GENERAL INFORMATIONTRANSMISSION APPLICATION
Chrysler 30RH and 32RH automatic transmissionsare used in XJ/YJ models. Both transmissions arethree speed, automatics with a gear-type oil pump,two clutches and bands and a planetary gear system(Fig. 1). The 30RH is used with 2.5L engines and the32RH is used with 4.0L engines.
TORQUE CONVERTER
A three element, torque converter is used for allapplications. The converter consists of the impeller,stator, and turbine.The converter used with all 30RH/32RH transmis-sions is equipped with a converter clutch. The clutchis engaged by an electrical solenoid and mechanicalclutch module on the valve body. The solenoid is op-erated by the powertrain control module.The impeller is connected to the engine crankshaftthrough the front cover which is welded to the impel-ler. The turbine is splined to the transmission inputshaft and the stator is splined to the transmission re-action shaft.The torque converter is a welded assembly and isnot a repairable component. The converter is servicedas an assembly.
RECOMMENDED FLUID
The recommended (and preferred) fluid for 30RH/ 32RH transmissions is Mopar ATF Plus, Type 7176.Mopar Dexron II can be used but only if ATF Plusis not available.Transmission fluid capacity is approximately 17pints (7.9 liters). This is the approximate amount of fluid required to fill the transmission and torque con-verter after overhaul.
TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION
The transmission identification numbers arestamped on the left side of the case just above the oilpan gasket surface (Fig. 2). The first set of numbersis the transmission part number. The next set of codenumbers set is the date of build. The final set of codenumbers represents the transmission serial number.
SPECIFICATIONS AND BAND ADJUSTMENTS
Service specifications and torque values are locatedat the end of this group. Refer to the specificationsduring service operations.
The band adjustment specifications for 1994transmissions are different. Refer to the frontand rear band adjustment procedures in the In-Vehicle Service section for details.
PARTS INTERCHANGEABILITY
The 1994 version of the 30RH (A904) transmissionis similar to previous models in appearance only. Thecurrent 30RH is quite different and interchangingnew/old parts is definitely not recommended. Differ-ent component dimensions, fluid passages, input/out-put shafts, cases, bands, valve bodies and governorassemblies are just a few of the changed items. The32RH transmission is also different from previousmodels and the same recommendations apply here aswell.
CAUTION: On YJ models with a 2.5L engine and30RH transmission, special bolts are used to attachthe driveplate to the crankshaft. These bolts have asmaller hex head for torque converter clearance.DO NOT interchange these bolts with similar sizebolts for any reason.
TRANSMISSION CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS
The transmission hydraulic control system per-forms five basic functions, which are:
•
pressure supply
•
pressure regulation
•
flow control
•
clutch/band apply and release
•
lubrication
Pressure Supply And Regulation
The oil pump generates the fluid working pressureneeded for operation and lubrication. The pump isdriven by the torque converter. The converter is con-nected to the engine crankshaft through the drive-plate.The pressure regulator valve maintains operating(line) pressure. The regulator valve is located in thevalve body. The amount of line pressure developed is

controlled by throttle pressure, which is dependenton the degree of throttle opening.The governor valve is operated by the transmissionoutput shaft. Governor pressure increases in propor-tion to vehicle speed.The throttle valve determines line pressure andshift speed. The throttle valve also controls upshiftand downshift speeds by regulating pressure in con- junction with throttle position.
Shift Valves
The manual valve is operated by the gearshift link-age and provides the operating range selected by thedriver.The 1-2 shift valve provides automatic 1-2 or 2-1shifts and the 2-3 shift valve provides automatic 2-3or 3-2 shifts. The kickdown valve provides forced 3-2or 3-1 downshifts depending on vehicle speed. Down-shifts occur when the throttle is opened beyonddownshift detent position which is just before wideopen throttle.The 2-3 valve throttle pressure plug provides 3-2downshifts with varying throttle openings and de-pending on vehicle speed. The 1-2 shift control valvetransmits 1-2 shift pressure to the accumulator pis-ton to control kickdown band capacity on 1-2 upshiftsand 3-2 downshifts.The shuttle valve has two functions. First is fastfront band release and smooth engagement duringlift-foot 2-3 upshifts. The second is to regulate frontclutch and band application during 3-2 downshifts.
Clutches-Bands-Servos-Accumulator
The front/rear clutch pistons and servo pistons areactuated by line pressure. When line pressure is re-moved, the pistons are released by spring tension.On 2-3 upshifts, the front servo piston is releasedby spring tension and hydraulic pressure. The accu-mulator controls hydraulic pressure on the apply sideof the front servo during 1-2 upshifts and at allthrottle openings.
Converter Clutch Controls
Converter clutch operation is controlled by thepower train control module, and by the solenoid andclutch module on the valve body. The solenoid is op-erated by a relay on the engine compartment side of the dash panel.Activating the solenoid opens a vent allowing fluidto flow into the clutch module. When line pressureexceeds tension of the module valve springs, themodule valves open. This allows fluid to be chan-neled to the converter clutch through the reactionshaft support and transmission shaft.
Gearshift And Parking Lock Controls
The gearshift lever provides six operating posi-tions: Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and the D,2 and 1 forward drive ranges.Manual 1 position provides first gear only. Overrunbraking occurs in 1 range when the throttle is re-leased. Upshifts are not provided in 1 range.Manual 2 range provides first and second gear. A1-2 upshift will take place but a 2-3 upshift will notoccur.D position provides 1-2, 2-3 upshifts and 3-2 and3-1 downshifts.Park position allows the park rod to move the park pawl into engagement with the park gear. This pre-vents rotation of the transmission output shaft. Thepark lock mechanism is only engaged when the shiftlever is in the Park detent.A park/neutral position switch controls enginestarting. The switch is designed to allow enginestarts only in park or neutral positions.
