plate (1) so that the tab (2) is pointed between the two bolt holes (3) as shown.










9. Install the clutch lever assembly (1) onto the mainshaft and shift rail.










10. Apply bead of Mopar(R) Gasket Maker, or equivalent, to mating surface of front case. Keep sealer bead width to maximum of 3 mm (0.125 inch). Do not use excessive amount of sealer as excess will be displaced into case interior and potentially clog the oil pump screen.
11. Verify that the tab on the thrust bearing support plate is aligned with the housing alignment dowel furthest from the front output shaft.
12. Install the rear housing (1) into the front housing (2).










13. Install the bolts (2) to hold the rear housing (1) to the front housing (3). Tighten the bolts at the dowel locations first, then the remainder of the bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Tighten the bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft.lbs.).










NOTE: Pull up on the main shaft when installing the retaining ring to ensure that the ring is fully engaged into the groove.

14. Install the rear main shaft (1) retaining ring (2).










Lubricate the oil pump components with transmission fluid before installation.

15. Install the oil pump outer rotor (2) onto the main shaft (1) and into the rear housing (3).










16. Install the oil pump inner rotor (2) onto the main shaft (1) and into the rear housing (3).










17. Install the clutch lever rail (2) into the rear housing (1) and clutch lever.










18. Install the clutch lever rail plug (1) into the rear housing.










19. Install the anti-rotation bracket (1) onto the shift rail (2).










20. Install the sector roller (1) onto the shift rail (2).
21. Using a suitable punch, align the holes in the sector roller with the hole in the shift rail and install the roll-pin to secure the sector roller to the shift rail.










22. Apply bead of Mopar(R) Gasket Maker, or equivalent, to mating surface of rear housing as shown (2). Keep sealer bead width to maximum of 3 mm (1/8 inch). Do not use excessive amount of sealer as excess could be displaced into the oil pump.










23. Install the rear cover (1) onto the rear housing (2).










24. Install the bolts (3) holding the rear cover (2) onto the rear housing (1). Tighten the bolts at the dowel locations first, then the remainder of the bolts in a criss-cross pattern. Tighten the bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft.lbs.).










25. Install the shift motor and mode sensor assembly (1) onto the shift sector (2) and the transfer case (3).










26. Install the bolts (1) to hold the shift motor and mode sensor assembly (2) to the transfer case. Tighten the bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft.lbs.).










27. If necessary, install the transfer case damper onto the transfer case.
28. Install the rear output flange (1) onto the main shaft (2).










29. Using Holder C-3281 (1), install the rear output flange (2) nut. Tighten the bolts to 122-176 Nm (90-130 ft.lbs.).
