General Information

Transmission IdentificationAll vehicles are equipped with a VehicleCertification Label affixed to the left (driver's)side door lock post. See the stamped code in thespace marked "Trans." and to Figure 1 below forproper transmission identification.

All automatic transmissions are equipped with high temperature resistant seals. This includes thoseseals used on the manual and kickdown levers, the 0-rings and oil pan gasket. Under no conditionsshould older design seals be used on the transmissions, except the regular service replacement of oilpan gasket, which is of special leak prevention design. This should still be used.

Diagnosis and TestingTroubleshooting and the automatic transmission is simplified by using the proven methods ofdiagnosis. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure tofollow.

The following procedures are recommended for checking and/or verifying that the variouscomponents are adjusted and operating properly.

Automatic Transmission Tests

Accelerator Linkage and Operation

The linkage must be free and must return to idle when released. See Part 24-60-Carburetor ThrottleLinkage for linkage adjustment and this part for dashpot adjustment.

Kickdown Linkage

Check for wide open accelerator linkage. The accelerator stop must be contacted by the throttlelinkage and there must be a slight amount of movement left in the downshift linkage. Be sure thedownshift linkage return spring is connected and the downshift lever returns to a closed position.

Manual Linkage

Correct manual linkage adjustment is necessary to position the manual valve for proper fluidpressure direction to the different transmission components.

Improperly adjusted manual linkage may cause cross-leakage and subsequent transmission failure.See Linkage Adjustments in Part 17-02, Shift Control Linkage for detailed manual linkage adjustmentprocedures.

Transmission Fluid Level Check

The automatic transmissions designed to operate with the fluid level between the 'add' and 'full' markon the dipstick, at an operating temperature of 65° C-76° C (150°-170° F) and should be checkedunder these conditions. The operating temperatures may be obtained by driving 24-32 km (15-20 miles)of city type driving with the outside temperature above 10° C (50° F).

If the Transmission is not at an operating temperature of 65°-76° C (150°-170° F) and it becomesnecessary to check the fluid level, the fluid may be checked at room temperature 21 °-35° C (70°-95°F). (Dipstick cool to touch).

Room Temperature Fluid Level Checking Procedures

1. With transmission in Park, 'P' position, engine at curb idle RPM, foot brakes applied, and vehicle on level surface,move transmission selector through each range, allowing time in each range to engage transmission. Return to Park,'P' position, and apply parking brake.

2. Clean all dirt from the transmission fluid dipstick cap before removing the dipstick from the filler tube.

3. Pull the dipstick out of the tube, wipe it clean and push it all the way back in the tube. Be sure it is fully seated.

4. Pull the dipstick out of the filler tube again and check the fluid level. The level should be between the middle andtop holes of the dipstick. If the level is below the middle hole or above the top hole. Add or remove fluid to bring thelevel between the middle hole and the top hole.

5. If it becomes necessary to add fluid to a transmission, be sure to use the correct fluid, as specified on thetransmission dipstick.

6. Install the dipstick, making sure it is fully seated in the tube.

If the transmission fluid level is correctly established at 21 °-35° C (70°-95° F), it will appear between the'Add' and 'Full' mark on the dipstick when the transmission reaches an operating temperature of 65°-70° C (150°-170° F). Do not over-fill or under-fill.

Overfill can cause the fluid to foam and spill out through the transmission vent with resultanttransmission malfunction.

If the transmission fluid level is checked when the fluid is cold, the dipstick could indicate that fluidshould be added. If the fluid is added at this time, an overfill condition could result when the fluidreaches an operating temperature of 65°-76° C (150°-170° F) (Dipstick hot to touch).

Transmission Fluid Condition Check

1. Make the normal fluid check according to the above procedure.

2. Observe color and odor of the fluid. It should be red not-brown, or black. A burnt odor can sometimes indicate thatthere is an overheating condition or clutch disc or band failure.

3. Use an absorbent white paper (Kleenex, etc.) to wipe.the dipstick.: Examine the stain for evidence of solids (specksof any kind) and for antifreeze signs (gum or varnish on dipstick).

If specks are present in the oil or there is evidence of antifreeze, the transmission oil pan must beremoved for further inspection. If fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by furtherevidence of coolant or excessive solids in the oil pan, the transmission must be disassembled andcompletely cleaned and repaired. This includes cleaning the torque converter and transmissioncooling system. It would be a waste of time to perform any further checks before cleaning andrepairing the transmission. During disassembly and assembly, all overhaul checks and adjustments ofclearances and end play must be made.

High Or Low Fluid Level

A fluid level that is too high will cause the fluid to become aerated. Aerated fluid will cause lowcontrol pressure, and the aerated fluid may be forced out of the vent.

A fluid level that is too low can affect the operation of the transmission. Low level may indicate fluidleaks that could cause transmission damage.

Fluid Level High Before Starting Engine-Ok During Normal Check

1. Check for correct operation of the drainback valve in stator support.

2. Check pump bushing.

3. Replace or repair pump if required.

Transmission Fluid Leakage Checks

Check the speedometer cable connection at the transmission. Replace the rubber seal if necessary (if soequipped).

Leakage at the oil pan gasket often can be stopped by tightening the attaching bolts to the proper torque.If necessary, replace the gasket.

Check the fluid filler tube connection at the transmission case. If leakage is found, install a new 0-ringor tighten the fitting to the specified torque as listed at the end of this part.

Check the fluid lines and fittings between the transmission and the cooler in the radiator tank forlooseness, wear, or damage. If leakage is found, tighten the fitting, or replace the damaged parts.

Check the engine coolant in the radiator. If transmission fluid is present in the coolant, the cooler in theradiator is probably leaking.

The cooler can be further checked for leaks by disconnecting the lines from the cooler fittings andapplying 345-517 kPa (50-75 psi) air pressure to the fittings. Remove the radiator cap to relieve thepressure build up at the exterior of the oil cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking an/or will not hold pressure,the cooler must be replaced. Cooler replacement is described in the Cooling System Section of Group27.

If leakage is found at either the downshift control lever or the manual lever shaft, replace either or bothseals.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left front side of the transmission case. If the plug shows leakage, tightenthe plug to specifications. If leakage continues, replace the plug. Inspect the TV pressure plug on theright rear side of the case.

If the plug shows leakage, coat the threads with Motorcraft Sealing Compound or equivalent andtighten the plug to specification as listed at the end of the appropriate transmission part. If leakagecontinues, replace the plug.

When a converter drain plug leaks, remove the drain plug with a six-point wrench. Coat the threadswith Motorcraft Sealing Compound or equivalent and install the plug. Tighten the drain plug tospecification as listed at the end of this part. Fluid leakage from the converter housing may also becaused by engine oil leaking past the rear main bearing, or from oil galley plugs, or powersteering oil leakage from steering system. Be sure to determine the exact cause of the leakbefore starting repair procedures.

Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes premixed at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon of dye powder to 0.23liter (1/2 pint) of transmission fluid have proven helpful in locating the source of fluid leakage.Such dyes may be used to determine whether an engine oil or transmission fluid leak is present,or if the fluid in the oil cooler leaks into the engine coolant system. A black light must be usedwith the fluorescent dye solution.

Fluid Leakage In Converter Area

In diagnosing and correcting fluid leaks in the front pump and converter area, use the following procedures tolocate the exact cause of the leakage. Leakage at the front of transmission, evidenced by fluid around theconverter housing, may have several sources.

By careful observation, it is possible in many instances to pinpoint the source of the leak before removing thetransmission from the vehicle. Thepaths which the fluid takes to reach the bottom of the converter housing areshown in Figure2.

1. Fluid leaking by the front pump seal lip will tend to move along the drive hub and onto the back ofthe impeller housing. Except in the case of a total seal failure, fluid leakage by the lip of the sealwill be deposited on the inside of the converter housing only, near the outside diameter of thehousing.

2. Fluid leakage by the outside diameter of the seal and front pump body will follow the same pathwhich the leaks by the front pump seal follow.

3. Fluid that leaks by a front pump-to-case bolt will be deposited on the inside of the converterhousing only. fluid will not be deposited on the back of the converter.

4. Leakage by the front pump-to-case gasket may cause fluid to be deposited inside the converterhousing, or it may seep down between the front of the case and converter housing.

5. Fluid leakage from the converter drain plugs will appear at the outside diameter of the converter onthe back face of the flywheel, and in the converter housing only near the flywheel.

6. Converter-to-flywheel stud weld leak.

Engine oil leaks are sometimes improperlydiagnosed as transmission front pump sealleaks. The following areas of possibleleakage should also be checked todetermine if engine oil leakage is causingthe problem.

Figure 2 Converter Leakage-Fluid Pat

Leakage at the rocker arm cover (valley cover) may allow oil to flow over the converter housingor seep down between the converter housing and cylinder block, causing oil to be present in or atthe bottom of the converter housing.

a. Oil galley plug leaks will allow oil to flow down the rear face of the block to the bottom ofthe converter housing.

b. Leakage by the crankshaft seal will work back to the flywheel, and then into the converterhousing.

Fluid leakage from other areas, such as the power steering system forward of the transmission,could cause fluid to be present around the converter housing due to blow back or road draft. Thefollowing procedures should be used to determine the use of the leakage before any repairs aremade.

c. Remove the transmission dipstick and note the color of the fluid. Original factory-fill fluid isdyed red, to aid in determining if leakage is from the engine or transmission. Unless aconsiderable amount of makeup fluid has been added or the fluid has been changed, the colorshould assist in pinpointing the leak. Since road draft may cause leaking power steering fluidto be present on the transmission, this leakage, if present, should be eliminated beforechecking the transmission for fluid leakage.

d. Remove the converter housing cover. Clean off any fluid from the top and bottom of theconverter housing, front of the transmission case, and rear face of the engine and engine oilpan. Clean the converter area by washing with a suitable non-flammable solvent, and blowdry with compressed air.

e. Wash out the converter housing, the front of the flywheel, and the converter drain plugs. Theconverter housing may be washed out using cleaning solvent and a squirt-type oil can. Blowall washed areas dry with compressed air.

f. Start and run engine until the transmission reaches its normal operating temperature. Observethe back of the block and top of the converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage.. Raisethe vehicle on a hoist and run the engine at fast idle, then at engine idle, occasionally shiftingto the drive and reverse ranges to increase pressure within the transmission. Observe the frontof the flywheel; back of the block (in as far as possible), and inside the converter housing andfront of the transmission case. Run the engine until fluid leakage is evident and the probablesource of leakage can be determined.

Converter Leakage Check

If welds on the torque converter indicate leakage, remove the converter and make the followingcheck.

Assemble a Rotunda 72-0004 Torque Converter Leak Detector (Figure 3) or an equivalent to theconverter as shown in Figure 4. Test the converter for leaks following the directions supplied with thedetector kit.

Engine Idle Speed Check

If the idle speed is too low, the engine will run roughly. An idle speed that is too high will cause thevehicle to creep, have harsh engagements and harsh closed-throttle downshifts.

Check and, if necessary, adjust engine idle speed to specifications shown on the engine decal with theheadlights on, A/C turned off and transmission in drive range, using the procedure given in theappropriate carburetor part in Group 24.

On vehicles equipped with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, it is important to check thesystem for proper operation and for a possible restricted condition.

Anti-Stall Dashpot Clearance Check

After the engine idle has been properly adjusted, check the ant-stall dashpot clearance. Follow theprocedure given in Group 24 for checking and adjusting this clearance.

Control Pressure TestThere are two methods of performing the control pressure test. One is to perform the test using theengine vacuum. The second method is to use a remote vacuum source such as the one provided in thedistributor tester.

Engine Vacuum Pressure:

When the vacuum diaphragm unit is operating properly and the manual and downshift linkage is adjustedproperly, all the transmission shifts (automatic and kickdown) should occur within the road speedlimits listed in the Ford Truck Performance Specifications book.

If the shifts do not occur within limits, or the transmission slips during shift point, use the followingprocedure to determine whether the engine, transmission, linkage, vacuum diaphragm unit or valve bodyis causing the condition.

guide until you have made any repairs, as required, and the control pressure is within specificationsas listed in the Ford Truck Performance Specifications book.

Vacuum Pump Method

Install the Automatic Transmission Tester. Disconnect and temporarily plug the vacuum line at thevacuum diaphragm unit. Apply both the parking and service brakes. Start the engine and vacuumpump. Set the vacuum at 15 inches, read and record the controlpressure in all positions. Run the engineup to 1000 rpm, and reduce the vacuum to 10 inches. Read and record the control pressure in D, 2 and1. Keep the engine rpm at 1000 and reduce the vacuum to 1 inch. Read and record the control pressurein D, 1, 2 and R.

See the two control pressure diagnostic guides in Figure 9 to show what components are inoperativewhen the control pressure test is not within specifications. Do not proceed with the main diagnosisguide until you have made any repairs, as required, and the control pressure is within specifications aslisted in the Ford Truck Performance Specifications book.

Vacuum Supply Test

The vacuum supply to the vacuum diaphragm unit and the diaphragm itself must be checked. Tocheck the supply, disconnect the vacuum line at the diaphragm unit and connect it to a vacuum gauge.With the engine idling,

the gauge must have a steady acceptable vacuum reading for the altitude at which the test is beingperformed. If the vacuum reading is low, check for a vacuum leak or poor engine vacuum. If the vacuumreading is OK, rapidly accelerate the engine momentarily. The vacuum reading must drop rapidly atacceleration and return immediately upon release of the accelerator. If the vacuum reading does notchange or changes slowly, the transmission vacuum line is plugged, restricted or connected to areservoir supply. Correct as required.

Vacuum Diaphragm Test-On Vehicle

To check the vacuum diaphragm unit, start the vacuum pump and set the regulator knob so that thevacuum gauge reads 18 inches with the end of the vacuum hose blocked. Then connect the vacuum hoseto the diaphragm unit. If the gauge still reads 18 inches, the vacuum diaphragm is not leaking. If thereading does not remain at 18 inches, but drops, the vacuum diaphragm is leaking. Replace the vacuumdiaphragm unit. Also, if automatic transmission fluid is present in the vacuum side of the diaphragm orin the vacuum hose, the diaphragm is leaking and must be replaced.

Vacuum Diaphragm Tests-Off Vehicle

To check the vacuum unit for diaphragm leakage, remove the unit from the transmission. Use adistributor tester equipped with a vacuum pump (Figure 8). Set the regulator knob until the vacuumgauge reads 18 inches with the end of the vacuum hose blocked off.

Connect the vacuum hose to the manifold vacuum port as shown in Figure 8. If the gauge still reads 18inches, the vacuum unit diaphragm is not leaking. A second leakage check can be made as the hose isremoved from the transmission vacuum unit. Hold a finger over the end of the control rod. When the hoseis removed, the internal spring of the vacuum unit should push the control rod outward. If the vacuumdiaphragm needs replacing, install a new unit that has been released for service. Vacuum diaphragmassembly identification is given at the end of this part.

Stall TestSee Figure 11.

Start the engine to allow it to reach normal operating temperature. Apply both the parking and servicebrakes while stepping on the accelerator to reach the specified rpm for the stall test.

The stall test is made in D (DRIVE), 1 (FIRST) or R (REVERSE) at full throttle to check engineperformance, converter clutch operation or installation, and the holding ability of the forward clutch,reverse-high clutch and low-reverse band or low-reverse clutch, and the gear train one-way clutch.

Caution

Do not hold the throttle open for more than five seconds at a time while making this test.

After the test, move the selector to N (NEUTRAL) and run engine at 1000 rpm for about 15 secondsto cool the converter before making the next test. If the engine speed recorded by the tachometerexceeds the maximum limits listed in the Ford Truck Performance Specifications book, release theaccelerator immediately because the clutch or band slippage is indicated.

Governor Check

The governor can be checked at the same time as the Control Pressure Test is performed and in thesame manner.

Raise the vehicle with an axle or frame hoist so that the rear wheels are clear of the floor. Disconnectand plug the vacuum line to the vacuum diaphragm unit. Connect the line from the distributor tester tothe vacuum diaphragm unit. Install the Automatic Transmission Tester.

Place the transmission in manual 2, no load on the engine and apply 10 inches of vacuum to thevacuum diaphragm unit. Increase the speed slowly and watch the speedometer. Check the mph at whichthe control pressure cutback occurs. It should occur between 16-32 km (10-20 mph).

Decrease the vacuum at the vacuum diaphragm to 0.2 inches. Repeat the check. Control pressurecutback should occur between 24-40 km (15-25 mph).

The governor is good if the cutback occurs within these specifications. If the cutback does not occurwithin specifications, check shift speeds to verify that it is the governor and not a stuck cutbackvalve, then repair or replace the governor.

Transmission Fluid Cooler Flow Check

The linkage, fluid level and control pressure must be within specifications before performing thisflow check. Remove the transmission dipstick from the filler tube.

Place a funnel in the transmission filler tube. Raise the vehicle, remove the cooler return line from itsfitting in the case. Attach a hose to the cooler return line and fasten the free end of the hose in thefunnel installed in the filler tube.

Start the engine and set idle speed at 1000 rpm with the transmission in neutral.

Observe the fluid flow at the funnel. When the flow is "solid" (air bleeding has been completed), theflow should be liberal. If there is not a liberal flow at 1000 rpm in neutral, low pump capacity, maincircuit system leakage, or cooler system restriction is indicated.

To separate transmission trouble from cooler system trouble, observe the flow at the transmissioncase converter-out fitting.

Shift Point Checks

Road TestCheck the minimum throttle upshifts in D (DRIVE). The transmission should start in first gear, shift tosecond, and then shift to third, within the shift points listed in the Ford Truck PerformanceSpecifications book.

With the transmission in third gear, depress the accelerator pedal through the detent (to the floor)The transmission should shift from third to second or third to first, depending on the vehicle speed.

Check the closed throttle downshift from third to first by coasting down from about 48 km (30 mph)in third gear. The shift should occur within the limits listed in the Specifications.

When the selector lever is at 2 (SECOND), the transmission can operate only in second gear.

With the transmission in third gear and road speed over 48km (30 mph) the transmission should shiftto second gear when the selector lever is moved from D (DRIVE) to 2 (SECOND) to 1 (FIRST). Thischeck will determine if the governor pressure and shift control valves are functioning properly.

The transmission will downshift from second or third to first gear when this same manual shift is madebelow approximately 48 km (30 mph) with a C-6 transmission.

Shift TestA shift test can be performed to check shift valve operation, governor circuits, shift delay pressures,throttle boost and downshift valve action.

Raise the vehicle with an axle or frame hoist so that the rear wheels are clear of the floor. Disconnectand plug the vacuum line to the vacuum diaphragm unit. Connect the line from the distributor testervacuum pump to the vacuum diaphragm unit.

1. To check the shift valves and governor circuits, apply 18 inches of vacuum to the transmissionvacuum diaphragm unit. Place the transmission in Drive and make a minimum throttle 1-2 and 2-3shift test. At the point of shift you will see the speedometer needle make a momentary surge andfeel the driveline bump. If the shift points are within specifications, the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves andgovernor are OK. If the shift points are not within specifications, perform a "Governor Check" toisolate the problem.

Note: After each test, move the selector lever to neutral and run the engine at 1000 rpmto cool the transmission.

2. To check the shift delay pressures and throttle boost, decrease the vacuum at the vacuumdiaphragm to 0-2 inches. Make a 1-2 shift test. If the shift point raises to specifications, the throttleboost and shift delay systems are functioning.

NOTE: After each test, move the selector lever to neutral and run the engine at 1000 rpmto cool the transmission.

To check downshift valve action, leave the vacuum to the vacuum diaphragm at 0-2 inches. Positionthe downshift linkage in the wide open throttle position (through the detent) and repeat the 1-2 shifttest. The speed at the shift point should be higher.

Forced DownshiftsWith the transmission in high gear depress the accelerator pedal to the floor. The transmission

should downshift depending on vehicle road speed.

Closed Throttle Down-ShiftsClosed throttle down-shifts should be extremely difficult to detect. It may be necessary to attach pressuregauges to the forward and direct clutch pressure taps (Figure 8) in order to detect 4-3 and 3-2 coast-down shifts.

With gauges attached a 4-3 coast (closed throttle), down-shift is signified by the application of theforward clutch and 3-2 coast down-shift is signified by the release of the direct clutch. A 2-1 coastdown-shift should be imperceptible. The coast down-shifts should occur within the limits set forth inthe Ford Truck Performance Specifications book.

When the shift selector is in manual low (1) the transmission can operate only in first gear.

When the shift selector is moved from (D) to the manual low (1) position, the transmission will down-shift into first gear.

The overdrive band is applied when the transmission is in manual second. The low-reverse band isapplied in manual-low.

In Shop

A shift test can be performed in the shop to check shift valve operation, governor circuits, shift delaypressures, throttle boosts and down-shift valve action.

Raise the vehicle with an axle or frame hoist so that the rear wheels are clear of the floor. Disconnectand plug the vacuum line to the vacuum diaphragm unit. Connect the line from the distributor testervacuum pump to the vacuum diaphragm unit.

1. To check the shift valves and governor circuits, apply 18 inches of vacuum to the transmissionvacuum diaphragm unit. Place the transmission in Drive and make a minimum throttle 1-2. At theshift points you will see the speedometer needle make a momentary surge and feel the drivelinebump. If the shift points are within specification, the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves and governor are OK.

If the shift points are not within specification, perform a Governor Check to isolate the problem.

Note: After each test, move the selector lever to Neutral, run the engine at 1000 rpm tocool the transmission.

2. To check the shift delay pressures and throttle boost, decrease the vacuum at the vacuumdiaphragm to 0-2 inches. Make a 1-2 shift test. If the shift point raises to specification, the throttleboost and shift delay systems are functioning.

Note: After each test, move the selector lever to Neutral, run the engine at 1000 rpm tocool the transmission.

3. To check downshift valve action, leave the vacuum to the vacuum diaphragm at 0-2 inches.Position the downshift linkage in the wide open throttle position (through the detent) and repeatthe 1-2 shift test. The speed at the shift point should be higher.

Air Pressure Checks

A NO DRIVE condition can exist, even with correct transmission pressure, because of inoperativeclutches or bands. On automatic transmissions, an erratic shift can be caused by a stuck governor valve.The inoperative units can be located through a series of checks by substituting air pressure for fluidpressure to determine the location of the malfunction.

When the selector lever is at 2, a NO DRIVE condition may be caused by an inoperative forward clutch. aNO DRIVE condition at D may be caused by an inoperative forward clutch or one-way clutch. Whenthere is no drive in 1, the difficulty could be caused by improper functioning of the forward clutch orsimultaneous malfunction of the low-reverse band and the one-way clutch. Failure to drive in reverserange could be caused by a malfunction of the reverse-high clutch or low-reverse band or clutch.

When you have a slip problem but don’t know whether it is in the valve body or in the hydraulicsystem beyond the valve body, the air pressure tests can be very valuable.

Figure 13Case Fluid Passage Hole Identification – C-6Automatic

Figure 14 Fluid Passage Hole Identification- AOD

To make the air pressure checks, drain the transmission fluid and remove the oil pan and the controlvalve body assembly. The inoperative clutches or bands can be located by introducing air pressureinto the various transmission case passages (Figs. 12, 13 and 14).

Reverse-High Clutch

Apply air pressure to the reverse-high clutch (Figs. 12, 13, or 14.) A dull thud indicates that thereverse-high or rear clutch piston has moved to the applied position. If no noise is heard, place thefingertips on the clutch drum and again apply air pressure to detect movement of the piston.

Intermediate Servo

Hold the air nozzle in the front servo apply tube or the intermediate servo apply passages (Figs. 12 or13). Operation of the servo is indicated by a tightening of the front or intermediate band around thedrum on C-6 Transmissions. Continue to apply air pressure to the servo apply tube or passage, andintroduce air pressure into the front release tube or the intermediate servo release pressure. The frontor intermediate servo should release the band against the apply pressure.

Low-Reverse Servo

Apply air pressure to the low-reverse servo (Figures 12 or 13).

If the servos do not operate, disassemble, clean, and inspect them to locate the source of the trouble.

If air pressure applied to either of the clutch passages fails to operate a clutch or operates both clutchesat once, remove, and with air pressure, check the fluid passages in the case and front pump to detectobstructions.

Low-Reverse Clutch

Apply air pressure to the low-reverse clutch apply passage (Figure 14). A dull thud should be heardif the clutch is operating properly. If the passages are clear, remove the clutch assemblies, and cleanand inspect the malfunctioning clutch to locate the trouble.

Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill

Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate periodic automatic transmissionfluid changes.

If a major repair, such as a clutch band, bearing, etc., is required in the transmission, it will have to beremoved for service. At this time the converter, transmission cooler and cooler lines must bethoroughly flushed to remove any dirt.

On light trucks equipped with automatic transmissions the following should apply:

When used under continuous or severe conditions, the transmission and the torque converter shouldbe drained and refilled with the specified fluid at intervals directed in the maintenance or ownersmanual.

See the Truck Performance Specifications book for fluid requirements.

Note: Fluid level indicator should be used to determine actual fluid requirements.Check fluid level when the transmission is at normal operating temperature. Donot overfill.

Procedures for partial drain and refill, due to in-vehicle repair operation, are as follows:

1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist or jack stands.

2. Place a drain pan under the transmission.

3. Loosen the pan attaching bolts and drain the fluid from the transmission.

4. When the fluid has drained to the level of the pan flange, remove the rest of the pan boltsworking from the rear and both sides of the pan to allow it to drop and drain slowly.

5. When all fluid has drained from the transmission, remove and thoroughly clean the pan andthe screen. Discard the pan gasket.

6. Place a new gasket on the pan, and install the pan on the transmission.

7. Add 2.8 liters (3 quarts) of fluid to the transmission through the filler tube.

8. Check the fluid level.

Oil Cooler Tube

When fluid leakage is found from the oil cooler, the cooler must be replaced. Cooler replacement isdescribed in the Cooling System section.

When one or more of the fluid cooler steel tubes must be replaced, each replacement tube must befabricated from the same size steel tubing as the original line.

Using the old tube as a guide, bend the new tube as required. Add the necessary fittings, and install thetube.

After the fittings have been tightened, add fluid as needed, and check for fluid leaks.

Cleaning and Inspection

Transmission

Clean the parts with suitable solvent and use moisture-free air to dry off all the parts and clean outfluid passages.

The composition clutch plates, control valve body to-screen gasket, bands and synthetic seals shouldnot be cleaned in a vapor degreaser or with any type of detergent solution. To clean these parts, wipethem off with a lint-free cloth. New clutch plates or bands should be soaked in transmission fluidspecified for that transmission type for fifteen minutes before being assembled.

Control Valve Body

1. Clean all parts thoroughly in clean solvent, and blow dry with moisture-free compressed air. If thevalve body-to-screen gasket is removed, the gasket should not be cleaned in a degreaser, solvent orany type of detergent solution. To clean the gasket, wipe it off with a lint-free cloth.

2. Inspect all valve and plug bores for scores. Check all fluid passages for obstructions. Inspect thecheck valve for free movement. Inspect all mating surfaces for burrs or distortion. Inspect all plugsand valves for burrs or scores. Use crocus cloth to polish valves and plugs. Avoid rounding thesharp edges of the valves and plugs with the cloth.

Converter and Oil Cooler

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch platematerial or band material may have been carried into the converter and oil cooler. These contaminantsare a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and MUST be removed from the system before thetransmission is put back into service.

Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts or because thevalve body sticks from foreign material, the converter and oil cooler MUST be cleaned by using theRotundra torque Converter Cleaner (model 140028) or equivalent. Under NO circumstances should anattempt be made to clean converters by hand agitation with solvent.

Inspect the case for cracks and stripped threads. Inspect the gasket surfaces and mating surfacesfor burrs. Check the vent for obstructions, and check all fluid passages for obstructions and leakage.(Figs. 13, 14, and 15).

Inspect the case bushing for scores. Check all parking linkage parts for wear or damage.

If a transmission case thread is damaged, service kits may be purchased from local jobbers. Torepair a damaged thread, the following procedures should be carefully followed.

1. Drill out the damaged threads using the same drill size as the thread outside diameter. Forexample, use a 5/16 inch drill for a 5/16-18 thread.

2. Select the proper special tap and tap the drilled hole. The tap is marked for the size of the threadbeing repaired. Thus, the special tap marked 5/16-18 will not cut the same thread as a standard

Appendix C, C-6 Automatic Transmission

Service

DescriptionThe C-6 transmission is a three speed unit capable of providing automatic upshifts and downshifts

through the three forward gear ratios. The transmission is also capable of providing manual selectionof first and second gears.

Figure 2 shows the location of the converter, frontpump, clutches, gear train and most of theinternal parts used in the C-6 transmission. Theidentification tag (Figure 1), attached to theintermediate servo (Figure 5) lower front coverbolt, includes the model prefix, suffix and serialnumber.

The first line on the tag shows the transmission model prefix and suffix. A number appearing afterthe suffix indicates that the internal parts in the transmission have been changed after initial productionstart-up. For example, a PGD-BN model transmission that has been changed internally would readPGD-BN1. Both transmissions are basically the same, but some service parts in the PGD-BNtransmission are slightly different than the PGD-BN1 transmission. Therefore, it is important that thecodes on the transmission identification tag be checked when ordering parts or making inquiries aboutthe transmission.

The hydraulic control system schematic is shown in Figure 4. The converter housing and the fixedsplines which engage the splined outside diameter of the low-reverse clutch steel plates, are both castintegrally into the case.

Only one (intermediate) band is used in the C-6 transmission. This, along with the forward clutch, isused to obtain intermediate gear.
