DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

PRELIMINARY TESTS
FLUID LEVEL
Always check the fluid level in the
brake master cylinder reservoirs before performing the test procedures.
If necessary, top up the master
cylinder reservoirs to the level indicated on the side of the reservoir,
using only the specified brake fluid,
Motorcraft Brake Fluid.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTERS
Push the brake pedal down as far
as it will go while the car is standing.
If the car is equipped with power
brakes, the engine should be running
while making this test. If the brake
pedal travels more than half-way
between the released position and
the floor, check the automatic adjusters for being inoperative. To check
adjuster operation, make several
sharp reverse stops (equivalent to 50
pounds pedal pressure) with a forward stop before each. Move the
vehicle forward for a distance of
approximately ten feet; then reverse
for ten feet, apply the brakes sharply
and hold the brake pedal down until
the vehicle is completely stopped. This
will actuate the brake self-adjusters.
If these stops do not bring the brake
pedal travel within specification,
make several additional forward and
reverse stops as outlined above.
If the second series of stops do
not bring the brake pedal travel
within specifications, remove the
brake drums and check the brake
adjusters to make sure $ey are
functioning. Check the brake linings
for wear or damage. R,epair or replace
all worn or damaged parts and nonfunctioning adjusters. Adjust the
brake lining outside diameter to the

approximate inside diameter of the


brake drum.
If all the brake adjusters, brake
drums and linings are functional and
the brake travel is not within specifications, check the pedal linkage for
missing or worn bushings, or loose
attachments. Bleed the brakes.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
If the car is equipped with power
brakes, shut off the engine and ex-
haust all vacuum from the booster
system before performing this tesL
Depress the brake pedal and hold
it in the applied position. If the pedal
gradually falls away under this pressure, the hydraulic system is leaking.
Check all tubing, hoses, and connections for leaks.
If the brake pedal movement feels
spongy, bleed the hydraulic system
to remove air from the lines and
cylinder. See Hydraulic System
Bleeding, Page 2-3. Also, check for
leaks or insufficient fluid.

- POWER BRAKE FUNCTIONAL TEST


With the transmission in neutral,
stop the engine and apply the parking brake. Depress the service brake
pedal several times to exhaust all
vacuum in the system. Then, depress
the pedal and hold it in the applied
position. Start the engine. If the
vacuum system is operating the pedal
will tend to fall away under foot
pressure and less pressure will be
required to hold the pedal in the
applied position. If no action is felt,
the vacuum booster system is not
functioning.
Refer to Table .1, Page 2-6.
For booster removal and installation procedures refer to Page 2-20.

For cleaning and inspection refer


- to Page _2-4.

LOCKED BRAKES
Should one of the brakes be locked
and the car must be moved, open the
brake cylinder bleeder screw long
enough to let out a few drops of
brake fluid. This bleeding opera-

don will release the brakes, but


it will not correct the cause or
the trouble.
BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
The three tests listed below are
applicable to all models with either
drum or disc brakes.
1. Tum the ignition switch to
the ON position. If the light on the
brake warning lamp illuminates, the
condition may be caused by:
(a) a defective switch.
(b) grounded switch wires.
(c) the differential valve switch not
having been reset after having
been activated.

The differential valve switch is


spring loaded. and does not have to be
reset, however it must be removed
from the .master cylinder to allow the
differential valve to centralise. The
valve is self-centering only when the
switch is removed. When either system is being bled the switch must be
removed to prevent damage to the
plunger. Except on G.T. vehicles
when the valve must be centralised
by relieving pressure in the appropriate system after bleeding.

2. Tum the ignition switch to the


START position. If the brake
warning lamp does not light, check
the bulb and wiring for defects and
repair or replace as necessary.

PART 2-1-GENERAL BRAKE SERVICE


3. If the brake warning lamp
does not light when a pressure
differential condition exists in the
brake system, -the condition may be
caused by:
(a) burnt out warning lamp.
(b) inoperative warning lamp switch.
(c) open circuit in switch to lamp

wiring.

mph to check for the c:xistence of the


trouble symptoms listed in Table 1 ,
Page 2-6 with the exception of those
resolved in the preliminary tests and
brake chatter. For each of the symptoms encountered, check and eliminate the causes which are also listed in
Table 1. To check for brake chatter
or surge apply the brakes lightly
from approximately 50 mph.

ROAD TEST

The car should be road tested only


if the brakes will safely stop the car.
Apply the brakes at a speed of 25-30

If the preliminary tests show that


the booster is inoperative or if a hard
pedal condition still exists after
eliminating the cause of Hard Pedal

2-3

listed in Table 2, Page 2-7 the trouble


may be caused by vacuum leakage.
Disconnect the vacuum line at the
booster, remove the vacuum manifold and check valve assembly, and
look for a sticking or faulty check
valve. Check all vacuum connections
for leakage or obstruction. Check all
hoses for a leaking or collapsed condition. Repair or replace parts as
necessary.
If the trouble persists, replace the
vacuum booster. The booster is not a
serviceable item and if found defective must be replaced.

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

The brake systems of all car models


are designed to permit full stroke of
the master cylinder when the brake
pedal is fully depressed.
No brake pedal clearance adjustment is required or provided for.
With the brake master cylinder outlet
lineS disconnected and the brake
pedal fully depress~ at approximately 50 lbs. force, the brake pedal
assembly should not touch the dash
panel if the brake system is correctly

installed.
PARKING BRAKE LINKAGE
ADJUSTMENTALL MODELS

Check the parking brake cables


when the brakes are fully reltased.
If the cables are loose, adjust them
as follows:
1. Fully release the parking brake

handle.
2. Raise the car.
3. Turn the adjustment nut forward against the equalizer until a
moderate drag is felt when turning
rear wheels.
4. Slacken the adjustment until
the rear wheels are just free to rotate.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING

When any part of the hydraulic


system has been disconnected for
repair or replacement, air may get
into the lines and cause spongy pedal
action. Bleed the hydraulic system
after it has been properly connected
to be sure that all air is expelled from
the brake cylindel'$ or disc brake
calipers and lines.
The hydraulic system can be bled
manually or with pressure bleeding
equipment.

With disc brakes, more pumping .


of the pedal is required and more
frequent checking of the master
cylinder may be necessary while
bleeding.

On all vehicles except the G.T. the


warning light switch must be removed
from the master cylinder prior to
bleeding the system or after brake
malfunction; if this is not done the
switch maybe damaged.
MANUAL BLEEDING

The primary and secondary (front


and rear) hY.draulic brake systems are
individual -systems and are bled
separately. Bleed the longest line
first on the individual system being
serviced. During the complete
bleeding - operation, DO NOT
allow the reservoir to run dry.
Keep the master cylinder reservoirs
filled with Motorcraft brake -fluid.
Do not mix low temperature brake fluids with the ~ci
fied fluid during the bleeding
operations. Never re-use brake
fluid which has been drained
from the hydraulic system.

1. To bleed the secondary (rear)


brake system, position a suitable
i in. ring spanner (Fig. 1) on the
bleeder fitting on the brake wheel
cylinder. Attach a rubber drain tube
to the bleeder fitting. The end of the
tube should fit snugly around the
bleeder fitting.
2. Submerge the free end of the
tube in a container partially filled
with clean brake fluid, and loosen the
bleeder fitting approximately ! of a
turn.
3. Push the brake pedal down
slowly through its full travel. Close
the bleeder fitting, then return the
pedal to the full release position.
Repeat this operation until air
bubbles cease to appear at the submerged end of the bleeder tube.
4. When the fluid is completely
free of air bubbles, close the bleeder
fitting and remove the bleeder tube.

FIG. 1 - Wrench for Bleeding


Brake Hydraulic System
5. Repeat this procedure at the
brake wheel cylinder on the opposite
side. Refill the master cylinder reservoir after each wheel cylinder is bled
and install the master cylinder cover
and gasket. Be sure the diaphragm
type gasket is properly positioned in the master cylinder
cover. When the bleeding operation is completed, the fluid level
should be filled to within i ln. of
the top of the reservoirs.
6. If the primary (front brake)
system is to be bled, repeat steps 1-5
at the left front brake caliper or
cylinder and ending at the right front
brake caliper or cylinder.
7. On disc brake equipped models
be sure that the front brake pistons
are returned to their normal positions
and that the pad and lining assemblies are properly seated by depressing the brake pedal several times until
normal pedal travel is established.
8~ Replace the warning light
switch.
*G.T. only. Centralize the differential
valve (Page 2-4).
PRESSURE BLEEDING

Bleed the longest lines first. The


bleeder tank should contain enough
new Brake Fluid to complete the
bleeding operation. Use Motorcraft
Brake Fluid.
Do not mix low temperature brake
fluid with the specified brake fluid
during the bleeding operations. Never

GROUP 2-BRAKES

2-4
re-use brake fluid that has been
drained from the hydraulic system.
The tank should be charged with
approximately 10 to 30 pounds of air
pressure. Never exceed 50 pounds
pressure.
1. Remove the warning light
switch from the master cylinder
prior to bleeding the system. If this
is not done the switch may be

damaged.
2. Clean all dirt from the master
cylinder reservoir cover.
3. Remove the master cylinder
reservoir cover and rubber gasket,
and fill the master cylinder reservoir
with the specified brake fluid. Install
the pressure bleeder adapter tool to
the master cylinder and attach the
bleeder tank hose to the fitting on
tHe adaptor.
Master cylinder pressure bleeder
adaptor tools can be obtained from
the various manufacturers of pressure bleeding equipment. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer
when installing tlte adaptor.
4. If the rear wheel cylinders, the
secondary brake system, are to be
bled, position a i inch ring spanner
(Fig. 1) on the bleeder fitting on the
left rear brake wheel cylinder.
Attach a bleeder tube to the
bleeder fitting. The end of the tube
should fit snugly around the bleeder
fitting.
5. Open the valve on the bleeder
tank to admit pressurized brake fluid
to the master cylinder reservoir.
6. Submerge the free end of the
tube in a container partially filled

EJ

with clean brake fluid, and loosen the


bleeder fitting.
7. When air bubbles cease to
appear in the fluid at the submerged
end of the bleeder tube, close the
bleeder fitting and remove the tube.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 at the right
rear wheel cylinder.
9. If the vehicle is equipped with
disc brakes, repeat steps 4 to 7,
starting at the left front disc caliper
and ending at the right front disc
caliper.
10. If the vehicle contains drumtype front brakes and the primary
(front) brake system is to be bled,
repeat steps 4 to 7 starting at the left
front wheel cylinder ending at the
right front wheel cylinder.
11. When the bleeding operation
is completed, close the bleeder tank
valve and remove the tank hose from
the adaptor fitting.
12. On disc brake equipped vehicles, be sure that the front brake
pistons are returned to their normal
positions and that the shoe and lining
assemblies are properly seated by
depressing the brake pedal several
times until normal pedal travel is
established.
13. Remove the Pressure Bleeder
Adaptor Tool. Fill the master cylinder reservoirs to within i inch of the
top. Install the master cylinder cover
and gasket. Be sure the diaphragm
type gasket is properly positioned in
the master cylinder cover.
14. Replace the warning light
switch in the tntiter cylinder.

*CENTRAUZING THE
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL
VALVE. G.T. ONLY.
After a failure of the primary
(front brake) orsecondary(rearbrake)
system has been repaired and bled,
the dual-brake warning light will
usually continue to be illuminated due
to the pressure differential valve
remaining in the off-center position.
To centralize the pressure differential valve and turn off the warning
light after a repair operation, a pressure differential or unbalance condition must be created in the opposite
brake system from the one that was
repaired or bled last.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the
ACC or ON position. Loosen the differential valve assembly brake tube
nut at the outlet port on the opposite
side of the brake system that was
wheel balanced, repaired and/or bled
last. Depress the brake pedal slowly
to build line pressure until the pressure differential valve is moved to a
centralized position and the brake
warning light goes out; then, immediately tighten the outlet port tube
nut.
2. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoirs and flU them to
within 1/4 inch of the top with the
specified brake fluid, if necessary.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position.
4. Before driving the vehicle, check
the operation of the brakes and be
sure that a firm pedal is obtained.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

DISC BRAKES
1. Remove the wheel and tyre
and the shoe and lining assemblies as
outlined on Page 2-22.
2. On all models make thickness
measurements with a micrometer
across the thinnest section of the shoe
and lining. If the assembly has worn
to a thickness of 0.230 inch Girling
.190 P.B.R. (shoe and lining together)
or 0.030 inch (lining material only)
at any one of three measuring
locations or if there is more than
0.125 taper from end to end or if
lining shows evidence of brake fluid
contamination, replace all (4) shoe
and lining assemblies on both front
wheels.
3. Check the caliper to spindle
attaching bolts torque. Torque them
to specification, if required.
4. To check rotor runout, first

eliminate the wheel bearing end play


by tightening the adjusting nut.
After tightening the nut, check to see
that the rotor can still be rotated.
S. Clamp a dial indicator to the
caliper housing so that the stylus
contacts the rotor at a point approximately 1 inch from the outer edge.
Rotate the rotor and take an indicator
reading. If the reading exceeds 0. 003
inch total lateral runout on the indicator, replace or resurface the disc
brake rotor. The following requirement must be met when resurfacing
disc brake rotors.
The finished braking surface of the
rotor must be flat and parallel within
0. 007 inch; lateral runout must not
exceed 0. 003 inch total indicator
reading, braking surfaces are to be
80/15 micro inches.
On all models the minimum limit-

ing dimension from the inboard


bearing cup to the inboard rotor face
and the minimum rotor thickness

dimension, must be observed when
removing material from the rotor
braking surfaces. A disc and gauge
bar (R1102-A) is to be used when
checking minimum dimensions (Fig.
2). When the periphery of the disc
contacts the gauge bar the rotor must
be replaced.
When the runout check is finished
be sure to adjust the bearings as outlined in group 3 in order to prevent
bearing failure.
8. Check the rotor for scoring.
Minor scores can be removed with a
fine emery cloth. If the rotor is
~cessively scored, refinish it as outlined in step 5 or replace the rotor,
if required.
7. ViSually check the caliper. If
the caliper housing is leaking it
should be replaced. If a seal is leaking
the caliper must be disassembled and
new seals installed. If a piston is
seized in the bore a new caliper
housing is required.
8. If upon disassembly the caliper
is found to be distorted or damaged
or if the cylinder bores are scored or
excessively worn replace the caliper
assembly.
Check the brake hoses for signs of
cracking, leaks or abrasion. Replace
them if necessary.

PRECAUTIONS

1. Grease or any other foreign


material must be kept off the caliper
assembly, surfaces of the rotor and
external surfaces of the hub during
service operations. Handling of the
rotor and caliper assemblies should
be done in a way to avoid deformation of the brake rotor and nicking or
scratching of brake linings.
2. If a caliper piston is removed
for any reason, the piston seal must
be replaced.
3. During removal and installation of a wheel assembly, exercise
care not to interfere with and damage
the caliper splash shield or the bleeder screw fitting.
4. Front wheel bearing end play
is critical and must be within specifications.
5. Be sure the vehicle is centred
on the hoist before servicing any

DRUM BRAKES

1. Remove the wheel from the


drum, and remove the drum as outlined on Page 2-15. Wash all
the parts except the brake shoes in a
cleaning fluid and dry with compressed air.
2. Brush the dust from the carrier
plate and interior of the brake drum.
3. Inspect the brake shoes for
excessive lining wear or shoe damage.
If the lining is worn to within
inch of the rivet heads or shoe for .
bonded brakes or if the shoes are
damaged, they must be replaced.
Replace the lining in axle sets. Prior
to replacement of the lining, the
drum diameter should be checked to
determine if oversize linings must be
installed.
4. Check the condition of the
brake shoes, retracting springs, and
drum for signs of overheating. If the
shoes have a slight blue colouring, or
if the springs show a change in free
length, indicating overheating, replacement of the retracting and hold
down springs is necessary. Overheated springs lose their tension and
could cause the new lining to wear
prematurely if they are not replaced.
5. If the car has 30,000 or more
miles of operation on the brake
linings or signs of overheating are
present when relining brakes, the
wheel cylinders should be disassembled and inspected for wear
and dirt in the cylinder. The cylinder
cups and other parts contained in the
overhaul kit should be replaced, thus
avoiding future problems.
8. Inspect all other brake parts
and replace any that are worn or
damaged.
7. Inspect the brake drums and
if necessary, refmish. Refer to Page
221 for refinishing.

linings. When contaminated linings
are found, brake linings must be
replaced in complete axle sets.

Check the booster operation as


noted on Page 2,2. Power Brake

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Disc brakes are available as optional equipment for the front wheels
on Falcon models but are standard on
Fairmont, Falcon GT, Fairlane 500
Fairlane Custom and all 8 cylinder
and 250 2V 6 cylinder vehicles. The
dual master cylinder equipped hydraulic brake system employs single
anchor, internal expanding and selfadjusting drum brake assemblies on
the rear wheels of vehicles with disc
brakes, and on the front and rear
wheels of all others.
A vacuum booster is used with the
power disc brake system.

DUAL MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE


SYSTEM
The dual master cylinder brake
system has been incorporated in all
models to provide incrersed safety.
The system consists of a dual master
cylinder which incorporates a pressure differential valve assembly and
a switch (Fig. 6). The switch on
the differential valve activates a dualbrake warning light, located on the
instrument panel.
On both disc and drum brake
systems two front brake tubes are
fitted to the two primary brake outlet
ports (rear) on the master cylinder.
The single tube to the rear brakes is
fitted to the secondary outlet port
(front).
GTONLY.
A
combination
pressure
differential valve warning lamp,
switch and pressure control valve
assembly (proportioning valve) is
fitted on the suspension tower
immediately below the master
cylinder (Fig. 4).
The original differential pressure
valve, which is integral with the
master cylinder is retained to ensure
the integrity of the dual system;
however, the warning lamp switch is
deleted from the master cylinder and
a sealing plug fitted in its place.

feature will be destroyed. as both
systems will be pressurised via a
common chamber.
The
pressure
control
(proportioning) valve (Fig. 4) is
locat~d in the rear system only. It
provides balanced braking action
between the front (disc) and rear
{drum) brakes. The proportioning
valve reduces pressure at the rear
brakes, since equivalent amounts of
hydraulic pressure would cause more
braking by the self energiSing rear
brakes than the non energising front
disc brakes.

DISC BRAKE
The disc brake .consists of a ventilated rotor and caliper assembly. The
caliper used on all models is a single
piston floating caliper (Fig. 7), and
may be of PBR or Girling design.
FLOATING CALIPER GIRLING
The caliper assembly is secured to
the spindle with two safety wired
attaching bolts. The upper attaching
bolt is parallel with the centreline of
the vehicle, and the lower bolt is
transverse to the car centreline.
(Fig. 3/8).
The upper ends of the flexible steel
stabilizer are attached to the caliper
housing ears with two caliper locating
pins.

A single hydraulic piston is fitted
into a bore in the inner portion of the
caliper housing. (Fig. 12). A square
section seal is fitted into an annular
groove in the caliper bore (refer Figs.
1213} and a rubber boot is utilized to
.... " seal the piston and caliper bore
against road splash contamination. A
feed port is provided in the caliper
housing below the piston. A bleed
screw is located in the caliper housing
over the piston to bleed air from the
hydraulic system. It is not necessary
to remove the front wheels to bleed
the brakes.

FLOATING CALIPER P.B.R.

The single piston hydraulic disc


brake caliper is constructed from a
single casting which contains one large
piston bore in the inboard section
of the casting. (Inboard refers to the
side of the casting which is nearest the
centreline of the car when the caliper
is mounted}.
The fluid inlet hole and bleeder
valve hole' are machined into the inboard section of the caliper and connect directly to the piston bore. The
cylinder contains a piston and seal.
The seal has a square section, and
is located in a groove which is
machined in the cylinder bore. It
fits around the outside diameter of
the piston to pr_ovide a hydraulic seal
between the piston and the cylinder
wall.
The top of the piston is machined
to accept a sealing dust boot. The
outside diameter of the boot is pressed
into a recess in the top of the cy
Iinder bore. The inside diameter of
the boot fits into the groove which
is machined in the piston. The piston
is steel, precision ground and chrome
plated giving it a very hard and dura
ble surface. The use of abrasives or
any attempt to re-machine the piston
will destroy the plating.

ENSURE THAT SEAL RETAINER IS IN CORRECT POSITION WITH


SERRATED SIDE OF RETAINER FITTED INSIDE OF SEAL.

Shoe wear is automatically com


pensated for by the sliding caliper
feature. The caliper floats through
two guide pins located inside the
anchor bracket sleeves.
Each caliper contains two shoe and
pad assemblies. They are constructed
of a stamped metal shoe with the
lining integrally moulded to the shoe.
Shoe and pad _assemblies can be removed and replaced only by removing the caliper assembly from its
mounting on the vehicle. The shoes
are not interchangeable.

c::AUPER OPERATION
When the brake pedal is applied,
brake fluid is displaced into the
cylinder moving the piston outward.
This action forces the inner shoe and
iining assembly against the rotor.
The resultant reaction forces the
caliper housing and outboard shoe
and lining assembly inward against
the rotor. Braking torque is tran!lferred from the outer brake shoe
abutments through the caliper housing into the anchor plate. Braking
torque from the inner brake shoe is
taken ~y into the anchor plate.
When the brake pedal is released,
the seal retracts the piston into the
cylinder and the caliper housing
slides outward releasing the brake.

ROTOR
The cast iron disc is of the ventilated rotor-type incorporating forty
fins and is attached to, and rotates
with the wheel hub. A splash shield
bolted to the spindle is used primarily to prevent road contaminants
from contacting the inboard rotor

and lining surfaces. The wheel provides protection for the outboard
surface of the rotor.

DRUM BRAKE
The drum brake system employs
single anchor, internal expanding and
self adjusting brake assemblies.

The self adjusting brake mechanism consists of a cable, cable guide,


adjusting lever, adjusting screw assembly and adjuster spring (Fig. 1S).
The cable is hooked over the anchor
pin at the top and is connected to the
lever at the bottom. The cable is
routed along the web of. the secondary brake shoe by means of the
cable guide.
The adjuster spring is hooked to
the primary brake shoe and to the
lever. The automatic adjuster operates only when the brakes are applied
while the vehicle is moving rearward
and only when the secondary shoe is
free to move toward the drum
beyond a predetermined point.
With the car moving rearward ~d
the brakes applied, the wrap-around
action of i:he shoes following the
drum forces the upper end of the
primary shoe against the anchor pin.
The action of the wheel cylinder
moves the upper end of the secondary shoe away from the anchor pin.
The movement of the secondary shoe
causes the cable to pull the adjusting
lever upward and against the end of a
tooth on the adjusting screw starwheel. The upward travel of the lever
increases as lining wear increases.
When the lever can move upward far
eno1;gh it passes over the end of the
tooth and engages the tooth. When
the brakes are released, the adjusting
spring pulls the lever downward
causing the star-wheel to turn and
expand the shoes. The star-wheel is

uses the vacuum created in the


engine inlet manifold to boost force
applied at the master cylinder push
rod in an exact and controlled
manner.
The assembly is mounted between
the brake pedal and the master
cylinder, with the push rod from the
rear of the unit connected to the
brake pedal, and a push rod from the
front of the unit abuts the master
cylinder piston.
The force which assists the pedal

EJ

effort is obtained by admitting


atmospheric pressure to one side of
both diaphragms which are suspended
in a vacuum. The difference in pressure moves the diaphragms and this
movement is used in a controlled
manner to augment the driver's pedal
effort.
In the case of a vacuum failure, the
valve and rod assembly of the servo
and the master cylinder push rod act
as a single push rod.The brakes will, .
therefore, work in the conventional

manner, but more effort will be


required on the brake pedal.
PARKING BRAKE

An independent hand operated


parking brake control actuates the
rear wheel brake shoes through a
cable linkage, the operating cable is
routed from the parking brake control assembly to the equalizer. The
rear brake cables connect the equalizer assembly to the parking brake
lever at each rear secondary shoe.

IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENTS


- EXCEPT TA:XI

The car should be in a raised position with the wheels off the floor.
The hydraulic service brakes are
self-adjusting and require a manual
adjustment only after the brake
shoes have been relined, replaced, or
when the length of the adjusting
screw has been changed while performing some other service operation.
The brake drums should be at
normal room temperature when adjusting the brake shoes. If the shoes
are adjusted when the drums are hot

and expanded, the shoes may drag


when the . drums are cool and contracted.
1. After the shoes have been installed or the adjusting screw has
been turned, install the drum. Be
sure that all excess grease, oil, and
other foreign material are wiped off
the backing plate and drum.
Before installing the brake drum
on the front wheel spindle, wipe the
spindle completely free of grease.
Install the drum carefully so that the
grease seal retainers within the hub
will not be damaged.
2. Remove the adjusting hole

cover from the backing plate. Working from the backing plate side, turn
the adjusting screw upward to expand
the shoes (Fig. 17). Expand the shoes
until a drag is felt when the drum is
rotated.
3. Remove the drum. Mark thetooth on the star-wheel where the
adjusting lever contacts it. While
holding the adjusting lever out of engagement with the adjusting screw,
back off the adjusting screw i of a

7. When adjusting the rear brake
shoes, check the parking brake cables
for proper adjustment. Make sure
that the equalizer lever operates
freely.
8. After the brake shoes have
been properly adjusted, check the
operation of the brakes.

EJ

1. Raise the car until the wheels


clear the floor. If the car is on a
frame contact hoist, disconnect the
parking brake cables to prevent their
tightening when the rear axle and
springs sag.
2. Remove the adjusting hole
cover from the bottom of the brake
carrier plate, and turn the adjusting
screw ,,..ig. 17} until a' slight drag on
the wheel is noted.
3. Back off the adjustment just
enough to allow the wheel to rotate
freely. If it fails to rotate freely, the
wheel and drum should be removed
and the dust blown off the brake
shoes and carrier plate. Apply a light
coating of Lubricant to the brake
shoe-to-plate contact points. Install
the wheel and drum, and adjust the
brake again. Install the adjusting
hole cover.
4. Adjust the remaining brakes.
5. If necessary, connect and adjust the parking brake cables (see
Page 2-3).
6. When all brake shoes have
been adjusted, check the operation
of the brakes.

HYDRAULIC LINE REPAIR


Steel tubing ' is used throughout
the brake system with the exception
of the flexible hoses at the front
wheels and at the rear axle housing
brake tube connection.

Always bleed the applicable


primary or secondary brake system after primary or secondary

2-15
brake system hose or line replacement. (See Page 2-3).

BRAKE TUBE REPLACEMENT


If a section of the brake tubing becomes damaged, the entire section
should be replaced with tubing of the
same type, size, shape and length .
Copper tubing should not be used in a
hydraulic system. When bending
brake tubing to fit underbody or rear
axle contours, be careful not to kink
or crack the tube.
All brake tubing should be double
flared properly to provide good leakproof connections. Clean the brake
tubing by flushing with clean brake
fluid before installation .
When connecting a tube to a hose,
t~be connector, or brake cylinder,
t1ghten the tube fitting nut to specified
torque with Milbar tool 1112-144 or
equivalent.

BRAKE HOSE REPLACEMENT


A flexible brake hose should be replaced if it shows signs of softening,
cracking, or other damage.
When installing a new front brake
hose, position the hose to avoid contact with other chassis parts. Place a
new copper gasket over the hose fitting and thread the hose" assembly into
the front wheel cylinder. Engage the
opposite end of the hose to the bracket on the frame . Install the horseshoe-type retaining clip, and connect the
tube to the hose with the tube fitting
nut .
A rear brake hose should be installed so that it does not touch the
muffler outlet pipe or shock absorber.
Thread the hose into the rear brake
tube connector. Engage the front end
of the hose to the bracket on the
frame. Install the horseshoe-type retaining clip, and connect the tube to
the h9se with the tu~ fitting nut.

vent installation on the wrong side of
the vehicle, the socket end of the adjusting screw is stamped with an R or
L. (Fig. 21 ). The adjusting pivot nuts
can be distinguished by the number of
grooves machined around the body of
the nut. Two grooves on the nut indicate a .right thread: one groove indi. cates a left thread.
9. Place the adjusting socket on
the screw and install this assembly between the shoe ends with the adjusting
screw toothed wheel nearest the secondary shoe.
10. Hook the cable hook into the
hole in the adjusting lever. The adjusting levers are stamped with an R or L
to indicate their installation on right
or left brake as!\Cmbly (Fig. 21).
II. Position the hooked end of the
;tdjuster spring completely into the
large hole in the primary shoe web.
The last coil of the spring should be at
the edge of the hole . Connect the loop
end of the spring to the adjuster lever
hole.
12. Pull the adjuster lever, cable
and automatic adjuster spring down
and toward the rear to engage the
pivot hook in the large hole in the secondary shoe web (Fig. 15).
13. After installation, check the action of the adjuster by pulling the section of the cable between the cable
guide and the anchor pin toward the
secondary shoe web far enough to lift
the lever past a tooth on the adjusting
screw wheel. The lever should snap
into position behind the next tooth,
and release of the cable should cause
the adjuster spring to return the lever
to its original position. This return action of the lever will turn the adjusting
screw one tooth.
If pulling the cable does not produce the action described, or if the
lever action is sluggish instead of positive and sharp, check the position of
the lever on the adjusting screw
toothed wheel. With the brake in a
vertical position (anchor at the top),
the lever should contact the adjusting
wheel 3/16 inch (plus or minus 1/32
inch) above the centerline of the
screw. If the contact point is below
this centerline, the lever will not lock
on the teeth in the adjusting screw
wheel, and the screw will not be turned
as the lever is actuated by the cable.
To determine the cause of this condition :
a. Check the cable end fittings. The
cable should completely fill or extend
slightly beyond the crimped section of
the fittings. If it does not meet this
specification, possible damage is indicated and the cable assembly should

be replaced.
b. The cable length should measure 9! inches from the end of the
cable anchor to the end of the cable

hook.
c. Check the cable guide for damage. The cable groove should be parallel to the shoe web, and the body of
the guide should' lie flat against the
web. Replace the guide if it shows
damage.
d. Check the pivot hook on the
lever. The hook surfaces should be
square with the body of the lever for
proper pivoting. Replace the lever if
the hook shows damage.
e. See that the adjusting screw
socket is properly seated in the notch
in the shoe web.

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

BRAKE DRUM REFINISHING

ROTOR REFINISHING

Minor scores on a brake drum can


be removed with sandpaper. A drum
that is excessively scored or shows a
total indicator runout of over 0. 007
inch should be turned down. Remove
only enough stock to eliminate the
scores and true up the drum. The
refinished diameter must not exceed
0. 060 inch oversize.
Check the inside diameter of the
brake drum with a brake drum
micrometer.
If the drum diameter is less than
0. 030 inch oversize after refinishing,
standard lining may be installed. If
the drum diameter is 0 .030-0.060
inch oversize after refinishing, oversize lining must be installed.
After a drum is turned down, wipe
the refinished surface with a cloth
soaked in clean denatured alcohol. If
one drum is turned down, the opposite drum on the same axle should
also be cut down to the same size.

The finished braking surfaces of


the rotor must be flat and parallel
within 0 . 0007 inch; lateral runout
must not exceed 0 . 003 inch total indicator reading, and the surface finish
of the braking surfaces are to be
80/15 micro inches. The minimum
limiting dimensions (Fig. 2) from
the inboard bearing cup to the outboard rotor face and from the in
boarq bearing cup to the inboard
rotor face must be observed when
removing material from the rotor
braking surfaces. On all models, the
limiting dimensions are to be measured with a ball and puge bar
(Tool Rll02A).
BRAKE SHOE RELINING
Brake linings that are worn to within -:!1., inch of the rivet head or are
less' than 0 . 030 inch thick (bonded
lining) or have been contaminated

with brake fluid, grease or oil must be


replaced. Failure to replace worn
linings will result in a scored drum.

Whea it is necessary to replace


linings, they must also be replaced on the wheel on the
opposite side of the vehicle.
Inspect brake shoes for distortion,
cracks, or looseness. If this condition
exists, the shoe must be discarded.

Do not attempt to repair a defective brake shoe.


1. Wash the brake shoes thoroughly in a clean solvent. Remove all
burrs or rough spots from the shoes.
2. Check the inside diameter of
the brake drum with a brake drum
micrometer. If the diameter is less
than 0 . 030 inches oversize, standard
lining may be installed. If the diameter is 0 . 030-0. 060 inches oversize, oversize lining should be installed.
3. Position the new lining on the
shoe. Starting in the centre, insert

and secure the rivets, working alternately towards each end. Replacement linings are ground and no
further grinding is required.
4. Check the clearance between
the shoe and lining. The lining must
seat tightly against the shoe with not
more than 0. 008 inch clearance
between any two rivets.

tipped nozzle to remove the piston.
Place a cloth over the piston before
applying air pressure to prevent damage to the piston. If the piston is
seized and cannot be forced from the
caliper, tap lightly around the piston
while applying air pressure. Care
should be taken because the
piston can develop considerable
force due to pressure build up.
5. Remove the dust boot from
the caliper assembly.
6. Remove the rubber piston seal
from the cylinder and discard it.
CU:ANJN(; ANll INSPF.CTION

Clean all metal parts with denatured alcohol or a suitable solvent.


Use clean, dry, compressed air to
clean out and dry the grooves and
passage ways. Be sure that the caliper
bore and component parts are completely free of any foreign material.
Check the cylinder bore and piston
for damage or excessive wear. Replace the piston if it is pitted, scored,
or the chrome plating is worn off.
ASSEMBLY

1. Apply a film of clean brake


fluid to the new caliper piston seal
and install it in the cylinder bore. Be
sure the seal does not become twisted
and that it is seated fully in the
groove.

4. Install the piston retracting
tool in the caliper with the brake shoe
lances positioned in the slots in the
caliper outer legs and retract the
piston.
NOTE: When using the piston retracting tool, turn the threaded rod
one half turn at a time and pause to
permit the piston to move in the seal.
Reduce the time interval as the piston
nears the bottom of the cylinder bore
to ensure bottoming of the piston. If
the piston is not fully bottomed, the
spacing between the linings is insufficient to permit the brake shoe
and caliper assembly to be mounted

over the rotor.


5. Position the new outer brake
shoe and lining assembly on the
caliper and install the outer brake
shoe retaining clips. Hold the retaining pins in position with an Allen
wrench or bolt while installing the
retaining clips.
6. Position the caliper assembly
over the rotor with the outer brake
shoe against the rotor braking surface
during installation in the anchor plate
to prevent pinching the piston boot
between the inner brake shoe and
the piston.
Verify that the correct caliper is
assembled in the correct anchor plate
as marked during disassembly.
7. Position the new stabilizer
(supplied in the brake kit). Apply denatured alcohol or methylated spirits
on the locating pins and attach the
stabilizer to the caliper. Be sure the
locating pins are free of oil,
grease or dirt. Tighten the caliper
locating pins finger tight.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

MANUAL SRERING
Table I Page 3-6 lists various steering gear and linkage trouble symptoms
i!Od possible causes. Several of these
symptoms are also common to suspension frame, and wheel and tyre
troubles. For this reason, be sure that
the cause of the trouble is in the
steering gear or linkage before adjusting, repairing. or replacing any of the
steering parts.

POWER STEERING
PRELIMINARY TESTS
The following preliminary checks
should '\!ways be made before performing any trouble-shooting operations.
Check Pulhp lelt
If the pump belt is broken, glazed,
or worn, replace with a new belt. Use
only the specified type of belt.
Check The lelt Tension
If the belt is too loose or too tight,
it should be adjusted to the proper
tension as outlined on Page 3-25.
A "used belt" Is one that has run
10 minutes or longer.
Check Fluid Level
Run the engine until the fluid is at
normal operating temperature (165
degrees F to 175 degrees F). Then
turn the steering wheel all the way to
the left and right several times, and
shut off the engine.
Check the fluid level in the power
steering reservoir. The level must show
on the cross hatching between the
bottom of the Dipstick and the full
mark (Fig. I). If the level is low, add
automatic transmission fluid M2C33F.
Do not overfill the reservoir.

Check For Pluld Leaks

1. If the power steering ftuid


does not already include yellowish

FIG. 1

Power Steering Pump

Dipstick
green dye, pre-mix one teaspoonful
of oil-soluble aniline dye with 2
pints of automatic transmission ftuid
M2C33-Ft. Then refill the reservoir
with the dye solution.
l. With the eng10e running at idle
speed, turn the steering wheel all the
way to the right stop and to the left
stop several times to distribute the
dye solution throughout the hydraulic
system. Do not hold the wheel against
each wheel stop for more than 3 to
S seconds.
3. Shut off the engine. and check
for leaks.
Fitting and Tube Seat Leak. Since
mo~t fluid leaks occur at the fittings
and connections in a power steering
hydraulic system, these parts should
be checked before any other part is
replaced.
Dirt, oil, and grease should be removed
from all areas where leaks may ex.ist.
If the fittings and conn~:ctions do not
leak, check the other parts of the
~~m.

Check the hose connection at the


pump for leaks, and tighten the hose
clamp if necessary.
Pump Leaks. If leakage occurs at

the pump reservoir seal, pump outlet


valve seals, or the support stud seal,
check the torque of the outlet valve
nut and the support stud aut. If
torque is within specifications, replace
the reservoir seal, outlet valve seals,
or the support stud seal, whichever is
required if leaks are evident other
than the lines.
Steering gear leaks. Should a leak
be found in the steering gear it will
be necessary to remove the gear to
effect repairs. Preloads must be reset
after se.a l replacement. (See Page 3-20)'
Check Turning lffort
With the front wheels properly
aligned and tire pressures correct.
check the effort required to turn the
ateerina wheel.
1. With the car on dry concrete,
set the parkin1 . brakes.
2. With the eaaine warmed up and
runnin1 at idle speed, tum the steer
ina wheel to the left and riaht several
times to warm the fluid.
3. Attach a torque wrench to the
ateerina wheel hub. lFig. 2). Check
the effort required to tum the wheel
at least one complete revolution in
both directions. The torque should be
approximately equal in both directions.

Pump-fluid Pressure Test


A ftuid pressure test will show
whether the pump or some other unit
in the power steerina system is causinJ trouble in the system. Steps outlined below should be followed to de
termine the cause of the trouble.
I. Measure the pump belt tension.
When adjuadaJ the belt tensloa oa
the power ateerin1 pump, do aot pry

2. Disconnect the pressure line
hose from the pump outlet, and install
a 0-2000 psi pressure gauae and shut
off valve between the end of the hose
and the pump outlet (Fig. 3).

7. Increase the engine speed to


1000 rpm; then, slowly close the
gause shut-off valve. With the valve
fully closed, the pump pressure
should be 1275 50 psi.
Do not close the alve for more
than a few seconds (maximum 5 ICC
onds), as tbls would abnormally In
crease the lubricant (lluld) temper
ature and cause undue pump and/ or
steerlna gear wear. En&ine rpm
should not exceed fast Idle durlq

If pressure Is more or ae,. than


speclftcadon, rep..ce the pump as~embly.

If the preceding test results are


satisfactory, proceed as follows:
8. Open the shut off valve fully,
and run the engine at 1000 rpm.

9. Turn the steering wheel to full


lock and read the pressure. If the
pressure is not to specification,
1275 t 50 psi, the steering gear is at
fault and must be removed for repair.
Do not hold the steering gear
against the stop for more than S
seconds.

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT


CHECKS
Do not attempt to check and adjust front wheel alignment without
first making a preliminary inspection
of the front-end parts.
Chec)( all the factors of front wheel
alignment except the turning angle
before making any adjustment~. The
harping angle should be checked only
after caster, camber, and toe-in have
been adjusted to specification.
The front wheel" alignment specifications, given in Part 3-7 are correct only when the car is at "Curb
Height." Before checking or adjusting the alignment factors, the suspension alignment spacers (Tool
T65P3000-B) must be installed to
obtain the curb heights.

3. Connect a tachometer.
4. Start the engine and operate it
at idle speed for at least two minutes
to warm up the fluid.
5. Cycle the steering wheel ti'om
stop-to-stop several times to expel
any air from the system; stop the
engine. Remove the reservoir filler
cap and check the fluid level in the
reservoir. If necessary, add fluid to
the proper level.
8. With the engine running at ap-
proximately 500 rpm and no steering effort applied, and the fluid at
normal operating temperature, the
pressure gauge should show a pressure of less than 50 psi. If the pressure is higher, inspect the hoses for
kinks and obstructions.

caster angles should not exceed 'h o.
However, a difference of not more

CAMBER
Check the camber angle at each
front wheel.
Camber is the amount the front
wheels are tilted at the top (Fig. 7).
If a wheel tilts outward, camber is
positive. If a wheel tilts inward, camber is negative. The correct camber
anaJe, or outward (positive) tilt, is
specified in Part 3 7. The maximum
difference between both front wheel
camber angles should not exceed 'h o.
However, a difference of not more
than lA o is preferred.

TOE-IN
Alignment height spacers are not
used to check and adjust toe-in. Toein should only be checked and ad-

justed after the caster and camber


has been adjusted to specification.
Check the toe-in with the front
wheels in the straight-ahead position. Run the engine so that the
power steering will be in the
centre (neutral) position (if so
equipped).
Measure the distance between the extreme front and
also between the extreme rear of both
front tyres. The difference between
these two distances is the toe-in.

and toe-in adjustments and should,


therefore, be measured only after
these adjustments have been made. If
the turning angle does not measure to
specifications, check the spindle or
other suspension parts for a bent condition.

Correct toe-in, or inward pointing


of both front wheels at the front, is
specified in Part 3-7.
FRONT WHEEL TURNING
ANGLE
When the inside wheel is turned
20, the turning angle of the outside

When carrying out the check of
caster angle, it is possible that the
lower strut arm bushes may not
always be under equal compression
and therefore, will tend to bias the
strut rod in a forward or rearward
position, thus afFecting the steering
caster angle when the wheels are
turned through their checking positions.

TESTING
To check a shock absorber removed from a car proceed as fol
lows:
1. Hold the shock absorber in the
vertical position w i t h the piston
in the same position, push in the piston rod until the shock is extended to
its full length.
2. With the shock absorber held
in the same position, push in the pis
ton rod until the .shock is compressed
to its shortest length.
3, Repeat steps 1 and 2 several
times until all the air is expelled.
4. Clamp the lower end (small di
ameter) in a vise in a vertical posi
tion.
S. Extend the shock to its full
length and then compress it to its
shortest length. There should be a
constant drag during the complete
cycle. Any sudden loss of drag indi
cates air in the system, loss of fluid,
or faulty internal valve operation.
Replace defective shock absorbers.

UPPER BALL JOINT INSPECTION

WHEEL BALANCING
See the instructions provided with
the .Wheel Balancer.

1. Raise the car on a frame contact hoist or by ftoor jacjcs placed

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

fRONT SUSPINSION
Each front wheel rotates on a
spindle. The upper and lower ends of
the spindle are attached to upper and
lower ball joints which are mounted
to an upper and lower arm respectively. The upper arm pivots on a bush
inJ and shaft assembly which is bolted
to the underbody. The lower arm
pivots on a bolt that il located in an
underbody bracket (Fip. 14 and 22 ).
A coil sprina seats between the upper arm and the top of the sprina
housina. A double actina shock absorber is bolted to the arm and the
top of the sprina housina.
The swivelina action of the ball
joints allow the wheel and spindle assemblies to move up and down with
chanaes in road surface. The swivelina ball joints also permit the spindles
and wheels to be tumed to the left or
riaht by the steerinaaear and linkage.
The pivotin~ action of the suspension arms provides an up ad dowa
movement for the spindles and wheels
as required by bumps or depressions
in the road surface. The coil sprinp,
shock absorbers and stabilizer bar
control the front suspension up and
down movements. The struts, which
are connected between the suspension
lower arms and the underbody prevent the suspension arms from movina forward and backward.

REAR SUSPENSION
Each rear wheel hub and brake
drum assembly is bolted to the
rear axle shaft flange. The wheel
and axle shaft assembly rotates in
the rear axle housing. Two spring

pads integral with the axle housing


rest on a spring plate and rubber
insulator. These are located on two
leaf-type springs. The axle housing
is fastened to the springs by spring
clips (U-bolts), spring clip plates
and nuts. (Figs. 16 and 26.) Each
spring is suspended from the underbody: side rail by a hanger at the
front and shackle at the rear: The
upper end of each shock absorber
is mounted to a bracket in the
. underbody. The lower end is mounted to the spring clip plate.
The springs and shock absorbers
provide for up and down movement
of the rear axle and wheels as required by changes in the road surface. They also cushion road shocks.
Falcon vehicles fitted with the
351 CID engine and improved handling suspension and the GT Falcon
are fitted with rear axle radius rods
to give more positive location under
heavy acceleration.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION
The Bendix-Bishop Variable Ratio
Integral Steering Gear is an entirely
new unit, and has unique features
designed to reduce steering wheel
turns, increase road 'feel' and simplify maintenance.
The term 'Integral' is used to
denote that the power cylinder and
valve mechanism are incorporated in
the steering gear itself, as distinct
from having a separate booster cylinder and valve as with linkage-boosted
gears. The hydraulic oil supplied
from the power steering pump serves
to lubricate the gear mechanism.
No bleeding of this unit is required.
'Variable Ratio' refers to the fact
that steering in the straight-ahead
position is substantially less direct
than in turns, to such an extent that,
whereas four turns of the steering
wheel would be required if the 'on
centre' ratio were used constantly
from lock to lock; in fact, only 2*
are needed with this system. This
feature is provided by a variable
pitch hourglass worm.
Hydraulic oil flows continually
from the pump mounted on the
engine to the steering gear at a
regulated constant flow of about
two gallons per minute, but for nor-

Bendix-Bishop Variable
Ratio Steering Gear

mal driving very little pressure is


required to maintain the flow, and
hence little power is absorbed. When
turning or parking however, the free
flow of oil is restricted by the rotary
valve; pressure builds up almost in

PART 3-3- POWER STEERING

3-21

stantly in the system iUld is directed


by the valve to whichev~r. side of the
power cylinder is appropriate to assist
the driver, thus engine power is
absorbed only when needed.
The manual and power sections
of this steering gear are arranged
one above the other as shown in
Figure 30 and have individual adjustments for lash. Thus, should wear
occur in the power section of the
gear and not be adjusted, this will
not affect the fine adjustment of the
manual section, which feature is important in retaining accurate slackfree steering. The manual section is
only subjected to very light loads
under all normal circumstances.
The manual section shown in
Figure 31 comprises an hourglass
worm which engages a single roller
follower mounted on needle bearings
in the sector shaft shown in section
in this view. The thread of the hourglass worm has a different pitch or
lead in the middle where it controls
the 'on centre' driving ratio, to that
towards the ends, where it controls
the cornering ratio. There are no
sharp changes of ratio so that the
effects of this variation are not discernible to the driver except as an
overall reduction in wheel turns.
. Between the worm and the input
shaft is located the rotary valve
whose function is to sense the appropriate conditions calling for the app- .
lication of power assistance.
The hydraulic pump, belt-driven
from the engine crankshaft, draws
fluid from the reservoir and provides
fluid pressure for the system. Within
the pump itself is a pressure-relief
valve which governs the pressures
within the steering system according
to the varying conditions of operation. After fluid has passed from the
pump to the steering box it returns
to the reservoir.
The power steering pump is a
slipper type pump which is integral
with the reservoir. It is constructed
~o that the reservoir is attached to
the rear side of the pump housing
front plate and the pump body is
encased within the reservoir.

OPERATION
The term 'Rotary valve' is used
because valve operation relies on

relative rotation between the parts,


not longitudinal sliding as for most
valves. The valve as a whole, comprising an inner member which forms
part of the input shaft, and the
surrounding sleeve member rotates in
the steering gear housing as the
steering wheel is turned, but it is only
a slight relative rotation between the
shaft and the sleeve that is used to
direct and control the flow of oil.
Oil is communicated to and from
the valve to the pump and to the
left and right hand sides of the power
assist piston by circumferential grooves separated by the Teflon seals
in the outside of the sleeve. The
sleeve is coupled by a pin drive to the
worm while the input shaft is coupled to it by a torsion bar.
Operation of the valve in the
left turn is shown in Figure 32
where the sleeve and input shaft are
both broken away to show the central
torsion bar. It will be seen that
oil flow is directed by a number
of longitudinal grooves alternately
located in the outer surface of the

input shaft and the inner surface


of the sleeve. These grooves slightly
overlap each other when the valve
is central. Drilled holes connect the
slots in the inside of sleeve to the
circumferential grooves referred to
above. When no power assist is called
for oil from the pump divides equally
between the right and left turn sets
of slots, and there is no resulting
pressure difference across the piston.
As soon as slight relative rotation
occurs however, oil is restricted in its
free return to the pump and simultaneously directed to the appropriate
side of the piston, while at the same
time oil on the inoperative side of
the piston is vented to the return line.
This action is slight at first so that
only a small amount of boost is provided, but becomes progressively
greater as the torsion bar flexes and
the driver requires more assist, so
that in parking, more than 90% of
the work is done by the oil. In order
to effect this graduated increase of
assist, and to give a realistic 'feel'
and good response, the grooves of the
shaft are precisely metered in a
specific form.

RACK ADJUSTING SCREW

RACK ADJUSTING PAD

SECTOR SHAFT

Note, that on extreme load con-"'<..:~=..-?-'


ditions or when for any reason the
boost system is inoperative, the torsion bar deflects suffiCiently to allow
the input shaft to drive the hourglass worm directly. This is accomplished by having a loose fitting
spline between the lower end of tht:
input shaft and the surrounding upper
end of the hourglass worm. Naturally
steering loads are high under these
conditions and a noticeable amount
of slack develops due to the flexing
of the torsion bar, but the steering
gear remains entirely operable. In the
interests of safety, the car should be
operated in this manner only for the
minimum distance needed to reach a
point where the system . can be serviced.
Figure 32 shows the power section
of the gear and it will be seen that
the sector shaft, again in section,
has three teeth formed in it engaging in the combined rack piston.
This rack piston has a spherical form
to the circumference of the piston
head and aligns itself in the housing
bore according to the mesh. of the
teeth. These teeth are specially designed to provide extra turning power
as needed towards the locks and also
are of varying tightness of mesh so
that the centre teeth engagement
may be always kept slack-free. Reaction of teeth engagement is taken
by a hardened pad adjustably positioned in the housing. Wear is miriimal at this point and the infrequent
adjustments should only be made
strictly in accordance with the procedure laid down on page 3-36. Senous damage can result from improper
adjustment.

POWER STEERING PUMP


The pump rotor has 8 slippers and
springs which rotate inside a cam insert containing two lobes 180 from
each other. The cam insert and the
pump port plates provide a sealed
chamber within which the rotor and
slippers rotate between the two lobes
for pump operation.
As the rotor turns, the slippers are
forced outward against the inner
surface of the cam insert by a combination of centrifugal force, slipper
spring force and fluid pressure acting
on the under side of the slipper. A
pair of adjacent slippers, along with
the surfaces of the rotor, cam and
pressure plates, form a sealed chamber within the crescent-shaped void.
As this sealed chamber moves
throup the crescent shaped void its
volume cbanaes, resultina in a pumpina action.
As the rotor rotates 90 (Fig. 36),
the slipper slides outward in its slot,
ridina on 'the cam and the volume of
the sealed chamber increases. This
creates a vacuum and sets up a suction area. With the inlet port placed
in this are-a, the chamber will fill with
ftuid. As the rotor rotates from 90
to 180, the volume of the sealed
chamber decreases, thus creating a
pressure area. The pressure or outlet
port is located in this area. While this
pumpina action is goina on between
0 and 180, the same condition is
occurring between 180 and 360.
This combination creates what is
known as a balanced rotor pump.
The two pressure and suction quad-

rants are diametrically opposite each
other.
FLOW CONTROL VALVE
Since the pump is a constant displacement pump, the internal flow
will vary directly with the pump
speed. However, a power steering
gear requires a relatively high constant rate of flow in the parking zol!e
and up to approximately 2800 RPM
and thereafter a lower rate of flow.
This is accomplished by means of a
variable orifice mechanism shown in
f-ig.

37.

All of the internal pump flow is


ported from the pumping mechanism
(rotor, slippers, and cam insert),

EJ

through passage A into the flo\1{ control zone. All of flow goes through
the orifice and out into the line until
the bypass port is cracked open: This
is the regulation point. The oil drops
in pressure in moving through the
orifice. The lower pressure is then
sensed through a hole drilled in the
cover communicating to the rear of
the spool valve. The difference in
pressure thus created on the spool
. valve increases steadily and proportionally with increasing RPM and
this moves the valve progressively
back into its bore, thus increasing the
openmg of the bypass port.
. The metering pin (Fig. 37) travels
with the spool valve decreasing the
net area of the orifice at higher
speeds. This action reduces flow to
the steering gear.

3-25
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
When the steering wheel is turned
completely to the stop position in the
right or left turn direction, or in the
case of a road load of sufficient magnitude, the steering gear will not accept any flow from the pump, except
for a very limited volume of oil due
to leakage past valve seals. Because
of this resistance, excessive hydraulic
pressure would be developed, if it
were not limited by the pressure relief valve.
When relief pressure is reached,
the pressure relief ball is forced off
its seat, allowing oil to pass through
the spool valve and dump into the
bypass port (Fig. 37). The relief valve
will continue to limit oil pressure to
the relief setting for the duration of
the overload condition.

IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
Damage to suspension and/ or
steering linkage components may occur if care is not exercised when positioning the hoist adapters of l post
hoists prior to lifting the car.
If a 2 post hoist is used to lift the
car, place the adapters under the
front suspension lower arms. Do not
aUow the adapten to contact the
steering linkage,
Pf.lMP BELT TENSION
AD)UsTMENT
Pump drive belt tension cannot
be checked accurately using the
thumb pressure or belt deflection
methods. Correct belt adjustment is
assured only with the use of a belt
tension gauge.
1. Check the belt tension with a
. belt tension gauge (
8620-.H).
With a new belt, or one that has been
run for less than 10 minutes, the tension should be within 120-150 lbs.
With a belt that has been run for
more than 10 minutes, the tension
should be within 90-120 lbs.
2. To adjust the belt, loosen the
mounting bolts incorporated on the
front face of the pump cover plate
(hub side) and one nut at the rear.
Place a Ofto inch open end wrench on
the projecting lh inch boss on the
front face of the pump cover plate
and pry upward to adjust belt tension.

When adjusting the power steering


pump belt tension, do not pry against
the pump or reservoir to obtain the
proper belt tension. The reservoir will
be deformed when pried on or
pressed against and a leak will result.
3. Recheck the belt tension. When
the tension has been correctly adjusted, torque the bolts and the nut
to specification.

GROUP 3- SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS & lYRES

THE POWER STEERING GEAR

DISASSEMBLY
The power steering gear is a precision machine. Therefore it is essential
that cleanliness be maintained at all
times during disassembly and assembly
of the gear, to prevent the ingress of
foreign matter which may subsequently affect the performance of
the gear. It is not good practice to
use rag for cleaning parts before
assembly into the gear. Preferably
parts should be washed in a petroleum based solvent, just prior to
assembly and allowed to drain dry.
A smear of power steering oil should
be applied to all rubber seals and
rubbing surfaces during assembly.
Use of Correct Tools - a list and
description of service tools is provided
in Group 21 and it is essential that
these tools be used when dismantling
or assembling the gear to ensure that
permanent damage is not done to the
components. The following service
work can only be carried out when
the gear has been removed from the
vehicle.
If a Pitman arm is still fitted to the
gear, it must first be removed with
the aid of a hydraulic press. See page
3-44. No attempt should be
made to prise the pitman arm off by
levering against the casting, otherwise
damage will result to the. sector shaft
seal bore causing subsequent leakage.
If the gear still contains oil, this must
first be removed by turning the box
upside down with the input shaft
sloping slightly downwards to position the inlet and outlet at the
lowest point of the gear and placing
a container under the inlet and 'Outlet
to catch the oil. Most of the oil can
be removed from the gear by turning
the input shaft from lock to lock
about 6 to 8 times. Some oil will still
remain inside the gear but this will be
drained when the top cover is removed as described later.
1. Secure the mbunting bracket
to the steering box and clamp in a
vice.
2. Loosen and remove the four
top cover bolts.
3. Slacken the rack adjusting
screw lock nut, and loosen the rack
adjusting screw one turn. (This is not
essential but greatly assists the removal and subsequent re-a-ssembly of
the sector shaft assembly by introducing clearance between rack and
sector teeth.)
4. Position the input shaft one
eighth of a turn off-centre towards
right lock.
.
5. Position the gear with the top

cover turned to the bottom and the


sector shaft sloping at an angle of
about 30 to the vertical then gently
tap the end of the sector shaft with a
copper mallet whilst holding one
hand under the top cover. As the top
cover seal slides out from the bore in
the steering gear housing, position a
container to catch the remaining oil
as it drains out. Once the oil has
drained the gear should then be positioned with both input and sector
shafts horizontal.
6. Pull the top cover off the end
of the sector shaft (which will also
release a small amount of oil from
between the end of the sector shaft
and the top cover).
7. The sector shaft assembly can
then be withdrawn manually through
the top opening of the housing. Take
particular . care in this operation not
to allow any part of the sector to
scratch the top cover bore of the
housing as this is a sealing surface for
the top cover seal.
8. If a flange is fitted to the input
shaft of the gear this must be removed
with a puller working against the end
of the torsion bar.
9. Using the Tool No. XA3745A unscrew the piston cover ensuring that the spanner is held ftrmly
against the cover at all times. This
cover may be very difficult to undo,
due to the rubber seal clinging to the
cover and housing. Two people may
be required to undo this cover; one
holding the spanner firmly against the
cover while the other applies a torque
to the handle. An extension tube may
even be needed over the handle of
the spanner.
10. Push the piston rack out of the
bore from the inside of the box. Be
careful not to damage the teflon seal
on the piston as it passes over the
threads at the end of the piston bore.
11. Lift the rack pad out of the
rack adjusting screw.
12. Set gear with input shaft and
sector Shaft bore horizontal.
13. Slacken the worm bearing adjustment screw lock nut, Tool No.
XA- 3707A, undo and remove the
bearing adjustment screw using Tool
.
No. XA- 3537A.
14. Lightly tap the end of the torsion bar to remove the worm, valve
and sleeve assembly, catching the seal,
bearing race and cage as they come
out of the adjusting screw bore. Withdraw the assembly being careful not
to damage the teflon seals on the
sleeve as the assembly is drawn out of
the housing.

15. Using Tool No. XA- 3526B,


knock out the sector shaft dust seal,
this will expose the circlip which is
removed with a pair of circlip pliers.
The seal, backing ring and sector shaft
seal can now be removed by hand.
16. Using the Tool No. XA3576A, press out the sector shaft
bearings. The bearings may be pushed
out in either direction.
17. The input shaft bearing is
pressed into the bearing spacer and
these are removed as an assembly
from the housing using Tool No.
XA- 3'5 26B. The service tool should
be tapped lightly alternately against
opposite sides of the bearing spacer.
(The bearing spacer is a zinc die casting, easily damaged if forced excessively.) The bearing and its spacer is
driven inwards into the housing by the
service tool, which is entered through
the input shaft seal. Care should be
taken not to damage the sealing lip
of the seal if it is proposed to reuse
the seal.
.
18. Once the bearing spacer and
bearing are removed, the bearing can
be pushed from the bearing spacer
using a suitable mandrel.
.
I 9. The input shaft seal can now
be removed using the same tool and
tapping the seal inwards into the
housing alternatively on opposite
sides.
20. Remove the worm bearing race
from the housing by lightly tapping
with tool entered through the input
shaft end of the bore. Shims may be
found in the bearing bore when the
race is removed, place these to one
side for use during assembly.
INSPECTION AND OVERHAUL OF
COMPONENT ASSEMBLIES

HOUSING
Wash housing in a petroleum based
solvent and inspect for cracks. Check
the seal areas and the piston rack bore
for damage or scores.
SECTOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY
A selective assembly technique is used
in the build up of the worm follower
and its bearings into the sector shaft,
therefore these items are not serviced
individually. Little load is concerned,
but, in the rare case of wear or
damage to the follower or its bearings,
a new sector shaft assembly complete
must be fitted.
Check all bearing, seal and thrust
surfaces for wear or damage. Check
the worm follower bearings for roughness or end play. Check the worm
follower and sector teeth for scoring.
Check the preload screw for binding.

PART 33- POWER STEERING


Caution: Do not over wind tfie preload screw when checking for bind
or the eccentric sleeve adjuster may
become disengaged from the screw.
Check the pitman arm splines and
thread, if reusing the sector shaft
remove any burrs on the splines with
a fine abrasive stone.
PISTON RACK
Inspect the piston, seal and rack
teeth for wear or damage. To replace
a faulty seal proceed as follows.
1. Remove the teflon seal by
squeezing between the thumb and
fmger to raise the seal into a hump at
one point. Use a small flat blunt screw
driver to slip under this hump and
prise seal from its groove. Do not use
a sharp instrument, as this may
damage the groove in the piston and
result in subsequent seal leakage. In
general the seal cannot be reused.
2. Replace with a new seal, by
feeding the seal in from one side and
running a thumb around the outside
of the piston, easing the seal carefully
into the groove. Push the rack and
seal assembly into Tool No. XA3544A, and leave for S-10 minutes.
(This is important otherwise seal will
not pass through the threaded end of
the piston bore when reassembling
the piston rack assembly to the gear.)
3. Check that the seal is free to
float radially in the piston groove
otherwise effective sealing will not be
achieved.

WORM, VALVE AND SLEEVE


ASSEMBLY
Inspect the valve, sleeve and teflon
. seals, worm track and worm bearings
for wear or damage. Check that no
free play exists between the sleeve
and the worm.
The major components of this
assembly; namely, worm, valve,
sleeve and torsion bar cannot be
serviced individually as these are inherently mated at the drilling and
fitting of the pin in the "trimming"
operation during manufacture (equalising the steering efforts in dght and
left turns).
A. Sleeve
1. Remove the sleeve complete
with its teflon seals, rubber seal and
drive pin from the assembly by holding the assembly vertically by the
sleeve with the worm uppermost.
Strike the torsion bar end of the assembly sharply downwards on to a
fum block of wood. The sleeve (still
held in the hand) will follow through
down the valve, disengaging from the
coupling sleeve and slot in the worm.
(During this operation a small quan-

Fig. 45
Worm, Valve and Sleeve

tity of oil will be released from


inside the coupling sleeve).
2. Inspect the noise dampening
seal on the coupling sleeve end of the
valve and replace if necessary. This is
a rubber seal and may be easily
replaced by stretching over the valve.
The teflon seals are best removed
by cutting diagonally with a sharp
knife, but care must be taken to avoid
scratching the sides of the grooves
otherwise subsequent leakage will
result.
When fitting new teflon seals Tool
No. XA-.3589A must be used, and
the centre seal must be fitted first.
The seals are more easily fitted if

warmed in hot water immediately


prior to pushing over the fitting tool
When the teflon seals have been
fitted, push the sleeve in to the
shrinking tool and leave for 5-10
minutes.
The rubber seal is easily removed
and replaced by stretching over the
end of the sleeve and can be reused
provided it shows no sign of deterioration.
Care must be taken in refitting the
seal (or a new seal) that it is not
twisted on its side or inside out,
otherwise early failure will result.
The drive pin is not replaceable.
Replace the sleeve assembly by slip-

GROUP 3- SUSPENSION, STEERING, WHEELS & TYRES

ping it over the valve, drive pin end


flrst, until it is about to enter the
coupling sleeve. Care should be taken
in this operation not to damage
either the bore of the sleeve or the
outside diameter of the valve, as a
very flne working clearance of .0002
- .0006 inch on diameter is held.
Before entering the sleeve into the
coupling sleeve flt the wedge Tool
No. XA- 3771A behind the coupling sleeve (Fig. 47) between coupling
sleeve and bearing cage, to ensure
that the coupling sleeve is held furnly
against its retaining ring. Check that
the fail safe and coupling spring is
concentric in the bore of the worm,
with the leg of the spring in the
drive slot and the spring rotated
clockwise (as viewed) to position the
leg against the side of the slot (Fig.
48) . . Line up the drive pin of the
sleeve with the gap between the leg
of the spring and the opposite side of
the slot and "feel" the sleeve into the
coupling sleeve until the pin engages
with the slot. To fully engage the
sleeve, the worm, valve and sleeve
assembly should be held vertically
with worm to the bottom and struck
sharply downwards onto a fum block
of wood, ensuring that the sleeve is
being held at the instant of impact
to drive it fully home against the end
of the worm.
It is important that the pin is fumly
held in the drive slot ofthe worm by
the spring 2 s this spring ensures that
no slack can develop between the
worm and sleeve, otherwise the steering gear will not function smoothly.
After assembly, freedom from slack
in this coupling should be confumed
by lightly gripping the worm in a
copper-jawed vice and feeling the
sleeve for rotational slack in either
direction.
B. Valve, Coupling Sleeve and Ball
Cage Assembly
Further dis-assembly of the worm
valve and sleeve assembly necessitates
un-pinning of the valve. Before unpinning the valve, fust remove the
sleeve as described above and mark
the relative position of valve and
torsion bar to prevent any possibility
of the valve being refltted 1800 out
of position.
1. Support the end of the valve
over an opening slightly larger than
the pin diameter (5/32") and using a
pin punch drive the pin completely
out of valve and torsion bar.
2. Pull the valve off over the torsion bar. The tapered Delrin splitbush, flat washer and conical spring
will now be loose on the torsion bar

and may be removed by hand. Remove any burr around the hole in the
torsion bar at this time to minimise
damage during assembly.
3. The fail safe and coupling
spring can be removed if required at
this stage. Pay particular attention to
the way in which the spring is fitted,
a~ if fitted in reverse, the sleeve will
be wrongly positioned when reassembled which will cause a malfunction of the gear.
4. To remove the coupling sleeve
turn the retaining ring until one end
appears in the slot in the end of the
worm. Hook this end of the ring and
disengage it from its groove in the
worm. Withdraw the coupling sleeve
from the end of the worm, which
then allows removal of the bearing
cage.

5. The coupling sleeve seal can


now be removed if required.
6. No further disassembly is possible as the torsion bar is pressed into
the worm and cannot be removed.
7. To replace the coupling sleeve
seal stretch the old seal out of the
groove in the end of the worm and
fit a new seal being careful to avoid
twisting the seal on its side or inside
out.
8. To reassemble the worm and
valve assembly replace the ball cage,
coupling sleeve and retaining ring in
that order. The seal on the end of the
worm should be smeared with a little
power steering fluid to assist the
fitment of the coupling sleeve and
after fitment, the gap in the retaining
ring should be turned to coincide
with the slot in the end of the worm.
9. Examine the seal on the end of
the torsion bar and replace it if it
shows any signs of deterioration or
cutting due to disassembly. Examine
the noise dampenin:S seal on the end
of the valve and replace if necessary.
Position the fail safe and coupling
spring on the valve exactly as it was
before removal. Position the conical
spring over the torsion bar with the
large end in the bore of the worm.
Place the split bush over the torsion
bar with the larger diameter toward
the worm. Pass the valve over the
torsion bar and locate the bush in
the end of the valve. Align the marks
made prior to removal on the valve
and torsion bar and push the valve
fully home into the lost-motion
splines of the worm. If the angular
position is correct, the master spline
on the end of the valve will line up
with the slot on the end of the worm.

The pin can now be refitted by


pressing in, between the jaws of a
vice.
Fitting a New Worm, Valve and
Sleeve Assembly.
If a new worm, valve and sleeve
assembly is to be fitted, it will be
necessary to adjust the axial position
of the assembly in the housing to
ensure that the centre point of the
worm coincides with the on centre
position of the gear. This position of
the worm valve and sleeve assembly
in the housing is adjustable by the
number of shims fitted behind the
bearing race in the housing assembly.
However, as the position of the worm
valve and sleeve assembly is varied,
so the distance the bearing spacer is
pushed into the housing must be
varied to maintain a clearance of .010
inch between the end of the sleeve
and bearing spacer. The procedure is
as follows:1. Remove the sleeve from the
new worm, valve and sleeve assembly
as described above.
2. Remove the bearing race from
the housing complete with any shims
which may be fitted and refit the
bearing race without any shims using
the appropriate service tools.
3. Enter the worm and valve assembly into the housing followed by
the cage assembly, race and bearing
adjusting screw. Tighten the bearing
adjusting screw sufficiently to remove
any slack (preload is not necessary at
this stage).
4. Refit the sector shaft assembly
and top cover (the seal from the top
cover may be removed to assist this
assembly).
5. Fit the pitman arm and nut to
the end of the sector shaft and
tighten the nut sufficiently to eliminate any slack in the splines.

3-33
6. Ensure that the gear can be
rotated from lock to lock, backing
off any preload on the worm follower
if necessary, then apply preload to
the worm follower until slack is just
eliminated at one point near the on
centre position {this may not necessarily be exactly on centre at this
stage).
7. Measure the actual slack at 6"
radius on the pitman arm with the
gear positioned alternatively one turn
(of the input shaft) to the left and
one turn to the right from the 'on
centre' position.
8. The clearance at the left turn
should be greater than that at the
right turn. Divide the difference between these actual readings by 5 to
obtain the correct thickness of shim
stack to be fitted.
9. Remove the sector shaft assembly and worm and valve assembly
and inner race from the housing. Fit
the number of shims {as determined
above) behind the inner bearing race
and reassemble the worm and valve
assembly and sector shaft assembly
and repeat the procedure above.
10. If the difference in slack is less
than .020 inch then the shim stack is
acceptable. If the left hand slack is
greater than the right slack by more
than this amount, divide the difference by 5 and add this amount of
additional shims. If the right hand
slack is greater than the left hand by
more than .020 inch divide the difference by 5 and remove this thickness of shims from the stack.
11. Confmn again that the difference in slacks are within .020 inch.

12. Remove the sector shaft assembly and worm and valve assembly.
13. Refit the sleeve to the worm
and valve assembly and position the
.010 service shim over the valve
against the end face of the sleeve.
14. Enter the worm, valve and
sleeve assembly complete with service
shim into the housing, fit the bearing
cage assembly and race and tighten
the bearing adjusting screw to force
the complete assembly against the
bearing spacer. This will ensure that
the bearing spacer is pushed further
into its bore if the stack up length of
the worm valve and sleeve assembly is
greater than its predecessor.
15. The worm valve and sleeve assembly should then be withdrawn and
the service shim removed from the
valve.
(Note: If the stack up of new worm
valve and sleeve assembly is less than
its predecessor, additional clearance
will exist between the sleeve and the
bearing spacer, this however will not
be detrimental.)
Inlet Port Seat and Outlet Tube
1. The inlet port seat and outlet
tube can both be removed if required
by pulling out of the housing.
2. New components are fitted
using the Tool No. XA- 374309A
for the inlet port seat and Tool No.
XA-3713A for the outlet tube.
Rack Pad Adjusting Screw and Seal
1. The rack pa,d adjusting screw
should only be removed when the
gear is stripped, to prevent any possibility of the rack pad being dislodged
within the assembled gear.
2. The seal however can be replaced on an assembled gear, by
removing the locknut and undoing the
screw one to two turns to allow the
seal to be removed from the groove
in the screw.
3. Fit the new seal and replace
the locknut, then reset preloads.
RE-ASSEMBLY
1. Replace the worm bearing race
in the housing together with the shims
removed (if any) or the predetermined
number of shims if a new worm,
valve and sleeve assembly i~ to be
fitted (see page 3-33). Use the sleeve
Tool No. XA- -3589-B to seat the
bearing in the housing.
2. Replace the sector shaft
bearings.
To fit a new outer (narrow) bearing first fit the spacing washer Tool
No. XA- 3576A to the assembly
mandrel Tool No. XA- 3576A
followed by the spacer sleeve checking
that the spigot on the spacing washer

is adjacent to the sleeve. Next fit the
bearing onto the mandrel and insert
assembly through the top aperture of
the housing. Start the bearing into
the bore and fit the guide Tool No.
XA- 3576-A2 for the mandrel to
the top aperture of the housing. Press
the bearing fully home under a rack
or hydraulic press. Withdraw the
mandrel from the bearing, remove
the guide from the top aperture and
remove the bearing spacer washer and
sleeve.
To fit a new inner (wide) bearing,
first fit the spacing washer to the
mandrel followed by the bearing.
Ensure that the spigot on the spacing
washer is adjacent to the bearing (this
will ensure that the bearing is slightly

below the thrust face inside the


housing when pushed home). Press
the bearing fully home. Withdraw the
mandrel from the bearing.. remove
the guide from the top aperture and
remove the spacer washer.
Reassembly of the sector shaft
seal, backing ring, circlip and dust seat
is carried out after refitment of the
sector shaft.
3. Fit a new input shaft seal to
the Tool No. XA- 3525A. Enter the
mandrel through the bearing adjusting
screw bore and knock the seal in,
checking first that the seal is fitted
with the pressure sealing lip towards
the inside of the housing and the
dust sealing lip to the outside.
The seal is best fitted with the in

PART 3-3- POWER STEERING


put shaft bore of the housing posi
tioned horizontally, then it can be
easily seen when the seal is fully in
against the retaining shoulder of the
bore. It shorlld be noted that this
shoulder is very small and an excessive
assembly load could push the seal
right through the bore making the seal
unusable. Under no circumstances can
a seal be fitted by pushing it straight
into its bore from the input shaft end.
4. To replace the input shaft
bearing, first press the bearing into
the bearing spacer ensuring that it is
pushed hard up to the shoulder in the
bearing spacer bore. It is preferable to
use a new bearing spacer when fitting
a new bearing as a reused spacer often
fails to provide any interference fit
between the bearing and/or the
housing. If a loose fit does result, a
new bearing spacer must be used.
S. Fit the bearing and spacer as
sembly into the housing using the
same service mandrel as used for the
seal, but only push the assembly to
within about one tenth of an inch
from the seal. This can be observed
by parUy withdrawing the mandrel
and looking in through the input
. shaft seal.
6. The final positioning of the
bearing spacer is carried out by plac
ing the .010 inch service shim at the
end of the sleeve on the worm valve
and sleeve assembly and entering the
worm valve and sleeve assembly into
the housing. Fit the ball cage, race
and bearing adjusting screw and
tighten the bearing adjusting screw to
push the assembly fully home.

7. Remove the worm, valve and


sleeve assembly and discard the ser
vice shims. The bearing spacer will
now be correctly positioned to pro
vide a working clearance for the
sleeve.
8. The function of the bearing
spacer is to prevent any possibility of
the sleeve becoming disengaged from
the worm and as such it constitutes an
important safety feature of the gear.
9. As an additional safety feature,
the bearing spacer has a flange on its
outside diameter to limit the maxi
mum distance it can be pushed into
the housing, in the event of a failure
of the high pressure seal in the
coupling sleeve. It is important that
the above procedure is adhered to
and no short cuts taken. If in doubt
as to the working clearance between
spacer and sleeve, this can be checked
by placing a small piece of plasticine
on the end of the sleeve, pushing the
worm valve and sleeve assembly fully
into place and immediately with
drawing it. The plasticine will be
flattened to the thickness of the
clearance existing.
10. Wrap one layer of plastic insulating tape around the valve splines to
prevent damage to the valve seal when
the worm, valve and sleeve assembly
is being fitted.
11. Position the steering gear housing with the input shaft and sector
shaft bores horizontal.
12. Enter the worm valve and
sleeve assembly in through the bearing
adjusting screw bore and feed the end
of the valve through the valve seal

being careful not to turn the seal


inside out. Push the assembly home
with the thumbs - do not hammer
under any circumstances.
13. Turn the steering gear so that
the input shaft is vertical and the bore
for the bearing adjusting screw upper
most.
14. Drop the bearing cage in posi
tion on the worm track. .
15. Enter the bearing race into the
bearing race bore and push carefully
home, keeping the race square as it is
pushed down the bore. Only light
tapping should be required; if efforts
become high remove the bearing race
again by tapping out the worm valve
and sleeve assembly and start again.
N.B. It is advisable to break the sharp
edge on the bearing with a fine stone
to avoid damage to the adjusting
screw bore during fitting.
16. With the bearing race fully
home, place the rubber seal on the
race and fit the bearing adjusting
screw. Tighten the adjusting screw
sufficiently to remove end float. (Pre
load is not necessary at this stage.)
17. Set the gear with the input
shaft and sector shaft bores horizontal.
18. Position the rack pad in the
rack adjusting screw.
19. Carefully enter the piston rack
assembly into the bore of the housing,
being careful not to allow the rack to
touch the bore and support the end
of the rack from inside the housing,
whilst easing the teflon seal past the
threads at the end of the bore. The
piston may be cocked slightly to
assist in passing the teflon seal past
thre~rl~ .
0. Position the rack in its mid
p<;snlon ready for assembly of the
sector shaft.
21. Refit the piston cover ensuring
that the rubber seal is not damaged.
If the seal is damaged it must be
replaced with a new seal. Using the
Tool No. XA-374SA tighten the
piston cover to 2040 ft. lbs torque,
ensuring that the spanner is pushed
firmly against the cover at all times.
(Refitting of this cover may be left
until fitting of the sector shaft is
completed if required.)

22. Position the steering gear assembly so that the input shaft and
sector shaft bores are horizontal.
23. Check that the rack pad is cor
rectly positioned in the rack adjusting
screw, and position the piston rack in
its mean position; i.e. with the centre
tooth gap immediately opposite the
sector shaft bearing bush. (i.e., in line
with the rack pad.)

SETTING PRELOADS ON THE
STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY

Fig. 53. Centre Tooth Gap


of Rack in Line with Sector Shaft Bush
24. If the original sector shaft seal
is still in position it is in order to
assemble the sector shaft directly
through the seal, provided the splines
are smoothed to remove sharp edges
or covered with plastic tape. If however, a new sector shaft seal is to be
fitted, it is advisable to fit the new
seal after the sector shaft has been
fitted, using plastic tape to mask the
sector spline and push the seal home.
25. Enter the sector shaft assembly
carefully through the top cover aperture into the sector shaft bearing.
Keep the rack parallel to the bottom
of the box and roll it slightly to open
the mesh at entry. It is essential to
see that the centre tooth of the sector
shaft is aligned with the tooth gap in
the rack as the sector shaft is pushed
in. Use a torch if necessary. At the
same time as the rack and sector
teeth are engaging, the input shaft
will need to be turned to align the
groove in the worm with the follower
on the sector shaft assembly. The
sector shaft assembly must never be
hammered in during this operation.
If difficulty is encountered, slacken
the rack adjusting screw as described
under "Preload Adjustments'?
26. Position the gear slightly off
centre to ensure the sector shaft is
not displaced by any preload between
the follower and worm. Then fit the
top cover over the sector shaft journal
and enter it into the steering gear
housing. A new seal should be fitted
if the old seal shows any sign of
fretting or if it has lost its sharp
corners. Care should be taken as the
seal is entering the aperture to ensure
it is not pinched. Once entered, the
top cover may be lightly tapped

home. A smear of power steering oil


on the seal will greatly assist the fitment of the top cover.
27. Fit the four screws securing
the top cover but do not tighten.
28. Remove the recessed head plug
from the top cover and position the
gear on centre. Force the top cover
back against the housing aperture by
applying a temporary follower preload of 8-12 inch ounces (to avoid
subsequent loss of preload in service
due to shifting of the cover) and with
the gear still op. centre, tighten the
four top cover bolts to 30 ft. lbs
torque. The recessed head plug will
be replaced after preload adjustment.
(Refer instructions for setting preloads.)
29. With the sector shaft splines
covered with one layer of plastic
tape fit the sector shaft seal, with the
lips towards the housing,
Fit the backing ring with its rounded
side towards the seal and its flat side
towards the circlip. (This is important
to ensure that the circlip is loaded
close to the groove in the housing
otherwise it will fatigue in service.
The rounding of one side of the
backing ring is a legacy of the blanking operation during its . manufacture). Finally, fit the circlip then the
dust seal using the special service
tool.
30. Install the flexible coupling to
the input shaft, making sure to line
up tpe master spline, the lock plate
and nut. Torque to specification.
31 . Set all preloads as described
on following pages.

General
During production of the steering
gear assembly preloads are set slightly
higher than in service to allow for
initial 'bed-in' of mating components.
These higher preload figures are given
below in brackets and should only be
used where new components are
being fitted to the steering gear.
Before setting preloads, the gear
should be substantially drained qf
power steering fluid, otherwise the
readings obtained will be too high
because of the pumping action of the
piston moving oil from one end of
the cylinder to the other. Most consistent results are obtained if the box
is warm.
In order to establish the correct
preloads the sequence of preload
settings following should be strictly
adhered to as each reading obtained
is a cumulative reading of the preloads
set before. The gear must be removed
from the vehicle to set preloads and
should preferably be mounted in the
special service ftxture in a vice with
the input and sector shafts horizontal.
First, undo and remove the plug from
the top cover. Position the gear
roughly 'on centre'. (The gear is 'on
centre' when it is positioned midway
between full left and right lock; in
this position the blocked splines on
the sector shaft lie parallel and at
right angles to the plane of the
mounting feet and the flat on the
input shaft is in line with the inlet
and outlet ports.) The socket head of
the adjusting screw for the worm
follower will now be visible through
the top cover plug hole. Turn this
screw 2 to 3 turns anti-clockwise to
remove any preload from the worm
follower, at the same time keeping
pressure on the Allen key to hold the
adjusting screw head against the end
of the sector. Loosen the lock nut on
the bearing adjusting screw and undo
the bearing adjusting screw
to 1
turn to remove any preload from the
worm bearings. Loosen the rack adjusting screw locknut and undo the rack
adjusting, screw to 1 turn. This will
remove any preload between the rack
and the sector teeth. The gear is now
ready for setting the preloads, which
are measured at the input shaft using
a torque meter (having a range 0 to
20 inch pounds in both clockwise and
anti-clockwise direction).
1. Input Seal Friction
Turn the input shaft of the steering
gear to either left or right lock. If the
input shaft is oscillated 4 or 5 in

3-37

PART 3-3- POWER STEERING

Fig. 54
Preload Adjusting Points

either direction at the locks, a short


interval of slack will be observed
where the worm follower and rack
and sector teeth are exhibiting backlash. Note the maximum torque reading in this slack interval. This should
be approximately ~ to 1 inch pound.
2. Worm Bearing Preload
Whilst oscillating the input shaft in
this same slack interval, the bearing
adjusting screw should be tightened
until an increase in torque is noticed.
The adjusting screw should be locked
to achieve an increase over the input
seal friction of 1 to 2 inch pounds
(for new parts 2 to 3 inch pounds).
Additionally, note the actual torque
reading.

3. Gar Drag

input shaft over a greater angle (be~ to


turn off centre. Oscillate the
input shaft over a greater angle between the limits ~ to
turn off
centre) and observe the maximum
torque reading. It will be noticed
that this reading is slightly higher
than the previous reading by about
~inch pound (for a new gear 1 to 1~
inch pounds). This additional torque
is due to frictional drag between
worm and follower, rack and sector
teeth, the piston seal in the housing
bore and the sector shaft seal. Be
careful not to measure this torque
any closer to centre than a ~ turn,
otherwise the results will be influen-

Fig. 55
Checking Preloads - Typical

ced ~y the changing ratio of the


worm. It may also be observed that a
slightly higher reading is produced
when turning the gear left. This is
due to the 10 inclination of the
piston when the gear is set horizontal.
The piston is pushed up the inclination on a left turn and down the
inclination on a right turn.
4. Worm Follower Preload
Bring the gear to the on centre
position which will bring the worm
follower adjusting screw accessible
through the hole in the top cover.
Turn the adjusting screw a % turn at
a time until an increase in torque
reading is noted when oscillating the
input shaft 5 either side of centre.
Ensure that the Allen key is withdrawn from the adjusting screw
during oscillation of the input shaft,
otherwise damage may result to the
threads for the top cover !lug. The
preload should be adjuste until an
increase of 3 to 4 inch pounds is
achieved over the last actual reading.
(For new components 6 to 7 inch
pounds.) Note the actual reading.
Replace the plug in the top cover and
tighten to 7-9 foot pound torque.

5. Rack and Sector Tooth Preload


With the gear on centre oscillate
the input shaft 5 degrees either side of
centre and sj.owly turn the rack
adjusting screw clockwise until an

increase in preload is observed. When


an increase of 3 to 4 inch pounds
(for new components 6 to 1 inch
pounds) is observed, hold the rack
adjusting screw with an Allen key
and tighten the rack adjusting screw
locknut. This adjustment is very sensitive and some trial and error will be
required to achieve the correct preload after the locknut is tightened.
The locknut should be tightened to
30 foot pounds torque.

6. Final Check
As a fmal check, turn the box from
lock to lock to ensure that there are
no 'hang-ups'. Sensible preload should
occur over a broad angle of approximately % turn either side of centre,
with the highest preload occurring
through centre.
Refitment of Gear to Vehicle
The gear must always be refitted
to the vehicle so that the gear is 'on
centre' when the vehicle is tracking
straight ahead. This is important as it
ensures that the peak in the ratio
curve of the gear occurs when driving
straight ahead and the ratio change is
then symmetrical in right and left
turns.
Hence first 'centre' the steering
wheel then make all tracking corrections by adjustment of the steering
side rods only.

DESCRIPTION

The steering column which in


eludes a combination steering/gear
shift/ignition lock is of the collapsible
type to lessen the possibility of
injury to the driver of the vehicle,
should be become involved in an
accident.
nie lower end of the steering
column tube at the bellows area may
collapse up to approximately eight (8)
inches upon a hard impact.
The shift tube and steering shaft
are provided with spring clips
which will shear and allow them to
collapse upon impact.
The steering column upper mounting brackets are provided with
breakaway retainers which allow the
column to break free under impact.
Once the steering column has been
collapsed, a complete new column
must be installed with new brackets.
The steering/gear shift/ignition
lock is situated to the right of the
steering column. The main body of
the lock is bolted to the steering
column outer tube and is covered by
a shroud which contains the various
key positions marked on the mask
surrounding the barrel.
To engage the steering/gear shift
lock on column shift vehicles the gear

(Automatic) or Reverse (Manual).
In the locked position the locking
plunger protrudes through a slot in
the gear shift tube and into a groove

in the steering shaft locking sleeve.

IDENTIFICATION DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

IDENTIFICATION
INTEGRAL CARRIER
CONVENTIONAL &
LIMITED SLIP AXLES

A metal tag with the axle assembly


part number, axle serial number and
axle ratio is fixed to the right hand
upper cover plate bolt.
In addition to this tag the integral
carrier limited slip axle has a tag
attached under the oil filler plug.
This tag states "SPIN RESIST ANT DIFF. USE APPROVED
LUBRICANT ONLY".
REMOVABLE CARRIER
TRACTION LOK AXLE

The removable carrier "Traction


Lok" rear axle has a tag attached
under one of the upper carriers to
housing bolts. This tag identifies
the 2. 75 : 1 ratio as 2L 75-9 and
the 3.00 : 1 ratio as 3L00-9 in the
lower left corner.
DESCRIPTION
INTEGRAL CARRIER
CONVENTIONAL AXLE

The rear axle is of the hypoid,


semi-floating type using shim adjustment of bearing preloads. The
differential case with ring-gear and
the drive pinion, are mounted in
opposed taper roller bearings in the
one piece rear-axle carrier. Both two
and four pinion differential assemblies are used.
The splines on the axle shafts
engage splines in the differential side
gears and the axle shafts are held in
the carrier by ball bearings and
retainers at the axle housing outer
ends. Axle shaft end play is pre-set
and is not adjustable. Gear ratios
are given on the identification tag.
All operations other than removal
of the axle shafts and the pinion oil
seal, should be carried out with the
unit removed from the vehicle.

tapered rollers which roll freely
between the cup and cone, and the
cage which serves as a retainer to
maintain the proper spacing between the tapered rollers grouped
around the cone.
When the bearing is manufactured, the cup and rib ring are
bonded together with an adhesive
to facilitate bearing handling and
installation. Since the cup and rib
ring are clamped together in the
axle housing, there is no need for a
permanent bond. When the bearing is serviced the cup will usually
be separated from the rib ring.
TAPERED ROLLER UNIT
TYPE BEARING

All unit bearings are manufactured with a built-in adjustment of


.007" to .018" "bench" end play
or axial clearance. This "bench"
end play is reduced when the bearing is pressed on the axle shaft. The
final assembled end play on the
shaft of .001" to .015" is dependent
on the dimensions of the interference fit between the cone and the
axle shaft. The standard recommended cone fit is .001" to .0022*
tight. The cups are a loose fit in the
housing. Used bearings may have
a maximum of .025" end play.
The bearing is held on the shaft
by the interference fit of the bearing
cone and the retaining collar. The
cup and rib ring are clamped
together in the axle housing through
the seal by the clamping plate. The
axle seal wipes on the rotating axle
shaft and at the time functions as a
static seal to prevent lube from
escaping between the housing and
seal outside diameter.
It is important to note that the
seal also acts as a "spacer" in the
clamp up of the bearing in the axle
housing. It is imperative that the
specified seal is used.
The UNIT TYPE BEARING
requires no periodical maintenance
when in service.

The differential assembly is mounted on two opposed tapered roller

Ball bearing assemblies (rear wheel

The rear axle is of the banjohousing hypoid gear type using a


9 inch ring gear, in which the centreline of the pinion is mounted below
the centreline of the ring gear.
The pinion gear and the pinion
bearings are assembled in a pinion
retainer which is bolted to the
carrier. The pinion is straddle
mounted; that is, it is supported by
bearings both in front of and to the
rear of the pinion gear. Two opposed
tapered roller bearings support the

one composite plate (steel on one


side and friction material on the
other) stacked on a clutch hub, and
four ear guides are housed in the
differential cover. Located in the
differential case between the side
gears is a one-piece pre-load plate
and block and four calibrated preload springs, which apply an initial
force to the clutch pack. Additional
clutch capacity is derived from the
side gear thrust loads. The four
friction plates are splined to the
clutch hub which in turn is splined
to the left axle shaft, and the eared
steel plates are dogged to the case;
thus, the clutch is always engaged.

differential case turns, it rotates the

is necessary for one wheel and axle

spin will occur if over acceleration is


attempted. However, with the limited slip differential, when the tendency for wheel spin occurs, the
friction generated between the cones
and the differential case transfers the
major driving force to the nonspinning wheel. In the event of continued spinning a whirring sound is
produced due to over-running of the
cones; such a condition or sound
does not indicate failure of the unit.

The clutch capacity, due to the


preload springs and side gear thrust
loads, resists differential action.
Under normal cornering, the clutch
slips as the torque generated by
differential action easily overcomes
the clutch torque capacity allowing
normal differential action to take
place. Under adverse weather conditions where one or both wheels may
be on a low traction surface such as
snow, ice or mud, the friction
between the clutch plates will transfer
a portion of the usable torque tQ the
wheel with the most traction.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DIAGNOSIS GUIDE
Certain rear axle and drive line
trouble symptoms are also common
to the engine, transmission, tyces
and other parts of the car. For this
reason, be sure that the cause of
the trouble is in the rear axle before adjusting, repairing, or replacing any of the axle parts.
REAR AXLE NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noise characteristics in a rear
axle are more difficult to diagnose
and repair than mechanical failures. Slight axle noise heard only
at a certain speed or under remote

conditions must be considered normal. Axle noise tends to peak or be


more pronounced at varying speeds
and the noise is in no way a sign
of trouble in the axle.
Where noise is present in an objectionable form, loud and/ or at all
speeds, the first effort should be
made to isolate the noise. Rear axle
noise is quite often confused with
other noises such as tyre noise,
transmission noise, driveshaft vibration and universal joint noise.
Isolation of the noise in any one
unit requires skill and experience.
An attempt to eliminate a slight
noise may baffle even the best diag-

nostic experts. Axle noises faiJ into


two basic categories: gear noise
and/ or bearing noise.

GEAR NOISE
Abnormal gear noise can be recognised since it produces a cycling
pitch and will be very pronounced
in the speed range at which it occurs, usuaiJy under drive, float,
cruise or coast conditions. Gear
noise tends to peak in a narrow
speed range or ranges, while bear
ing noise will tend to remain constant in pitch.

REAR AXLE TROUBLE SYMPTOMS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES


Since gears are in mesh, some
rear axle noise is normal. However,
excessive noise often indicates the
beginning of other troubles in the
axle.

EXCESSIVE REAR AXLE NOISE

A road test can help determine


whether the noise is being caused
by trouble in the rear axle or m
other parts of the car. Before road
testing the car, make sure that the
tyre pressures and the rear axle
lubricant level are normal. Then
drive the car far enough to warm
the axle lubricant to its normal operating temperature.
With the car stopped and the
transmission in neutral, run the engine at various speeds. If the noise
still exists during this test, it probably comes from the engine or the
exhaust system.
To determine if the noise is being
caused by the rear axle or the

tyres, drive the car over several


different types of road surfaces.
Smooth asphalt or black-top roads
minimize tyre noises. Tyre noises
may be eliminated by cross-switching the tyres. Snow tyres often
cause noises not heard with conventional tyres.
Noise caused by a worn or damaged wheel bearing is often loudest
when the car is coasting at low
speeds, and it usuaiJy stops when
the brakes are gently applied. To
find the noisy bearing, jack up each
wheel and check each bearing for
roughness while the wheel is rotating.
If all possible external sources of
noise have been checked and eliminated, and the noise still exists,
road test the rear axle under aiJ
four
driving
conditions~rive,
cruise, float, and coast. Any noise
produced by the sidegears and pin-

Defective bearings will produce


a whine that is constant in pitch
and varies with vehicle speed. This
fact will help distinguish between
bearing and/ or gear noise.
1. Pinion bearing noise can be
identified as a constant grinding
noise. Pinion bearings are rotating
at a higher speed than differential
side bearings or axle shaft bearings. The noise is most noticeable
at a slight pull between 18 to 26
miles per hour.
2. Wheel bearing noise may be
confused with rear axle noise. To
differentiate between wheel bearings and rear axle, drive the car
on a smooth road at medium low
speed. With traffic permitting, turn
the car sharply right and left. If
noise is caused by wheel bearings,
the no~se will increase on the defective bearing because of side
loading.

An erratic tooth pattern on a

following conditions:
1. Foreign matter between differential hemisphere gear locating
base and back face of crown wheel.
2. Faulty gear set
NON HUNTING GEAR SET
In a non hunting type gear set,
any <>ne pinion gear tooth comes
into contact with only a few ring
gear teeth . In this type, only one
revolution of the ring gear is required to make all possible tooth
contact combinations.

ACCEPTABLE PATTERNS
The drive patterns shown in
Figs. 7 and 8 were rolled on two
different non-hunting type gear
sets. The pattern in Fig. 7 runs
from the centre toward the toe and
then back to centre. The pattern
in Fig. 8 runs from the tooth centre
toward the heel and then back to
centre. These patterns are not unusual for non-hunting gear sets and
are acceptable. The pattern on any
one ring gear tooth was formed by
only one pinion tooth coming into
contact with it. Because of this limited tooth contact, the non-hunting
pattern can be more erratic than
the hunting pattern and still be acceptable. Likewise, the coast pattern on a non-hunting gear set is
usually less uniform tooth to tooth
than it would be on a hunting gear
set (Fig. 9 ).
Fig. 10 shows a pattern rolled on
another gear set. In this cast:, the
pattern is fairly uniform from
tooth to tooth.

UNACCEPTABLE PATTERN
A non-hunting gear set should be
checked for runout and possible replacement if the pattern runs from
the tooth centre towards the toe and
back to centre on some gear teeth
(Fig. 7) while on other teeth of the
same gear, the pattern runs from the
tooth centre toward the heel and
back to centre (Fig. 8).
A hunting gear set showing an
erratic tooth pattern could have one
of the following conditions:
1. Foreign matter between differential hemisphere gear locating
base and back face of crown wheel.
2. Faulty gear set.
A non-hunting gear set requires a
change in shimming or backlash when
its pattern tends to concentrate
toward the heel or toe, top or bottom
of most teeth (Fig. 11).

GROUP

4-REAR AXLE

PARTIAL NON-HUNTING
GEAR SET

In a partial non-hunting type gear


set, any one pinion tooth comes into
contact with only part of the ring
gear teeth, but more than one
revolution of the ring gear is required
to make all possible gear tooth combinations.
Tooth to tooth pattern uniformity
will usually be in between the hunting and the non-hunting patterns.
Partial non-hunting gear set patterns
will usually be less uniform than
hunting gear set patterns, but more
uniform than non-hunting gear set
patterns.
SHIM AND BACKLASH
CHANGES

The patterns shown in Fig. 11 are


typical of gear sets that have either
an incorrect backlash or an incorrect
shim adjustment. Since each gear set
rolls a characteristic pattern, the
patterns in Fig. 11 should be considered as typical only and should be
used as a guide rather than a rigid
standard. The drive pattern is rolled
on the convex side of the tooth, and
the coast. pattern is rolled on the
concave s1de.
DRIVELINE VIBRATION

Vehicle vibration and roughness is


often the result of driveline variations. Driveline disturbance vibrations are usually high frequency
vibrations and are somewhat worse
on acceleration, or rapid deceleration.
The vibration produces a buzzing
feeling, a droning condition or, as
some customers describe, a "pressure
noise on the eardrums". It is likely
that the vibration sensation is more
noticeable in the rear seat and over
the driveline, than in any other area
of the car.
Driveline vibrations frequently
originate from excessive runout of
the driveline components, namely
pinion companion flange, the pinion
itself, driveshaft, slip yoke and
transmission output shaft. Runout
in these components will produce
vibrations due to the fact that the
components will be rotating on a
centre other than the centre of
balance.
Unbalance of one or more of the
driveline components will produce
vibration.
Driveline angles and the amount
of deflection across the universal
joints will also produce similar
vibrations.
LIMITED SLIP AND
TRACTION LOK AXLES

When encountering complaints of

limited slip or Traction Lok cone or


clutch plate chatter, the vehicle
should be driven in fairly tight
circles, 5 times clockwise and 5 times
anti-clockwise at approximately 5
m.p.h. to allow lubricant to work in
between the cone friction surfaces or
clutch plates.
If the chatter persists drain the
lubricant, refill the axle with the
specified lubricant and repeat the
foregoing procedure.
Should chatter still be evident dismantling of the differential for
further inspection and repair will be
necessary.
A whirring sound due to overrunning of the cones in the integral
carrier limited slip differential is no
indication of unit failure.
To test the Limited Slip or
Traction Lok differentials for correct
operation proceed as follows:
1. Raise one rear wheel and remove the wheel cover, attach Tool
T65K-4204-A at the wheel nuts
(Fig. 13).
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Chock the front wheels.
4. Attach a torque meter of at
least 200 ft. lbs. capacity to the
torque check tool as in Fig. 13 and
rotate the axle.
NOTE: The torque required to
rotate the shaft should be at least
40 ft. lbs. for Traction Lok and
50 ft. lbs. for limited slip.
The initial breakaway torque may
be higher than the continuous turning torque. This is normal.
The axle should turn with reasonable evenness. However, the torque
may vary up to 40 ft . lbs. on Traction
Lok differentials.
If the torque required to continuously rotate the wheel is outside
specification check the differential

flange face on a support.
Install the clamping plate on
the axle shaft, ensure that it is
positioned with the clamping
face of the plate toward the

Apply grease to the cavity
between the seal lips and carefully slide seal into position
on the seal seat. When installed
the outer face of the seal must
be toward the axle flange. Do
not push the seal onto the
rough surfaced portion of the
seal seat.

6. The new UNIT TYPE BEARING must be lubricated prior


to installation.
Do not wash a new bearing
prior to installation. The new
UNIT TYPE BEARING has a
protective grease which provides initial lubrication until
the re.a r axle lubricating oil
reaches the bearing.
If the new bearing has to be
washed for any reason, it must
then be completely lubricated
with rear axle oil prior to
installation.
7. Place the lubricated UNIT

PART
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
DRIVE PINION SHIM
SELECTION
The operating positions of the gears
require the use of an adjusting shim
between the pinion rear bearing cone and
the pinion gear (Page 4-7, Fig. 12).
When the shim thickness is decreased,
the pinion gear is moved away from the
drive gear. When the shim thickness is
increased, the pinion is moved closer to
the drive gear.
Manufacturing objectives are to
make axles with a gear mounting
<iistance of 3.720 inches. However,
particular gear sets have optimum
mounting distances differing from
this figure. The variation from this
standard distance is marked on
each drive pinion.
The drive pinion and ring gear
markings are shown in Fig. 36. The
number 5K-25 is the matching number that appears on both the drive
pinion and the ring gear. When a
new gear set is being installed in
an axle, be sure that the same matching number appears on both the
drive pinion and the ring gear.
A positive ( +) number on the
drive pinion always means that a
thinner shim should be installed to
move the pinion gear away from
the drive gear. A negative (-)
number means that a thicker shim
should be used to move the drive
pinion closer to the ring gear.
To select the correct shim thickness for the drive pinion to be used,
follow these steps:
1. Fit the pinion bearings to
the dummy pinion, and position
this with spacer in the carrier.
Tighten the nut to 15-25 lb. in
torque, rotating the dummy pinion
back and forth to ensure correct
seating of the bearing rollers.
2. Position the depth gauge cylinder in the carrier and fit the
bearing caps, tightening lightly.
3. Determine the size of pinion
position washer that will pass between the depth gauge and the
dummy pinion head, Fig. 37 . Examine the drive pinion installation
marking (Fig. 36). The size of the
pinion position washer should then
be altered as follows:
A positive (e.g. + .002") marking means that this pinion has to
be set at this number of thousandths of an inch further from the

4-2-REAR AXLE OVERHAUL

drive gear, i.e. a washer this


amount thinner must be used.
A negative (e.g. - .002") marking means that a washer this size
thicker must be used. A zero marking indicates that the washer selected with the gauge is the correct
one for this carrier I piniOn combination.
Position washers are
available: .002" increments from

1. Select any two spacer washers and place one against each of
the ditferential bearing cups. Place
the cups on the bearing cones and
install the differential assembly in

equipped with copper jaws.
2. Remove the differential cover
to cap attaching bolts and lift off the
cover.
3. Remove the cone, side gear,
thrust block, thrust springs, pinion
shaft and gears.
4. Remove the remaining thrust
block, side gear and cone.
5. Withdraw the pinion shaft
dowel from the case.
6. Remove the cones from the
cap and differential cover, if they
have remained with their respective
mating parts.
NOTE: To ensure that the cones
are not interchanged during reassembly, mark the cone and the
corresponding side of the differential
case with a daub of paint. Also check
for any shims which may be fitted
between the cones and side gears.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
AND DISASSEMBLY

Thoroughly clean and dry all parts


and inspect for the following:
1. The cone seats in the cap and
cover should be smooth and free of
any excessive scoring. Slight grooves
or scratches are permissible and
normal.
2. The land surfaces of the cones
will duplicate the case surface condition. Excessive wear or damaged
cone surfaces will necessitate renewal
of the cone and casing.
3. Inspect thrust springs for
damage and comparitive free-length.
Replace where necessary.
4. Check the thrust blocks for
excessive wear.

GROUP 4-REAR AXLE


1. Clamp tool T65K-4204-A or
an axle shaft in a vice with approximately 3 inches extending above the
vice jaws.
2. Place the cap side of the differential case over the extended tool
or axle shaft spline with the interior
facing upward.
3. Install the cone (as identified
in item 6 of disassembly procedure),
over the splines, seating it in position
in the cap; followed by a shim (if
originally fitted) and the side gear.
4. Place a thrust block on the side
gear with the cut outs in line with
the pinion shaft groove in the case.
5. Install the pinion shaft, pinions and thrust washers. Position the
shaft so that the dowel hole is in line
with the hole in the cap, and install
the dowel.
6. Install the thrust springs and
place the second thrust block over
the springs.
7. Place the remaining side gear
on the thrust block.
8. Install a shim (if originally
fitted) on the side gear and place the
cone on top.
9. Install the differential cover
over the cone, making sure the
matched stampings on both halves
of the case are in line.
10. Install two attaching bolts in
opposite holes and tighten finger
tight.
11. Install the remaining part of
tool T65K-4204-A with adaptor
spline, or an axle shaft through the
differential cover, rotating the tool to
enter the cone splines and then the
side gear splines. Leaving the tool in
this position install the remaining
bolts and tighten evenly to 21-26
lbs. ft.
12. Remove the tools or axle shaft
from the assembly.

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: When assembling the unit


use tool T65K-4204-A with spline
adaptors or axle shaftsas a mounting
to ensure correct alignment of the
side gear and cone splines. Attempting to force the axle shafts through
misaligned splines will result in
damage to the spring thrust blocks.

FIG. 44 -Limited Slip or


Traction Lok Differential
-Torque Check on
Diff. Assembly Removed

NOTE: If the tool or axle shaft


binds in the spline a light tap with a
hammer may be necessary.
Mter the unit has been assembled
into the housing, do not attempt to
rotate one axle shaft until the other
shaft is in position. Rotation of one
axle shaft without the other shaft
installed will result in misalignment
of cone and side gear splines and prevent entry of the second axle shaft.
"On car" type wheel balances are
not recommended for use on the rear
wheels of cars fitted with Limited Slip
or Traction Lok differentials. One
rear wheel will drive if in contact
with the ground when the opposite
wheel is raised.
The torque required to turn the
side gears and cones prior to assembling the differential to the axle
housing is 50 lb. ft. minimum. This
figure can be checked using tool
T65K-4204-A as illustrated in Fig.
44. If under this test the torque is
below the specified 50 lbs. ft. it may
be adjusted by altering the shims
between the side gears and cones.
Two shims of 0.005 and 0.010
inches thick are available for this
purpose.

assembly. The ring gear must be
removed in order to separate the case
halves.
6. Remove the ring gear by tapping the gear with a soft hammer or
press the gear from the case.
7. Place the differential case in a
press to load the case at the bearing
journals so that the pre-load of the
springs is overcome (approx. 1,500
lbs.). (If a press is not available,
two 7/16" bolts and nuts can be
used in the ring gear mounting
holes (one on each side) to compress the case halves together
and overcome pre-load spring
tension.) Then, while the case is
still under pressure, loosen the two
Allen or Phillips head screws which
hold the case halves together until
one or two threads of the screws
remain engaged. Remove the case
assembly from the press. Tap on the
cover to spring it loose; then, remove
both screws.
8. With the cover facing down,
lift off the case. Remove the pre-load
spring plate and four pre-load springs.

centred, and torque the nut 10 to
15 lb. ft. (Fig. 52).
14. Place the shim template tool
(T68P-4946-A) in the clutch hub
(Fig. 52). Some clearance should be
observed between the shim tool and
the cover-to-case mating surface.

DIFFERENTIAL COVE

Using a feeler gauge, determine


the exact amount of clearance.

Refer to the shim pack thickness


chart which will indicate the correct
amount of shim(s) to subtract from
the 0. 050 shim originally installed.
In order to correctly select the
proper shim(s), the shim template tool and the chart must be
used.

DIFFERENTIAL CASE,
BEARINGS AND RING GEAR

If the ring gear runout check (before disassembly) exceeded specifications, the condition may be caused
by a warped gear, a defective case,
or excessively worn differential bearings.
To determine the cause of excessive runout proceed as follows:
1. Assemble the two halves of the
differential case together without the
ring gear, and press the two differ-

4. Tighten the right nut two
notches beyond the position where
it first contacts the bearing cup.
Rotate the differential case several
revolutions in each direction while
the bearings are loaded to seat the
bearings in their cups. This step is
important.
5. Again loosen the right nut to
release the preload. Check to see that
the left nut contacts the bearing cup.
Using a dial indicator, adjust the
preload to 0. 012 case spread for new
bearings or 0. 005 to 0 . 008 for the
original bearings, if re-used.
6. Check the runout of the differential case flange with a dial indicator.
If the runout does not now exceed
specifications, install a new drive
gear. If the runout still exceeds

FIG. 67- Pinion and Ring


Gear Markings
specifications, the ring gear is true
and the trouble is due to either a
defective case or worn bearings.
7. Remove the differential case
from the carrier and remove the side
bearings from the case.
8. Install new bearings on the
case hubs, and again install the differential assembly in the carrier without the ring gear.
9l Check the case runout again
with the new bearings. If the runout
is now within limits, the old bearings were excessively worn. Use the
new bearings for assembly. If the
runout is still excessive, the case is
defective and should be replaced.
DRIVE PINION AND
RING GEAR SET
When replacing a ring gear and
pinion, note that the original factory

4-27

installed shim is of the correct thickness to adjust for individual variati(ms in both the carrier housing
dimension and in the original gear
set dimension. Therefore, to select
the correct shim thickness for the
new gear set to be installed, follow
these steps:
1. With a micrometer, measure
the thickness of the original shim removed from the axle and use the
same thickness upon installation of
the replacement carrier assembly or
drive pinion. If further shim change
is necessary, it will be indicated in
the tooth pattern check.
2. If the original shim is lost,
substitute a nominal shim for the
original and use the tooth pattern
check to determine if further shim
changes are required. Nominal shim
thickness is indicated in the Specifications Section.
A new ring gear and pinion should
always be installed in an axle as a
matched set (never separately). Be
sure the same identifying (matching) number, painted in white,
appears on the bolt hole face of
the ring gear and on the head of
the drive pinion (Fig. 67).
3. After determining the correct
shim thickness as explained in the
foregoing steps, install the new
pinion and ring gear as outlined
under Assembly.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The drive shaft is the means of


transferring power from the engine
to the differential in the rear axle
and then to the rear wheels. The
drive shaft incorporates two universal joints and a slip yoke. The
universal joints are provided with
a threaded plug which can be removed to lubricate the universal

joints when necessary. The splines


in the yoke and on the transmission
output shaft permit the drive shaft
to move forward and rearward as
the axle moves up and down.
All drive shafts are balanced. If
the car is to be undercoated, cover
the drive shaft to prevent application of the undercoating material.

All universal joints have the cap


retaining clips on the inside of the
drive-shaft yokes.
351 C.l.D. vehicles have U-bolts
to attach the rear U .J. to the Pinion
Flange (Fig. 1). All other vehicles
use clamp plates and bolts as
shown in Fig. 2.

REPLACEMENT

REMOVAL
1. To maintain drive line balance, mark the relation of the slip
yoke and the drive flange on the axle
with the shaft so that they may be
installed in their original positions.
2. Disconnect the rear U-joint
from the drive pinion flange. Pull
the drive shaft toward the rear of
the car until the front U-joint yoke
clears the transmission extension
housing and the seal.

3. Remove the snap rings that


retain the bearings in the yoke and
drive shaft (Fig. 1&2 ).
4. Place the U-joint in a vice or
a press.
5. Select a socket wrench with
an outside diameter slightly smaller
than the U-joint bearings. Select
another socket wrench with an
inside diameter slightly larger than
the bearing outside diameter.
6. Place the socket wrenches at

opposite bearings so that the smaller


socket becomes a bearing driver and
the larger socket becomes a bearing
receiver when the vice jaws come
together (Fig. 3).
7. Close the vice jaws until the
spider contacts the yoke or drive
shaft. Remove the driveshaft from
the vice. Remove the one bearing
with channel lock pliers.

Check the joint for freedom of
movement. If a bind has resulted
from misalignment during the foregoing procedures, tap the ears of the
driveshaft sharply to relieve the
bind. Do not install the drive-shaft
unless the universal joints are free
of bind.
5. If the rubber seal installed
on the end of the transmission extension housing is damaged in any
manner, install a new seal.

DRIVE LINE VI BRAliONS

Vehicle vibration and roughness


is often the result of driveline variatiQns. Driveline disturbance vibrations are usually high frequency
vibrations and are somewhat worse
on acceleration or rapid deceleration.
The vibration produces a buzzing
feeling, a droning condition or, as
some customers describe, "pressure
noise on the eardrums". It is likely
that the vibration sensation is more

5-4

GROUP 5-DRIVE LINE AND CLUTCH

noticeable in the rear seat and over


the driveline, than in any other area
of the car.
Driveline vibrations frequently
originate with excessive runout of
the driveline components, namely,
pinion companion flange, the pinion
itself, drive-shaft, slip yoke and
transmission output shaft. Runout in
these components will produce vibrations due to the fact that the components will be rotating on a centre
other than the centre of balance.
Unbalance of one or more of the
driveline components will produce
vibration.
Driveline angles and the amount
of deflection across the universal
joints will also produce similar
vibrations.

PROPERLY SEA TED

CUP SI1AVES LUG

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURES:

Road test for the presence of conditions described previously.


Driveline and running gear vibrations can be separated from engine
and sometimes transmission vibrations by use of the following methods:
1. Install a tachometer and note
the engine speeds at which the vibration occurs. Stop the vehicle and
operate the engine at the speeds
noted above. If the vibration is present, the problem is in the engine or
transmission input component areas.
2. Operate the vehicle in high
gear in the speed range which produces the maximum vibration. If
practicable, shift the transmission
into intermediate gear and note if
there is a change in the vibration. If
the vibration is unchanged, usually
the engine and transmission can be
eliminated as the source of the problem. Repeat the above procedure but
shift the transmission to neutral and
shut off the engine. Again if the
vibration is unchanged, it can be
assumed that the engine and input
,members of the transmission are not
at fault.
3. Raise the car on a hoist or
place the car on jack stands and
operate the vehicle at the same road
speeds that produce the vibration
noted in the road test. While operating at this speed, carefully adjust
engine R.P.M. so that the maximum
amplitude of the vibration can be
noted and felt. Holding the accelerator pedal steady, disengage the
driveline by either moving the shift
lever to neutral or depressing the
clutch and observing whether or not
the vibration diminishes in direct
proportion to speed of the car as

FIG. 4 - Universal Cup to Pinion Flange Fit

FIG. 5 - Checking Flange Bearing Cup Runout


indicated on the speedometer. Quickly engaging the driveline should reproduce the vibration level of the
driveline which, when being operated
on jack stands, is about twice the
level as that actually experienced out
on the road.
CHECKING COMPANION FLANGE

To check
companion flange,
place the vehicle on a hoist of the

type that supports the axle housing


and proceed as follows:
1. With the driveshaft removed,
check the companion flange for
damage to the universal joint bearing
location lugs and proper bearing
seating. Investigation of driveline
vibration complaints has disclosed
that some complaints are the result
of improper assembly of the companion flange and driveshaft. Accu-

PART 5-1-DRIVE LINE


mulation of dimensional tolerances in
the companion flange and rear universal joint assembly can result in
excessive interference between the
companion flange locating lugs and
universal joint bearings.
If this condition exists and the
bearings are forced into the companion flange, it is possible to shave
metal off the lugs. The result wi:l be
a severe vibration condition. See
Fig. 4.
It will be necessary to replace the
companion flange whenever inspection discloses evidence of damage to
either of the universal joint locating
lugs.
Tight or binding universal joint
bearings must be corrected or replaced. The universal joint bearings
should be checked for any evidence
of binding during the companion
flange inspection.
2. Install a universal joint assembly in the companion flange. (Modify
the universal joint assembly by removing the driveshaft bearing cups
and cutting off one of the driveshaft
bearing cup trunnions.) See Fig. 5.
3. Install a dial indicator on the
pinion retainer or pinion nose bumper
bracket in a position that will allow
indicating the ends of the universal
joint bearing cups and the remaining
end 'of the cross shaft. Install a cup
shaped adaptor on the dial indicator
stem. See Fig. 5.
4. Turn the companion flange so
that the dial indicator cup is bearing
on the machined end surface of1:he
bearing cup. Refer to Fig. 5 . The
flange should be rotated slightly to
obtain the reading which indicates
that the bearing cup surface is perpendicular to the indicator cup. This
will be the point at which the dial
indicator cup is closest the centre of
companion flange rotation. It is also
the point at which the dial indicator
hand will reverse direction as the
companion flange is turning. Set the
indicator to zero.
5. Carefully retract the dial stem
and rotate the companion flange 180
to position the opposite flange universal joint bearing cup machined
surface under the indicator cup.
Again slightly rotate or rock the flange
to position the bearing perpendicular
to the dial indicator cup. Again, this is
the point at which the indicator hand
will reverse direction as the flange is
rotated. Record the indicator runout
reading.
6. Rotate the companion flange
90 and position the dial indicator
cup on the machined end surface of

the cross shaft. See Fig. 6. Make
sure that the end surface of the cross
shaft is perpendicular to the indicator cup. This requires that the
cross shaft be moved fore and aft.on
the flange bearing cups noting the
point at which the indicator hand
reverses direction. Then rotate or
rock the flange assembly until the
cross shaft is perpendicular on the
pinion shaft axis and the indicator
hand reverses direction.
6. Zero the dial indicator and
recheck the zero point slightly rocking the cross shaft fore and aft and
then rocking the .companion flange
side to side.
7. Carefully retract the dial stem
and rotate the flange 180. Rotate the
cross shaft 180 on the flange bearing
cups to position the cross shaft under
the dial indicator cup. Rock the cross
shaft fore and aft and the companion
side to side to establish the point at
which the indicator hand reverses
direction. This will determine the
driveshaft universal cross shaft runout. Record this reading.
8. Repeat Steps '4' through '7'
at least three times and average the
indicator runout readings obtained.
9. In order to determine the total
companion flange runout, it will be
necessary to use the chart in Fig. 7.

Position a straight edge at the amount


of flange bearing cup runout indicated above on the left hand line of
the chart. Position the other end of
the straight edge at the amount of
driveshaft universal cross shaft runout indicated on the right hand line
of the chart. The straight edge will
indicate the amount of combined
runout on the middle line of the
chart. For example: with an indicated
. 003" flange bearing cup runout and
an indicated . 004" driveshaft universal cross shaft runout, the combined companion flange runout,
according to the chart will be . 005"
as indicated on the centre column of
the chart.
The Falcon companion flange rur.out specification is . 008" maximum.
However, in some vehicles it may be
necessary to reduce the runout to
. 005" in order to obtain maximum
vibration reduction.
Note that according to the chart,
runout of . 003" in one dimension
and up to . 004" on the other dimension will result in desirable . 005"
combined runout. However, if the
runout exceeds . 005" on either
measurement, the combined runout
will be . 005" or more.
NOTE: If it is not possible or
practical to rework a universal joint

assembly in the manner described,
the above checks can be made without the rework. This can be accomplished by taking readings on both
ends of the cross shaft. However, it
wili be necessary to take two complete sets of readings in order to
eliminate any possible dimensional
errors in the cross shaft from affecting the companion flange runout
readings. The second set of readings
must be read with the universal joint
assembly rotated 180 on the companion flange.

FIG.8 - Universal U-bolts


reworked

10. If the reading obtained in


Step '9' exceeds specifications, reposition the:: companion flange on the
pinion shaft 180 and repeat Steps
'4' through '9'.
11. If the repeat readings still
exceed specifications, reposition the
flange an additional90 on the pinion
shaft and recheck runout.

12. If the runout is still excessive, replace the companion flange


and recheck runout. If necessary,
rotate flange on pinion shaft until
acceptable runout is obtained.
13. If excessive runout is still
evident after replacement of the
companion flange, it will be necessary
to replace the ring and pinion gear
and repeat the above checks until
runout is within specifications.
Lateral runout of the pinion drive
flange universal joint bearing cup
seats, can be measured in the following manner.
1. Using the modified universal
joint described in the preceding
paragraphs, measure the outside diameter of the two opposite cups and
note any variation; mark the larger
cup. In this case it is preferable to
obtain two cups of the exact same
size. Remove the remaining bearing
cup.
2. Rework two universal joint
U-boltsfclamp plates as shown is
Fig. 8, i.e. grind half the fiat
surface away.
3. Raise the vehicle on a frame
contact hoist or jack the rear of the
vehicle and fit body stands .
4. Fit the universal joint into
the flange with the relieved portion
of the U-bolts/clamp plate toward
the centre of the flange (refer Fig. 8) .
5. Mount a dial gauge from the
differential housing so that the stylus
contacts the smaller of the universal
joint bearing cups.
6. Rotate the flange slightly until
the dial gauge indicates the highest
point of the cap. Zero the dial gauge.
7. Lift the dial gauge stem sufficiently to allow clearance as the flange
is rotated through 180 to the
opposite cup.
8. Lower the stylus onto the cup
and rotate the flange until the highest
point of the cup is indicated. Note
the dial gauge reading and subtract
the cup variation as in Item '1'.
9. Repeat Steps '6', '7' and '8' at
least three times and average the
result.
If the average measurement is
greater than . 002 inches, a new
flange should be fitted and again
checked to this procedure.
DRIVESHAFT RUNOUT CHECK:

Check the driveshaft runout 5"


from each end and in the middle of
the shaft. Driveshaft runout should
not exceed . 020" at any of the three
checking points.
Many times a vibration condition
can be reduced to an acceptable level

PART 5-1-DRIVE LINE


by rotating a driveshaft that has
some degree of runout, 180 on the
companion flange.
DRIVESHAFT BALANCING
PROCEDURE:
1. Place the car on a twin post
hoist so that the rest of the car is
supported on the rear axle housing
with wheels free to rotate.
2. A car is normally more sensitive to excessive unbalance at the rear
so that checking should begin at the
rearward end of propeller shaft.
Therefore, locate the heavy side of
the driveshaft by holding crayon or
coloured pencil close to rearward end
of shaft while shaft is rotating
(speedometer.indicating 40-50 mph).
See Fig. 9. Carefully bring crayon up

FIG. 9 - Driveshaft Balancing


Procedure

until it just contacts rotating shaft. If


carefully done, only the heavy side
(point of maximum runout) will be
marked by crayon. This normally
gives a good indication of which side
of the shaft is heavy for unbalance
and indicates a starting point for
initial location of clamps.
3. Install two Jubilee Type hose
clamps on the propeller shaft, as
shown in Fig.lO.Position each clamp
with heads 180 from crayon marking. Tighten clan1ps.
4. Run the car through the speed
range to 65-70 mph. If no unbalance
is felt, nothing further need be done
on the hoist. However, if unbalance
still exists, the combined weight of
the two hose clamp heads may be

FIG. 1 0-lnstallationWhiHek Type Hose Clamps

5-7
excessive, so to reduce this excess,
rotate the clamp heads away from
each other approximately 45 (one
each way from the original position).
See Fig. 11. Run car and note if
unbalance has improved.
5. Continue to rotate the clamps
apart in smaller angular increments
until the car feel for unbalance is best.
6. Road test the car again for
final check of balance.
NOTE: Slight vibration felt in the
car on the hoist may not show up i.ti
a road test which is after all the final
determining factor.
CAUTION: Do not run car on
hoist for extended periods due to
danger of overheating of transmission
or engine.

CORRECTION
ENGINE IN CAR
Since any change in face alignment will change bore alignment,
it may be possible to correct bore
alignment by changing face alignment. Face alignment can be
changed by shimming between the
flywheel housing and ~ngine. Fig.
2 shows the type of shim which can
be fabricated.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

RELEASE BEARING
Wipe all oil and dirt off the release bearing. The bearing is prelubricated and should not be
deaned with solvent.
Inspect the bearing retainer for damaged
or loose spring clips and rivets.
Inspect the release bearing hub bore
for burrs which may cause the assembly
to drag on the transmission bearing
retainer. Any such burrs should be cleaned
up with fine crocus cloth. If burrs are
found inspect the transmission input
shaft bearing retainer for evidence of
scoring. Any scoring should be polished
out with crocus cloth. Coat bearing
retainer with a thin film of moly-base
grease.
Prior to release bearing installation,
apply a light film of MIC-75 A grease on
both sides of the release lever fork where
it contacts the release bearing hub and
retaining springs. Release lever pivots
and push rod seat.
Care must be exercised when applying
lubricants to the release bearing, release
bearing hub and the release lever fork to

noisy, replace the bearing and hub
assembly.
Misalignment between the engine and
transmission can cause release bearing
failure. Other symptoms of misalignment
are: transmission jumping out of gear,
especially top gear, drive line vibration,
excessive clutch disc spin time resulting
in gear clash, and excessive transmission
gear wear.

The pressure plate should be lubricated with lubriplate between the


driving lugs and the edges of the
pressure plate. Depress the pressure plate finge1s fully, apply the
lubricant, and then move the fing-ers up and down until the lubricant is worked in . Do not apply exct>ssive lubricant.

PRESSURE PLATE AND COVER

Inspect the clutch disc facings for oil


or grease. Eliminate the source of any
oil or grease before replacing the disc.
An excessive amount of grease in the
release bearing hub will find its way to the
disc facings. Too much lubricant in the
transmission or a plugged transmission
vent will force the transmission lubricant
out the input shaft and onto the disc
facings.

Inspect the surface of the pressure plate for burn marks, scores,
OJ' ridges. Generally, pressure plate
re-surfacing is not recommended.
However, minor burn marks, scores,
or ridges may be removed. During
the resurfacing process, the flatness of the pressute plate must be
maintained. If the pressure plate
is badly heat-checked or deeply
scored, replace the pressure plate
and cover assembly.
Clean the
pressure plate and flywheel surfaces with a crocus cloth to be sure the
surfaces are free from any oil film. Do
not use cleaners with petroleum base, and
do not immerse the pressure plate in the
solvent.

CLUTCH DISC

Inspect the clutch discs for worn or


loose facings. Check the discs for distortion and for lose rivets at the hub.
Check for broken springs. Springs loose
enough to rattle will not cause noise when
the car is operating. Replace the discs
assemblies if any of these defects are
present. Be especially c-.areful when installing a new disc to avoid dropping it or
contaminating it with oil or grease.

302 C.I.D. ONLY


Place the plate on the floor, being careful not to score or :scratch
the surface. Force each individual
finger down, then release it quickly.
If the finger does not return quickly, a binding condition is indicated,
and the pressure plate should be
replaced.

PILOT BEARING
Check the fit of the clutch pilot bearing
in the housing of the crankshaft.
The bearing is pressed into the crankshaft and should not be loose or cocked
in the bore.
If the bearing is worn or damaged,
replace it with a new service bearing.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

There are three types of clutches


used on this model.
A. A 9t or 9! inch single dry plate
diaphragm clutch is used on six
cylinder engines. Fig. 6.
B. A 10 inch single dry plate coil
spring clutch is used with the
302 C.I.D. V-8 engine. Fig. 7.
C. A 9t inch twin disc dry plate
diaphragm clutch is used with
the351 C.I.D. V-8engine.Fig. 8.
All clutches are hydraulically
operated. The discs incorporate a
spring dampened hub, and the
linings are cushion mounted to
ensure a smooth take up of the
drive.
The clutch disc hub is free to slide
along the splines of the main drive
gear shaft, the forward end of which
forms a spigot to fit into the clutch
pilot bearing in the centre of the
crankshaft.
OPERATION

The clutch release mechanism, is


hydraulically actuated by a pendant
pedal, connected by a short push rod
to the clutch master cylinder.
The clutch master cylinder is
mounted on the front face of the
engine rear bulkhead on the driver's
side of the vehicle.
The front spigot end of the piston
accommodates the valve stem and
carries the valve spring retainer. The
return spring, under compression, is
fitted between the spring retainer
and the valve spacer at the forward
end of the cylinder.
A reservoir port, drilled at the

FIG. 6-Ciutch Disc


and Flywheel6 Cyl.

5-19

PART 5-3-CLUTCH
front of the cylinder, allows fluid
from the reservoir to enter the
cylinder.
A tube connects the master
cylinder port to the slave cylinder.
With the clutch pedal m the fully
released position, fluid is free to flow
from the reservoir into the cylinder.
When the pedal is depressed, the
piston moves forward advancing the
valve spacer and seal. The spacer
contacts the end of the cylinder. The
wave shim between the flange on the
valve stem and the valve spacer
pushes the valve seal into contact
with the end of the cylinder, so
sealing off the reservoir port, preventing the fluid from being pumped
back into the reservoir. The fluid is,
therefore, pumped through the outlet
port to the slave cylinder on the
clutch housing, the increase in
hydraulic pressure assisting the
action of the valve seal.
Pressure in the clutch slave
cylinder operates a non-adjustable
push rod which, in turn, acts on the
release lever end. The release lever
is retained on a fulcrum in the
clutch housing by mear'i of a spring.
When the release lever is actuated,
the release bearing is moved toward the clutch, moving the fingers
of the diaphragm spring.
The release bearing is retained
to the clutch release lever fork by
means of two clips.
This method of clutch operation
ensures smooth clutch engagement
as relative movement between the
engine and the clutch pedal is not
transferred to the operating
mechanism.
The diaphragm spring is pivoted
on a fulcrum ring located on pins
which are riveted to the clutch
housing. As the diaphragm spring
is compressed by the release bearing, the diaphragm's outer edge
deflects thereby causing the clutch
to disengage.
When the pedal is released, the
master cylinder return spring pushes
back the piston, reducing the pressure in the cylinder. The diaphragm
spring or pressure plate fingers
acting on the operating cylinder
piston, via the release arm and push
rod, pushes the fluid back into the
master cylinder. As the piston
reaches the end of its rearward
travel, the valve spacer and seal will
be pulled away from the reservoir
port by the valve stem. The valve
uncovers the reservoir port so that
fluid may be replenished in the
cylinder, as necessary.

IN CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

The maintenance required for the


clutch system. is to top-up the master
cylinder, and, if necessary, to bleed
the system. Details of these operations are given in the following
paragraphs.
No manual adjustment is possible
or provided for on any of the clutch
systems.
RESERVOIR TOPPING-UP

The fluid level in the reservoir


tank, which is integral with the
clutch master cylinder body, should
be regularly checked. Top up to
the correct level, marked on the
master cylinder body with approved
fluid. The cap and the area surrounding it should be wiped with a
clean rag before removing the cap,
to prevent dirt entering when it is
removed.
Ensure that the air vent in the
cap is clear before replacing the cap.
BLEEDING THE CLUTCH

If it is suspected that an incorrect


fluid has been used in the hydraulic
system, drain completely and flush
out with methylated spirit or commercial alcohol.
Renew the piston seals in the
master cylinder and slave cylinder

EJ

as outlined in Page 5-19 and refill


the system with fluid, Rl-39 A.
Engine, transmission or other
mineral oils must not be used in the
system or allowed to come into
contact with seals, pistons, etc.,
being stored. Foreign matter must
be avoided since it may score the
pistons or damage the seals and
render the clutch wholly or partially
inoperative.
When replacing clutch system
parts, examine the seals and any seal
which is imperfect should be replaced. Pistons and housings should
be checked for scores which may
provide a track for fluid leaks under
pressure and any damaged parts
must be renewed.
Prior to assembly, immerse hydraulic components in clean fluid,
Rl-39 A to facilitate fitting and
provide initial lubrication for working surfaces.
1. Clean the area surrounding
the bleed valve on the cylinder.
2. Fit a suitable tube on the
bleed valve and place the end of the
tube in a bottle containing fluid,
Rl-39 A. Keep the end of the tube
beneath the surface of the fluid
throughout the bleeding operation.
3. Open the bleed valve by turn-

ing it anti-clockwise and slowly


depress and release the clutch pedal
several times. For each stroke some
fluid or air should be pumped out of
the tube. If neither fluid nor air is
pumped out, the bleed valve is not
properly opened or there is a blockage in the pipe line.
NOTE: Where air in the system is
suspected remember that when bleeding the system the initial application
of the clutch pedal will cause the air
trapped in the bleed tube to be forced
into the fluid container.
4. Continue depressing and releasing the clutch pedal slowly until
no more air bubbles emerge from the
rube, ensuring that the fluid level in
the reservoir is maintained during
the bleeding operation.
Do not replenish the reservoir
with the fluid drained from the
system as it may be aerated or contaminated. If the fluid pumped out
of the tube is dirty, drain the system
completely and refill with fresh
Rl-39 A.
5. Close the bleed valve tightly
with the pedal fully released, when
fluid alone comes out of the bleed
tube with each stroke of the clutch
pedal.
6. Refill the reservoir to the
correct level and refit the cap.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


outside of the transrruss10n, such
as, clutch, clutch linkage, steering
columns and shift linkage. Before
and during the road test, make sure
that the clutch is functioning properly, the shift linkage is properly
adjusted, the steering column is
properly aligned and, that the transmission is filled to the proper level
with lubricant.

The following problems can be


experienced with a manual shift
transmission: excessive amount of
noise, hard shifting efforts, transmission jumps out of gear, gears
clash when transmission is shifted
from one gear ratio to another, and
lubricant leakage.
The car should be road tested, if
possible, to determine or confirm
complaint. Under normal operating
conditions, a large percentage of
transmission complaints are due to
maladjusted or faulty components

The following diagnosis procedure is compiled as a guide in correcting problems related to manual
transmissions. Trouble symptoms,

possible causes and corrective


measures are listed in the order
they should be checked to eliminate
all possibility of maladjustment or
faulty components outside of the
transmission prior to any transmission removal and disassembly. If
the transmission was removed, repaired and reinstalled, make certain
the clutch and all gear shift linkage
is adjusted to specifications. Road
test the vehicle to be sure that
the problem has been completely
corrected.

normal "blackout" condition does
exist, the customer should be informed that the transmission gears
cannot be pulled into mesh because
of gear tooth to tooth abutment
which can be eliminated by releasing
and depressing the clutch pedal again
(thus spinning the clutch disc). This
will re-index the drive and driven
gear teeth and allow the gears to

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

The 300 C.D. three-speed transmission is used in models fitted with


a 6 cylinder engine. The designation
3 00 C.D. is the actual distance
between the centreline of the countershaft and the centreline of the
input shaft. An identification plate
(Fig. 5) is attached to the L/ Hand
rear of the extension housing.
A synchronizer is provided for
shifting to second and third speeds.
Shifts to first and reverse speeds are
accomplished with a sliding gear.
Ball bearings support the input shaft
and gear and the centre of the output
shaft. Needle bearings in the input
shaft bore support the front of the
output shaft. The countershaft gear
(cluster gear) runs on 3 rows of
needle bearings. A bronze bushing is
used in the reverse idler gear.
A bushing located at the rear of
the extension housing supports the
rear of the output shaft when the
tailshaft is in position. The synchronizer and the blocking rings are the
conventional tapered ring and straight
clutch gear type.
OPERATION

When first gear is selected, the


shift lever moves the first and reverse
sliding gear into mesh with the low
gear on the countershaft (cluster)

gear (Fig. 6). Power flow is now from
the input gear, through the countershaft gear to the first and reverse
sliding gear and out through the
output shaft.
When second gear is selected, the
shift lever moves the second and
third speed synchronizer sleeve rearward to force the blocking ring
conical surface against the matching
cone on the constant mesh intermediate gear located on the output
shaft. When the vehicle is moving,
as when shifting from low to a
higher gear ratio, the internal teeth
of the synchronizer sleeve and those
on the blocking ring will not index
until the intermediate gear is brought
up or down to the speed of the
synchronizer sleeve which is rotating

at output shaft speed.


The synchronizer sleeve with further movement will slide over the
blocking ring and engage the clutch
teeth on the constant mesh intermediate gear. Since the intermediate
gear is now locked to the output
shaft by means of the synchronizer
sleeve, power flow is from the input
shaft through the countershaft gear
to the constant mesh intermediate
gear to the output shaft.
Engagement of third speed is the
same as second except for ratio. In
third gear, the clutch teeth on the
input shaft are locked directly to
the output shaft by the second and
third speed synchronizer to provide
a ratio of 1 : 1.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

The 3 00 Model three-speed transmission is used for 6 cylinder engines


and V8 engined vehicles. The designation 3 00 is the actual distance
between the centreline of the countershaft and the centreline of the input
shaft.
A transmission service identification plate (Fig. 5, page 6-9 ) is
located on the left side of the extension housing at the rear. The first
line on the tag will show the transmission model and service identification code when required.
This transmission is of the fully
synchronized type, with all gears
except the reverse gear and sleeve
being in constant mesh. All forwardspeed changes are accomplished with
synchronizer sleeves (Fig. 36) instead of sliding gears. The synchronizers enable quicker-shifts, eliminates gear clash and permit easy
engagement of low gear at low
vehicle speeds.
The forward-speed gears are helical-cut and are in constant mesh
(Fig. 36). Gears used in the reverse
gear train are spur-cut and are not
synchronized.
Ball bearings support the input
shaft and gear and the centre of the
output shaft (Fig. 36). Roller bear-

ings in the input shaft bore support
the front of the output shaft. The
countershaft gear (cluster gear) runs
on three rows of roller bearings. A
bronze bushing is used in the reverse
idler gear on 6 cylinder and roller
bearings for 8 cylinder.
A bushing located at the rear of
the extension housing supports the
rear of the output shaft.
Synchronizers and blocking rings

are the conventional tapered ring and


straight clutch gear type (Fig. 17,
page 6-l3and Fig. 39,page6:2l).
The shift forks, detent mechanism,
and related parts are provided in the
transmission case (Fig. 37).
OPERATION

When the first-speed gear is selected, the shift lever moves the reverse
gear and sleeve forward and forces
the synchronizer blocking ring coni-

cal surface against the matching cone
on the constant mesh first gear
located on the output shaft. If the
car is moving, the internal teeth of
the reverse gear and sleeve blocking
ring will not index until the constant
mesh first gear is brought up or down
to the speed of the reverse gear and
sleeve which is rotating at output
shaft speed.
The reverse gear and sleeve has
internal splines that, with further
movement, will slide over the blocking ring and engage external clutch
teeth on the constant mesh first gear.
Since first gear is now locked to the
output shaft and is always meshed
with the countershaft (cluster) gear,
the power flow is from the input
gear, through the countershaft gear,
to the constant mesh first gear,

FIG. 38-Powerflow
through the reverse gear and sleeve
to the output shaft, and out the rear
of the transmission.
Engagement of second and third
gears is the same as first except for
ratio.
In third gear, the input gear and
shaft is locked directly to the output
shaft by the second and third speed
synchronizer to provide a ratio of 1 : 1.
Spur teeth are cut on the outside
of the reverse gear and sleeve. The
reverse gear and sleeve like the hub

are always locked to the output shaft.


Reverse gear is engaged by sliding
the reverse gear and sleeve into mesh
with the reverse idler gear. The drive
is then from the input gear, through
the countershaft gear, to and through
the reverse idler gear to the output
shaft reverse gear and sleeve. The
gears in this position will rotate the
output shaft in a reverse direction.
A system of interlocks and detents
in the transmission case prevents the
selection of more than one gear at a
time and helps to hold any gear in
the selected position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION
The Ford designed 4-speed transmission (Fig. 48) is of the fully synchronized type with all gears except
the reverse sliding gear being in
constant mesh. All forward-speed
changes are accomplished with synchronizer sleeves. The synchronizers
will enable quicker shifts, greatly reduce gear clash, and permit downshifting into any forward-speed gear
while the vehicle is moving.
The shift linkage is mounted
directly on the extension housing
(Fig. 50) and enters the driver's compartment through an opening in the
floor pan. A flexible rubber dust boot

(Fig. 50) is provided to seal the


driver's compartment from the exterior.
The shift pattern is shown on the
top of the gear shift lever knob. A
safety measure is incorporated in
the shift mechanism which prevents
accidental engagement of reverse
gear, this consists of a spring which
resists movement of the lever from
the neutral position, reverse being
selected by moving the lever against,
and over-riding the spring tension.
All forward-speed gears in the transmission are helical-type, however, the
reverse sliding gear and the exterior
of the first- and second-speed syn-

FIG. 41-Four-speed Transmission-Typical

chronizer sleeve are spur-type gears.


A transmission service identification tag is located on the right side of
the case at the front. The first line on
the tag will show the transmission
model and service identification code
when required. The second line will
show the transmission serial number.
OPERATION
In first-speed (Figure 49), the firstand second-speed synchronizer sleeve
is moved rearward by the shift fork.
The sleeve engages the first-speed
blocking ring, which acts as a cone
clutch applied to the free-wheeling
first-speed gear. This action speeds
up or slows down the first-speed gear

PART 6-4-4-SPEED FULLY SYNCHRONIZED MANUAL TRANSMISSION


to match the speed of the output
shaft. Further movement of the
sleeve locks the first- and secondspeed synchronizer hub to the firstspeed gear by means of internal
splines. On engagement of theclutch,
power flows through the input shaft
and gear to the meshed countershaft
gear and thence to the first-speed
gear. This gear transmits the power
through the locked synchronizer hub
to the transmission output shaft. All
the other forward-speed gears are in
idler motion, as they are all driven
by the countershaft (cluster) gear,
but they do not transmit power because they are not locked to the
output shaft. All the forward-speed
shifts are made in the same manner
as the first-speed shift, due to the
constant-mesh features.
Reverse gear is engaged by moving
the reverse sliding gear forward on
the reverse idler gear until it meshes
with the external teeth (spur-type) of
the first- and second-speed synchronizer sleeve. Movement of the sliding
gear is accomplished by the centre
shaft lever. With all forward-speed
synchronizer sleeves in neutral, power
flow in reverse is through the input
shaft to the constant-mesh countershaft (cluster) gear, thence to the
constant-mesh reverse idler. Splines
then carry the power through the
reverse sliding gear to the first- and
second-speed synchronizer sleeve
which is locked to the output shaft.
As the reverse sliding gear is meshed
with the synchronizer sleeve, power
is transmitted to the output shaft,
rotating it in a reverse direction.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The automatic transmission consists of a torque converter and a


hydraulically controlled epicycle gearbox which provides three forward
gears and one reverse.
The torque converter is an "open"
type which means that the drive
through converter is by means of the
hydraulic fluid circulating therein.
This gives good flexibility in top gear
which can be engaged at low road
speed with ligh~ t~ottle op~ning.
Economic operation 1s thus achieved.
The automatic transmission has a
planetary gear set consisting of 2 sun
gears, 2 sets of 3 planet pinior;ts contained within 1 planetary earner and
1 ring gear.
The various speed ratios are
obtained by holding or clutching
various combinations of elements of
the planetary train, and this is performed by two bands, two multi disc
clutches, and a one way clutch.
A gear type oil pump driven by
the engine is employed for supplying
the hydraulic control system.
The engines on vehicles equipped
with automatic transmission cannot
be started by pushing or towing the
vehicle.
. A selector lever may be mounted
on the steering column or on the
floor, the range chosen showing in
the quadrant located above the steering wheel centre or on the floor
console.
The transmission has six positions
on the selector quadrant and allows
for fully automatic or manually controlled gear changes.
'P'- (Park)
'R'- (Reverse)
'N' - (Neutral)

FIG. 1 - CRUIS-0-MA TIC


'D' - (Normal Drive Position) Car starts in first gear and automatically shifts to second and third gears.
'2' - Second gear - Car starts
and remains in second gear.
'1' - First gear - Car starts and
remains in first gear.
When a shift to '1' is made from 'D'
or '2' with throttle closed the car will
remain in second gear until approximately 17 mph before shifting to low
gear.
A part throttle downshift has been
incorporated in this transmission to
make it sensitive to torque demand.

The three elements in the torque


converter are an impeller driven by
the engine and a turbine or rotor
attached to the transmission input
shaft, as in a fluid flywheel, plus a
stator mounted on a sprag type oneway clutch between the impeller and
the turbine. The stator can only
revolve in the same direction as the
impeller.
When starting from rest only the
impeller revolves and fluid is thrown
outwards by centrifugal force through
the impeller vanes and is directed
into the turbine thus causing the
turbine to rotate as well (see Fig. 3).
The fluid passes through the turbine
vanes and is directed backwards into
the stator which remains stationarv as
it cannot revolve in the reverse direction against the one-way clutch. The
direction of the fluid passing through
the stator vanes is changed and on

TOWING

Important. Should it be necessary to tow a vehicle fitted with an


Automatic Transmission, the drive
shaft must be disconnected or the
rear end of the car suspended, otherwise subsequent failure of the transmission will occur.
TORQUE CONVERTER

The drive from the engine to the


transmission is by means of a three
element hydrokinetic torque converter which provides an infinitely variable torque multiplication between
2: 1, . when starting from rest or
during maximum acceleration, and
1:1, when the engine and transmission input shaft speeds are approximately the same. Under the latter
condition the torque converter performs the same function as a fluid
flywheel.

re-entering the impeller assists in
driving it, thus providing a torque
multiplication.
As the turbine speed increases, the
fluid ftow angle from the turbine
vanes changes, until at a speed
differential of approximately ninety
per cent of the impeller the stator is
driven in the same direction as the
turbine and the impeller.
The torque converter then adopts
the characteristics of a fluid flywheel
and there is no torque multiplication.
The torque converter fitted to the
Falcon has a nominal diameter of
11 in.

the forward sun gear, in reverse


power enters through the reverse sun
gear, power leaving the gear set in
each case by the ring gear. For forward gears the double set of pinions
is used, but in reverse a single set is
used so causing the ring gear to
rotate in the opposite direction to the
sun gear. The various mechanical
ratios of the gear set are obtained
by the engagement of hydraulically
operated multi-disc clutches and
brake bands.
MULTIPLATE CLUTCHES

The two multiplate clutches are

operated by hydraulic pistons to


connect the converter to the gear set.
For first and second gears the front
clutch connects the converter to the
forward sun gear, and for reverse the
rear clutch connects the converter to
the reverse sun gear. Both clutches
are applied locking the epicyclic gear
train to give direct drive (1 : 1) for
top gear.
The front clutch consists of three
externally and four internally toothed
plates. The rear clutch consists of
five pairs of internally and externally
toothed plates.

TRANSMISSION

The transmission consists of a


hydraulically controlled epicyclic gear
train with two multi-plate clutches,
two brake bands and a sprag type
one-way clutch. By applying the
clutches and/ or brake bands automatically in various combinations,
three forward gears and one reverse
are obtained. Hydraulic fluid is supplied under pressure to a control
system and thence to the clutch
operating pistons and brake band
servos by an oil pump driven by the
engine. This pump supplies all the
hydraulic needs of the automatic
transmission and torque converter.

GROUP

The internally toothed plates are


faced on each side with friction
material and are interchangeable
between the front and rear clutches.
The externally toothed plates, however, are not interchangeable as the
rear plates are dished. The dished
plate<> can be readily identified as
some of the teeth are omitted.
These plates must always be fitted
with the dishing in the same direction.
Brake Bands.
Elements of the gear set are held
stationary, to effect an output shaft
speed reduction, by two brake
bands, each operated by a hydraulic
servo. The rear band holds the
pinion carrier stationary to provide
the first gear ratio with engine braking in Jock-up. The reverse sun gear
is held stationary by the front band
to provide the second gear ratio.
One-way Clutch.
In drive a one-way sprag-type
clutch is used, instead of the rear
band employed in lock-up, to prevent anti-clockwise rotation ot the
pinion carrier.
This one- way clutch allows the
gear set to freewheel when in first
and assists smooth changes between
first and second and vice-versa.
INHIBITOR SWITCH

A non-adjustable inhibitor switch


is mounted on the left hand side of
the transmission.
It is operated by a rod mounted
internally and connected to the
parking pawl.
Four terminals are provided-two
for ignition and two for reversing
lamp connections.
CONTROL SYSTEM

The control system regulates


pump pressure and directs fluid
to the converter and lubrication
system . Also, it directs fluid to
the appropriate clutch and servo
pistons, but at a pressure which
varies with vehicle speed and engine torque. Three types of valves
are used, regulating valves, shuttle
valves and a manual valve.
Regulating valves operate in
equilibrium which means that the
total force operating in one direction on the valve is opposed by
an equal and opposite force. These
forces are respectively, spring
forces and hydraulic pressures
operating on given areas of the

7- AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
valves. Regulated pressures are
controlled by the valves oscillating between a feed and an exhaust
port to maintain this equilibrium.
Shuttle valves move in both
directions a fixed distance. This
movement is caused by the forces
in one direction exceeding the
forces in the opposite direction.
These forces are respectively spring
and hydraulic pressure acting upon
given areas of the valves. These
valves are used to direct or to provide an exhaust for fluid.
The manual valve is controlled by
the position of the selector lever and
directs fluid, or provides an exhaust
from, the clutch and servo pistons
according to the position selected.
OIL PUMP

The oil pump driven by the


torque converter impeller, operates whenever the engine is running. All the hydraulic requirements of the torque converter and
automatic transmission are supplied by this pump.
The oil pump consists of an inner
externally toothed gear in mesh with
an internally toothed gear housed
eccentrically to the inner gear. The
drive to the pump inner gear is by
tangs on the drive shaft attached to
the torque converter and the gear
revolves about the torque converter
support on the pump adaptor plate.
The operation of the oil pump is
shown diagrammatically in Fig. 5.
As the gears revolve, oil is drawn
from the sump through the inlet port
into the space between the gear teeth
as they come out of mesh and is
carried round between the gear teeth
to the outlet- port where the teeth
again mesh.
The oil is forced out through the
outlet port and flows to the regulator
valves which control the delivery
pressure.
PRIMARY REGULATOR VALVE

This valve regulates pump pressure. Control pressure, operating


on a small area of the valve, is
affected by modulated throttle pressure operating on one end of the
valve. These forces are opposed by
the primary regulator valve spring
and ~hrottle pressure acting on the
opposite end of the valve. The control pressure produced varies with
the accelerator pedal position and

car speed, and provides the correct


clutch and servo capacity under
operating conditions.
This control pressure is directed
to the manual valve and throttle
valve from the primary valve.
SECONDARY REGULATOR VALVE

This valve controls convertor


and lubrication pressures. Convertor pressure acting on one end of
the valve is opposed by spring
force on the other end.

GOVERNOR

The governor, mounted on and


rotated by the output shaft, is a
pressure regulating valve which
reduc<:s control pressure to a figure
that varies with the output shaft,
speed, and therefore, car speed.
This variable pressure in the
control system effects up and down
changes through the first to second
and second to third shift valves.
When the governor rotates at low
speeds (Fig.6), the governor weight
and valve move outward by centrifugal force. This outward force is
opposed by hydraulic pressure produced by governor pressure acting
upon a small area of the governor
valve. Since the governor valve
is a regulating valve, and attempts
to remain in equilibrium governor
pressure will rise in accordance
with the increase in centrifugal
force caused by increased speed of
rotation.
As output shaft speed increases,
the governor weight moves outwards to a stop in the governor
body. When this happens, a spring
located between the weight and
the governor valve becomes effective. The constant force of this
spring combines with the governor
valve centrifugal force to oppose
governor pressure, so rendering
governor pressure less sensitive to
output shaft speed variations.
Manual Centro! Valve.
This valve, actuated by the selector
lever directs control pressure to, or
exhausts fluid from, the appropriate
valves or modulator valve and plunger components, according to the
position selected.

Full movement of the downshift
valve directs throttl e pressure to
the shift valves to delay changes
up, or effect third to second or
third to first changes at pre-set
maximum speeds. Also , throttle
pressure is directed to the second
to third valve plunger. This reduces the value of throttle pressure
by a fixed amount and this pressure
is diFeeted to the first to second

The down shift valve , connected


to the throttle linkage by a cable
actuated cam, varies control pressure with accelerator pedal depression . Movement of the downshift valve compresses the throttle
valve spring located between the
downshift valve and the throttle
valve . This spring is opposed by
the throttle return S!)ring combined
with throttle pressure, acting at
low car speed , on one area of the
throttle valve , and at high road
speed on two areas of the throttle
valve . A pressure is produced
therefore, proportional to both en-

and second to third valves to control the change points sensitivity


relative to throttle pressure and ,
therefore , accelerator position .
The modulator plunger is a regulating valve that reduces throttle
pressure by a fixed amount. This
modulated pressure operating on
one end of the plunger assisted by
the modulator valve spring, is opposed by throttle pressure operating
on the opposite end of the valve .
This modulated throttle pressure is
directed to the primary regulator
valve thus varying the increase
rate of control pressure relative to
throttle pressure .
The modulator valve is a shuttle
valve . Governor pressure operating on the large end is opposed
by the modulator spring. As governor pressure rises with road speed
the valve moves. contacting the
modulator plunger. Further vaJv, :
movement prevents the plunger
from regulating, and modulated
throttle pressure then becomes
equal to throttle pressure. This
movement directs throttle pressure
to a second area of the throttle
valve and by this means the high
throttle and control pressures existing at the converter stall condition
are reduced when the car is moving
for satisfactory gear change qualities.

At low speeds, when the servo
orifice is by-passed, the front servo
releases quickly with the result
that second to third or third to
second changes are smooth . At
higher speeds, the front servo release fluid passes through the orifice which delays the front servo
release and effects a firm second
to third and third to second change.
The servo orifice control valve
therefore affects the relationship
between the rear clutch and front
servo to provide correct change
quality under all operating conditiom
Shift Valve Operation'D' Selected
First to Second Valve and
Plunger.

Both the first to second valve


and plunger are shuttle valves and
operate together when "D" is selected. Governor pressure, operating on the large end of the first to
second valve, is opposed by reduced
throttle pressure from the second
to third plunger and the spring
operating on the opposite end of
the first to second plunger. When
the governor pressure exceeds the
spring force combined with reduced throttle pressure, the valvemoves tn the second 2ear oosition
and control pressure is directed to
the apply side of the front servo
piston. Movement of the valve
removes control pressure from an
additional area of the valve and
exhausts reduced throttle pressure
from the plunger via the downshift
valve. This allows the change from
second to first to occur at a lower
speed than the change from first to
second. When governor force is less
than the spring force, the valve
moves to the first gear position and
the apply side of the front servo is
opened to exhaust.
Second to Third Vahe and
Plunger.

The second to third plunger is


a regulating valve that reduces the

value of throttle pressure by a fixed


amount and is inoperative when
throttle pressure is below this fixed
amount. Throttle pressure, operating on one end of the valve
plunger is opposed by this reduced
throttle pressure and the second to
third valve spring located between
the plunger and valve. This reduced pressure is directed to the
second to third valve and the first
to second plunger to vary the
change points sensitivity relative to
throttle pressure and accelerator
position.
The second to third valve is a
shuttle valve. In the second gear
position and before the second to
third valve plunger begins regulating, governor pressure, operating
on the large end of this valve is
opposed by the second to third valve
spring.
Mter the plunger begins regulating, governor pressure, operating on
the large end of the valve, is opposed
by reduced throttle pressure operating on the small end of the valve,
and throttle pressure operating on
the end of the second to third valve
plunger. The latter force is relayed
to the second to third valve by the
valve spring. Movement of the valve
to the third gear position directs
fluid to the rear clutch and the
release side of the front servo
through the servo orifice control
valve. This pressure applies the rear
clutch. Since the release area of the
front servo is larger than the apply
area, the front servo and therefore,
front band is released. This movement also results in an area of the
valve being no longer subjected to
control pressure and prevents regulation of the second to third valve
plunger by forcing the plunger to
the end of the valve bore. Therefore
reduced throttle pressure which was
acting on the small end of the valve
is exhausted at the downshift valve.
This change in forces causes the
third to second change to occur at a
lower governor pressure, and therefore road speed, than the second to
third change.
THIRD TO SECOND DUMP

VALVE

The valve allows a quick downchange from top to second gear to


take place when 2 or 1 is manually
selected.

The operation consists of bypassing the orifice restriction in the


rear clutch and front servo release
hydraulic line with a one way ball
valve. The ball is held in position on
the separator plate with a very light
spring.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS AND
POWER FLOW

"N" Neutrl (Refer Fig. 10).


With the engine running the
primary regufator valve regulates
control pressure which is directed
to the manual valve and throttle
valve and it also permits fluid to
reach the secondary regulator
valve.
The secondary regulator valve
regulates pressure to the converter and lubrication of the front
end ot the transmission. The same
pressure is directed to the rear end
ot the transmission.
The valve returns excess ftuid
to the oil pan through the pump
inlet. No power is transmitted
since the clutches and bands are
released.
First Gear with "D" selected.
Hydraulic Circuits
Pressure control of the pump
will be as with "N". However,
with the downshift valve cam in
the full throttle position, throttle
pressure regulated by the modulator valve plunger acts upon the
primary reglf'lator val\1! opposing
throttle pressure, thus modulating
control pressure for change quality.
The manual valve directs control pressure to the front clutch,
first to second valve and governor
feed. Control pressure reaches the
second to third valve to provide
for the subsequent second to third
change.
Power Flow.

The front clutch is applied connecting the converter turbine to


the forward sun gear. The oneway clutch operates so preventing
the pinion carrier from rotatina
anti-clockwise. The ring gear,
connected to the output shaft, is
rotated through the planets at an
overall ratio of 2.39 to 1. When
the car coasts the one way clutch
overruns and the gearset freewheels so that engine brakina is
not available.
Second Gear with "D" selected.
Hydraulic Circuits
Change control is provided by
the first to second valve movina

PART 7-1
against spring pressure under the
influence of governor pressvre.
This allows control pressure to
reach the apply side of the front
servo. The frcnt band thus applied together with the front clutch,
provides second gear.
With the downshift valve cam in
the forced throttle position, forced
throttle pressure acts upon the fint
to second and second to third
valves so further delaying upward
changes or providing a second to
first change at speeds when there
is little governor pressure.

Power Flow.
Again the front clutch is applied
connecting the converter turbine to
the forward sun gear.
The front band is contracted
which holds the rev~rse sun gear
stationary with the result that the
planet pinions "walk" around the
sun gear, causing the carrier to
revolve in the same direction as
the forward sun gear so that the
ring gear is driven faster than in
first gear. The gearset provides the
redflction of 1.45 to 1.
Top Gear with "D" selected
Hydraulic Circuits
Pressure control is similar to
second gear with "D" selected, except that with minimum throttle
no throttle pressure or modulated
throttle pressure acts upon the two
ends of the primary regulator valve.
Change control is provided by
the second to third valve moving
against spring pressure inftuence.
This allows line pressure to
reach the rear clutch direct, together with front servo release pres
sure directed through the servo
orifice control valve. When governor pressure is in evidence, the
servo orifice control valve closes,
forcing front servo release pressure through an orifice which thus
affects the relationship between
rear clutch apply and front servo
release in accordance with road
speed.
Since the release side of the
front servo has a larger area than
the apply side, the front servo dis~ngages the band. The rear clute~
now engaged, in conjunction with
the front clutch, provides third
gear. The absence of throttle pressure, as previously mentioned, ,will
cause the second to third valve to
move early under the governor
pressure inftuence, so providing a
low speed second to third change.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (Borg-Warner)


Power Flow.
Once more the front clutch is
applied, so oonnecting the converter turbine to the forward sun
gear. The rear clutch is applied,
connecting the converter turbine
to the reverse sun gear also. Relative movement of the various gears
in the gear train is impossible and
therefore the gear set revolves as
a unit, providing a ratio of 1 to 1.
"R" Reverse
Hydraulic Circuits.
Pressure control of the pump IS
similar to "P" or "N".
But, according to the amount
that the accelerator pedal is depressed, throttle pressure is directed
to the spring end of the primary
regulating valve, thus increasing
control pressure in relation to
torque capacity requirements.
The manual valve directs control pressure through the first to
second valve to the rear servo, and
control pressure through the second
to third valve to the rear clutch
and front servo release. Due to
absence of governor pressure, the
shift valves and servo orifice control valve do not operate in this
selector position.
Power Flow.
The rear clutch is applied so that
the converter turbine is connected
to the reverse sun gear, whilst the
rear band is applied, locking the
planet carrier stationary. The drive
is then transmitted to the ring gear
by the outer planets. The reverse
sun and ring gears rotate in opposite directions with a reduction
of 2.09 to 1.
"P" Park
With the engine running, the
operation of the hydraulic system
is identical to "N" except that the
manual valve directs control pressure to tt.e rear servo, although this
servo does not perform any function in "P"
No ,power is transmitted since
the clutches and bands are released. However an internal linkage from the manual valve detent
lever engages the parking pawl
with teeth on the output shaft ring
gear.
Kickdown to Second Gear 'D'
Selected (30-50 mph approximately).
With the accelerator depressed to
kickdown position, throttle pressure
is applied to the 2-3 valve and plunger at line 11. Throttle pressure and

7-7

spring pressure overcome the governor pressure on the end of the 2-3
shift valve and the valve moves to
second gear position.
The front servo release and the
rear clutch apply circuits are now
exhausted via line 7 at the manual
valve.
The transmission will now stay in
second gear until road speed drops
below 30 mph, when first gear will
be selected or governor pressure
overcomes throttle and spring pressures and moves the valve to third
gear position.
The power !low is the same as in
second gear 'D'.
Kickdown to Low in 'D' (below
30 mph approximately).
With the accelerator depressed to
kickdown position, the 2-3 shift
valve is forced to take up 2nd gear
position as described in preceding
paragraph.
Simultaneously, throttle pressure
is applied to the small end of the 1-2
shift valve via lines 11 and lOA.
Throttle pressure combined with
spring pressure will overcome governor pressure (under approximately
30 mph) and the valve will be forced
to take up first gear position. As a
result, the front servo apply circuit
will be exhausted at the 1-2 valve.
The vehicle is now in first gear and
will not change up until governor
pressure overcomes the throttle and
spring pressures and moves the valve
to second gear position.
Power flow is the same as in first
gear 'D'.

Governor pressure is fed to the
range control valve at line 2 where
it feeds line 22. Line 22, governor

of the 1-2 shift valve, where it is
opposed by control pressure from
line 6, throttle pressure from 10, and
spring pressure which holds the 1-2

governor pressure which is directed
to the large end ofthe 1-2 shift valve
holding it in the 2nd gear position.
When road speed drops below
approximately 30 mph, depending
on throttle opening, the control

FIG. 7 - Typical Selector Linkage


Control pressure from line 12 at
the manual valve is directed to the
end of the range control valve moving it against spring pressure to
block off governor pressure at line 2
and connect line 12 to line 22 and
so replacing governor pressure at
the 1-2 shift valve with control pressure. The 1-2 shift valve is now
moved against spring pressure and
throttle pressure to open a passage
for control pressure from line 5 to
enter the Front servo apply line (19).
At the same time, the rear servo
apply line has been exhausted. The
transmission is now in intermediate
ratio. There is no upshift to 3rd,
because there is no control pressure
being directed to the 2-3 shift valve
from the manual valve.
'D' - third gear - Control pressure in line 3 acts against control
pressure in line 12 at the range control valve. Because of equal areas and
equal pressures, there is no resultant
force on the valve and the spring is
able to push the valve across cutting
off the control pressure feed to line 22
and replacing it with governor pressure from line 2. The transmission is
now in normal drive range.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

When diagnosing transmission


problems, first refer to the diagnosis
guide for detailed information on the
items that could be causing the
problem. The following preliminary
checks should be made in the order
given:
1. Check the fluid level. Check the
fluid for a burnt clutch plate odor.
2. Check the engine idle speed.
3. Check the manual linkage adjustment.
4. Check the accelerator pedal
height and downshift linkage.
5. Check the throttle linkage to
assure wide open throttle operation.
6. Check the engine for proper
operation.

TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL CHECK
1. Make sure that the vehicle is
standing level. Then firmly apply the
parking brake.
2. Run the engine at normal idle
speed. If the transmission fluid is
cold, run the engine at fast idle speed
(about 1200 rpm) until the fluid
reaches its normal operating temperature. When the fluid is warm,
slow the engine down to normal idle
speed.
3. Shift the selector lever through
all positions, and place the lever at
P. Do not turn off the engine during
the fluid level checks.
4. Clean all dirt from the transmission fluid dipstick .cap before
removing the dipstick from the filler
tube.
5. Pull the dipstick out of the
tube, wipe it clean, and push it all
the way back into the tube.
6. Pull the dipstick out of the tube
again, and check the fluid level. If
necessary, add enough fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube
to raise the fluid level to the F (full)
mark on the dipstick.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE
TRANSMISSION.
Should it be necessary to check the
fluid level when the transmission is
cold, carry out the above procedure,
when the level should be on "Add"
mark, otherwise it will be too high at
normal operating temperature when
the fluid has expanded. Re-check the
level when the gearbox is at normal
running temperature.
A fluid level that is too high will
cause the fluid to become aerated.

Aerated fluid will cause low control


pressure, and the aerated fluid may
be forced out the vent.
Low fluid level can effect the operation of the transmission and may
indicate fluid leaks that could cause
transmission damage.
Incorrect transmission fluid level
can also have the following effects,
although they may be attributable to
other malfunctions:(a) No drive in "D", "1", "2" or
"R".
(b) Slip and squawk or judder on
full throttle starts in "D",
"1", "2" or "R".
(c) Overheating due to high fluid
level during sustained high
speeds.

TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEAKAGE CHECKS
Check the speedometer cable connection at the transmission. 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. If the filler tube 0-ring
seal is leaking, replace the seal.
The transmission fluid is water
cooled; check the fluid lines and fittings between the transmission and
the cooler in the radiator tank for
looseness, wear, or damage. If leakage cannot be stopped by tightening
a fitting, replace the defective parts.
Check the engine coolant in the
radiator. If transmission fluid is present in the coolant, the cooler in the
radiator tank is probably leaking.
The cooler can be further checked
for leaks by disconnecting the lines at
the cooler fittings and apply 5 psi air
pressure to the fittings. The radiator
cap must be removed when making
this check to relieve the pressure on
the exterior side of the cooler. If the
cooler is leaking and will not hold
this pressure, the radiator must be
replaced. The cooler cannot be
replaced separately.
If leakage is found at the manual
lever shaft, replace seals that are
leaking.
The pressure port plug on the left
rear of the case must also be inspected.
Fluid leakage from the converter housing may be caused by
engine oil leaking past the rear

main bearing or from oil gallery


plugs. Be sure to determine the
exact cause of the leak.
f'LUID LEAKAGE
CONVERTER AREA
In diagnosing and correcting fluid
leaks in the front pump and converter area, use the following procedures to facilitate locating the
exact cause of the leakage. Leakage
at the front of the transmission , as
evidenced by fluid around the converter housing, may have several
sources. By careful observation, it
is possible, in many instances, to
pinpoint the source of the leak before removing the transmission from
the car. The paths which the fluid
takes to reach the bottom of the
converter housing are shown in Fig.
1.

1. Fluid leaking by the front


pump seal lip will tend to move
along the drive hub and onto the
back of the impeller housing. Except in the case of a total seal failure, fluid leakage by the lip of the
seal will be deposited on the inside
of the c0nverter housing only, near
the outside diameter of the housing.
2. Fluid leakage by the outside
diameter of the seal and front pump
body will follow the same path as
leaks by the front pump seal or may
run down the face of the front pump.
3. Fluid that leaks by front
pump to case bolts will be deposited
on the inside of the converter housing only. Fluid will not be deposited
on the back of the converter.
4. Leakage by the front pump to
case and 0-ring seal may cause
fluid to be deposited on the inside
lower part of the converter housing
as shown in Fig. l.
Engine oil leaks are sometimes
improperly diagnosed as front pump
seal leaks. The following areas of
possible leakage should also be
checked to determine if engine oil
leakage is causing the problem:

(a) Leakage at the rocker arm


cover (valley cover) may allow oil
to flow over the converter housing
or seep down between the converter housing and cylinder block
causing oil to be present in or at
the bottom of the converter housing .
(b) Oil gallery plug leaks will allow oil to flow down the rear face
of the block to the bottom of the
converter housing.

GROUP 7-

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ranges to increase pressures within
the transmission. Observe the front
oi the flywheel. back of the block
(in as far as possible), and inside
the converter housing (Fig. I). Run
the engine until fluid leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK


Check and, if necessary, adjust the
engine idle speed, using the procedure given in Group 10.
If the idle speed is too low, the
engine will run roughly. An idle
speed that is too high will cause the
car to creep excessively when the
transmission is shifted into gear and
will cause rough transmission engagement.
MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS
C'..<mect manual linkage adjustment is necessary to position the
manual valve for proper fluid pressure direction to the different transmission components. Improperly adjusted manual linkage may cause
cross-linkage and subsequent transmission failure. Refer to Linkage
Adjustments for detailed manual
linkage adjustment procedures.
DOWNSHIFT CABLE CHECKS
Correct downshift cable adjustment is essential for normal
service life of transmission and
proper gear shift feel and control. Refer to the In Car Adjustments Section 3 Page 7-20 for the
detailed adjustment procedures.

CONVUTEJ

CONVUTEJ DltAIN
I'I.UG l.fAK

FIG. 11 - Typical Converter Area Leakage Checks


(c) Leakage by the crankshaft seal
will work back to the flywheel, and
then into the converter housing.
Fluid leakage from other areas,
forward .of the transmission could
cause fluid to be present around the
converter housing due to blow-back
or road draft.
The following procedure should be
used to determ ine the cause of leakage before any repairs are made:
(a) Remove the transmission dipstick and note the color of the fluid .
Original factory fill fluid is dyed red
to aid in determining if leakage is
from the engine or transmission.
Since road draft may cause leaking
valley cover oil to be present on the
transmission, this leakage, if present,
should be eliminated before performing work on the transmission.
(b) Remove the converter lower
housing cover. Clean off any fluid

from the top and bottom of the converter housing, front of the transmission case, and rear face of the
engine and engine oil pan. Clean
the converter area by washing with
suitable non-flammable solvent, and
blow dry with compressed air.
(c) Wash out the converter housing, the front of the flywheel. The
converter housing may be washed
out using cleaning solvent and a
squirt-type oil can. Blow all washed
areas dry with compressed air.
(d) Start and run the engine until
the transmission reaches its normal
operating temperature. Observe the
back of the block and top of the
converter housing for evidence of
fluid leakage. Raise the car on a
hoist and run the engine at fast idle,
then at engine idle, occasionally
shifting to the drive and reverse

INITIAL ENGAGEMENT
CHECKS
Initial engagement checks are made
to determine if initial band and clutch
engagements are smooth.
Run the engine until its normal
operating temperature is reached.
With the engine at the correct idle
speed, shift the selector lever from
N to D, 2, 1 and R. Observe the
initial band and clutch engagements.
Band and clutch engagements should
be smooth in all positions. Rough
initial engagements in D, 2, 1 or R
are caused by high engine idle speed
or high control pressures.
TRANSMISSION OPERATION
CHECKS
TEST PREPARATION
1. Attach a tachometer to the
engine.
2. Attach a pressure gauge to the
control pressure outlet at the transmission (Fig. 12).

PART 7-1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (Borg-Warner}


3. Firmly apply the parking brake
and start the engine.
4. With the engine at normal
operating temperature, adjust the
engine idle speed to the specified
rpm. If the engine idle speed cannot
be brought within limits by adjustment at the carburettor idle adjustment screw, check the throttle and
downshift linkage for a binding condition. If the linkage is satisfactory,
check for vacuum leaks into the
engine.

If the engine speed recorded by the


tachometer exceeds the maximum
limits specified in Table 1, release the
accelerator immediately because
clutch or band slippage is indicated.

CONTROL PRESSURE TESTS

STALL SPEED TOO HIGH

The test results of the following


checks should agree with the specifications given in Table 1. When performing control pressure tests, make
certain that the service brake pedal is
held in the applied position.
It is important that both the
engine and transmission are at their
normal operating temperature.

A higher stall speed than that


specified indicates that the convertor
is not receiving its required fluid
supply or that slip is occurring, depending on transmission selector
lever position. Excessive engine rpm
only in D, 2 or 1, indicates forward
clutch slippage. Excessive engine
rpm only in R indicates either
reverse-high clutch or low-reverse
band slippage. Excessive engine rpm
only in D indicates gear train oneway clutch slippage.

TEST No. 1
CONTROL PRESSURE CHECK
AT ENGINE IDLE

Start the engine and allow it and


the transmission to reach their normal operating temperatures. At the
correct engine idle speed, check the
transmission control pressure gauge
at all selector lever positions. The
pressure: <>hould agree with the specifications shown in Table 1.
IDLE PRESSURE TOO LOW

Check the downshift cable adjustment and revise as necessary.


Low pressure may also be due to
excessive leakage in the oil pump,
case and control valve body, or a
sticking control pressure regulator
valve.

clutch. While making this test,


do no hold the throttle open for
more than five seconds at a time.
Then move the selector lever to
Neutral and run engine at 1000 rpm
for about 15 seconds to cool the converter before making the next test.

STALL SPEED TOO LOW

When the stall test speeds are low


and the engine is properly tuned,
converter stator clutch problems are
indicated. A road test must be performed to determine the exact cause
of the trouble.
If the stall test speeds are 300 to
400 rpm below the specifications
shown in Table 1, and the car cruises
properly but has very poor acceleration, the converter stator clutch is
slipping.

If the stall test speeds are 300 to


400 rpm below the specified values,
and the car drags at cruising speeds
and acceleration is poor, the stator
clutch could be installed backwards.
Remove the converter and check
the stator clutch by replacing with
a converter known to be operating
correctly and retesting.
Below standard acceleration in top
gear above 30 mph combined with a
substantially reduced maximum
speed, indicates that the stator oneway clutch has locke;d in the engaged
condition. This condition will also be
indicated by the transmission overheating, although the stall speed will
remain as specified. Renew the converter.
Note - The torque converter is a
sealed unit without a drain plug. The
unit must not be dismantled. If a
converter is unsatisfactory in any
way then it must be replaced.

should be at their normal operating
temperature. Accelerate the vehicle
with full throttle. During acceleration the control pressure should be
suddenly reduced by modulator valve
operation to the specification shown
in Part 7-4.
CONTROL PRESSURE AFTER CUT
BACK TOO LOW

Low pressure may be caused by


incorrect downshift cable adjustment
or faulty regulator valve operation.

IDLE PRESSURE TOO HIGH

Check the downshift cable adjustment for excessive pullout, sticking


or non-return of the downshift cam
through incorrect assembly of the
cam spring.
High pressure may also be caused
by sticking regulator valves.
TEST No. 2 -

STALL TEST

Start the engine to allow it to reach


its normal temperature. Apply both
the parking and service brakes while
making tests.
The stall test is made in D, 2,
1 or R at full throttle to check
engine performance, converter clutch
operation or installation and the
holding ability of the forward clutch,
reverse-high clutch and low-reverse
band and the gear train one-way

CONTROL PRESSURE AFTER CUT
BACK TOO HIGH
High control pressure may be
caused by incorrect downshift cable
adjustments, faulty governor, modulator valve or regulator valve operation.
SHIFT POINT CHECKS
Check the light throttle upshifts in
D. The transmission should start in
first gear, shift to second, and then
shift to third within the shift points
specified in the specifications section
(Part 7-4).
While the transmission is in third
gear, depress the accelerator pedal
through the K.D. detent (to the
floor). The transmission should shift
from third to second or third to first,
depending on the car speed.
Check the closed throttle downshift from third to first by coasting
down from about 30 mph in third
gear. The shift should occur within
the limits specified in the specifications section.
With the transmission in third
gear and road speed over 30 mph, the
transmission should shift to second
gear when the selector lever is moved
from D to 2 or 1. The transmission
will downshift from second or third
to first gear when 1 is selected
below approximately 20 mph. This
check will determine if the governor pressure and shift control
valves are functioning properly.
During the shift check operation,
if the transmission does not shift
within specifications or certain gear
ranges cannot be obtained, refer to
the Diagnosis Guide to resolve the
problem.
ROAD TEST PROCEDURES
Test 1. Check that the starter only
operates with the selector in
"P" and "N" and that if a
reversing light is fitted it only
operates in "R".
Test 2. Apply the brakes and, with
the engine idling, select N-D,
N-1, N-2, N-R. Transmission
engagement should be felt in

each position selected.


Test 3. Check converter stall speed
with the transmission in "1"
after connecting a tachometer
to the engine and applying the
hand-brake. Allow the engine
and transmission to reach normal operating temperature and
then momentarily depress to
the kick-down position, noting
the tachometer reading. Do not
stall for more than ten seconds,
otherwise the transmission will
overheat. Check for slip or
clutch squawks. (Refer Table 1).
Test 4. With the transmission at
normal operating temperature,
select "D", release the brakes
and accelerate with minimum
throttle opening checking for
first to second and second to
third changes. At minimum
throttle openings the changes
may be difficult to detect.
Confirmation that the transmission is in third gear mar,
be obtained by selecting "2 '
when a third to second change
should be felt.
Test 5. (a) At 30 m.p.h. in third
gear, depress the accelerator to
the "kick-down" position where
the transmission should change
to second.
(b) At 15 m.p.h. in third gear,
depress the accelerator to full
throttle position. The transmission should change to first
gear.
Test 6. (a) Stop the car and re-start
using full throttle acceleration.
Check the change speeds for
first to seconel and second to
third: refer shift speed chart in
the specification section.
(b) At 40 mph in third gear,
release the accelerator and
select "1". Check for third to
second change and engine braking. Check that the second to
first change occurs below 20
p1ph and for engine braking.
Test 7. Stop the car with "1" still
engaged, release the brakes and,
using full throttle accelerate to

20 mph. Check for slip and


clutch squawk, and no upward
changes.
Test 8. Stop and select "R". Release
the. brakes and reverse using
full throttle if possible. Check
for slip or clutch squawk.
Test 9. Stop the car facing downhill
with the brakes and select "P".
Release the brakes and check
that the parking pawl holds the
car. Re-apply the brakes before
disengaging the parking pawl.
Repeat with the car facing uphill.
AIR PRESSURE CHECKS
A NO DRIVE condition can exist,
even with correct transmission fluid
pressure, because of inoperative
clutches, bands. The inoperative
units can be located through a series
of checks by substituting air pressure
for the fluid pressure to determine
the location of the malfunction.
When the selector lever is at D, 2,
or 1, a NO DRIVE condition may
be caused by an inoperative forward
clutch. A NO DRIVE condition at D
may be caused by an inoperative
forward clutch or one-way clutch.
When there is no drive in "1", the
difficulty could be caused by improper functioning of the forward
clutch and the one-way clutch. The
low-reverse band cannot be checked
in "1". If the low-reverse band or
clutch fails, the one-way clutch will
hold the gear train and operation will
be normal except that there will be
no engine braking. Failure to drive
in reverse range could be caused by a
malfunction ofthe reverse-high clutch
or low-reverse band. If the transmission fails to drive in reverse range
but operates normally in D, 1 or 2, it
indicates failure of the low and
reverse band.
To make the air pressure checks,
drain the transmission fluid, and then
remove the oil pan and the control
valve body assembly. The inoperative
units can be located by introducing
air pressure into the transmission
case passages leading to the clutches,
servos, and governor.

GROUP 7- AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


If the servos do not operate, disassemble, clean and inspect them to
locate source of the trouble.
If the air pressure applied to any
clutch passage fails to operate the
clutch or operates more than one
clutch at once, remove, and with
air pressure, check fluid passages
in the case, pump output and
primary shaft to detect cross leakage
or obstruction. If the passages are
intact and clear, remove the clutch
assemblies and clean and inspect
the malfunctioning clutch to locate
the trouble.

FORWARD CLUTCH (Front)

Apply air pressure to the transmission case forward clutch passage


(Fig. 15). A dull thud can be heard
when the clutch piston is applied. If
no noise is heard, place the finger tips
on the clutch and again apply air
pressure to the forward clutch passage. Movement of the piston can
be felt as the clutch is applied.
Caution: Forward and governor
passages are common, therefore if
there is excess air leakage from
governor, clutch operation may not
be audible.
GOVERNOR

Apply air pressure, to the control


pressure to governor passage and
listen for a sharp clicking or whistling
noise. The noise indicates governor
valve movement.
REVERSE-HIGH CLUTCH (Rear)

Apply air pressure to the reversehigh clutch passage (Fig. 15). A dull
thud indicates that the reverse-high
clutch piston has moved to the applied position. If no noise is heard,
place the finger tips on the clutch
drum and again apply air pressure to
detect movement of the piston.
INTERMEDIATE SERVO (Front)

Hold the air nozzle in the intermediate servo apply passage (Fig.
15). Operation of the servo is indicated by a tightening of the intermediate band around the drum.

EJ

FIG. 15 Checks

Air Pressure

Continue to apply air pres!>ure into


the intermediate servo apply passage, and introduce air pressure
into the intermediate servo release
passage. The intermediate servo
should release the band against the
appJy pressure.
LOW-REVERSE SERVO (Rear)

Apply air to the low reverse servo


apply passage (Fig. 15). The low reverse band should tighten around the
drum if the servo is operating properly. CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY AIR PRESSURE TO THE
SERVO UNLESS IT IS AS ASSEMBLED TO mE TRANSMISSION OR mE SERVO MAY
BE DAMAGED.

DIAGNOSIS GUIDE (Table 2)

The Transmission Diagnosis


Guide lists the most common trouble symptoms that may be found in
the transmission, and gives the items
that should be checked to find the
cause of the trouble.
The items to check for each
trouble symptom are arranged in a
logical sequence which should be
followed for quickest results. The
letter symbols for each item are ex
plained in the Key to the Diagnosis
Guide.
If items A, B, C, D, E, and the
stall test have already been checked
during the preliminary checks and
adjustments, they need not be repeated when following the Diagnosis
Guide.

IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIR

PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING


FLUID LEVELS

Refer to Part 7-1, Section 2.


It is unnecessary to drain the converter and transmission as a normal
service item.
The transmission is air and water
cooled and therefore keep the underside free from mud, etc. otherwise
overheating may result.
PRELIMINARY ADJUSTMENTS
FLUID LEVEL

Incorrect transmission fluid level


can have the following effects, although they may be attributable to
other malfunctions:(a) No drive in "D", "1", "2"
or "R".
(b) Slip and squawk or judder
on full throttle starts in
"D", "1 ", "2" or "R".

(c) Overheating due to high


fluid level during sustained
high speeds.
ACCELERATOR LINKAGE AND
DOWN SHIFT VALVE CONTROL
CABLE

If the accelerator linkage is incorrectly adjusted preventing full


movement of the accelerator pedal,
the carburettor butterfly will not
open fully resulting in poor engine
performance and insufficient control
pressure in relation to accelerator
pedal movement.
It is therefore essential to ensure
that the throttle butterfly fully opens
as the accelerator linkage is also conneated to the automatic transmission
down shift valve by a cable, it is
essential for the linkage and cable to
be correctly adjusted, otherwise the

automatic transmission will not operate satisfactorily and premature failure may result.
Incorrect adjustment of the downshift valve control cable can have the
following results:(a) Excessive bump when "D"
or "R" is engaged.
(b) No drive in "D".
(c) Delayed or no first to
second change.
(d) Slip on first to second
change.
(e) Delayed or no second to
third change.
(f) Slip or engine "run-up" on
second to third change.
(g) Bumpy gear changes.
(h) Slip and squawk or judder
on full throttle starts in
"D".

PART 7-1
(i) Gearbox changes down too
easily.
(j) Gearbox will not change
down.
(k) Slip and squawk or judder
on starting in "1 " or "2" .
(I) Slip and squawk or judder
on starting in "R".
(m) Slip but no judder on starting in " R".
(n) No drive in "R" .
The following method of linkage
adjustment is used for the setting of
the downshift valve cable.
1. Ensure engine and transmission
are at normal operating temperatures,
the carburettor choke is fully open
and carburettor correctly adjusted.
2. Adjust the rod " F", Fig. 17,
to give the correct pedal height.
Correct pedal height is 3. 65" to 4 .16"
measured between floor pan (mat in
position) at right angle to pan and a
point on the upper surface of the
pedal pad 2.24" from the lower edge.
Refer Fig. 17.
3. Disconnect the downshift inner
cable trunnion "A" (Fig. 17) from
the bell crank assembly with the bell
crank assembly set at idle. Adjust
trunnion "A" into hole "B" so that
the crimped stop on the kickdown
inner cable just touches to -h off the
outer cable without slack. Install the
clip.
NOTE: For safety sake transmission selection should
be in park position.
4. Check that at full throttle the
cable pull is 1. 75 inches minimum.
This dimension is the measured distance that the ferrule on the inner

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (Borg-Warner)

that the choke is fully open.


2. Note that the position of the
downshift valve cam when the
throttle butterfly is closed, i.e., the
accelerator pedal is released. The
heel of the downshift valve cam
should lay against the large diameter
of the downshift valve, see "idling
position" Fig. 18, with all slack in
the inner cable taken up.
3. With the throttle butterfly fully
open, i.e., the accelerator pedal
pressed down fully in the kick-down
position, the constant radius lobe of
the cam should be in contact with the
downshift valve, as seen in "kickdown position", Fig. 18. The position of the cam can be varied by
altering the adjuster on the downshift valve cable.
4. Fit the sump "nipping" all the
sump bolts. Then, in one operation,
tighten each bolt to 10 ft. lbs.
5. Road test the vehicle to check
the shift speeds (see table), and
quality of change.
6. Crimp ferrule to inner cable so
that it is .010" off the outer cable end.
TABLE OF SHIFT SPEEDS
The speeds mentioned below are
to the nearest mph.

Fluid Dipstick- Typical
cable moves away from the end of
outer cover adjuster.
Service downshift cables differ
from original production installation
in that they are supplied with the
ferrule free to move and therefore
the following methods of adjustment
can be used with either type of cable.
Alternate Method
The downshift cable can also be
adjusted by determining the position
of the downshift valve cam in relation
to the accelerator pedal. This method
can be used when a new downshift
valve cable is being fitted and the
transmission sump is removed. The
method of adjustment is as follows:
1. Remove all the free play from
the accelerator linkage and ensure

(g) No parking pawl engagement.
(h) Front clutch burning out.
It should be noted that incorrect
manual linkage adjustment is not the
only cause of the above conditions.
MANUAL LINKAGE
ADJUSTMENT

1. Position transmission selector


lever in neutral, to ensure correct
engagement it may be necessary to
loosen clamp nut on steering column
or floor shift lever to selector rod and
move shift lever on transmission to

2. With the transmission selector


and the steering column or floor shift
selector lever still in "Neutral" position, tighten the selector rod clamp
nut.
3. With test lamp check that when
gear selection is made with the steering column or floor shift selector
lever the lamp will only light in
"Neutral" and "Park" positions. If
the test lamp does not light up in
these positions or lights up in all
selector positions it will be necessary
to readjust linkage or replace switch.
SLOW-RUNNING ADJUSTMENT

To obtain the best slow-running


adjustment, the engine should be
tuned against a vacuum gauge connected to the inlet manifold. This
connection can be made by removing
the blanking plug in the inlet manifold and fitting the appropriate
adaptor and gauge.
Before commencing adjustment,
check the air cleaner to ensure that
the element is clean and in a serviceable condition.
Run the engine, so allowing it to
warm up. To adjust the slow-running, screw in the slow-running adjustment screw (see Fig. 19) until a
fast idling speed is obtained, then
turn the volume control screw,
Fig. 19, either clockwise or anticlockwise to obtain the maximum
vacuum reading. Readjust the idling
speed as necessary and continue the
adjustment until the maximum possible vacuum reading is obtained with
a reasonable slow-running speed. It

may be necessary to adjust the


ignition setting.
When a suitable vacuum gauge is
not available, the engine should be
warmed up and the slow-running
adjustment screw turned clockwise
so that the engine is running at a
fast idling speed. Screw the volume
control screw in or out until the
engine runs evenly. Readjust the
slow-running adjustment screw if the
engine is running too fast, followed
by a further readjustment of the
volume control screw.
These operations should be repeated until the idling speed is
satisfactory and, if necessary, followed by a re-adjustment to the
ignition setting.
FRONT BRAKE BAND

The front brake band is used


in second to hold the reverse sun
gear stationary and therefore provides the second gear ratio. Incorrect front brake band adjustment
has the following effects:(a) Slip on first to second
change.
(b) No first to second change.
(c) Delayed or no second to
third change.
(d) Slip on third to second
"kick-down" change.
Remove the fifteen bolts and
lockwashers securing the transmission oil pan and detach the oil pan
and gasket. Slacken the adjusting
screw locknut, move the servo lever
outwards and place a 0.25 in. gauge
between the servo piston pin and
the adjusting screw (see Fig. 20).
Tighten the adjusting screw to a
torque of 10 in. lbs., tighten the
locknut and then remove the gauge
block. Ensure that the mating
faces are clean and refit the oil
pan with a new gasket. Tighten
the fifteen bolts in their lock
washers to a torque of 8 to 10
ft. lbs.
REAR BRAKE BAND

The rear brake band is employed

STARTER INHIBITOR SWITCH


This particular component is a
safety device to ensure that the
engine will only start in "Park" or
"Neutral" selector positions. If the
engine will not start in the "P" or
"N" selector positions, or the starter
motor operates in all selector positions, then the starter inhibitor
switch may require replacement.
Check the manual linkage adjustment and wiring connections and
loom for faults.
If correction is not obtained the
switch must be replaced.

TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN


AND REFILL
Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate
periodic automatic transmission fluid
changes.
If a major failure, such as a clutch,
band, bearing, etc., has occurred
within the transmission, it will have
to be removed for service. At this
time the converter must be thoroughly flushed to remove all dirt.
When filling a dry transmissioQ
and converter, install 6 quarts of
fluid. Start the engine, shift the selector lever as in Step 5 below, and
check and add fluid as necessary.
Following is the procedure for
partial drain and refill due to minor
repairs.

1. Place a drain pan under the


transmission. Loosen and remove

the drain plug and drain the fluid.


Remove and thoroughly clean the
oil pan and screen. Discard the oil
pan gasket.
l. Place a new gasket on the oil
pan, and install the screen and pan
oc the transmission.
3. Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
4. Run the engine at idle speed for
about two minutes. Check the fluid
level, and add fluid if necessary. Run
the engine at fast idle speed (about
1200 rpm) until it reaches its normal operating temperature. Do not
race the encine.
5. Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. If necessary,
add enough fluid to the transmission
to raise the level to the F (Full)
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill
the transmission.

OIL COOLER FLUSHING


PROCEDURE
When a clutch or band failure or
other internal trouble has occurred
in the transmission, any metal particles or clutch plate or band material that may have been carried into
the cooler should be removed from
the system by flushing the cooler
and lines before the transmission is
put back into service. In no case
should an automatic transmission
having a clutch or band failure or
other internal trouble resulting in
fluid contamination, be put back into
service without first flushing the
transmis~ion oil cooler.
1. After installing a new or rebuilt automatic transmission and

converter assembly in the car, Do


Not Connect the Cooler Return Une
to the Transmission. Place the transmission selector lever in the P
(park) position and connect the
cooler inlet (converter out) line to
the transmission. Place a pan under
the end of the cooler return line that
will hold transmission fluid. Do Not
Start the Engine.
2. Install 8 quarts of automatic
transmission fluid meeting Ford
Specification.
3. Start the engine and allow it
to run at normal idle speed with
the selector lever in P, park position.
4. Allow
approximately
two
quarts of transmission fluid to drain
into the pan placed under the end
of the cooler return line.
S. If the fluid does not run clean
after draining two quarts of it
through the cooler, shut off the engine and add two additional quarts
of transmission fluid.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 4 until
the transmission fluid flowing out
of the cooler return line is clean.
7. If there is no fluid flow or the
fluid does not flow freely, shut off
the engine and disconnect both
cooler lines from the transmission
and cooler.
8. Use an air hose with not more
than I 00 psi air pressure to reverse
flush the cooler lines and the cooler.
After reverse flushing, connect both
lines at the cooler and the cooler
inlet line (converter out) to the
transmission.
9. Start the engine and check
the fluid flow . If the transmission

7-24

GROUP 7- AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

fluid flows freely, proceed with steps


3 through 5 If there is no fluid flow,
check for pinched cooler lines. If
the flow is restricted, replace cooler
lines and/or the radiator.
10. Shut off the engine, and connect the cooler return line to the
transmission. Check the transmission
fluid level as indicated under heading Transmission Fluid Level Check.
Refer to Part 7- 1, Page 7-11.
Add or remove transmission fluid as
required until the proper fluid level
is obtained on the dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL THE TRANSMISSION.
11. Do not attempt to correct
cooler or cooler line leaks by closing
off the lines.
OIL COOLER TUBE
REPLACEMENT

When fluid leakage is found at


the oil cooler, the entire radiator
must be replaced. The oil cooler
cannot be removed from the radla
tor for replacement.
When one or more of the fluid
cooler steel tubes must be replaced,
each replacement tube must be fabricated 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 the
tube.

Mter the fittings have been


tightened, add fluid as needed and
check for fluid leaks. (Replacement
tubing must be new and clean).

C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


When diagnosing transmission
problems, first refer to the diagnosis
guide for detailed information on
the items that could be causing the
problem. The following preliminary
checks should be made in the order
given:
1. Check the fluid level. Check
the fluid for a burnt clutch plate
odor.
1. Check the engine idle speed
and dashpot adjustments.
3. Check the manual linkage
adjustment.
4. Check the accelerator pedal
height and downshift linkage.
S. Check the throttle linkage to
assure wide open throttle operation.
6. Check the engine for proper
operation.

FLUID AERATION CHECK


A fluid level that is too high will
cause the fluid to become aerated.
Aerated fluid will cause low control
pressure, and the aerated fluid may
be forced out the vent.
Check the transmission fluid level.
Low fluid level can affect the operation of the transmission, and may
indicate fluid leaks that could cause
transmission damage.

TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL CHECK
1. Make sure that the vehicle is
standing level. Then firmly apply
the parking brake.
2. Run the engine at normal idle
speed. If the transmission fluid is
cold, run the engine at fast idle
speed (about 1200 rpm) until the
ftuid reaches its normal operating
temperature. When the ftuid is
warm, slow the engine down to
normal idle speed.
3. Shift the selector lever through
all positions, and place the lever at
P. Do not turn off the engine during
the fluid level checks.
4. Clean all dirt from the transmission fluid dipstick cap before
removing the dipstick from the
filler tube.
S. Pull the dipstick out of the
tube, wipe it clean, and push it all
the way back into the tube.

TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEAKAGE CHECKS
Check the speedometer cable connection at the transmission. 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. If the filler tube
0-ring seal is leaking, replace the
seal.
The transmission fluid is water
cooled; check the fluid lines and fittings between the transmission and
the cooler in the radiator tank for
looseness, wear, or damage. If leakage cannot be stopped by tightening
a fitting, replace the defective parts.
Check the engine coolant in the
radiator. If transmission ftuid is
present in the coolant, the cooler
in the radiator tank is probably
leaking.

6. Pull the dipstick out of the


tube again, and check the fluid level.
If necessary, add enough fluid to
the transmission through the filler
tube to raise the fluid level to the
F (full) mark on the dipstick. Do
not overfill the traasmission.

The cooler can be further checked


for leaks by disconnecting the lines
at the cooler fittings and applying
5 psi air pressure to the fittings. The
radiator cap must be removed when
making this check to relieve the
pres~re on the exterior side of the
cooler. If the cooler is leaking and
will not hold this pressure, the
radiator must be replaced. The
cooler cannot be replaced separately.
If leakage is found at either the
throttle lever shaft or the manual
lever shaft, replace either or both
seals.
Inspect the pipe plug in the case.
If the plug shows leakage, torque
the plug to specification. If tightening does not stop the leaks, replace
the plug.
When converter drain plugs leak,
remove the two drain plugs with a
six-point wrench. Coat the threads
with a sealing compound, and install the plugs. Torque the drain
plugs to specification. Fluid leakage
from the converter housing may be
caused by engine oil leaking past
the rear main bearing or from oil
gallery plugs. Be sure to determine
the exact cause of the leak.
Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent
dyes premixed at the ratio of l
teaspoon of dye powder to t pint
of transmission fluid have proved
helpful in locating the source of
the 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, however,
must be used with the fluorescent
dye solution.

7-38

GROUP 7-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

FLUID LEAKAGE
CONVERTER AREA
In diagnosing and correcting fluid
leaks in the front pump and converter area, use the following procedures to facilitate locating the
exact cause of the leakage. Leakage
at the front of the transmission, as
evidenced by fluid around the converter housing, may have several
sources. By careful observation, it
is possible, in many instances, to
pinpoint the source of the leak
before removing the transmission
from the car. The paths which the
fluid takes to reach the bottom of
the converter housing are shown in
Fig. I.
1. Fluid leaking by the front
pump seal lip will tend to move

along the drive hub and onto the


back of the impeller housing. Except
in the case of a total seal failure,
fluid leakage by the lip of the seal
will be deposited on the inside of
the converter housing only, near
the outside diameter of the housing.
2. Fluid leakage by the outside
diameter of the seal and front pump
body will follow the same path as
leaks by the front pump seal or may
run down the face of the front
pump.
3. Fluid that leaks by a front
pump and converter housing to case
bolts will be deposited on the inside
of the converter housing only. Fluid
will not be deposited on the back
of the converter.
4. Leakage by the front pump to

case and 0-ring seal may cause


fluid to be deposited on the outside
lower part of the converter housing
as shown in Fig. I.
5. Fluid leakage from the converter drain plugs will appear at the
outside diameter of the converter.
Engine oil leaks are sometimes
improperly diagnosed as front pump
seal leaks. The following areas of
possible leakage should also be
checked to determine if engine oil
leakage is causing the problem :
(a) Leakage at the rocker arm
cover (valley cover) may allow oil
to flow over the converter housing
or seep down between the converter
housing and cylinder block causing
oil to be present in or at the bottom
of the converter housing.
(b) Oil gallery plug leaks will allow oil to flow down the rear face
of the block to the bottom of the
converter housing.
(c) Leakage by the crankshaft
seal will work back to the flywheel,
and then into the converter housing.
Fluid leakage from other areas,
forward of the transmission could
cause fluid to be present around the
converter housing due to blow-back
or road draft.
The following procedure should
be used to determine the cause of
leakage before any repairs are made :
(a) Remove the transmission dipstick and note the color of the fluid.
Original factory fill fluid is dyed red
to aid in determining if leakage is
from the engine or transmission.
Unless a considerable amount of
make-up fluid has been added or
the fluid has been changed, the red
color should assist in pinpointing
the leak.
Since road draft may cause leaking valley cover oil to be present on
the transmission, this leakage, if
present, should be eliminated before
performing work on the transmission.
(b) Remove the converter lower
housing cover. Clean off any fluid
from the top and bottom of the
converter housing, front of the
transmission case, and rear face of
the engine and engine oil pan. Clean
the converter area by washing with
suitable non-flammable solvent, and
blow dry with compressed air.
(c) Wash out the converter housing, the front of the flywheel, and
the converter drain plugs. The converter housing may be washed out
using cleaning solvent and a squirttype oil can. Blow all washed areas
dry with compressed air.

(d) Start and run the engine until
the transmission reaches its normal
operating temperature. Observe the
back of the block and top of the
converter housing for evidence of
fluid leakage. Raise the car on a
hoist and run the engine at fast idle,
then at engine idle, occasionally
shifting to the drive and reverse
ranges to increase pressures within
the transmission. Observe the front
of the flywheel, back of the block
(in as far as possible), and inside
the converter housing (Fig. 1). Run
the engine until fluid leakage is
evident and the probable source of
leakage can be determined.
CONVERTER LEAKAGE
CllECK
During the above fluid leakage
checks, if there are indications that
the welds on the torque converter
are leaking, the converter will have
to be removed and the following
check made before the unit is
replaced:
A leak checking tool (Fig. 2),
can be made from standard parts.
1. Install the plug in the converter (Fig. 3) and expand it by
tightening the wing nut. Attach the
safety chains.
2. Install the air valve in one of
the drain plug holes.
3. Introduce air pressure into the
converter housing. Check the pressure with a tyre gauge and adjust
it to 20 psi.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS


Correct manual linkage adjustment is necessary to position the
manual valve for proper fluid pressure direction to the different transmission components. Improperly
adjusted manual linkage may cause
cross-leakage and subsequent transmission failure. Refer to Linkage
Adjustments for detailed manual
linkage adjustment procedures.

~Tire

Pressure Gouge

FIG. 3 - Typical Converter Leak


Checking Tool
4. Place the converter in a tank
of water. Observe the weld areas
for bubbles. If no bubbles are
observed, it may be assumed that
the welds are not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK


Check and, if necessary, adjust
the engine idle speed, using the
procedure given in Group 10.
If the idle speed is too low, the
engine will run roughly. An idle
speed that is too high will cause
the car to creep when the transmission is shifted into gear and will
cause rough transmission engagement.

CONTROL PRESSURE AND


VACUUM DIAPHRAGM
UNIT CHECK
When the vacuum diaphragm unit
(Fig. 4) is operating properly and
the downshift linkage is adjusted
properly, all the transmission shifts
(automatic and kickdown) should
occur within the road speed limits
specified in the Specification Section.
If the automatic shifts do not
occur within limits or the transmission slips during shift points, the
following procedure is suggested to
separate engine, transmission, linkage, and diaphragm unit or valve
body problems :
1. Attach a tachometer to the
engine and a vacuum gauge to the
transmission vacuum line at the
vacuum unit (Fig. 6).
2. Attach a pressure gauge to the
control pressure outlet at the transmission (Fig. 5).
3. Firmly apply the parking brake
and start the engine.

7-40

GROUP 7-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


If the vacuum reading is lower than
18 inches, an engine problem is
indicated or there is leakage in the
vacuum line. Make necessary repairs to obtain a minimum vacuum
reading of 18 inches.

FIG. 5 - Control Pressure


Connecting Points.
4. Adjust the engine idle speed to
the specified rpm. If the engine idle
speed cannot be brought within
limits by adjustment at the carburettor idle adjustment screw,
check the throttle and downshift
linkage for a binding condition. If
the linkage is satisfactory, check for
vacuum leaks in the transmission
diaphragm unit (Fig. 7), and its
connecting tubes and hoses. Check
all other vacuum operated units for
vacuum leaks.

FIG. 7 - Testing Transmission


Vacuum Unit for Leakage
Then connect the vacuum hose to
the transmission vacuum unit. If
the gauge still reads \8 inches, the
vacuum unit diaphragm is not
leaking. As the hose is removed
from the transmission vacuum unit,
hold a finger over the end of the
control rod. When the hose is removed, the internal spring of the
vacuum unit should push the
control rod outward.

CONTROL PRESSURE TESTS


The test results of the following
checks should agree with the specifications given in Table I. When
performing control pressure tests,

should be checked in all ranges except Park and Neutral. Shift the
transmission into D, 2, and R, and
check control pressure increase in
each range. With the correct control ptessure at engine idle, advance
the throttle until the engine vacuum
reading is approximately 17.0
inches. As the vacuum gauge reading decreases into these specifications, the control pressure should
start to increase.
Control pressure increase may be
noted immediately when the throttle
is opened due to the increased pump
output, resulting from increased
engine rpm. When this happens, the
pressure increase point can be
checked by using a distributor
vacuum tester. Install the distributor tester vacuum line on the
diaphragm assembly. Adjust the
tester to provide over 18 inches of
vacuum. Increase the engine to 600700 rpm. Adjust the tester vacuum
reading to approximately 17.0 inches and observe the transmission
pressure gauge for the pressure
increase.
TEST NUMBER 3CONTROL PRESSURE CHECK
AT 10 INCHES OF VACUUM
A control pressure check should
be made at 10 inches of vacuum in
D, 2. Advance the throttle until the
engine vacuum reading is 10 inches
and check the control pressure regulation. Control pressure should
be as shown in Table 1.
TEST NUMBER ~
CONTROL PRESSURE CHECK
AT 3 INCHES OF VACUUMCheck control pressure at one
inches of vacuum in D, 2, and 1.
The control pressure should be as
shown in Table l. Then move the
selector lever to R. With the
vacuum at one inch the control
pressure should be as shown in
Table I.
While making this pressure test,
do not hold the throttle open for
more than five seconds in each
detent position. Between each testmove the selector lever to neutral
and run the engine at I000 rpm for
fifteen seconds to cool the converter.
If the vacuum and pressure gauge
readings are within specifications,
the diaphragm unit and transmission
control pressure regulating system
are operating properly.
If the transmission control pressure is too low, too high, fails to

rise with throttle opening, or is


extremely erratic, use the procedure
given under the following appropriate heading to resolve the problem.
CONTROL PRESSURE
TEST RESULTS
TEST NUMBER I CONTROL PRESSURE IS LOW
AT ENGINE IDLE
If control pressure at engine idle
is low in all selector lever positions,
trouble other than the diaphragm
unit is indicated.
When control pressure at engine
idle is low in all ranges, check for
excessive leakage in the front oil
pump, case, and control valve body,
or a sticking control pressure
regulator valve.
TEST NUMBER I CONTROL PRESSURE IS
HIGH AT ENGINE IDLE
If transmission control pressure
at engine idle is too high in all
ranges, the trouble may be in the
diaphragm unit or its connecting
vacuum tubes and hoses, throttle
valve, or control rod.
With the engine idling, disconnect the hose from the diaphragm
unit and check the engine manifold
vacuum. Hold a thumb over the
end of the hose and check for
vacuum. If the engine speeds up
when the hose is disconnected and
slows down as the thumb is held
against the end of the hose, the
vacuum source is satisfactory.
Stop the engine, and remove the
diaphragm unit and the diaphragm
unit control rod. Inspect the control
rod for a bent condition and for
corrosion. Check the diaphragm
unit for leakage with the distributor
tester.
TEST NUMBER 2CONTROL PRESSURE DOES
NOT INCREASE WITH
VACUUM AT
APPROXIMATELY 17.0 INCHES
When the control pressure is
within specifications at engine idle,
but does not increase as the vacuum
is decreased to the specified limits,
first check the control rod between
the vacuum unit and throttle valve
for proper engagement. If the control rod is not assembled into the
end of the throttle valve or vacuum
unit, the valve cannot regulate
throttle pressure to increase control pressure. Next check for a stuck

7-41

primary throttle valve, pressure


booster valve, or a stuck control
pressure regulator valve.
If control pressure increases before or after vacuum is decreased
to approximately 17.0 inches, check
for a leaking diaphragm assembly,
bent diaphragm can, or worn or
bent control rod.
TESTS NUMBER 3 AND ~
CONTROL PRESSURE NOT

WITHIN LIMITS AT 10 OR 1
INCHES OF VACUUM
If idle pressure and pressure point
increase are within specifications
but pressures at 10 or 1 inch of
vacuum on the transmission is not
within specification in all ranges,
excessive leakage, low pump capacity, or a restricted oil pan screen
is indicated.
If pressures are not within specifications for specific selector lever
positions only, this indicates excessive leakage in the clutch or servo
circuits used in those ranges.

FIG. 8- Adiustable Vacuum Unit


When the control pressure is
within specifications at engine idle,
but not within specifications at the
pressure rise point of approximately
17.0 inches of vacuum, at 10 inches
of vacuum, or at 1 inch of vacuum,
the vacuum diaphragm unit may
need adjustment.
The vacuum diaphragm assembly
used on the C4 transmission has an
adjusting screw in the vacuum hose
connecting tube (Fig. 8). The inner
end of the screw bears against a
plate which in turn bears against
the vacuum diaphragm spring.
All readings slightly high or all
readings slightly low may indicate
the vacuum unit needs adjustment
to correct a particular shift condition.
For example, if the pressure at
lO inches of vacuum was 120 psi and
the pressure at 1 inch of vacuum
was 170 psi and upshifts and downshifts were harsh, a diaphragm
adjustment to reduce the diaphragm

7-42

GROUP 7-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

assembly spring force would be


required.
If pressure readings are low, and
line pressure does not start to build
up until vacuum drops to 15 inches,
an adjustment to increase diaphragm
spring force is required.
To increase control pressure, tum
the adjusting screw in clockwise. To
reduce control pressure, back the
adjusting screw out by turning it
counterclockwise.
One complete turn of the adjusting screw (360.) will change idle line
control pressure approximately 2- 3
psi. After adju stment is made, install
the vacuum line and recheck the
pressures, part icularly the pressure
at 10 inches of vacuum.
The diaphragm should not be
adjusted to provide pressures below
the ranges previously specified in
order to change shift feel. To do so
could result in soft or slipping shifts
and damage to the transmission.
STALL TEST

Start the engine to allow it to


reach its normal temperature. Apply
both the parking and service brakes
while making tests.
The stall test is made in D, 2 and I,
or R, at full throttle to check engine
performance, converter clutch operation or installation, and the holding ability of the forward clutch,
reverse-high clutch and low-reverse
band and the gear train one-way
clutch. While making this test, do
not hold the throttle open for more
than five seconds at a time. Then
move the selector lever to Neutral
and run engine at l 000 rpm for
about 15 seconds to cool the converter before making the next test.
If the engine speed recorded by the
tachometer exceeds the maximum
limits specified in Table 2 release
the accelerator immediately because
clutch or band slippage is indicated.

STALL SPEED TOO HIGH


If stall speed exceeds specifications, band or clutch slippage is indicated, depending on transmission
selector lever position . Excessive
engine rpm only in D, 2 and I,

indicates forward clutch slippage.


Excessive engine rpm only in R
indicates either reverse-high clutch
or low-reverse band slippage. Excessive engine rpm only in D indicates
gear train one-way clutch slippage.
STALL SPEED TOO LOW
When the stall test speeds are low
and the engine is properly tuned,
converter stator clutch problems are
indicated. A road test must be
performed to determine the exact
cause of the trouble.
If the stall test speeds are 300 to
400 rpm below the specifications
shown in Table 2 and the car cruises
properly but has very poor acceleration, the converter stator clutch is
slipping.
If the stall test speeds are 300 to
400 rpm below the specified values,
and the car drags at cruising speeds
and acceleration is poor, the stator
clutch could be installed backwards.
Remove the converter and check
the stator clutch as described in
Cleaning and Inspection.
When the stall test shows normal
speeds, the acceleration is good, but
the car drags at cruising speeds, the
difficulty is due to a seized stator
assembly. If the stator is defective,
replace the converter.
INITIAL ENGAGEMENT
CHECKS
Initial engagement checks are
made to determine if initial band
and clutch engagements are smooth.
Run the engine until its normal
operating temperature is reached.
With the engine at the correct idle
speed, shift the selector lever from
N to D, 2 and I, and R. Observe
the initial band and clutch engagements. Band and clutch engagements should be smooth in all
positions. Rough initial engagements
in D, 2 and 1, or R are caused by
high engine idle speed or high
control pressures.
SHIFf POINT CHECKS
Check the light throttle upshifts
in D. The transmission should start
in first gear, shift to second, and
then shift to third within the shift
points specified in the specifications
section.
While the transmission is 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 car speed.


Check the closed throttle downshift from third to first by coasting
down from about 30 mph in third
gear. The shift should occur within
the limits specified in the specifications section.
When the selector lever is at 2,
the transmission can operate only
in second.
With the transmission in third
gear and road speed over 39 mph,
the transmission should shift to
second gear when the selector lever
is moved from D to I. The transmission will downshift from second
or third to first gear when this same
manual shift is made below approximately 38 mph. This check will
determine if the governor pressure
and shift control valves are functioning properly.
During the shift check operation,
if the transmission does not shift
within specifications or certain gear
ranges cannot be obtained, refer to
the Diagnosis Guide page 7- 44 to
resolve the problem.
AIR PRESSURE CHECKS
A NO DRIVE condition can
exist, even with correct transmission
fluid pressure, because of inoperative clutches, bands. The inoperative units can be located through a
series of checks by substituting air
pressure for the fluid pressure 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 or intermediate band. A NO
DRIVE condition at D may be
caused by an inoperative forward
clutch or one-way clutch. When
there is no drive in I the difficulty
could be caused by improper functioning of the forward clutch or
low-rev~rse band and the one-way
clutch .
The low-reverse band cannot be
checked in I. If the low-reverse
band or clutch fails , the one-way
clutch will hold the gear train and
operation will be normal except
that there will be no engine braking.
Failure to drive in reverse range
could be caused by a malfunction
of the reverse-high clutch or lowreverse band. Erratic shifts could be
caused by a stuck governor valve.
To make the air pressure checks,
drain the transmission fluid, and
then remove the oil pan and the

PART 7-2- C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


control valve body assembly. The
inoperative units can be located by
introducing air pressure into the
transmission case passages leading
to the clutches, servos, and
governor.

7-43
CONV ER TER IN

FORWARD CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the transmission case forward clutch passage
(Fig. 9). A dull thud can be heard
when the clutch piston is applied. If
no noise is heard, place the finger
tips on the input shell and again
apply air pressure to the forward
clutch passage. Movement of the
piston can be felt as the clutch is
applied.
GOVERNOR
Apply air pressure to the control
pressure to governor passage and
listen for a sharp clicking or whistling noise. The noise indicates secondary governor valve movement.
REVERSE-HIGH CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the reversehigh clutch passage (Fig. 9). A dull
thud indicates that the reverse-high
clutch piston has moved to the
applied position. If no noise is
heard, place the finger tips on the
clutch drum and again apply air
pressure to detect movement of the
piston.
INTERMEDIATE SERVO
Hold the air nozzle in the intermediate servo apply passage (Fig.
9). Operation of the servo is indicated by a tightening of the intermediate band around the drum.
Continue to apply air pressure into
the intermediate servo apply passage, and introduce air pressure into
the intermediate servo release passage. The intermediate servo should
release the band against the apply
pressure.

Apply air pressure to the lowreverse apply passage (Fig. 9). The
low-reverse band should tighten

operating properly.
If the servos do not operate, disassemble, clean and inspect them to
locate the source of the trouble.
If air pressure applied to any
clutch passage fails to operate the
clutch or operates more than one
clutch at once, remove and, with
air pressure, check the fluid passages in the case and front pump to
detect obstructions.
If the passages are clear, remove
the clutch assemblies, and clean and
inspect the malfunctioning clutch to
locate the trouble.

DIAGNOSIS GUIDE
The Transmission Diagnosis
Guide page 7-44 lists the most common trouble symptoms that may be
found in the transmission, and gives
the items that should be checked to
find the cause of the trouble.
The items to check for each
trouble symptom are arranged in a
logical sequence which should be
followed for quickest results. The
letter symbols for each item are explained in the Key to the Diagnosis
Guide.
If items A, B. C, D, E, and the
stall test have already been checked
during the preliminary checks and
adjustments, they need not be repeated when following the Diagnosis
Guide.

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS


TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN,
AND REFILL
.
Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate periodic automatic transmission fluid changes.
If a major failure, such as a
clutch, band, bearing, etc., has
occurred within the transmission,
it will have to be removed for ser-

vice. At this time the converter


must be thoroughly flushed to
remove all dirt.
When filling a dry transmission
and converter, install 5 quarts of
fluid. Start the engine, shift the
selector lever as in Step 5 below,
and check and add fluid as
necessary.
Following is the procedure for

partial drain and refill due to minor


repairs.
1. Place a drain pan under the
transmission. Loosen and remove
all but two of the oil pan bolts,
from the front of the case and drop
the rear edge of the oil pan to drain
the fluid. Remove and thoroughly
clean the oil pan and screen. Discard the oil pan gasket.

2. Place a new gasket on the oil
pan, and install the screen and pan
on the transmission.
3. Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
4. Run the engine at idle speed
for about two minutes. Check the
fluid level, and add fluid if necessary. Run the engine at fast idle
speed (about 1200 rpm) until it
reaches its normal operating temperature. Do not race the engine.
5. Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. If necessary,
add enough fluid to the transmission to raise the level to the F (Full)
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill
the transmission.
OIL COOLER FLUSHING
PROCEDURE
When a clutch or band failure or
other internal trouble has occurred
in the transmission, any metal particles or clutch plate or band
material that may have been carried
into the cooler should be removed
from the system by flushing the
cooler and lines before the transmission is put back into service. In
no case should an automatic transmission having a clutch or band
failure or other internal trouble
resulting in fluid contamination, be
put back into service without first
flushing the transmission oil cooler.
l. After installing a new or rebuilt automatic transmission and
converter assembly in the car, Do
Not Connect the Cooler Return Line

to the Transmission. Place the transmission selector lever in the P (park)


position and connect the cooler inlet (converter out) line to the transmission. Place a pan under the end
of the cooler return line that will
hold transmission fluid. Do Not
Start the Engine.
2. Install 5 quarts of automatic
transmission fluid meeting Ford
Specification.
3. Start the engine and allow it
to run at normal idle speed for 3
minutes with the selector lever in
P (park) position. Stop the engine
and add additional transmission
fluid required to complete total fill.
Start the engine and allow it to run
at normal idle speed.
4. Allow approximately two
quarts of transmission fluid to drain
into the pan placed under the end
of the cooler return line.
5. If the fluid does not run clean
after draining two quarts of it
through the cooler, shut off the
engine and add two additional
quarts of transmission fluid.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until
the transmission fluid flowing out
of the cooler return line is clean.
7. If there is no fluid flow or the
fluid does not flow freely, shut off
the engine and disconnect both
cooler lines from the transmission
and cooler.
8. Use an air hose with not more
than 100 psi air pressure to reverse
flush the cooler lines and the cooler.
After reverse flushing, connect both
lines at the cooler and the cooler
inlet line (converter out) to the

transmission.
9. Start the engine and check the
fluid flow. If the transmission fluid
flows freely, proceed with steps 3
through 6. If there is no fluid flow,
check for pinched cooler lines. If
the flow is restricted, replace cooler
lines and/or the radiator.
10. Shut off the engine, and connect the cooler return line to the
transmission. Check the transmission fluid level as indicated under
heading Transmission Fluid Level
Check. Add or remove transmission
fluid as required until the proper
fluid level is obtained on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL THE
TRANSMISSION.
11. Do not attempt to correct
cooler or cooler line leaks by closing
off the lines.
OIL COOLER TUBE
REPLACEMENT
When fluid leakage is found at
the oil cooler, the entire radiator
must be replaced. The oil cooler
cannot be removed from the radiator
for replacement.
When one or more of the fluid
cooler steel tubes must be replaced,
each replacement tube must be
fabricated 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 the
tube.
After the fittings have been
tightened, add fluid as needed, and
check for fluid leaks.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION


CLEANING

TRANSMISSION
Clean all parts with suitable
solvent and use moisture-free air
to dry off all parts and clean out
the various fluid passages.
The composition clutch plates and
bands should not be cleaned in a
vapor degreaser or with any type of
detergent solution. To clean these
parts, wipe them off with a lint-free
cloth. New clutch plates and bands
should be soaked in transmission
fluid for fifteen minutes before they
are assembled.
CONVERTER
If there is reason to believe that
the converter has an excessive

amount of foreign material in it,


it is to be replaced.

engagement with the pump rotor.
The converter pump driving hub
will bottom the rotor.
4. While holding the stator shaft
stationary, try to rotate the converter
counterclockwise. The converter
should rotate freely without any
signs of interference or scraping
within the converter assembly.
S. If there is an indication of
scraping, the trailing edges of the
stator blades may be interfering with
the leading edges of the impeller
blades. In such cases, replace the
converter.
STATOR TO TURBINE
INTERFERENCE CHECK
1. Position the converter, front
side down, on the bench.
2. Install the front pump assembly (complete) to engage the
mating splines of the stator support
and stator, and pump drive gear
flats.
3. Install the input shaft, engaging the splines with the turbine hub
(Fig. 11).
4. While holding the pump stationary, attempt to rotate the
turbine with the input shaft. The
turbine should rotate freely in both
directions without any signs of
interference or scraping noise.
5. If interference exists, the stator
front thrust washer may be worn,
allowing the stator to hit the
turbine. In such cases, the converter
must be replaced.
FRONT PUMP AND STATOR
SUPPORT
1. Inspect the clutch drum journal
for wear and roughness.
2. Check the side clearances
between the clutch apply pressure
seal rings and their grooves in the
stator support. These clearances
should be between 0.0035 and
0.0045 inch.

3. Remove the clutch apply rings


and install them in their normal
running position in the clutch drum.
Then check the ring gaps. This ring
gap clearance should be between
0.002 and 0.009 inch.
4. Inspect the input shaft bushings
in the stator support shaft for wear.
Check the oil ring grooves in the
stator support for nicks, burrs or
damaged edges. Check the gasket
mating surface of the pump body
for damaged surface.
S. Inspect the converter pump
drive hub bushing in the front pump
housing. Inspect the pump seal in
the pump housing for defects that
would cause fluid leakage.

CONTROL VALVE BODY


1. Inspect all valve and plug
bores for scores. Check all fluid
passages for obstruction. Inspect
the check valves for free movement.
Inspect all mating surfaces for burrs
or distortion. Inspect all plugs and
valves for burrs and scores. Crocus
cloth can be used to polish valves
and plugs if care is taken to avoid
rounding the sharp edges of the valves
and plugs.
2. Inspect all springs for distortion. Check all valves and plugs for
free movement in their respective
bores. Valves and plugs, when dry,
must fall from their own weight in
their respective bores.

GOVERNOR
1. Inspect the governor valves
and housing for wear. Crocus cloth
may be used to polish the valves if
care is taken to avoid rounding the
sharp edges.
2. Install the governor valves in
the governor housing and check
them for free movement. Each valve
should fall of its own weight when
dry.

PINION CARRIERS
1. The pins and shafts in the
planet assemblies should be checked
for loose fit and/or complete disengagement. Replacement, using a
new planet assembly, should be
made if either condition is found to
exist.
2. Inspect the pinion gears for
damaged or excessively worn areas.
3. Check for free rotation of the
pinion gears.
4. Inspect the front planet thrust
surface for excessive wear.

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. Inspect the composition clutch
plates for damage. These plates
should be flat. If the plates are not
flat, they must be replaced. If the
old plates are to be re-used, they
must not be cleaned in a vapor degreaser or cleaned with any type of
detergent solution. Wipe them clean
with lint-free towels.
If new composition plates are to
be installed, soak them in automatic
transmission fluid for at least 15
minutes before assembling them in
the clutch drum. This soaking
prevents damage to the plates during
the transmission fluid fill period and
initial running-in.
2. Inspect the steel clutch plates.
These clutch plates should also be
flat. If they are not flat, they should
be replaced.
3. Inspect the clutch release
springs for being broken or distorted.
4. Inspect the clutch piston ball
check valve for free movement and
proper seating. Make sure the
orifice in the clutch piston is open.
S. Inspect the clutch drum bushing for wear.

SERVO-ASSEMBLIES
1. Inspect the servo piston and
seals for defects that would cause
hydraulic leakage.
2. Inspect the cover seal and
gasket cover sealing surface for
defects.
CASE
1. Inspect the case for cracks.
2. With an air hose, check all
fluid passages for obstruction or
cross leakage.
3. Check all case linkage parts for
free travel and proper engagement.
4. Check the vent passage for
obstructions with an air hose.
ONE-WAY CLUTCH
1. Inspect the outer and inner
races for scores or damaged surface
area where the rollers contact the
races.
2. Inspect the rollers and springs
for excessive wear or damage.
3. Inspect the spring and roller
cage for bent or damaged spring
retainers.

PART 7-2- C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATI ON


When the turbine rotates faster
than -fo- impeller speed the converter no longer multiplies torque.
_The fluid is directed against the
back face of the stator blades. As
the one-way clutch permits the
stator to rotate only in the direction
of impeller rotation, the stator
begins to turn with the impeller and
turbine. The converter operates as
an efficient fluid coupling as long as
the turbine speed remains greater
than -fo- impeller speed.
A comtant flow of fluid into and
out of the converter is maintained.
The fluid coming out of the converter is forced through a cooler
located in the radiator tank .

The converter torque multiplication gradually tapers off as turbine


speed approaches impeller speed,
and it becomes I to I when the
turbine is being driven at -fo- impeller speed. This is known as the
coupling point.
When the turbine is rotating at
less than /o impeller speed, the converter is multiplying torque. The
fluid leaving the turbine blades
strikes the front face of the stator
blades. These blades are held
stationary by the action of a oneway clutch (Fig. 14) as long as the
fluid is directed against the front
face of the blades.

(Fig. 14) consists of an impeller
(pump), a turbine, and a stator. All
these parts are enclosed and operate
in a fluid-filled housing.
When the engine is running, the
fluid in the torque converter flows
from the impeller to the turbine and
back to the impeller through the
stator. This flow produces a maximum torque increase of about 2 tb
I when the turbine is stalled. When
enough torque is developed by the
impeller, the turbine begins to
rotate, turning the turbine shaft
(input shaft).

OPERATION

TRANSMISSION
The new transmission features a
drive range that provides for fully
automatic upshifts and downshifts,
and manually selected low and
second gears.
The six selector-lever positions
provided are P (Park), R (Reverse),
N (Neutral), D (automatic Drive
Range), 2 (second-gear hold) and
I (low-gear hold).
Drive (D) is a fully automatic
range providing for a first gear start,
with automatic upshifts to second
and high gear occurring at appropriate intervals. Second gear (2)
is a manually selected second gear
hold. When the selector lever is
moved to (2) the transmission will
engage and remain in second gear,
regardless of throttle opening or
road speed.
D (DRIVE)
The normal automatic driving
range is indicated by D. In this
range the car starts off in first gear
and gives the best combination of
automatic gear shifts, to provide for
economy and fuJi power starts. As
the accelerator is depressed and the
car picks up speed, automatic shifts
to second and high gears will occur.
The transmission will automatically
downshift as speed decreases.
Forced downshifts in D are made
by pushing the accelerator to the
floor (kickdown) and the transmission will shift to 2nd or Ist depending on road speed.

2 (SECOND GEAR HOLD):


When the engine is started and
the shift lever is moved to 2 the cat
will start off and remain in second
gear, regardless of throttle opening
or road speed. This range is
especially useful for starting t.he car
on icy pavements or other shppery
surfaces. Similarly, when engine
braking is required and the selector
lever is moved from D to 2, the
transmission will engage and remain
in second gear. Selector lever
position 2 is not a cruising range in
the usual sense of the term. While
the transmission is capable of
limited cruising in second gear,
maximum fuel economy and best
all-around cruising performance are
realized in D range.
1 (LOW GEAR HOLD):
When the engine is started and
the shift lever is moved to 'I' the
car will start off and remain in first
gear regardless of throttle opening
or road speed.
When I is selected from D or 2
the transmission will engage and
retain first gear when road speed is
below approx. 39 mph.
When I is selected from D with a
road speed above 39 mph second
gear will be engaged and retained
until road speed drops below 39
mph when first gear will be engaged
and retained.
R-Reverse
Reverse gear is selected.

P-Park
In this position the output shaft
is locked to the transmission case
preventing the drive shaft from
rotating. The gear set is in
neutral.
N-Neutral
Places the gear set in neutral but
does not lock the transmission.
TOWING
Important. Should it be necessary
to tow a vehicle fitted with a C4
transmission, the drive shaft must
be disconnected or the rear end of
the car suspended, otherwise subsequent failure of the transmission
will occur.
PLANETARY GEAR TRAIN,
CLUTCHES, BANDS,
AND SERVOS
Planetary Gear Train. The gear
train consists of an input shaft that
is splined to the turbine of the
converter and the forward clutch
cylinder(Fig. l5). The forward clutch
cylinder rotates the steel internal

clutch plates of the forward clutch


and the composition clutch plates
of the reverse-high clutch. When the
reverse-high clutch is applied, the
external area of the clutch hub is
splined to and drives the input shell
to rotate the sun gear. When the
forward clutch is applied, the composition clutch plates drive the
forward clutch hub and ring gear.
The ring gear rotates the forward
planet gears.
When applied, the intermediate
band holds the reverse-high clutch
drum, input shell and sun gear from
rotating.
The sun gear, which is driven by
the input shell, is meshed with the
forward and reverse planet gears.
The reverse planet carrier and low
reverse drum are locked together
with external splines. The lowreverse drum can be held from
rotating by the low-reverse band.
In Dl the low-reverse drum is also
held from rotating by a roller type
one-way clutch.
The forward planet carrier, reverse ring gear hub, park gear and
governor oil collector are all splined
to the output shaft.
Forward Clutch. The input shaft
is splined to and drives the forward
clutch cylinder (Fig. 15). Rotation of
the cylinder drives the steel clutch
plates in the forward clutch and the
composition clutch plates of the
reverse-high clutch.
When the forward clutch piston
is applied by hydraulic pressure, the
movement of the piston against the
disc spring locks the steel and composition clutch plates together to
drive the forward clutch hub and
ring gear.
When hydraulic pressure is released from the piston, the disc
spring moves the piston to the
released position. As the disc spring
moves, the steel and composition
clutch plates are released. This stops
the rotation of the forward clutch
hub and ring gear.
The
forward clutch is applied in all
forward drive gear ratios.
Reverse-High
Clutch.
When
hydraulic pressure is directed to the
clutch piston, the piston moves
against the release spring (Fig. 15).
The piston movement locks the steel
and rotating composition clutch
plates together. The steel clutch
plates drive the reverse-high clutch
drum which is splined to the input
shell. Rotation of the input shell
drives the sun gear which is splined
to the input shell.

PART 7-2- C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


To release the reverse-high clutch,
hydraulic pressure is exhausted
from the apply side of the piston.
The return spring moves the piston
to the released position. The steel
and composition clutch plates are
now released to stop rotation of the
reverse-high clutch drum, input
shell and sun gear.
Intermediate Servo and Band. The
intermediate servo is machined into
the transmission case and the band
has an external adjustment screw
(Fig. I 6). To apply the servo, hydraulic pressure is directed from
the control valve body, through a
hole in the case to the hole in the
servo piston stem. The pressure
passes through the centre of the
piston stem and then to the apply
side of the piston. The piston moves
against the return spring to tighten
the intermediate band a-r ound the
reverse-high clutch drum.
To release the servo piston, hydraulic pressure is directed to the
release side of the piston. The release pressure is assisted by the
compressed return spring to move
the servo piston and intermediate
band to the OFF position. The
intermediate servo and band are
applied only during the intermediate
gear operation .
Low-Reverse Servo and Band.
The low-reverse servo is machined
\

into the transmission case and the


band has an external adjustment
screw (Fig. I 7). To apply the servo,
hydraulic pressure is directed from
the control valve body through a
hole in the case to a hole in the
piston stem. The pressure then
passes through the centre of the
piston stem to the apply area of the
servo piston. The apply pressure
force moves the piston against the
piston return spring to tighten the
low-reverse band around the lowreverse drum.
To release the servo piston and
band, the hydraulic pressure is exhausted from the apply side of the
piston. The compressed return
spring expands to release the piston
and the low-reverse band.
POWER FLOW
All Gear Rotations are viewed
from the front of transmission.
Table 3 page 7-52 shows the gear
ratios obtained in the different selector lever positions.
Power Flow Neutral. In neutral
(Fig. 18) the clutches or bands are
not applied, therefore, no power is
transmitted to the output shaft.
Power Flow First Gear. In low
gear (Fig. 18), the forward clutch is
applied, and the planet one-way
clutch or low-reverse band is holding the low-reverse drum and reverse planet carrier from rotating.

FORWARD CLUTCH
CYLINDER

7-49

The power flow is through the input


shaft and into the forward clutch.
The input shaft is splined to and
drives the forward clutch cylinder.
Rotation of the forward clutch
drives the forward clutch hub and
ring gear. The ring gear rotates the
forward planet gears clockwise to
cause the sun gear to rotate counterclockwise.
Counter-clockwise rotation ofthe
sun gear turns the reverse planet
gear clockwise. The reverse planet
carrier being splined to the lowreverse drum is held from rotating
by the one-way clutch or lowreverse band.
With the reverse planet carrier
held stationary, the clockwise rotation of the reverse planet gears
rotates the reverse ring gear and
hub clockwise. The hub of the
reverse ring gear is splined to the
output shaft and rotates the output
shaft clockwise.
The output shaft rotation is at
a reduced speed, compared to the
input shaft rotation, but at an
increased torque.
The output shaft rotation at a
reduced speed is caused by the fact
that the forward planet carrier rotates at the same speed of the output shaft and in the same direction
since the carrier is splined to the
output shaft. The forward ring gear
and planet assembly are rotating in
the same direction, but the planet

carrier is rotating at a slower speed
than the ring gear. Therefore, the
low gear ratio (torque multiplication) is a combination of the ratios
provided by the forward and reverse
planet assemblies.
Power Flow Intermediate Gear.
In intermediate gear (Fig. 18), the
forward clutch is applied and the
intermediate band is holding the
reverse high clutch drum, input
shell and sun gear from turning.
The power flow is through the
input shaft into the forward clutch
and forward front planet assembly
ring gear. The sun gear is held from
rotating by the intermediate band.
This causes the forward planet
pinions to rotate (walk) around the
sun gear, carrying the forward
planet carrier with them. The forward planet carrier, being splined
to the output shaft, causes clockwise rotation of the output shaft at
a reduction in speed compared to
the speed of the input shaft, and at
an increase in torque.

Clockwise rotation of the output


shaft causes clockwise rotation of
the output shaft ring gear, causing
the reverse planet pinions to also
rotate (walk) around the sun gear
in a clockwise direction. The reverse
planet carrier will also rotate clockwise and the one-wav clutch inner
race being splined to the reverse
planet carrier, will overrun.
Power Flow High Gear. In high
gear (Fig. 18), the forward and reverse-high clutches are applied. The
power flow is through the input
shaft into the for~ard clutch cylinder. (The forward clutch cylinder
rotates the steel clutch plates of the
forward clutch and the composition
c1utch plates of the reverse-high
clutch.) The forward clutch directs
the power flow through the forward
clutch hub and ring gear to the
forward planet carrier.
The reverse-high clutch directs
the power flow through the input
shell to the sun gear. With the sun
gear and the forward clutch hub

ring gear driven at the same speed


the forward planet assembly (that
is splined to the output shaft) is
forced to rotate the output shaft at
the same speed and direction to
provide high gear.
Power Flow Reverse. In reverse
(Fig. 18), the reverse-high clutch and
low-reverse band are applied. The
power flow is through the input
shaft, reverse-high clutch, input
shell and to the sun gear. Clockwise
rotation of the sun gear causes
counter-clockwise rotation of the
reverse planet gears.
The low-reverse band, holding
the low-reverse drum and reverse
planet carrier from turning, causes
the reverse planet gears to rotate
counter-clockwise.
This rotates the reverse ring gear
and hub countc:r-clockwise. The hub
splined to the output shaft rotates
the output shaft counter-clockwise
at a reduction in speed and at an
increase in torque for reverse gear.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM
FRONT PUMP
A gear type ;:mmp mounted on
the front of the transmission case
supplies the fluid for the operation
of the hydraulic control system.
Pump intake is through a screen
which is part of the main control
assembly and into the case casting
and pump. Discharge is through
the case into the main control assembly. Fluid from the front pump
is directed to the following valves
in the main control assembly:
Main Oil Pressure Regulator
Valve
Manual Valve
Throttle Booster Valve
2-3 Shift Valve
Fluid is also directed to the
primary throttle valve, which is
located in the rear of the case. Fluid
pressure delivered to these valves is
at a pressure controlled by the main
oil pressure regulator valve.
MAIN OIL PRESSURE
REGULATOR VALVE
The main regulator valve assembly consists of the main oil pressure
regulator valve and spring, main
oil pressure booster valve, spring
and sleeve, located in one bore in
the mi!-in control assembly (Fig. 20).
Fluid is delivered to the end and
one valley of the main regulator
valve from the front pump. Fluid
pressure on the end land tends to
move the valve against spring force.

Spring force is such that at approximately 60 psi front pump pressure,


the main valve will move so that
the third land uncovers the converter feed port, allowing additional
pump volume to be used to charge
the converter. If volume supplied
by the front pump is greater than
that required to maintain 60 psi
line pressure, and converter and
lube requirements, the valve will
move further allowing the second
land to uncover the port which
allows excess pump volume to be
returned to the pump. Pressures
over 60 psi which are required under
various operating conditions are
obtained by delivering fluid under
pressure to the pressure booster
valve, which it will cause the pressure booster valve to assist the main
regulator valve spring in increasing
regulated line pressure.
Source of these pressures which
cause variations in control pressure
are discussed later.
MANUAL VALVE
One passage delivers line pressure
to the manual valve. The valve is
positioned by the manual linkage,
according to the mode of operation
desired, to direct fluid out of one or
more of the line passages which lead
from the manual valve. The four (4)
passages leading from the manual
valve (from left to right) are shown
in Fig. 20.

end of the pressure booster valve.


When force created on the booster
valve by T.V. pressure or T.V. and
coasting boost pressure exceeds
pressure booster valve spring force,
the force will be added to the main
regulator valve spring force transmitted to the regulator valve. This
will provide increased line pressures
required to compensate for increased throttle openings and ~r\gine
torque output. Figure 19 shows how
line pressure varies with engine
vacuum at 0 output shaft rpm.
(R Range)
In reverse, additional fluid pressure is required to prevent clutch
and/or band slippage under stall or
partial stall conditions. This additional pressure is provided by directing R oil pressure to the middle
valley of the pressure booster valve.
The differential in area between the
lands creates a force which is added
to the forces present due to T.V.
pressure and the line coasting boost
valve pressure. The resultant force
is added to the force of the main
regulator valve spring, to boost line
pressure to a higher value than is
available in the forward driving
ranges.
GOVERNOR
At Rest-O mph

Control pressure (line) is fed to


the secondary governor valve
through the center passage in the
valve body when a forward range
has been selected. Because of the
differential in area of the inner and
outer lands of the valve. the valve
will be forced inward, shutting off
line pressure feed to the. governor
passage and allowing this passage
to be opened to exhaust, at the inner
end of the valve. At the same time,
line pressur.e will pass by two flats
on the outer end of the valve, pressurizing the line leakage passage
leading to the primary governor
valve. At rest, the spring on the
outer end of the primary governor
valve holds the primary governor
valve inward, blocking further flow
of the fluid in the line leakage passage. This causes pressure in the line
leakage passage to build to the same
value as line pressure. As a consequence, the secondary governor
valve is held in and there is no pressure in the governor circuit.
Above 10 mph

When vehicle speed reaches approximately 10 mph, centrifugal

force on the primary governor valve


overcomes spring force, and the
valve moves outward, opening the
line leakage passage to exhaust.
This action reduces the pressure on
the end of the secondary governor
valve to zero (0), allowing the
secondary valve to also move outward, due to spring force and
centrifugal force. When the secondary valve moves outward, it closes
the governor exhaust passage, and
allows line pressure to enter the
governor passage. As pressure builds
in the governor passage it will create
a force on the secondary governor
valve due to the differential in areas
of the inner and outer lands of the
valve. This force tends to move the
valve inward. When the force on
the valve created by pressure in the
governor passage exceeds the centrifugal force plus spring force, the
valve will move inward, allowing
governor pressure to exhaust, and
close the passage between line pressure and governor pressure. When
governor pressure is reduced, the
secondary valve will again move
outward, closing the governc:: exhaust port and opening the line
pressure to governor passage. Above
10 mph, governor pressure is regulated in this manner, and will vary
with vehicle speeds.
If vehicle speed drops below I 0
mph, the primary valve spring will
move the primary governor valve
in, closing the line leakage exhaust
port at the primary valve. Pressure
in the line leakage passage will become equal to line pressure, forcing
the secondary governor valve in.
This action shuts off line pressure
feed to the governor passage and
exhausts the governor circuit.
When the secondary governor
valve is regulating, governor pressure will be delivered to the cutback valve, end of the 2-3 shift
valve and the I -2 shift valve. Figure
21 shows the relationship between
governor pressure and output shaft
rpm.

THROTTLE BOOSTER
VALVE
Note: While the throttle booster valve
is fitted to all C4 transmissions it is
rendered ineffective on transmissions
fitted to 250 C.I.D. 2V and 302
C.I .D. 2V engines by a ball inserted in
the booster valve spring preventing
valve movement.
Throttle plate openings above
50 provide very little change in
engine vacuum as compared to
throttle plate opening below 50.
The throttle booster valve is provided to boost throttle pressure and
provide the necessary shi~t delay for
engine throttle plate opemngs above
50.
Below approximately 60 psi primary T.V. pressure, T.V. pressure
flows to and through the throttle
boost valve unaffected, working on
the end of the boost valve and on
the area differential on the spring
side of the boost valve. As a consequence, T.V. pressure passes
through the throttle boost valve
unaffected.
When T.V. pressure increases
above 60 psi, the force created by
T.V. pressure acting on the end of
the throttle boost valve, minus the
force of T.V. pressure acting on the
area differential on the spring side,
will exceed the force of the spring.
This causes the valve to move
against the spring, closing off primary T.V. pressure to the area differential on the spring side and
permitting this area to be fed from
line pressure, causing a boost in the
pressure used for shift delay only.
Because the area of the end of the
throttle boost valve exceeds the area
differential on the spring side by
approximately 2! to I, throttle
boost pressure above 60 psi primary
T.V. pressure will increase 2.5 psi,
per I psi primary T.V.
T.V. pressure from the throttle
booster valve is delivered to the
downshift valve, throttle modulator
valve, cut-back valve, and spring
end of the 2-3 backout valve.
Figure 19 shows the relationship
between primary T.V. pressure and
boosted throttle pressure.
THROTTLE MODULATOR
VALVE
The throttle modulator valve,
located in the end of the 2-3 shift
valve bore, reduces throttle pressure which acts on the ends of the
2-3 shift valve and on the area differential of the 1-2 shift valve.

PART 7-2- C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


Modulated throttle pressure in these
areas provides shift delay in relation
to throttle opening.
CUT BACK VALVE
Increased line pressure is required
to prevent clutch and band slippage
under stall conditions. As vehicle
speed increases, the requirements
for increased line pressure are considerably reduced. The cut back
valve provides for the reduction in
line pressure. When governor pressure acting on the end of the cut
back valve exceeds the force of T.V.
pressure and throttle boost pressure
opposing governor pressure the
cut back valve will move, cutting
off primary T.V. pressure being fed
to the pressure booster valve and
intermediate band accumulator
valve. The cut back valve movement
will therefore vary with engine
throttle opening and vehicle speed.
See Figure 22 for line pressure
variation with output shaft rpm

LINE COASTING
BOOST VALVE
The line coasting boost valve is
provided to boost line pressure under light throttle or closed throttle
driving conditions in 2, 1 or R
ranges. The boosted line pressure
controls the 2-1 downshift point in
1 range.
Primary T.V. pressure is delivered
to the end of the line coasting boost
valve and to the upper valley of the
pressure booster valve. 1-R or 2 oil
pressure is directed from the manual
valve through a ball shuttle valve to
the line coasting boost valve. Under
throttle off conditions, the force
created by 1-R or 2 oil acting on
the area differential will be directed
through a ball shuttle valve to the
end of the pressure booster valve.
The output of the coasting boost
valve decreases with an increase in
primary T.V. pressure. Primary T.V.
pressure acting on the pressure

booster valve tends to increase line


pressure, however coasting boost
pressure is decreasing, resulting in a
slight reduction in regulated line
pressure from 20" to s manifold
vacuum at Zero or low vehicle
speeds. Below 8" manifold vacuum,
the output pressure of the coasting
boost valve will connect to primary
T.V. pressure from the cutback
valve, which will increase regulated
line pressure. At high road speeds
(after cutback) the output of the
coasting boost valve will decrease
from 20" through o manifold
vacuum which slightly decreases
regulated line pressure.
DOWNSHIFT VALVE
(fn 1, R and 2 Ranges)
1-R or 2 oil pressure is delivered
to the downshift valve. The difference in diameter between the
lands provides an area differential
for regulation. This pressure will
be referred to later as regulated
downshift valve oil pressure and is
used primarily to control the 2-1
downshift point in 1 range. When
the throttle is opened through detent the downshift valve is forced to
the right against spring pressure.
Boosted throttle pressure (T.V. pres
sure on 250 2V and 302) now re
places regulated downshift pressure
and is directed to the 2-3 and 1-2
shift valves.
(In D Range)
Because there is no control (line)
pressure feed to the downshift valve
in this range it is ineffective until the
throttle is opened through detent.
At this point boosted throttle pressure (T.V. pressure on 250 2V and
302) enters the valve and is directed
to the 2-3 and 1-2 shift valves to
give a 3-2 or 2-1 kickdown shift
depending on road speed.
1-2 SHIFT VALVE TRAIN
AND 2-3 SHIFT VALVE
The 1-2 shift valve train is composed of the 1-2 shift valve, 02
valve, and the 1-2 shift valve spring.
Operation of the 1-2 shift valve
train, 2-3 shift valve, and the downshift valve in the various modes is
as follows :
(D Range: 1-2 Upshifts and
2-1 Downshifts)
In 0 range the 1-2 shift valve is
held closed (up) by modulated
throttle pressure acting on the differential area between the two lands
of the 1-2 shift valve, by 0 oil pressure acting on the differential in

7-55

area between the two lands at the


spring end of the 02 valve, and by
the 1-2 shift valve spring. Governor
pressure tends to move the 1-2 shift
valve train against these forces.
When force created by governor
pressure exceeds the forces holding
the 1-2 shift valve train closed, the
1-2 shift valve and 02 valve will be
opened (moved downward), closing
the exhaust port and allowing 0 oil
to pass through the 02 valve to
accomplish the 1-2 shift. When the
02 valve is moved downward 0
oil is exhausted from the differential
in areas provided by the lower two
lands of the 02 valve. This action
eliminates the force created by 0
oil which tends to hold the 1-2 shift
valve train closed.
If governor pressure is reduced to
the point where spring force and
modulated throttle pressure force
exceeds governor pressure force, the
1-2 shift valve train will move up
(close) cutting off the flow of 0 oil
through the valve and opening the
exhaust port allowing a downshift
to low gear.
If the throttle is open to the point
where modulated throttle pressure
acting on the 1-2 shift valve plus the
1-2 shift valve spring force creates a
force greater than that provided by
governor pressure, the 1-2 shift
valve train will be closed, providing
a torque demand downshift to low.
If the throttle is open through
detent, the downshift valve moves
to allow boosted throttle pressure
(T.V. pressure on 250 2V & 302)
to enter the modulated throttle
pressure passage at the 1-2 shift
valve to provide a forced 2-1
downshift.
(D Range: 2-3 Upshifts and
3-2 Downshifts)
The 2-3 shift valve is held closed
(up) by throttle modulator valve
spring force, modulated throttle
pressure force, and by line pressure
force acting on the differential in
area of the lands of the valve to
which is it is delivered.
Governor pressure tends to open
the 2-3 shift valve. When force
created by governor pressure exceeds the forces holding the valve
closed (up), the valve will move
downward allowing 0 oil .Pressure
to apply the direct clutch and
release the intermediate servo to
accomplish the 2-3 shift.
With the shift valve open (down)
the throttle modulator valve is held
down cutting off modulated throttle

GROUP 7-AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION

pressure to the 2-3 shift valve and


1-2 shift valve. In addition, the port
which delivered line pressure to the
qifferential in area of the shift valve
lands, is closed.
The shift valve will be reopened
(moved up) causing a 3-2 downshift
under one or more of the following
conditions:
GOVERNOR PRESSURE
REDUCED
If governor pressure is reduced to
the point where it can no longer
hold the shift valve down against
spring force and T .V. pressure force,
the valve wiU move up causing a
downshift. Under closed throttle
conditions, the 2-3 shift valve will
close at approximately 10 mph
(speed at which governor pressure
is cut off). Since governor pressure
is cut off at this speed the 1-2 shift
valve train also closes at the same
time. This will provide a 3-1 downshift when coasting in D range.
THROTTLE PRESSURE
INCREASED
If throttle pressure is increased
sufficiently, it will move the throttle
modulator valve and consequently
the 2-3 shift valve up, causing a 3-2
torque demand downshift.
THROTTLE PRESSURE
INTRODUCED BELOW
2-3 SHIFT VALVE
If the downshift valve is moved
through detent, boosted throttle
pressure (T.V. pressure on 250 2V &
302) is directed to the underside
of the 2-3 shift valve, forcing the
valve up and causing a forced 3-2
downshift. Maximum 3-2 forced
downshift speed is controlled by
governor pressure.
(D to 2 Range)
If the manual vafve is moved to
2 range, the force created by 2 oil
pressure acting on the area differential of the 2-3 shift valve and on
the spring end of the valve plus the
force of the throttle modulator valve
spring will exceed the force created
by governor pressure. The 2-3 shift
valve will then close (move up)
allowing the direct clutch applyintermediate servo release oil to
exhaust, permitting the intermediate
band to apply causing a 3-2 downshift. In addition, D2 oil pressure is
introduced between the 1-2 shift
valve and D2 valve, and regulated
downshift valve oil pressure is introduced between the lands of the 1-2
shift valve. This opens (moves

down) the D-2 valve and holds it


open and closes (moves up) the 1-2
shift valve and holds it closed; thus
preventing a 2-1 downshift. The
transmission will remain in intermediate or second gear until another mode of operation is selected.
(D to 1 Range)
If the manual valve is moved to I
range at vehicle speeds greater than
approximately 39 mph, a 3-2 downshift will be accomplished in the
same manner as in 2 range, except
that 1-R oil pressure instead of 2
oil pressure is directed to the 2-3
shift valve.
At vehicle speeds of approximately 39 mph or lower, the force
created by regulated downshift
valve pressure acting on the area
differential of the 1-2 shift valve
plus the force of the 1-2 shift valve
spring will exceed governor pressure force holding the 1-2 shift
va~ve train open (down). The 1-2
shift valve train will then close
(move up), exhausting intermediate
servo apply and allowing 1-R oil
pressure to pass through the D2
valve to the spring end of the D2
valve, and to the reverse and low
band via the low servo modulator
valve. The transmission will remain
in low or first gear until another
mode of operation is selected.
(2 Range)
In 2 range, 2 oil pressure is introduced between the 1-2 shift valve
and D-2 valve, and regulated downshift valve oil pressure is introduced
between the lands of the 1-2 shift
valve. This action opens the D2
valve and holds it open and closes
the 1-2 shift valve and holds it
closed providing a second gear start
and preventing a 2-1 downshift.
The transmission will remain in
intermediate or second gear until
another mode of operation is
selected.
(1 Range)
In 1 range, regulated downshift
valve pressures enter the modulated
throttle pressure passage to provide
a manual low downshift to first
gear. Once the transmission is in
low gear 1-R oil pressure, which is
directed to the D2 valve, passes
through the D2 valve and is
delivered to the spring end of the
D2 valve, preventing an upshift.
1-R oil pressure which passes
through the D2 valve also applies
the reverse and low servo via the
low servo modulator valve.

(R Range)
In reverse 1-R oil pressure is
directed to and through the D2
valve to the spring end of the D2
valve and to the reverse and low
servo applying the reverse and low
band. The force created by 1-R oil
pressure on the spring end of the
D2 valve and the force created by
regulated downshift valve oil pressure on the area differential of the
1-2 shift valve is added to the force
of the 1-2 shift valve spring,
preventing any movement of the 1-2
shift valve train regardless of
governor pressure.
R oil pressure is directed to and
through the 2-3 shift valve to the
reverse-direct clutch applying the
clutch and to the release side of the
intermediate servo. The force created
by regulated downshift valve oil
pressure on the spring end of the 2-3
shift valve, and 1-R oil pressure on
the area differential of the lands
adjacent to the top valley of the 2-3
shift valve is added to the force of
the throttle modulator valve spring,
preventing any movement of the 2-3
shift valve regardless of governor
pressure.
2-3 . BACK-OUT VALVE
The. purpose of the 2-3 back-out
valve is to provide smooth upshifts,
when the throttle is suddenly closed
while accelerating in second gear.
Operation is as follows :
Normal Throttle-On 2-3 Upshifts
When the 2-3 shift valve moves to
cause a 2-3 upshift, D oil pressure
passes through the valve to apply
the direct clutch and release the
intermediate servo. This same pressure is also directed to the end of
the 2-3 back-out valve. However,
with throttle open, T.V. boost
pressure (T.V. pressure on 250 2V &
302) on the opposite end of the
2-3 back-out valve, assists spring
force in holding the valve up, so
that there will be no valve movement until after the 2-3 shift has
been completed.
Back-Out 2-3 Upshifts
When the throttle is closed during
a 2-3 upshift, and before the shift is
completed, there may be enough
pressure in the direct clutch cylinder
to apply the clutch at the reduced
engine torque input, but not enough
pressure to release the intermediate
servo. This condition could cause a
harsh 2-3 shift. However, if the
throttle is closed during a 2-3 shift,

PART 7-2- C4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


primary throttle pressure will be
reduced to Zero (0), and reverse and
direct clutch apply pressure on the
end of the 2-3 back-out valve will
move the valve down against spring
force. This action immediately connects the clutch apply circuit to the
intermediate servo apply circuit,
reducing the pressure on the apply
side of the servo to the same value
as in the direct clutch (and also on
the release side of the intermediate
servo). When this happens, the
intermediate band is released, to
provide a smooth 2-3 upshift.
INTERMEDIATE BAND
ACCUMULATOR VALVE
TRAIN
The intermediate band accumulator valve train is composed of the
intermediate band accumulator
valve, and the accumulator valve
spring. The intermediate band accumulator valve in conjunction with
the intermediate servo check valve
controls intermediate servo apply
force on all applications of the
intermediate band, under open
throttle operating conditions in D,
2 or I ranges.
Operation is as follows:
(D Range: 1-2 Upshifts and
3-2 Downshifts)
(2 and 1 Range: 3-2
Down shifts-Shifting D to 2 or 1)
Fluid pressure from the 02 valve
acting on the apply side of the intermediate servo piston tending to
apply the servo, causes the fluid
which is trapped in the intermediate
servo release passage to be pres-

surized. This pressure acting on the


end of the intermediate servo
accumulator valve will cause the
accumulator valve to move against
primary T.V. pressure and/or the
accumulator valve spring. The servo
release pressure is exhausted through
the reverse-direct clutch apply circuit
to maintain a certain level of
pressure on the release side of the
intermediate servo until it has
completely stroked, applying the
band. Force created by this pressure
on the release side of the servo, plus
intermediate servo spring force, is
subtracted from the force of control
pressure acting on the apply side of
the servo, thereby controlling the
servo apply force.
Should a change to 2 be made
under closed throttle conditions,
governor pressure will hold the cutback valve down providing an
exhaust for the intermediate release
circuit via the orifice restriction,
cut-back valve, 2-3 shift valve and
the manual valve.
(D Range: 2-3 Upshifts)
During a 2-3 upshift, D oil
pressure from the 2-3 shift valve will
unseat the intermediate servo check
valve, bypassing the intermediate
servo accumulator valve, allowing
the release side of the intermediate
servo to be pressurized at the same
pressure level as the direct clutch,
thereby releasing the intermediate
band.
1-2 TRANSITION VALVE
The 1-2 transition valve prevents
application of the intermediate

servo before the release of the low/


reverse servo during a manual 1-2
upshift. In 'I' low / reverse servo
apply pressure is directed to the
spring end of the transition valve
forcing the 2-3 backout valve down
against throttle pressure and the
backout valve spring pressure and
so closing the apply passage to the
intermediate servo.
When '2' is selected from 'I '
apply pressure cannot reach the
intermediate servo until the low/
reverse servo apply pressure has
been exhausted at the 02 valve
allowing spring and throttle pressure to move the 2-3 backout valve
and the transition valve up and
open the intermediate servo apply

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS


Before removing any of the subassemblies, thoroughly clean the
outside of the transmission to
prevent dirt from entering the
mechanical parts. During the repair
operations, refer to Part 7-1 for
common adjustments and repairs or
cleaning and inspection procedures.
During the transmission disassembly or assembly operations,
ten thrust washers located between
the sub-assemblies must be removed
and installed. It is important that
each thrust washer be in the correct
position during the assembly operation.
To properly locate and identify
the thrust washers, the various
positions of the thrust washers are
shown in the illustrations and are
numbered 1 through 10. Number I
is the first thrust washer located at
the front pump. The last thrust
washer, No. 10, is located at the
parking pawl ring gear.

Thread Repair-Case. Thread


service kits may be purchased from
local suppliers. To repair a damaged
thread, the following procedures
should be carefully followed.
1. Drill out the damaged threads,
using the same drill size as the
thread OD. For example, use a -fginch drill for a -fk-18 thread.
2. Select the proper special tap
and tap the drilled hole. The tap is
marked for the size of the thread
being repaired. Thus, the special tap
marked -fs-18 will not cut the same
thread as a standard -fg-18 tap. lt
does cut a thread large enough to
accommodate the insert, and after
the insert is installed the original
thread size ( -fs-18) is restored.
3. Select the proper coil inserting
tool. These tools are marked with
the thread size being repaired. Place
the insert on the tool and adjust the
sleeve to the length of the insert
being used.
Press the insert against the face
of the tapped hole. Turn the tool
clockwise and wind the insert into
the hole until the insert is ! turn
below the face.
4. Working through the insert,
bend the insert tang straight up and
down until it breaks off at the notch.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

When diagnosing transmission problems, first refer to the diagnosis guide


for the detailed information on the
items that could be causing the problem.
The following preliminary checks
should be m!!tle before proceeding
with other diagnosis checks.

Aerated fluid will cause low control


pressure, and the aerated fluid may
be forced out the vent.
Check the transmission fluid level.
Low fluid level can affect the operation of the transmission, and may
indicate fluid leaks that could cause
transmission damage.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK

TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEAKAGE CHECKS

1. Make sure that the vehicle is


standing level. Then firmly apply the
parking brake.
2. Run the engine at normal idle
speed. If the transmission fluid is
cold run the engine at fast idle speed
(about 1200 rpm) until the fluid
reaches its normal operating temperature. When the fluid is warm,
slow the engine down to normal idle
speed.
3. Shift the selector lever through
all positions. and place the lever at
P. Do not turn off the engine during
the fluid level checks.
4. Clean all dirt from the transmission fluid dipstick cap before removing the dipstick from the filler tube.
S. Pull the dipstick out of the
tube, wipe it clean, and push it all
the way back into the tube. Be sure
it is properly seated.
6. Pull the dipstick out of the
tube again, and check the fluid level.
If necessary, add enough fluid to
the transmission through the filler
tube to raise the fluid level to the
F (full) mark on the dipstick. Do
not overfill the transmission. Install
the dipstick, making sure: it is fully
seated in the tube.

FLUID AERATION CHECK


A fluid level that is too high will
l:ause the fluid to become aerated :

Check the speedometer cable connection at the transmission. Replace


the rubber seal if necessary.
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. If leakage
is found here, install a new 0-ring.
Check the fluid lines and fittings
between the transmission and the
cooler in the radiator tank for looseness, wear, or damage. If leakage
cannot be stopped by tightening a
fitting, replace the defective parts.
Check the engine coolant in the
radiator. If transmission fluid is present in the coolant, the cooler in the
radiator is probably leaking.
The cooler can be further checked
for leaks by disconnecting the lines
from the cooler fittings and applying
50-75 psi air pressure to the fittings .
Remove the radiator cap to relieve
the pressure build at the exterior of
the oil cooler tank. If the cooler is
leaKing and will not hold this pressure
the cooler must be replaced . Cooler
replacement is described in the Cooling System Section of Group II.
If leakage is found at either the
downshift control lever shaft or the
manual lever shaft, replace either or

both seals.
Inspect the pipe plug on the left
side of the transmission case at the
front. If the plug shows leakage,
torque the plug to specifications. If
tightening does not stop the leaks. replace the plug.
When converter drain plugs leak,
remove drain plugs with a six-point
wrench . Coat the threads with FoMoCo Perfect Seal Sealing Compound or its equivalent, and install
the plugs. Torque the drain plugs to
specification. Fluid leakage from the
converter housing may be caused by
engine oil leaking past the rear main
bearing or from oil gallery plugs, or
power steering oil leakage from steering system. Be sure to determine the
exact cause of the leak before repair
procedures are started.
Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent
dyes premixed at the rate of I /2 teaspoon of dye powder to I /2 pint of
transmission fluid have proved helpful
in locating the source of the 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. however. must be used with 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
to facilitate locating the exact ca use
of the leakage . Leakage at the front
of -transmission, as evidenced by
fluid around the converter housing.
may have several sources. By ca reful

PART 7-3 F. M.X. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


observation, it is possible, in many
instances, to pinpoint the source of
the leak before removing the transmission from the vehicle. The paths
which the fluid. takes to reach the bottom of the converter housing are
shown in Fig. I.
I. Fluid leaking by the front pump
seal lip will tend to move along the
drive hub and onto the back of the
impeller housing. Except in the case
of a total seal failure, fluid leakage
by the lip of the seal will be deposited
on the inside of the converter housing
only, near the outside diameter of the
housing.
2. Fluid leakage by the outside
diameter of the seal and front pump
body will follow the same path which
leaks by the front pump seal.
3. Fluid that leaks by a front pump
to case bolt will be deposited on the
inside of the converter housing only.
Fluid will not be deposited on the
back of the converter.

FRONT PUMP SEAL LEAK

4. Leakage by the front pump to


case gasket may cause fluid to be
deposited inside the converter housing, or it may seep down between the
front of the case and converter housing. Fluid on the front of the case
above the pan gasket is evirlence that
the front pump to case gasket or seal
could be leaking.

S. Fluid leakage from the converter drain plugs will appear at the outside diameter of the converter on the
back face of the flywheel, and in the
converter housing only near the flywheel.
Engine oil leaks are sometimes improperly diagnosed as transmission
front pump seal leaks. The following
areas of possible leakage should also
be checked to determine if engine oil
leakage is causing the problem .
1. Leakage at the rocker arm cover
(valley cover) may allow oil to flow
over the converter housing or seep
down between the converter housing
and cylinder block causing oil to be
present in or at the bottom of the
converter housing.
2. Oil galley plug leaks will allow
oil to flow down the rear face of the
block to the bottom of the converter
housing.
3. Leakage by the crankshaft seal
will work back to the flywheel, and
then into the converter housing.
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.
The following procedures should
be used to determine the cause of the
leakage before any repairs are made.
1. Remove the transmission dipstick and note the color of the fluid.
Original factory fill fluid is dyed red
to aid in determining if leakage is
from the engine or transmission. Unless a considerable amount of makeup fluid has been added or the fluid
has been changed, the red color
should assist in pinpointing the leak.
Fluid used in the power steering system
is
a
red
dye. Since
road draft may cause leaking power
steering fluid to be pr-:sent on the
transmission, this leakage, if present,
should be eliminated before checking
the transmission for fluid leakage.
2. Remove the converter housing

cover. Clean off any fluid from the


top and bottom of the converter
housing, front of the transmission
case, and rear face of the engine and
engine oil pan . Clean the converter
area by washing with carbon tetrachloride or other suitable non-flammable solvent, and blow dry with
compressed air .
3. Wash out the converter housing, the front of the flywheel, and
the converter drain plugs. The converter housing may be washed out
using cleaning solvent and a squirttype oil can. Blow all washed areas
dry with compressed air.
4. Start and run the engine until
the transmission reaches iis normal
operating temperature . Observe the
back of the block and top of the converter housing for evidence of fluid

GROUP 7-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

leakage. Raise the vehicle on a hoist


and run the engine at fast idle, then at
engine idle, occasionally shifting to
the drive and reverse ranges to increase pressure within the transmission. Observe the front of the flywheel, back of the block (in as far
as possible), 3nd inside the converter
housing and front of the transmission
case. Run the engine until fluid leakage is evident and the probable source
of leakage can be determined .

CONVERTER LEAKAGE
CHECK
During the above fluid leakage
checks, if there are indications that
the welds on the torque converter are
leaking, the converter will have to be
removed and the following check
made before the unit is replaced.
A leak checking tool (Fig. 2) can
be made from standard parts. The
tool can be used to check all converters .
I. Install the plug in the converter
(Fig . 3) and expand it by tightening
the wing nut. Attach the safety
chains.
2. Install the air valve in one of the
drain plug holes.
3. Introduce air pressure into the
converter. Check the pressure with a
tire gauge and adjust it to 20 psi.
4. Place the converter in a tank
of water. Observe the weld areas for
bubbles . If no bubbles are observed,
it may be assumed that the welds are
not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK


Check and, if necessary, adjust the
engine idle speed, using the procedure given in Group 10.
If the idle speed is too low, the engine will run roughly . An idle speed
that is too high will cause the vehicle
to creep when the transmission is
shifted into gear and will cause
rough transmission engagement.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS


Correct manual linkage adjustment is necessary to position the
manual valve for proper fluid pressure
direction to the different transmission
components.
Improperly
adjusted
manual linkage may cause crossleakage and subsequent transmission

failure. Refer to Linkage Adjustments in


7-22 for detailed
manual linkage adjustment procedures.

4. Adjust the engine idle speed to


the specified rpm. If the engine idle
speed cannot be brought within limits by adjustment at the carburetor
idle adjustment screw, check the
throttle and downshift linkage for a
binding condition. If the linkage is
satisfactory, check for vacuum leaks
in the transmission diaphragm unit
(Fig. 6) and its connecting tubes and
hoses. Check all other vacuum operated units (such as the power brake)
for vacuum leaks.
VACUUM UNIT CHECK

When the vacuum diaphragm unit


is operating properly and the downshift linkage is adjusted properly, all
the transmission shifts (automatic and
kickdown) should occur within the

road speed limits specified in


page 7-126
If the shifts do iiot occur within
limits or the transmission slips during
shift point, the following procedure
is suggested to determine engine,
transmission, linkage, vacuum diaphragm unit or valve body problems.

To check the vacuum unit for diaphragm leakage, remove the unit
from the: transmission . Use a distributor tester equipped with a vacuum
pump (Fig. 6). Set the regulator
knob so that the vacuum gauge reads
18 inches with the end of the vacuum
hose blocked off.
Then connect the ~acuum hose to
the transmission vacuum unit. If the
gauge sti II reads 18 inches, the vacuum unit diaphragm is not leaking.

With the engine idling, disconnect
lhe hose from the diaphragm unit
and check the engine manifold vacuum . Hold a thumb over the end of
the hose and check for vacuum. If
the engine speeds up when the hose
is disconnected and slows down as
the thumb is held against the end of
the hose, the vacuum source is satisfactory .
Stop the engine, and remove the
diaphragm unit and the diaphragm

VACUUM DIAPHRAGM
ADJUSTMENT
The vacuum diaphragm fitted to
the F.M.X. transmission is adjustable. This diaphragm should not be
interchanged with C4 or C6 transmissions.
The vacuum diaphragm assembly
has an adjusting screw in the vacuum
hose connecting tube (Fig. 8 ).
The inner end of the screw bears

against the vacuum diaphragm spring.
All readings slightly high or all
readings slightly low may indicate

correct a particular shift condition.
For example, if the pressure at
10 inches of vacuum was 130 psi and
the pressure at 1.0 inch of vacuum
was 190 psi, and upshifts and downshifts were harsh, a diaphragm adjustment to reduce the diaphragm
assembly spring force would be
required.
If the pressure readings are low,
an adjustment to increase diaphragm
spring force is required .
To increase control pressure, tur
the adjusting screw in clockwise .T

Identification STALL TEST

Start the engine to allow it to reach


its normal temperature. Apply both
the parking and service brakes while
making tests.
The stall test is made in D, 2, I or
R, at full throttle to check engine
performance, converter clutch operation or installation, and the holding
ability of the forward clutch, reversehigh clutch and low-reverse or intermediate band and the gear train oneway clutch. While making this test,
do not hold the throttle open for more
than five seconds at a time. Then
move the, selector lever to Neutral
and run the engine at 1000 rpm for
about 15 seconds to cool the converter
before making the next test. If the
engine speed as recorded by the tachometer exceeds the maximum limits
specified in Fig. 10, release the accelerator immediately because clutch or
band slippage is indicated.
ST ALI. SPEED TOO HIGH

If stall speed exceeds specifications, band or clutch slippage is indicated, depending on transmission
selector lever position. Excessive
engine rpm only in D, 2, and 1 indicates forward clutch slippage as
shown in Fig. 10. Excessive engine
rpm only in R indicates either
reverse-high clutch or low-reverse

band slippage. Excessive engine rpm


only in D indicates gear train oneway clutch slippage.

With the transmission in third gear
and road speed over 38 mph, the
transmission should shift to second
gear when the selector lever is moved
from D to 1. When the same manual
shift is made below about 38 mph,
the transmission will shift from third
to first. This check wil determine
if the governor pressure and

STALL SPEED TOO LOW


When the stall test speeds are low
and the engine is properly tuned, converter stator clutch problems are indicated. A road test must be performed
to determine the exact cause of the
trouble.
If the stall test speeds are 300 to
400 rpm below the specifications
shown in Fig. 10, and the vehicle
cruises properly but has very poor
acceleration, the converter stator
clutch is slipping.
If the stall test speeds are 300 to
400 rpm below the specified values,
and the car drags at cruising speeds
and acceleration is poor, the stator
clutch could be installed backwards.
Remove the converter and check the
stator clutch as described in Cleaning
and Inspection.
When the stall test shows normal
speeds, the acceleration is good, but
the vehicle drags at cruising speeds,
the difficulty is due to a seized stator
assembly. If the stator is defective,
replace the converter.
SHIFT POINT CHECKS

Check the mimimum throttle upshifts in D. The transmission should


start in first gear. shift to second, and
then shift to third, within the shift
points specified in the specification
section.
While the transmission is 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 30 mph in third gear. The
shift should occur within the limits
specified in the specification section.
When the selector lever is at 2. the
transmission can operate only in

shift control valves are functioning properly.


During the shift point check operation, if the transmission does not
shift within specifications or certain
gear ratios cannot be obtained, refer
to the diagnosis guide to resolve the
problem.
AIR PRESSURE CHECKS

A NO DRIVE condition can exist,


even with correct transmission fluid
pressure, because "f inoperative
clutches or bands. Erratic shifts
could be caused by a stuck governor
valve. The inoperative units can .be
located through a series of checks by
subsituting air pressure for the fluid
pressure 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. A
NO DRIVE condition at D may be
caused by an inoperative forward
clutch or one-way clutch. When there
is no drive in I, the difficulty could be
caused by improper functioning of the
forward clutch or low-reverse band
and the one-way clutch. Failure to
drive in reverse range could be caused
by a malfunction of the reverse-high
clutch or low-reverse band.
To make the air pressure checks,
loosen the oil pan bolts and lower one
edge of the oil pan to drain the transmission fluid . Remove the fluid pan and
the control valve body assembly. The
inoperative units can be located by
introducing air pressure into the
transmission case passages leading to
the clutches, servos, and governor

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL


CHECK
The transmission fluid level should
be checked using the following procedure.
I. Make sure that the vehicle is
standing level; then firmly apply the

parking brake.
2. Run the engine at normal idle
speed. If the transmission fluid is
cold, run the engine at fast idle
speed (about 1200 rpm) until the
fluid reaches its normal operating
temperature. When the fluid is warm,
slow the engine down to normal idle

moving the dipstick from the filler
tube.
5. Pull the dipstick out of the tube,
wipe it clean, and push it all the way
back into the tube.
6. Pull the dipstick out of the tube
again, and check the fluid level. If
necessary, add enough fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube
to raise the fluid level to the F (full)
mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill
the transmission.

TRANSMISSION FLUID DRAIN


AND REFILL
Normal maintenance and lubrication requirements do not necessitate
periodic automatic transmission fluid
changes.
If a major failure, such as a clutch
band, bearing, etc., has occurred in
the transmission, it will have to be
removed for service. At this time
the couverter, transmission cooler
and cooler lines must be thoroughly
flushed to remove any dirt.
When filling a dry transmission
and converter, install five quarts of
fluid. Start the engine, shift the selector lever as in step 7 below, and
check and add fluid as necessary.
Following are the procedures for
partial drain and refill due to in-vehicle repair operation.
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist or
jack stands.
2. Place a drain pan under the
transmission.
3. Loosen the pan attaching bolts
to drain the fluid from the transmission.
4. After the fluid has drained to
the level of the pan flange, remove
the rest of the pan bolts working
from the rear and both sides of the
pan to allow it to drop and drain
slowly.
5. When the fluid has stopped
draining from the transmission, remove and thoroughly clean the pan
and the screen. Discard the pan

EJ

gasket.
6. Place a new gasket on the pan,
and install the pan on the transmission.
7. Add three quarts of fluid to the
transmission through the filler tube.
8. Run the engine at idle speed
for about two minutes, and then run
it at fast idle speed (about 1200 rpm)
until it reaches its normal op~rating
temperature. Do not race the engine.
9. Shift the selector lever through
all the positions, place it at P, and
check the fluid level. If necessary,
add enough fluid to the transmission
to raise the level to the F (full) mark
on the dipstick. Do not overfill the
transmission.

OIL COOLER FLUSHING


PROCEDURE
When a clutch or band failure or
other internal trouble. has occurred
in the transmission, any metal particles or clutch plate or band material that may have been carried into
the cooler should be removed from
the system by flushing the cooler and
lines before the transmission is put
back into service. In no case should
an automatic transmission having a
clutch or band failure or other internal trouble resulting in fluid contamination, be put back into service
without first flushing the transmission
oil cooler.
1. After installing a new or rebuilt automatic transmission and
converter assembly in the vehicle,
do not connect the cooler return line
to the transmission. Place the transmission selector lever in the P (park)
position and connect the cooler inlet
(converter out) line to the transmission. Place a pan under the end of
the cooler return line that will hold
transmission fluid . Do not start the
engine.
2. Install 5 quarts of automatic
transmission fluid meeting Ford
Specifications.
3. Start the engine and allow it to

7-89

run at normal idle speed for 3 minutes with the selector lever in p
(park) position . Stop the engine and
add additional transmission fluid required to complete total fill. Start the
engine and allow it to run at normal
idle speed.
4. Allow approximately two quarts
of transmission fluid to drain into the
pan placed under the end of the cooler return line.
5. If the fluid does not run clean
after draining two quarts of it
through the cooler, shut off the engine and add two additional quarts
of transmission fluid .
6. Repeat steps 4 through 6 until
the transmission fluid flowing out of
the cooler return line is clean .
7. If there is no fluid flow or the
fluid does not flow freely, shut off
the engine and disconnect both cooler lines from the transmission and
cooler.
8. Use an air hose with not more
than I00 psi air pressure to reverse
flush the cooler lines and the cooler .
After reverse flushing, connect both
lines at the cooler and the cooler inlet line (converter out) to the transmission .
9. Start the engine and check the
fluid flow . If the transmission fluid
flows freely, proceed with steps 4
through 7. If there is no fluid flow
check for pinched cooler lines. If
the flow is restricted, replace cooler
lines andjor the radiator.
10. Shut off engine, remove the
temporary plug from the cooler return line fitting on the transmission
case and connect the cooler return
line to the transmission. Check the
transmission fluid level as indicated
under heading Transmission Fluid
Level Check . Add or remove transmission fluid as required until the
proper fluid level is obtained on the
dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL THE
TRANSMISSION .
11. Do nJt attempt to correct
cooler or cooler line leaks by closing off the lines.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Clean the parts with suitable solvent and use moisture-free air to dry
off all the parts and clean out oil
passages.
The composition clutch plates,
bands and synthetic seals should not
be cleaned in a vapor degreaser or

with any type of detergent solution.


To clean these parts, wipe them off
with a lint-free cloth. New clutch
plates or bands should be soaked in
transmission oil for fifteen minutes
before the plates or bands are
assembled.

CLEANING
CONVERTER CLEANING
The converter cannot be disassembled for cleaning. If there is reason
to believe that the converter has an

excessive amount of foreign material


in it, the following cleaning procedure
should be used:
1. Thoroughly clean the outside
surfaces of the converter. Remove
both drain plugs and drain as much
fluid as possible.
2. Check the converter as detailed
under Inspection.
3. Place the converter on the cleaning machine with the drain holes facing downward.
4. Flush the inside diameter of the
converter hub for one minute using
the equipment jog switch to control
the pump pressure.
5. Install the filler cap on the converter. Place the converter on the
mounting pad with the drain holes
facing upward.
6. Connect the pump pressure line
to the filler cap. Fill the converter to
the drain hole level, then install the
filler plugs finger tight.
7. Turn the converter over on the
mounting pad so that the drain plugs
are facing downward and are 90 degrees to the cross-bar. Secure the converter with the cross-bar.
8. Remove both drain plugs from
the converter, then start the shaker
and flushing pump motors and allow
it to operate for seven mmutes in
this manner.
9. Shut off the flushing pump and
allow the shaker to operate until the
converter is nearly dry of cleaning
fluid, then shut off the shaker motor.

INSPECTION
TURBINE AND STATOR END
PLAY CHECK
1. Insert the tool (Fig. 12) into
the converter pump drive hub until
it bottoms.
2. Install the guide over the converter pump drive hub.
3. Expand the split fiber bushing
in the turbine spline by tightening
the adjusting nut. Tighten the adjusting nut until the tool is securely
locked into the spline.
4. Attach a dial indicator to the
tool (Fig. 13). Position the indicator
button on a converter pump drive
hub, and set the dial face at 0 (zero).
5. Lift the tool upward as far as
it will go and note the indicator
reading. The indicator reading is the
total end play which the turbine and
stator share. If the total end play ex
ceeds the limits specified in Part 7-S,
replace the converter unit.
STATOR ONE-WAY CLUTCH
CHECK
1. Loosen the adjusting nut to free
the split bushing, and then remove
the tool from the converter.
2. Install the stator outer race
holding tool in one of the four holes
provided in the stator (Fig. 13).
3. Insert the tool in the converter
pump drive hub. As the tool enters
the converter, the pins will engage
the stator clutch inner race spline.
4. Place a torque wrench on the
tool (Fig. 13). The tool (and stator
inner race) should turn freely clockwise from the pump drive hub inside
the converter). It should lock up and
hold a 10 ft-lb pull when the wrench
is turned counterclockwise. Try the
clutch for lockup and hold in at least
five different locations around the
converter.
5. If the clutch fails to lock up
and hold a I0 ft-lb torque, replace
the converter unit.
STATOR TO IMPELLER
INTERFERENCE CHECK
I. Position the front pump as-

sembly on a bench with the spline


end of the stator shaft pointing up
(Fig.14).
2. Mount a converter on the
pump so that the splines on the oneway clutch inner race engage the
mating splines of the stator support,
and the converter hub engages the
pump drive gear.
3. While holding the pump stationary, try to rotate the converter counterclockwise. The converter should rotate freely without any signs of interference or scraping within the converter assembly.
4. If there is an indication of
scraping, the trailing edges of the
stator blades may be interfering with
the leading edges of the impeller
blades. In such cases, replace the
converter.
STATOR TO TURBINE
INTERFERENCE CHECK
1. Position the converter on the
bench front side down.
2. Install a front pump assembly
to engage the mating splines of the
stator support and stator, and pump
drive gear lugs.
3. Install the input shaft, engaging the splines with the turbine hub
(Fig. 15).
4. While holding the pump sta
tionary, attempt to rotate the turbine
with the input shaft. The turbine
should rotate freely in both direc
tions without any signs of interference or scraping noise.
5. If interference exists, the sta
tor front thrust washer may be worn,
allowing the stator to hit the turbine.
In such cases, the converter must be
replaced.
The converter crankshaft pilot
should be checked for nicks or damaged surfaces that could cause interference when installing the converter into the crankshaft. Check the
converter front pump drive hub for
nicks or sharp edges that would
damage the pump seal.

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION
Figure 22 shows the location of
the converter, front pump, clutches,
bands, gear train and most of the
internal parts used in the FMX
Transmission.
The identification tag (Fig. 23) on
an F MX transmission is attached
under the lower right-hand extension
to case bolt. The tag includes the
model prefix and suffix, assembly
part number and the build date code.
The tag must be kept with the
individual transmission it was originally installed on. If the tag was
removed during disassembly, reinstall it on the same unit.
The FMX transmission is a three
speed unit capable of providing automatic upshifts and downshifts through
the three forward gear ratios, and also
capable of providing manual selection
of first and second gears.
The transmission consists essentially
of a torque converter, planetary gear
train, two multiple disc clutches and a
hydraulic control system (Fig. 24).

3. Check the servo spring and servo
band strut(s) for distortion.
4. Inspect the cover seal and gasket cover sealing surface for defects.

7-95

hydraulic

torque

converter

(Fig. 25) consists of an impeller


(pump), a turbine, and a stator. All
these parts are enclosed and operate
in a fluid-filled housing.
When the engine is running, the
fluid in the torque converter flows
from the impeller to the turbine and
back to the impeller through the
stator. This flow produces a maximum torque increase of about 2 to
I when the turbine is stalled. When
enough torque is developed by the
impeller, the turbine begins to rotate,
turning the turbine shaft.
The converter torque multiplication gradually tapers off as turbine
speed approaches impeller speed, and
it becomes I to I when the turbine is
being driven at 9110 impeller speed.
This is known as the coupling point.
When the turbine is rotating at less
than 9I 10 impeller speed, the converter is multiplying torque. The fluid
leaving the turbine blades strikes the
front face of the stator blades. These
blades are held stationary by the action of a one-way clutch (Fig. 25) as
long as the fluid is directed against
the front face of the blades.
When the turbine rotates faster
than 9I I 0 impeller speed the converter no longer multiplies torque. The
fluid is directed against the back face
of the stator blades. As the one-way

clutch permits the stator to rotate


only in the direction of impeller rotation, the stator begins to turn with
the impeller and turbine. The converter operates as an efficient fluid coupling as long as the turbine speed
remains greater than 9I 10 impeller
speed.
A constant flow of fluid into and
out of the converter is maintained.
Some of the fluid coming out of the
converter is forced through a cooler
located in the radiator tank.
PLANETARY GEAR TRAIN,
CLUTCHES, BANDS AND
SERVOS

Planetary Gear Train


The planetary gear train consists
of a primary sun gear, secondary sun
gear, primary and secondary pinions which are held in a common carrier, and an internal gear to which
the transmission output shaft is attached (Fig. 26).

Front Clutch
The front clutch drive plates (Fig.

primary sun gear shaft.
The front clutch is operated by
fluid pressure against the clutch piston. The piston moves against a disc
spring which acts as a lever to lock
the drive and driven plates together.
When the clutch is applied, the primary sun gear is locked to and driv- .
en by the turbine shaft. The piston is
returned to the release position by
the disc spring when the fluid pressure is removed (Fig. 26). A check
ball is installed in the front clutch
piston to permit fluid exhaust, when
the piston is in its released position.
In neutral, the front clutch drum
and steel plates are being driven
while the composition plates are
stationary. In reverse, the clutch is not
applied, since the steel and composition plates must rotate in opposite
directions .

clutch drive plates are splined to the


front clutch drum and the driven
plates are connected to the rear clutch
drum and secondary sun gear. When
the rear clutch is applied (in the
reverse and third gear ratios) the
secondary sun gear is driven. The piston is returned to the released position
by the release spring (Fig. 27).
In neutral, the rear clutch composition plates are being driven while the
steel plates are free . In second gear,
the composition plates are driven, but
the steel plates are held stationary. In
first gear, the composition plates are

driven clockwise at engine speed while


the steel plates are driven counterclockwise.
Front Band and Servo

One end of the front band, which


encircles the rear clutch drum, is anchored to the transmission case, and
the other end is connected to the front
servo (Fig. 28).
Fluid pressure moves the front servo
piston against the inner end of the
front servo actuating lever. Force is
transmitted through a strut between
the outer end of the lever and the end
of the band to tighten the band around

Rear Clutch

The rear clutch (Fig.27) is operated


by fluid pressure against the clutch
piston. Movement of the piston compresses the release spring and locks
the multiple-disc clutch. The rear

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
FRONT PUMP

GROUP 7-AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION


SYSTEM

The front pump (Fig. 24), driven by


the converter impeller, delivers fluid
pressure to the hydraulic control system whenever the engine runs.
The pump delivers fluid pressure
to the control pressure regulator and
control valve body. A regulated control pressure is available at the control valve body whenever the engine
is running.
CONTROL PRESSURE AND
COMPENSATOR PRESSURE

Control pressure is regulated by


the spring-loaded control pressure
regulator valve (Fig. 24). It is adjusted
to engine torque, road speed, and selector lever position.
To accomplish this, compensator
pressure under various conditions is
adjusted by throttle pressure (engine
torque), governor pressure (road
speed), or selector lever position . Compensator pressure, in turn, adjusts control pressure.
CONVERTER PRESSURE

Like control pressure, converter


pressure is regulated by the convertor pressure regulator valve spring
and is adjusted to driving conditions
by compensator pressure and selector lever positions.
MANUAL VALVE

Line pressure is delivered to the


manual valve through a single passage; the valve is positioned in the
valve body b,y the manual linkage,
according to the mode of operation
desired. Fluid is distributed from the
manual valve through the following
passages (Fig. 24).
l. D
2. D-2-1
3. 2-1-R-P
4. (Lower) 1-R-P
5. 1-R-P

The D passage supplies fluid to the


downshift valve, and through the 1-2
shift shuttle ball check valve to the
1-2 shift valve . In addition, fluid is
directed to the 2-3 shift orifice and
through it to the 2-3 shift valve and
to the bottom of the rear servo lock
out valve.
The D-2-1 passage directs apply
fluid to the forward clutch, applying
it, and to the upper end of the transition valve, to the governor valve and
to the compensator cut back valve.
The 2-1-R-P passage supplies fluid
to the upper valley of the 1-2 shift
valve, and passes through the 1-2 shift
valve bore to the adjacent ends of the
1-2 shift accumulator and lock-out
valves.
The 1-R-P passage supplies fluid to
the valley of the 2-1 scheduling valve,
and through the 1-2 shift shuttle ball
check valve to the 1-2 shift valve.
The R passage supplies fluid to the
left valley of the throttle valve and
to the upper valley of the 2-3 shift
valve.
THROTTLE PRESSURE

Throttle pressure adjusts the transmission operation to engine torque.


Throttle pressure is produced from
control pressure by the throttle valve.
The throttle valve is controlled by a
spnng-loaded vacuum diaphragm unit
mounted on the rear of the transmission case (Fig. 24).
The vacuum diaphragm is actuated
by the engine intake manifold vacuum
working against spring pressure. When
the vacuum is higher than 16 inches
the diaphragm moves against spring
pressure and moves the push rod away
from the throttle valve to cut off the
throttle pressure regulation. As the engine throttle is advanced, manifold
vacuum will fall below 16 inches. As
the vacuum drops, the spring-loaded
d-iaphragm moves the push rod to open
the throttle valve and increase the
throttle pressure.

6. R
7. Exhaust
The D passage is charged in D
range only .
The D-2-1 passage is charged in
Drive range, manual Second gear (2
range) and manual low gear (I range).
The 2-1-R-P passages are charged
in 2, I, Reverse range and Park.
The 1-R-P passages are charged in
I, Reverse and Park.
The R passage is charged in R range
only .

THROTTLE PRESSURE
BOOST VALVE

To compensate for the slight manifold vacuum changes with throttle


movements beyond about 50 degrees
carburetor valve opening, a throttle
pressure boost valve comes into
operation. At 51 psi throttle pressure,
the spring-loaded boost valve(Fig. 24)
comes into balance. Throttle pressure
below 5 I psi cannot move the boost

valve against spring force plus throttle pressure force acting at the boost
valve plug. Below 51 psi, therefore,
throttle pressure will flow through
the boost valve without interference.
Throttle pressure above 51 psi will
move the boost valve to the left (Fig.
24). This movement will first cut off
throttle pressure flow to the shift
valves and the coasting control valve,
and it will then open a passage to permit the new boosted throttle pressure
to flow to the shift valves and the
coasting control valve. Throttle pressure will continue to work against the
right end of the boost valve. For each
pound of increase in throttle pressure
(above 51 psi), the boosted throttle
pressure will increase about three
pounds.
GOVERNOR PRESSURE
Governor pressure is produced from
front clutch control pressure by the
valve in the governor body which rotates at output shaft speed .
The governor valve is a balanced
valve. It is balanced between centrifugal force acting on the governor
valve plus governor spring force and
governor pressure force (Fig. 24).Governor pressure is, therefore, proportion
alto road speed.
TRANSITION VALVE

The transition valve controls the


front servo apply pressure flow.
In the D range, the transition valve
blocks front servo apply pressure flow
until the 1-2 valve is closed by governor pressure.
In the 2 range, the transition valve
permits front servo apply pressure to
flow through it all all times. The spring
modifies the action of the valve to improve the quality of the manual 1 ~2
upshift.
1-2 SHIFT VALVE

The 1-2 shift valve controls the


1-2 upshift in the D range . On the
2-1 downshift, either manual (shift
to I) or kickdown, the 1-2 shift valve
controls the shift only within the road
speed range permitted by the inhibitor
valve.
The 1-2 valve is held in its rest
(open) position by a spring. It is
closed by governor pressure. Under
various driving conditions, governor
pressure is opposed by spring force
plus reduced throttle and reduced
boosted throttle pressures, and control
pressure.

PART 7-3- F. M.X. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


REAR SERVO
LOCKOUT VALVE
The six passages that connect to
the rear servo lockout valve are pressurized as follows:
1. Rear Clutch Apply Pressure
2. Exhaust
3. Rear Servo Apply Pressure
4. 1-RP Pressure From Manual
Valve
5. Rear Servo Apply Pressure
6. D Pressure From Manual Valve
When the transmission is operating
in D range, line pressure from the
manual valve is directed through the
2-lshift orifice ball check valve to the
bottom of the rear servo lockout
valve; this pressure holds the valve in
the upward position against the force
of front clutch apply pressure and
spring effort at the top of the valve.
While the valve is in this position, line
pressure from the D passage of the
manual valve is prevented from pressurizing the rear servo apply circuit.
When the selector lever is in the R
position, R fluid from the manual
valve is directed through the 2-3 shift
valve to the area differential at the
lower valley of the rear servo lockout
valve; the force resulting from this
pressure assists the spring in keeping
the valve downward in its bore, so
that servo apply pressure can pass
through the bore and pressurize the
servo apply circuit.
THROTTLE REDUCING
VALVE
Before throttle pressure or boosted
throttle pressure is admitted to the
front face of the 23 shift valve, plug
and 1-2 shift valve, it must open a
passage past the spring-loaded throttle reducing valve.
Approximately 20 psi throttle pressure is required to move the valve
against its spring far enough to open
the passage. Once past the valve,
throttle pressure will work on the
spring end of the valve and exert a
force to cut off throttle pressure flow
past the valve. In this case, the valve
becomes a balanced valve, wherein the
valve is balanced between throttle
pressure force on the one end and
spring force plus throttle pressure
force on the other end. The pressure
past the valve will, there ore, be reduced.
2-3 SHIFT VALVE
The 2-3 shift valve controls the

2-3 upshift and the 3-2 downshift. The


valve is held in its rest (closed) position by springs. It is opened by governor pressure. Under various driving
conditions, governor pressure is opposed by spring force plus throttle
or boosted throttle pressures, and control pressure.
INHIBITOR VALVE
The inhibitor valve prevents a 2-1
downshift, either manual or kickdown,
at excessive road speeds .
The inhibitor valve is held in its
rest (open) position by a spring. It is
closed by governor pressure . Under
various driving conditions, governor
pressure is opposed by spring force
plus control pressure.
1-2 SHIFT ACCUMULATOR
AND LOCKOUT VALVES
Four passages connect to the bore of
the 1-2 shift accumulator and lockout
valves ; from left to right the first passage is connected to direct-reverse
clutch apply pressure through the 3-2
kickdown control valve and its orifice;
the second is connected to the release
side of the intermediate servo, the
third is connected . to the upper valley
of the 1-2 shift valve and the fourth is
connected directly to direct-reverse
clutch apply pressure. The 1-2 shift
accumulator and lockout va lves control the quality of the 1-2 shift by
regulating the servo apply force as
follows :
To make a complete servo application, apply pressure must stroke the
servo piston against the force of the
release spring, and at the same time
force out the fluid in the release side
of the servo. Fluid from the release
side of the servo unseats the check
ball to bypass the intermediate servo
release orifice and is then routed to
the valley of the 1-2 shift accumulator
valve. As pressure builds up in the
apply side of the servo causing the
servo piston to stroke toward the apply
position, a similiar pressure build-up is
transmitted through the piston to the
release circuit and acts on the area
differential of the 1-2 shift accumulator valve ; this will force the valve to
the left against its spring until the
left-hand passage is uncovered, allowing the fluid in the release side of the
servo to escape to exhaust at the
manual valve. In this way servo a pply
force is reduced to the required level
by regulating a back pressure on the
release side of the servo.
When the transmission upshifts to

7-101

high gear, direct and reverse clutch


apply pressure is routed to the righthand passage behind the 1-2 shift accumulator lockout va lve, a nd through
the check valve and 3-2 kickdown
control valve to the valley of the 1-2
shift accumulator valve ; the entire
shift accumulator and lockout valve
train moves to the left a nd is held
there insuring that the release sid e of
the intermediate servo will be pressurized whenever the transmiss ion is
in high gear. In addition, should the
accelerator pedal be depressed to
force a kickdown into second gea r,
the shift accumulator va lve will remain to the left so that clutch a pply/
servo release fluid ca n flow without
obstruction to the 3-2 kickdown control valve, where the exha ust of this
fluid is controlled .
When the transmission selector
lever is moved from D to 2 or I to
provide engine braking, line pressure
from the 2-1 - R-P passage is directed
through the 1-2 shift valve to the
third port of the 1-2 shift accumulator valve at the end adjacent to the
lockout valve. The force produced by
this pressure acting on the end of the
valves moves the valve to the left, keeping it in that position. This insures
that servo release pressure will be
quickly exhausted through the direct
and reverse clutch circuit, permitting
an immediate band application.
DOWNSHIFT VALVE
Three passages intersect the bore of
the downshift valve. The left-hand passage is vented to exhaust ; the middle
passage is connected to the adjacent
ends of the 2-3 throttle reducing valve
and 2-3 shift delay valves and to the
inhibitor valve. The third passage of
the downshift valve is connected to the
D passage of the manual valve.
When the car is in intermediate or
high gears (G:ive range) and the accelerator pedal is floored, to force
the downshift valve in against spring
force, the '!?.lvc seals off the exhaust
port and rcat.:s line pressure from the
manual valve to the inhibitor valve
and to the adjacent ends of the 2-3
throttle reducing. valve and 2-3 shift
delay valve, tending to move the 2-3
shift valve upward in its bore. If the
force due to governor pressure acting
on the area differential at the lower
valley of the 2-3 shift valve is sufficiently low the valve will move upward and the transmission will engage
second gear. At the same time, downshift pressure is directed from the

7-102

GROUP 7-AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION

2-3 shift valve to the bottom of the


1-2 shift valve, where it tends to force
a downshift into low gear.
3-2 DOWNSHIFT
CONTROL VALVE
The 3-2 downshift control valve
operates in the front servo release
pressure passage between the 2-3
valve and the front servo . A check
valve is installed parallel with the
downshift valve in the same passage
so that release pressure flow to the
servo by-passes it.
The downshift valve controls the
rate of front servo release pressure
exhaust (flow from the servo), and
thereby the rate of front band application.
The 3-2 downshift control valve:
eliminates the possibility of a run-
away condition in the transmission
during a 3-2 kickdown at low car
speed (about 25 mph). It also eliminates the possibility of a tie-up during
the same shift at higher speeds (50
mph and more) .
2-1 SCHEDULING VALVE
Four ports intersect the 2-1 scheduling valve bore. From left to right, the
first port is vented to exhaust, the second is connected to the spring end of
the inhibitor valve through the inhibitor shuttle ball check valve, the third
is connected to the 1-R-P passage of
the manual valve and the right-hand
port is vented to exhaust.
When the selector lever is moved
to I to force a downshift from high
or intermediate gear to low, 1-R-P
fluid pressure is directed to the third
port of the 2-1 scheduling valve. The
force due to line pressure acting on
the differential area moves the valve
to the left, compressing the spring.
As the valve moves to the left it seals
off the line pressure port and uncovers
the exhaust passage at the left end of
the valve, allowing some of the fluid
in the differential pocket to escape to
exhaust. The loss of pressure in the
differential pocket allows the spring
to force the valve back to the right,
where it is again charged with line
pressure. The pressure resulting from
the regulating cycle is routed to the
spring end of the inhibitor valve, where
it assists the inhibitor valve spring in
tending to force the valve upward
against the force due to governor pressure acting on top of the valve.
If vehicle speed and resulting governor pressure on the upper end of the
inhibitor valve is low enough the

downward force on the valve will be


less than the upward effort resulting
from spring force plus 2-1 scheduling
pressure on the bottom of the valve
and the inhibitor valve will move up
in its bore, opening the necessary
passages to permit a downshift into
low gear.
2-3 SHIIT ORIFICE BYPASS BALL CHECK VALVE
Line pressure from the D passage of
the manual valve is directed through
the 2-3 shift orifice to the 2-3 shift
valve. When the 2-3 shift valve moves
downward in its bore, directing D
fluid from the 2-3 shift orifice into the
direct and reverse clutch apply circuit,
the 2-3 shift orifice check ball seats on
the bypass hole, causing the clutch
apply pressure to be orificed. However
when the transmission selector lever
is moved to 2 to force a downshift to
second gear, the check ball unseats
from the bypass hole, allowing direct
and reverse clutch apply pressure to
exhaust at the manual valve without
further obstruction.
1-2 SHIIT VALVE SHUTTLE
BALL CHECK VALVE
Fluid is directed from the D and
1-R-P passages of the manual valve
to the lower valley of the 1-2 shift
valve. When the D passage is pressurized the 1-R-P passage is open to exhaust at the manual valve, and vice
versa. Therefore a shuttle ball check
valve is provided in the line connecting to the lower valley of the 1-2 shift
v.elve. When the transmission is operaaung in D range the shuttle ball seals
off the 1-R-P passage, preventing D
pressure from exhausting at the manual valve. Similarly, when the transmission is in I, 2 or P ranges the
shuttle ball seals off the D passage,
preventing the loss of 1-R-P fluid at
the manual valve.
INHIBITOR VALVE
SHUTTLE BALL CHECK
VALVE
The spring end of the inhibitor
valve is pressurized at various times
by the following pressures:
I. D fluid and 1-R-P fluid from
1-2 shift circuit shuttle ball check .
2. 2-1 scheduling pressure from 2-1
scheduling valve.
A shuttle ball check valve is provided in the passage connecting to the
spring end of the inhibitor valve. When

pressure from the 1-2 shift valve shuttle ball check is directed to the inhibi
tor valve, the inhibitor valve shuttle
ball check seals off the passage to the
2-1 scheduling valve, preventing loss
of pressure through the 2-1 scheduling
valve. Similarly when 2-1 scheduling
pressure is present, the shuttle ball
seals off the passage connecting to
the 1-2 shift valve shuttle ball check .
HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-NEUTRAL
The manual valve at N selector
'lever position blocks the fluid flow
to both clutches and both bands (Fig.
24). With no fluid pressure in the
clutches or servos, the clutches and
bands are released by spring pressure,
preventing power being transmitted
to the transmission output shaft.
Neutral operation of the transmission keeps control pressure up to its
proper value, maintains a full torque
converter, lubricates the transmission,
and maintains a flow of fluid through
the cooling system.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-D, FIRST GEAR
When the selector lever is moved
from N to D, the manual valve opens
three passages to control pressure.
From left to right, the first passage
admits control pressure to supply the
2-3 valve and close the rear servo lockout valve . The second passage admits
control pressure to apply the front
clutch and supply the governor and
transition valve. The third passage admits control pressure to flow through
the 1-2 and inhibitor valves and close
the transition valve.
With the front clutch applied, .the
primary sun gear tries to drive the
pinion carrier in a counterclockwise
direction . Counterclockwise rotation
at the pinion carrier is prevented by
the one-way clutch . With the front
clutch applied and the pinion carrier
held, the transmission is in first gear.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-D, SECOND GEAR
The 1-2 shift occurs when governor pressure force on the 1-2 shift
valve overcomes shift plug pressure
and spring forces . The 1-2 valve moves
inward, exhausting the fluid which
holds the transition valve closed. The
transition valve opens and admits control pressure to apply the front band .
The front clutch remains on, and

PART 7-3-F. M . X. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION


the front band applies to put the
transmission in second gear.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-D, THIRD GEAR
The 2-3 shift occurs when governor pressure force overcomes spring
and shift plug pressure force at the
2-3 shift valve. When the shift valve
opens, control pressure flows through
it to apply the rear clutch and release
the front band. With both clutches
applied, the transmission is in third
gear.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-l, SECOND GEAR
When the manual valve is at the 2
selector lever position, control pressure to the 1-2 shift valve is cut off.
This condition permits control pressure to flow through the transition
valve to apply the front band.
With the front clutch and the front
band applied, the transmission operates in second gear.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-D RANGE,
3-l KICKDOWN

II

When the accelerator pedal is depressed through the detent, the downshift valve opens a passage that admits control pressure behind the 2-3
shift plug to oppose governor pressure.
If the transmission is in high and road
speed is below 47-69 mph, the 2-3
valve will be forced closed against
governor pressure . When the 2-3 valve
closes, control pressure which has
been applying the rear clutch and releasing the front band is exhausted.
The apply pressure that was in the
front servo in third gear is now free
to apply the front band. As soon as
the front band applies, the transmission is in second gear.

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-I, FIRST GEAR
In I range, first gear, control pressure is directed by the manual valve
to apply the front clutch and rear
band . Control pressure is also directed by the manual valve to lock the 1-2
and 2-3 shift valves in their closed positions. Since neither shift valve can
move, the transmission will stay in
first gear regardless of throttle position or road speed .

7-103

HYDRAULIC CONTROL
SYSTEM-REVERSE
When the manual valve is shifted
into reverse, control pressure is directed to apply the rear clutch and rear
band. Governor supply pressure is cut
off by the manual valve ; hence, the
transmission cannot shift automatically . Rear clutch pressure is also directed to the throttle valve to regulate
throttle pressure to obtain the correct
line pressure for the reverse circuit.

OIL COOLING AND


LUBRICA liNG SYSTEM
Figure I shows the transmiss ion
series cooling circuit. The converter out
circuit is directed through the oil cooler, then the cooled oil is used in the
transmission lubricating circuit.
A spring-loaded check valve is used
in the circuit to maintain approxim ately 3-5 psi in the converter out circuit.
When the converter out circuit exceeds
3-5 psi, the check ball opens against
spring pressure and cooled oil is directed to lubricate the various parts
of the transmission gear train .

engage the saw teeth on the clutch
cage.
6. Push the planet carrier forward
until the rollers are felt to contact the
surface of the cam race.
7. While applying forward pressure
on the carrier, rotate it counterclockwise as viewed from the rear. This will
cause the rollers to roll toward the
large opening end of the cams in the
race, compressing the springs slightly,
so that the rollers will enter the cams.
8. Some rollers may become
cocked preventing their entry into the
outer race. These rollers must be positioned individually with a small screwdriver by. pushing the rear of the rollers toward the transmission and into
the cam race (Fig. 73). Keep pressure
applied to the carrier at all times.
9. After all of the rollers have been
started into the cam race, rotate the
carrier counterclockwise while pushing
it forward. Again, straighten any rollers which still may be in a cocked position and prevent the carrier from
sliding onto the support.
10. Make sure that all springs are
entered in the cam race before attempting to push the carrier on the
support. Push the carrier all the way
forward and check the operation of
the clutch by rotating it in a counterclockwise direction . The carrier
should rotate counterclockwise with a
slight drag and should lock up when

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Engine performance complaints


usually fall under one of the basic
headings listed in the Diagnosis
Guide. When a particular trouble
can not be traced to a definite cause
by a simple check, the possible items

that could be at fault are listed in the


order of their probable occurrence.
Check the items in the order listed.
For example, under Poor Acceleration, the ignition system is listed as
a probable cause of the trouble. All

the conventional ignition system items


that affect acceleration are listed.
Ch~k all these items before proceeding to the next probable cause.
For diaposls proceclures of ~pi
don system malfancdons, refer to
Group 9.

PART 8-1- GENERAL ENGINE SERVICE

DIAGNOSIS GUIDI

ENGINE WILL
NOT CRANK

ENGINE CRANKS
NORMALLY, IUT WILL
NOT START

The cause of this trouble is usually


in the starting system (Group 14).
If the starting system is not at
fault, check for a hydrostatic lock
or a seized engine as follows:
Remove the spark plugs; then
attempt to crank the engine with the
Check the fuel supply. If there is
sufficient fuel in the tank and the
proper starting procedure is used, the
cause of the trouble probably lies in
either the ignition or the fuel system.
To determine which system is at
fault~ perform the following test:
Dtsconnect a spark plug wire.
Check the spark intensity at the end
of the wire by installing a terminal
adapter in the end of the wire. Then
~old the adapter approximately
mch from the exhaust manifold and
crank ~he engine.

IF THERE IS NO SPARK
OR A WEAK SPARK
AT THE SPARK PLUGS
The cause of the trouble is in the
ignition system.
Disconnect the brown lead (I
terminal) and the red and blue
lead (s terminal) at the starter
relay. Install an auxiliary starter
switch between the battery and s
terminals of the starter relay.
To determine if the cause of the
trouble is in the primary or the
secondary circuit, remove the coil
h~gh .tension lead from the top of the
dtstnbutor, and hold it approximately 3 / 16 inch from the cylinder
head. With the ignition on, crank
the engine and check for a spark.
If the spark at the coil high tension
lead is good, the cause of the trouble
is probably in the distributor cap,
rotor or spark plug wires.
If there is no spark or a weak
spark at the coil high tension lead,
~he cause _
of the trouble is probably
m the pnmary circuit, coil to distributor high tension lead, or the coil.
IF THERE IS
A GOOD SPARK AT
THE SPARK PLUGS

Check the spark plugs. If the spark


plugs are not at fault, check the
following items:
MANUAL CHOKE
Check the choke linkage for binding or damage. Make certain the
choke plate closes when the choke
knob on the instrument panel is
pulled out and that the plate opens
when the knob is pushed in.

~ta~ter. If the engine cranks, it


mdicat~s that water is leaking into

the cylmders. Remove the cylinder


head(s) and inspect the gasket(s)
and/ or head(s) for cracks. Examine
the cylinder block for cracks.

AUTOMATIC CHOKE

Check the position of the choke


plate. If the engine is hot, the plate
should be open. If the plate is not
open, the engine will load up due to
the excessively rich mixture and will
not start. If the engine is cold, the
plate should .be closed. If the plate
1s not operatmg properly, check the
following items:
The choke plate and linkage for
binding.
The fast idle cam linkage for
binding.
. Thermostatic spring housing adJUStment.
FUEL SUPPLY AT THE
CARBURETTOR

Work the throttle by hand several


times. Each time the throttle is
actuated, fuel should spurt from the
accelerating pump discharge port
(6-cylinder) or nozzles (V-8).
If fuel is discharged by the accelerating pump, the engine is probably
flooded, or there is water in the fuel
system, or an engine mechanical item
is at fault.
If fuel is not discharged by the
accelerating pump, disconnect the
carburettor fuel inlet line at the
carburettor. Use a suitable container
to catch the fuel. Crank the engine
to see. if fuel is reaching the carburettor.
If fuel is not reaching the carburettor, check:
The fuel filter.
The fuel pump.
The carburettor fuel inlet line for
obstructions.
The fuel pump flexible inlet line
for a collapsed condition.
The fuel tank line for obstructions.
For fuel tank vent restriction.
If fuel is reaching the carburettor
check:
The fuel inlet system including the
fuel inlet needle and seat assembly
and the float assembly.

occurs by operating the engine at
various speeds under load.

MISSES STEADILY AT
ALL SPEEDS
Isolate the miss by operating the
engine with one cylinder not firing.
This is done by operating the engine with the ignition wire removed
from one spark plug at a time, until
.all cylinders have been checked.
Ground the spark plug wire removed.
If the engine speed changes when
.a particular cylinder is shorted out,
that cylinder was delivering power
before being sho1ted out. If no
~hange in the engine operation is
evident, the miss was caused by
that cylinder not delivering power
befo1e being shorted out. In this
case, check the:
IGNITION SYSTEM
If the miss is isolated in a particular cylinder, perform a spark
test on the ignition lead of that cylinder.
If a good spark does not occur,
the trouble is in the seconduy circuit of the system. Check the spark
plug wire and the distributor cap.
If a good spark occurs, check the
spark plug. If the spark plug is not
at fault, a mechanical component of
the engine is probably at fault.

noisy lifter is by the use of a piece
of hose. With the engine operating
at idle speed, place one end of the
hose near the end of the valve stem
and the other end to the ear and
listen for a metallic noise. Repeat
this procedure on each intake and
exhaust valve until the noisy lifter(s)
has been located.
The most common causes of hydraulic valve lifter troubles are dirt,
gum, varnish, carbon deposits and
air bubbles.
Dirt in the lifter assembly can
prevent the disc valve from seating,
or it may become lodged between
the plunger and body surfaces. In
either case, the lifter becomes inoperative due to failure to "pump-up,"
or because the internal parts are no
longer free to function properly.
When dirt is found to be responsible for lifter malfunction, remove
the lifter assembly and thoroughly
clean it. Recommended engine oil
and filter change intervals should be
followed to minimize lifter problems caused by dirt (Group 19).
Deposits of gum and varnish
cause similar conditions to exist
which may result in lifter malfunction. If these conditions are found
to be presept, the lifter should be
disassembled and cleaned in solvent
to remove all traces of deposits.
Air bubbles in the lubricating oil,

Intake manifold to cylinder head


gasket defective (V-8).
Cylinder head or intake manifold
bolts (V -8) not properly torqued.
Cylinder block core plugs leaking.

caused by an excessively high or low


oil level, may likewise cause lifter
malfunction. A damaged oil pick-up
tube may allow air to be drawn into
the lubricating system.
Check for engine oil aeration as
follows:
Check the engine oil level to be
sure it is within specification and
correct as required. Be sure the ~or
red engine oU dlpsti~k Is beiDg used.
Operate the engine at approximately 1200 rpm until normal operating temperature is reached. Stop
the engine and remove the oil pressure sending unit. Install a fitting in
this opening with a petcock-type
valve that will permit attachment of
a 1,4 to s -inch-diameter hose of
sufficient length to direct the oil discharge into the oil filler pipe. Close
the valve.
Start the engine and operate it at
approximately 500 rpm for a minimum of S minutes; then, open the
valve slightly to permit a steady discharge of oil. Check the oil flow
for air bubbles.
Increase the engine speed to approximately 1000 rpm and check for
air bubbles in the oil. To fa~Uitate
~he~ldng for air bubbles, direct tbe
oil flow over white paper or throop
a pie~e of transparent tube. Tbe engine should not be opented at ex~esslve speeds or for extended periods with the oU bleed atta~bed.
If oil aeration is evident, remove
the oil pan for further test and/ or
inspection of the oil pump intake
system. Perform corrective action as
required to remove air from the lubricating oil.

at normal operating temperature.
Remove the spark plugs.
2. Disconnect the brown/red lead
(I terminal) and the red and blue lead
(S terminal) at the starter relay. Install an auxiliary starter switch between the battery and S terminals of
the starter relay. Check valve clearances as indicated in Group 8, Section 2, using the auxiliary starter
switch to turn engine. Crank the
engine with the ignition switch
off.

3. Set the throttle plates and


choke plate in the wide open position.
4. Install a compression gauge in
No. 1 cylinder.

5. Using the auxiliary starter


switch, crank the engine a minimum
of five pumping strokes, and record
the highest gauge reading.
Note the number of compression
strokes required to obtain the highest reading.
6. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine the same
number of times for each cylinder
as was required to obtain the highest
reading on the No. 1 cylinder.
Test Conclusions. The test pressures should fall within the band
specified and the compression of all
cylinders should be uniform within
20 psi.
If one or more cylinders exhibit
compression figures lower than that
specified, re-run the engine at 1200
rpm for 5 minutes. Recheck the low
reading cylinders to confirm the
original results.
A reading of more than the allowable tolerance above normal indicates excessive deposits in the cylinder or wrong cylinder head(s) on
the engine.
A reading of more than the allowable tolerance below normal indicates leakage at the cylinder head
gasket, piston rings or valves or
wrong cylinder head(s) on the engine.
A low, even compression in two
adjacent cylinders indicates a cylinder head gasket leak. This should be
checked before condemning the
rings or valves.
During a compression test, if the
pressure fails to climb steadily and
remains the same during .the first
two successive strokes, but climbs
higher on the succeeding strokes, or
fails to climb during the entire test,

PART 8-1-GENERAL ENGINE SERVICE


it indicates a sticking valve.
MANIFOLD VACUUM TEST
A manifold vacuum test aids in
determining the condition of an engine and in helping to locate the
cause of poor engine performance.
To check manifold vacuum :
1. Operate the engine for a minimum of 30 minutes at 1200 rpm
or until the engine is at normal
operating temperature.
2. On 6-cylinder engines, install
an accurate, sensitive vacuum gauge
in the intake manifold fitting.
On a V -8 engine, remove the plug
or power brake line at the rear of
the intake manifold and install an
accurate, sensitive vacuum gauge.
3. Operate the engine at recommended idle rpm, with the transmission selector lever in neutral.
4. Check the vacuum reading on
the gauge.
Test Conclusions. Manifold vacuum is affected by carburetor adjustment, valve timing, ignition timing,
the condition of the valves, cylinder
compression, the condition of the
positive crankcase ventilation system, and leakage of the intake manifold, carburetor, carburetor spacer
or cylinder head gaskets and a
restricted exhaust system.
Because abnormal gauge readings
may indicate that more than one of
the above factors are at fault, exercise caution in analyzing an abnormal reading. For example, if the
vacuum is low, the correction of one
item may increase the vacuum
enough so as to indicate that the
trouble has been corrected. It is important, therefore, that each cause
of an abnormal reading be investigated and further tests conducted,
where necessary, in order to arrive
at the correct diagnosis of the
trouble.
Table l lists various types of readings and their possible causes.
Allowance should be made for the
effect of altitude on the gauge reading. The engine vacuum will decrease with an increase in altitude.
HYDRAULIC VALVE
LIFTER TESTS
Dirt, deposits of gum and varnish
and air bubbles in the lubricating oil

Air bubbles in the lubricating system can be caused by too much oil
in the system or too low an oil level.
Air may also be drawn into the
lubricating system through an opening in a damaged oil pick-up tube.
Air in the hydraulic system can
cause a loss of hydraulic pressure in
the valve lifter.
Assembled valve lifters can be
tested with tool 6500-E to check the
leak down rate. The leak down rate
specification (Page 868) is the time
in seconds for the plunger to move
the length (Page 8-68) of its travel
while under a 50 lb. load. Test the
valve lifters as follows:
1. Disassemble and clean the lifter to remove all traces of engine
oil. Lifters cannot be checked with
engine oil in them. Only the testing fluid can be used.
2. Place the valve lifter in the
tester, with the plunger facing upward. Pour hydraulic tester fluid
into the cup to a level that will
cover the valve lifter assembly. The
ftuid can be purchased from the
manufacturer of the tester. Do not
use kerosene, for it wiU not provide
an accurate test.

3. Place a 5116-inch steel ball
in the plunger cup (Fig. 4).
4. Adjust the length of the ram
so that the pointer is l/16-inch
below the starting mark when the
ram contacts the valve lifter plunger (Fig. 5) to facilitate timing as
the pointer passes the Start Timing
Mark.
Use the center mark on the pointer scale as the Stop Timing point
instead of the original Stop Timing
mark at the top of the scale.
5. Work the valve lifter plunger
up and down until the lifter fills
with fluid and all traces of air bubbles have disappeared.
6. Allow the ram and weight to
force the valve lifter plunger downward. Measure the exact time it
takes for the. pointer to travel from
the Start Timing to the Stop Timing marks of the tester.
7. A valve lifter that is satisfactory must have a leak-down rate
(time in seconds) within the minimum and maximum limits specified.
8. If the valve lifter is not within
specifications, replace it with a new
lifter. Always test a new lifter before installing It in the engine. It is
not necessary to disassemble and
clean new valve lifters before testing, because the oil contained in
new lifters is test fluid.
9. Remove the fluid from the cup
and bleed the fluid from the lifter
by depressing the plunger up and
down. This step will aid in depressing the lifter plungen when
checking the valve clearance.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE
VENTILATION SYSTEM TEST
A malfunctioning positive crank-

GROUP 8- ENGINE
case ventilation system may be indicated by loping or rough engine
idle. Do not attempt to compensate
for this poor idle condition by disconnecting the crankcase ventilation
system and/or making carburettor
adjustments. The removal of the
crankcase ventilation system from
the engine will adversely affect the
fuel economy and engine ventilation
with resultant shortening of engine
life.
To determine whether the loping
or rough idle condition is caused
by a malfunctioning crankcase ventilation system, perform either of
the following tests.
-Regulator Valve Test.
Install a known good regulator
valve in the crankcase ventilation system.
Start the engine and compare the
engine idle condition to the prior idle
condition.
If the idle condition is found to be
satisfactory, replace the regulator
valve and clean the hoses, fittings. etc.
If the loping or rough idle condition remains when the good regulator
valve is installed, the crankcase ventilation regulator valve is not at fault.
Check the crankcase ventilation system for restriction at the intake manifold or carburetor spacer. If the system is not restricted, further engine
component diagnosis will have to be
conducted to find the malfunction.
Air Intake Test.
I. With the engine at normal operating temperature, remove the oil filler cap .
2. Hold the tester C8AZ-6B627-A
over the opening in the valve cover.
Make sure that the surface is flat to
form a seal between the cover and
tester. If the cover is distorted, shape
it as required to make an air tight
seal. An air leak between the cover
and tester will render the tester inoperative.
3. Start the engine and allow it to
operate at the recommended idle
speed.
4. Hold the tester over the oi I filler
cap opening making sure that there is
a positive seal between the tester and
cover.
5. If the ball settles in the Good
(green) area, the system is functioning
properly. If the ball settles in the Repair (red) area, clean or replace the
malfunctioning components as re.
quired.
6. Repeat the test after repairs are
made to make sure that the crankcase
ventilation system is operating satisfactorily.

CRANKSHAFT END PLAY


1. Force the crankshaft toward
the rear of the engine.
2. Install a dial indicator so that
the contact point rests against the
crankshaft flange and the indicator
axis is parallel to the crankshaft axis
(Fig. 7).
3. Zero the dial indicator. Push
the crankshaft forward and note the
reading on the dial.
4. If the end play exceeds the
wear limit, replace the thrust bearing. If the end play is less than
the minimum limit, inspect the
thrust bearing faces for scratches,
burrs, nicks or dirt. If the thrust
faces are not defective or dirty, they
probably were not aligned properly.
Install the thrust bearing and align
the faces following the procedure
recommended under Main Bearing
Replacement in the pertinent engine section. Check the crankshaft
end play.
FLYWHEEL FACE RUNOUTMANUAL-SHIFT
TRANSMISSIONS
Install a dial indicator so that the
indicator point bears against the flywheel face (Fig. 8). Turn the flywheel making sure that it is full forward or rearward so that crankshaft
end play will not be indicated as tlywheel runout.
If the clutch face runout exceeds
the specifications, remove the flywheel and check for burrs between
the flywheel and the face of the

CAMSHAFT END PLAY
Push the camshaft toward the rear
of the engine. Install a dial indicator
so that the indicator point is on the
camshaft sprocket retaining screw
(Fig. 10). Zero the dial indicator.
Position a large screw driver between
the camshaft sprocket and the block.
Pull the camshaft forward and release it. Compare the dial indicator
reading with specifications. If the
end play is excessive, replace the
thrust plate. Remove the dial indicator.

By using procedure in Step 3,
check the following valves:
No. 1 intake.
No. 3 exhaust.
No. 1 exhaust.
No. 4 intake.
No. 2 intake.
No. 5 exhaust.
2. Now rotate the crankshaft until
the No. 6 piston is on T.D.C. after
the compression stroke (1 revolution

3. Using tool 6513AG, apply
pressure on the push rod end of the
rocker arm (Fig. 12) to slowly bleed
down the valve lifter until the plunger
is completely bottomed. Hold the
lifter in this position and check the
available clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem tip with
a feeler gauge.
If clearance is not within specifications, tum the adjusting screw clockwise to decrease or counter-clockwise to increase, the clearance.
Normally, one turn of the adjusting
screw will alter the clearancr by
0.075 inch at the valve stem tip.

VALVE CLEARANCEHYDRAUUC VALVE LIFTERS,


V-8 Engines
The cylinders are numbered from
front to rear-right bank, 1-2-3-4;
left bank, 5-6-7-8.
The valve arrangement on the left
bank is E-1-E-1-E-1-E-1 and on the
right bank is 1-E-1-E-1-E-1-E.
A 0.060-inch shorter push rod or a
0.060-inch longer push rod are available for service to provide a means of
compensating for dimensional
changes in the valve mechanism.
Refer to the Master Parts List for the
pertinent color code.
Valve stem to valve rocker arm
clearance should be within specifications with the hydraulic lifter completely collapsed. Repeated valve reconditioning operations (valve and/or
valve seat refacing) will decrease the
clearance to the point that if not
compensated for, the hydraulic valve
lifter will cease to function and the
valve will be held open.
To determine whether a shorter or
a longer push rod is necessary, make
the following check :

GROUP 8- ENGINE
1. Disconnect the brown/red lead
(I terminal) and the red and blue lead
(S terminal) at the starter relay. Install
an auxiliary starter switch between
the battery and S terminals of the
Starter relay. Crank the engine with
the ignitions switch 0 FF until the
No. I piston is on TDC after the
compression stroke.
2. With the crankshaft in the
positions designated in Steps 3, 4 and
5 position the hydraulic lifter compressor tool on the rocker arm. Slowly apply pressure to bleed down the
hydraulic lifter until the plunger is
completely bottomed (Fig. 14 ). Hold
the lifter in this position and check
the available clearance between the
rocker arm and the valve stem tip
with a feeler gauge. The feeler gauge
width must not exceed 3/8-inch.
If the clearance is less than specifications, install an undersize push rod .
If the clearance is greater than specifications, install an oversize push rod.
3. With the No. I piston on TDC
at the end of the compression stroke,

PUSH RODS
Following the procedures in Section 3 under Push Rod Inspection
check the push rods for straightness.
If the runout exceeds the maximum limit at any point, discard the
rod. Do not attempt to straighten
push rods.
Reaming Valve Guides. If it becomes necessary to ream a valve
guide (Fig. 16) to install a valve
with an oversize stem, a reaming kit is available which contains
the following reamer and pilot combinations: a 0.003-inch O.S. reamer
with a standard diameter pilot, a
0.015-inch O.S. reamer with a
0.003inch O.S. pilot, and a 0.030inch reamer with a 0.0 15-inch O.S.
pilot.
When going from a standard size
valve to an oversize valve, always
use the reamers in sequence. Always.
reface the valve seat after the valve
guide has been reamed.
Refacing Valve Seats. Refacing of
the valve seats should be closely coodinated with refacing of the valve
face so that the finished seat and
valve face will be concentric and
the specified interference fit will be
maintained. This is important so that
the valve and seat will have a compression tight fit. Be sure that the
refacer grinding wheels are properly
dressed.
Grind the valve seats to a true 45
or 30 angle (Fig. 17). Remove only
enough stock to clean up pits,

grooves, or to correct the valve seat


runout. Mter the seat has been refaced, use a seat width scale to
measure the seat width (Fig. 18).
Narrow the seat, if necessary, to
bring it within specifications.
If the valve seat width exceeds
the maximum limit, remove enough
stock from the top edge and/ or
bottom edge of the seat to reduce
the width to specifications (Fig. 17).
For exhaust valves use a 30 angle
grinding wheel to remove stock from
the top of the seats (lower the seats)
and use a 60 angle wheel to remove
stock from the bottom of the seats
(raise the seats).
For inlet valves use a 15 angle
grinding wheel to remove stock from
the top of the seats and a 60 angle
grinding wheel to remove stock from
the bottom of the seats.
The finished valve seat should contact the approximate centre of the
valve face. It is good practice to determine where the valve seat contacts
the face. To do this, coat the seat
with Prussian blue, then set the valve
in place. Rotate the valve with light
pressure. If the blue is transferred to
the center of the valve face, the contact is satisfactory. If the blue is transferred to the top edge of the valve
face, lower the valve seat. If the blue
is transferred to the bottom edge of
the valve face, raise the valve seat.

8-13

grooves, etc., may be removed. Discard valves that are severely damaged, or if the face runout or stem
clearance exceeds specifications.
Discard any defective part of the
valve assembly.
Refacing Valves. The valve refacing operation should be closely coordinated with the valve seat refacing operation so that the finished
angles of the valve face and of the
valve seat will provide a compression-tight fit. Be sure that the refacer grinding wheels are properly
dressed.
If the valve face runout is excessive and/ or to remove pits and
grooves, reface the valves to a true
44 angle. Remove only enough
stock to correct the runout or to
clean up the pits and grooves. If the
edge of the valve head is less than
Ya 2 inch thick after grinding, replace the valve as the valve will run
too hot in the engine. The interfer
eoce fit of the valve and seat should
not be lapped out.

Seled Fitting Valves. If the valve
stem to valve guide clearance exceeds the wear limit, ream the valve
guide for the next oversize valve

GROUP 8- ENGINE
has been selected, check for a daDlaged piston; then, try a new piston.
If the clearance is less than the
minimum limit, recheck calculations
before trying another piston. If none
can be fitted, refinish the cylinder for
the next size pistor;1.
When a piston bas been fitted,
mark it for assembly in the cyUnder to which it was fitted.
If the taper, out-of-round and
piston to cylinder bore clearance
conditions of the cylinder bore are
within specified limits, new piston
rings will give satisfactory service.

Fitting Piston Rings


1. Select the proper ring set for
the size piston to be used.
l. Position the ring in the cylinder
bore in which it is going to be used.
3; Push the ring down into the
bore area where normal ring wear is
not encountered.
4. Use the head of a piston to
position the ring in the bore so that
the ring is square with the cylinder
wall. Use caution to avoid damage

give the proper clearance with the
maximum undersize bearing available, replace the crankshaft.
Always reproduce the same journal shoulder radius that existed
originally. Too small a radius will
result in fatigue failure of the crankshaft. Too large a radius will result
in bearing failure due to radius ride
of the bearing.
After refinishing the journals,
chamfer the oil holes, then polish
the journal with a No. 320 grit
polishing cloth and engine oil. Crocus cloth may be used also as a
polishing agent.
PISTONS, PINS AND RIMGS
Fitting Pistons. Pistons are
available for service in standard
sizes and the oversizes shown in
Table 2.
The standard-size pistons are
color coded red or blue on the dome.
Refer to the specifications for the
standard-size piston dimensions.
Piston pins are provided with new
pistons.
Follow the procedures in Section
3 to measure the piston O.D. and
cylinder bore I.D. The dimensions
should be within specifications, and
the piston to bore clearance (bore
I.D. minus piston O.D.) must be
within the specified limits.
If the clearance is greater than the

5. Measure the gap between the
ends of the ring with a feeler gauge
(Fig. 19). if the ring gap is less or
greater than the specified limits,
try another ring set.
6. Check the ring side clearance
of the compression rings with a
feeler cauge inserted between the ring
and its lower land (Fig. 20). The
gauge should slide freely around the
entire ring circumference without
binding. Any wear that occurs will
form a step at the inner portion of
the lower land. If the lower lands
have high steps, the piston should
be replaced.

Fitting Piston Pins.


Install the piston pin, following
the procedure under Piston Assembly page 8 35).
Piston piD bores must not be reamed
with hand-driven reamers. Use
motor-driven reamers, but do not
exceed the cutting speed (rpm)
recommended by the reamer manufacturer.
If a reamer is used, set the reamer to the size of the pin bore; then
expand the reamer slightly and trial
ream the pin bore. Take a light cut.
Use a pilot sleeve of the nearest
size to maintain alignment of the
bores.
Check the hole size, using the
new piston pin. If the bore is small,

another cut. Repeat the procedure
until the proper fit is obtained.
Check the piston pin for fit in the
respective rod or rod bushing.
CYLINDER BLOCK
Refinishing CyUnder WaDs. Honing is :recommended for refinishing
cylinder walls only when the walls
have minor imperfections, such as
light scuffs and scratches or for fitting pistons to the specified clearance. The grade of hone to be used
is determined by the amount of
metal to be removed. Follow the instructions of the hone manufacturer.
If coarse stones are used to start
the honing operation, leave enough
material so that all hone marks can
be removed with the finishing hone
which is used to obtain the proper
piston clearance.
Cylinder walls that are severely
marred and/ or worn beyond the
specified limits should be refinished.
Before any cylinder is refinished, all
main bearing caps must be in place
and tightened to the proper torque
so that the crankshaft bearing boreswill not become distorted from thtil
refinishing operation.
Refinish only the cylinder or cylinders that require it. All plsto4S are

EJ

the same weight, both standard and


ovenlze; therefore, various sizes of
plstous can be used without upsetting engine balance.
Refinish the cylinder with the
most wear first to determine the
maximum oversize. If the cylinder
will not clean up when refinished
for the maximum oversize piston
recommended, replace the cylinder
block.
Refinish the cylinder to within approximately 0.0015 inch of the required oversize diameter. This will
allow enough stock for the final step
of honing so that the correct surface
finish and pattern are obtained. Use
clean sharp hones of No. 180-220
grit for this operation.
For the proper . use of the refinishing equipment, follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Only
experienced penonnel should be .._
lowed to perform this won.
After the final operation in either
of the two refinishing methods described and prior to checking the
piston fit, thoroughly clean and oil
the cylinder walls, following the
procedure in Section 3. Check the
piston fit, following the procedure
in this section and Section 3. Mark

the pistons to correspond to the


cylinders in which they are to be
installed. When the refinishing of
all cylinders that require it has been
completed and all pistons are fitted,
thoroughly clean the entire block
and oil the cylinder walls following
the procedure under Cylinder Block

solvent to remove dirt, grease and
other deposits. Clean all bolt holes;
be sure the oil transfer passage is
clean.

FIG. 21 -Push Rod Runout


Remove all deposits from the
valves with a fine wire brush or buffing wheel.
INSPECTION
Check the cylinder head for
cracks, and inspect the gasket surface for burrs and nicks. Replace
the head if it is cracked.
The following inspection procedures are for a cylinder head that
is to be completely overhauled. For
individual repair operations, use
only the pertinent inspection procedure.
Cylinder Head Flatness. When a
cylinder head is removed because
of gasket leaks, check the flatness
of the cylinder head gasket surface
(Fig. 22) for conformance to specifications.
If necessary to refinish the cylinder head gasket surface, do not
plane or grind off more than 0.010
inch.
Vlllve Seat Runout. Check the
valve seat runout with an accurate
gauge (Fig. 23). Follow the instructions of the gauge manufacturer. If
the runout exceeds the wear limit,
reface the valve and valve seat.
Valve Seat Width. Measure the
valve seat width (Fig. 18). Reface
the valve seats if the width is not

Discard valves that are severely
damaged.
Inspect the valve springs, valve
spring retainers, locks and sleeves
for defects.
Valve Face Runout. Check the
valve face runout (Fig. 25). It
should not exceed the specified wear
limit. If the runout exceeds the wear
limits, the valve should be refaced
or replaced as outlined under Refacing Valves in Section 2.

clean, lint-free cloth.
INSPECTION
Inspect the parts . and discard the
entire lifter assembly if any part
shows pitting, scoring, galling or
evidence of non-rotation. Replace
the entire assembly if the plunger is
not free in the body. The plunger
should drop to the bottom of the
body by its own weight when
assembled dry.

Assemble the lifter assembly and


check for freeness of operation by
pressing down on the push rod cup.
The lifters can also be checked with
a hydraulic tester to test the leak
down rate. Follow the instructions
of the test unit manufacturer or the
procedure in Section 1.
TIMING CHAIN AND
SPROCKETS
CLEANING
Clean all parts in solvent and dry
them with compressed air.
Lubricate the timing chain with
engine oil before installing it on the

pump drive eccentric for scores,
nicks or excessive wear. If the
eccentric is scored, replace it.
CAMS HAn
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Clean the camshaft in solvent and
wipe it dry. Inspect the camshaft
lobes for scoring and signs of abnormal wear. Lobe wear characteristics may result in pitting in the
general area of the lobe toe. This
pitting is not detrimental to the
operation of the camshaft; therefore, the camshaft should not be
replaced until the lobe lift loss has
exceeded 0.005 inch.

CRANKSHAn VIBRATION
DAMPER AND SLEEVE
CLEANING
Clean the oil seal contact surface on the crankshaft damper with
solvent to remove any corrosion,
sludge or varnish deposits. Excess
deposits that are not readily removed
with solvent may be removed with
crocus cloth. Use crocus cloth to
remove any sharp edges, burrs or
other imperfections which might
damage the oil seal durmg installation or cause premature seal wear.

Do not use crocus cloth to the


extent that the seal surface becomes polished. A finely polished
surface may produce poor sealing or cause premature seal
wear.
INSPECTION
Inspect the crankshaft damper
oil seal surface for nicks, sharp
edges or burrs that might damage
the oil seal during installation or
cause premature seal wear.
CRANKSHAn
CLEANING
Handle the crankshaft with care
to avoid possible fractures or damage to the finished surfaces. Clean
the crankshaft with solvent, then
blow out all oil passages with compressed air.
INSPECTION
Inspect main and connecting rod
journals for cracks, scratches,
grooves or scores.
Measure the diameter of each
journal in at least four places to determine out-of-round. taoer or undersize condition (Fig. 29).

FLYWHEEL-MANUAL-SHin
TRANSMISSIONS
INSPECTION
Inspect the flywheel for cracks,
heat checks, or other defects that
would make it unfit for further
service. Machine the entire pressure plate mounting surface of the
flywheel if it is scored or worn.
If it is necessary to remove more
than 0.045 inch of stock from the
original thickness, replace the flywheel.
Inspect the ring gear for worn,
chipped or cracked teeth. If the
teeth are damaged, replace the ring
gear.
With the flywheel installed on the
crankshaft, check the flywheel face
runout, following the procedure in
Section 1.
FLYWHEEL-AUTOMAnC
TRANSMISSION
INSPECI'ION
Inspect the flywheel for cracks
or other defects that would make
it unfit for further service. Inspect
the starter ring gear for worn,
chipped or cracked teeth. If the
teeth are damaged, replace the
ring gear and flywheel assembly.
With the flywheel installed on the
crankshaft, check the gear face runout and outside diaQleter runout of
the flywheel (refer to Section 1 for
the proper procedure).
CONNECTING RODS
CLEANING
Remove the bearings from the rod
and cap. Identify the bearings if
they are to be used again. Clean the
connecting rod in solvent, including
the rod bore and the back of the
inserts. Do Dot use a caustic cleaaJaa
solution. Blow out all passages with
compressed air.
INSPECTION
The connecting rods and related
parts should be carefully inspected
and checked for conformance to
specifications. Various forms of engine wear caused by these parts can
be readily identified.
A shiny surface on the pin boss
side of the piston usually indicates
that a connecting rod is bent or the
piston pin hole is not in proper re-

GROUP 8- ENGINE
lation to the piston skirt and ring
grooves.
Abnormal connecting rod bearing
wear can be caused by either a bent
connecting rod, an improperly machined crilnkpin, or a tapered connecting rod bore.
Twisted connecting rods will not
create an easily identifiable wear
pattern, but badly twisted rods will
disturb the action of the entire piston, rings and connecting rod assembly and may be the cause of
excessive oil consumption.
Inspect the connecting rods for
signs of fractures and the bearing
bores for out-of-round and taper.
If the bore exceeds the recommended limits and/ or if the connecting
rod is fractured, it should be replaced.
Check the J.D. of the connecting
rod piston pin bore. Replace the
connecting rod if the pin bore is
not within specifications.
Replace defective connecting rod
nuts and bolts.
If the connecting rod has been
removed from the piston it should
be checked for bend or twist before
assembling it to the piston. Connecting rods can be checked for
bend or twist while assembled to
the piston. Check the connecting
rods for bend or twist on a suitable
alignment fixture. Follow the instructions of the fixture manufacturer. If the bend and/ or twist exceeds specifications, the connecting
rod must be straightened or replaced.
PISTONS, PINS AND RINGS
CLEANING
Remove deposits from the piston
surfaces. Clean gum or varnish from
the piston skirt, piston pins and
rings with solvent. Do not use a
caustic cleaning solutio& or a wire
brush to clean pistons. Clean the
r!ng grooves with a ring groove
cleaner (Fig. 30). Make sure the oil
ring slots (or holes) are clean.
INSPECTION
Carefully inspect the pistons for
fractures at the ring lands, skirts
and pin bosses, and for scuffed,
rough or scored skirts. If the lower
inner portion of the ring grooves
has a high step, replace the piston.
The step will interfere with ring
operation and cause excessive ring
side clearance.
Spongy, eroded areas near the
edge of the top of the piston are
usually caused by detonation or

pre-ignition. A shiny surface on the


thrust surface of the piston, offset
from the centerline between the piston pin holes, can be caused by a
bent connecting rod. Replace pistons that show signs of excessive
wear, wavy ring lands or fractures
or damage from detonation or preignition.
Check the piston to cylinder bore
clearance by measuring the piston
and bore diameters. Refer to the
specifications for the proper clearance. Refer to Cylinder Block InRing Groove Cleaner

FIG. 30 -Cleaning Ring Grooves


-Typical
spection for the bore measurement
procedure. Measure the o:o. of the
piston with micrometers at the centerline of the piston pin bore and
at 90 to the pin bore axis.
Check the ring side clearance following the procedure und<:r Fitting
Piston Rings in Section 2 page 8-14.
Replace piston pins showing signs
of fra~...ure, etching or wear. Check
the piston pin fit in the piston
and rod. Refer to Pistons and Connecting Rods Assembly in the per~
tinent engine section.
Check the O.D. of the piston pin
and the l.D. of the pin bore in the
piston. Replace any piston pin or
piston that is not within specifications.
Replace all rings that are scored,
chipped or cracked. Check the end
gap and side clearance. It is good
practice to always install new rings
when overhauling an engine. Rings
should not be transferred from one
piston to another regardless of
mileage.
MAIN AND CONNECTING
ROD BEARINGS
CLEANING
Clean the bearing inserts and caps
thoroughly in solvent, and dry them
with compressed air. Do not scrape

aum or vualsh depoalts from the
bearing shells.
INSPECI10N
Inspect each bearing carefully.
Bearings that have a scored, chipped
or worn.surface should be replaced.
Typical examples of bearing failures
and their causes are shown in Fig.
31. The copper lead bearing base
may be visible through the bearing
overlay. This does not mean that the
bearing is worn. It is not necessary
to replace the bearing if the bearing
clearance is within recommended
limits. Check the clearance of bearings that appear to be satisfactory
with Plastigage. Fit new bearings
following the recommended procedure in the pertinent part of
Group 8.
CYLINDER BLOCK
CLEANING
After any cylinder bore repair
operation, such as honing or deglazing, clean the bore(s) with soap
or detergent and water. 'Then,
thoroughly rinse the bore(s) with
clean water to remove the soap or
detergent, and wipe the bore(s) dry
with a dean, Hnt-free doth. FinaUy,
wipe the bore(s) with a dean doth
dipped in engine oil. If these procedures are not foUowed, nudq of
the cyHnder bore(s) may occur.
If the engine is disassembled,
thoroughly clean the block in solvent. Remove old gasket material
from all machined surfaces. Remove
all pipe plugs that seal oil passages;
then clean out all the passages.
Blow out all passages, bolt holes,
etc., with compressed air.
Make sure the threads in the
cylinder head bolt holes are clean.
Dirt in the threads may cause binding and result in a false torque
reading. Use a tap to true-up
threads and to remove any deposits.
INSPECTION
After the block has been thoroughly cleaned, make a check for

cracks. Minute cracks not visible to


the naked eye may be detected by
coating the suspected area with a
mixture of 25% kerosene and 75%
light motor oil. Wipe the part dry
and immediately apply a coating of
zinc oxide dissolved in wood alcohol.
If cracks are present, the coating
will become discolored at the defective area. Replace the block if
it is cracked.
Check all machined gasket surfaces for burrs, nicks, scratches and
scores. Remove minor imperfections
with an oil stone. Check the ftatness
of the cylinder block gasket surface
following the procedure and specifications recommended for the cylinder head. The cylinder block can
be machined to bring the cylinder
head gasket surface within the fiatness specifications, but not to exceed
0.010 inch stock removal.
Replace all expansion-type plugs
that show evidence of leakage.
Inspect the cylinder walls for
scoring, roughness or other signs of
wear. Check the cylinder bore for
out-of-round and taper. Measure the
bore with an accurate gauge following the instructions of the manufacturer. Measure the diameter of each
cylinder bore at the top, middle and
bottom with the gauge placed at
right angles and parallel to the centerline of the engine (Fig. 32). Use
only the measurements obtained at
90 to the engine centerline when
calculadng the piston to cyHnder
bore clearance.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The 200 and 250 six-cylinder


engines (Figs. 1, 2 and 3) are available with optional high and low
compression ratios (refer specifications).

MANIFOLDS
Exhaust gases provide the heat
necessary to assist in vaporizing the
incoming fuel mixture.

CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder bead carries the
valves, valve rocker arm shaft assembly, integrally cast intake manifold,
the coolant outlet and thermostat.
Valve guides are integral with the
bead. The valves are arranged from
front to rear E-1-1-E-1-E-E-1-E-1-1-E.

CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinders are numbered from
1 to 6 starting at the front of the engine. The firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4.
The distributor, located on the left
front of the engine, drives the oil
pump through an intermediate drive
shaft.
The crankshaft is supported by
seven main bearings. Crankshaft and
thrust is controlled by the flanges of
the No. 5 main bearing.
The pistons have two compression
rings and one oil control ring. The
top compression ring is molybdenum
coated and the lower compression
ring is phosphate-coated. The oil
control ring assembly consists of a
serrated spring and two chromeplated steel rails.

VALVE TRAIN
The Six cylinder engines utilize
hydraulic valve lifters to provide
zero lash. The operation and parts
identification of the hydraulic valve
lifters are shown in (Fig. 4). When
the valve is closed, the lifter assembly
is on the base circle of the camshaft
lobe and the valve push rod is in
its lowest position. With the lifter
assembly in this position, the plunger
spring expands, forcing the plunger
upward. This action is transmitted
to the valve rocker arm via the
valve push rod until there is solid
contact between the valve and the
valve end of the valve rocker arm
(zero valve lash).
As the lifter plunger moves upward, the volume of the compression
chamber is increased, resulting in
reduced oil pressure in the compression chamber. Therefore, to equalize
the resulting pressure differential between the supply chamber and the
compression chamber, the disc valve
moves off its seat and permits oil to
flow from the supply chamber to the
compression chamber. When the
compression chamber becomes filled
with oil, the pressures in the two
chambers are equalized. The oil flow
ceases and the disc valve spring seats
the disc valve and closes the disc
valve port.
As the camshaft rotates, the lifter
assembly is raised by the camshaft
lobe. This increases the push rod
force against the lifter plunger and
hydraulic pressure immedately builds
up in the compression chamber until
it acts as a solid member of the valve
operating mechanism . The lifter then

FIG. 2-Typical

Front

View

becomes a hydraulic ram which


forces the valve in the cylinder head
to open. During this period, a slight
leakage of oil past the plunger occurs
(calibrated leak down rate).
As the high point of the camshaft
lobe rotates and passes by the foot
of the valve lifter, the valve in the
cylinder head seats and the valve
lifter assembly is forced downward.
Reduced force on the lifter plunger
at . this time relieves the pressure on
the lifter plunger and it is free to be
moved upward by the plunger spring.
This action allows oil to flow once
again through the oil holes in the
lifter body and plunger.
The operating cycle is completed
for each revolution of the camshaft.
Zero clearance (lash) in the valve
train mechanism is maintained at all
times by the hydraulic force and expansion of the plunger spring between the lifter body and plunger.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Oil from the oil pan sump is
forced through the pressure-type lubrication system (Fig. 6) by a rotor
pump. A spring-loaded relief valve
in the pump limits the maximum
pressure of the system. Oil relieved
by the valve is directed back to the
intake side of the pump.
All the oil discharged by the
pump passes through a full flowtype filter before it enters the engine. The filter has an internal by-

2S0-2v
pass valve and mounting gasket.
The by-pass valve permits oil to
by-pass the filter if it becomes
clogged, thereby maintaining an
emergency supply of oil to the
engine at all times. An anti-drain
back diaphragm prevents a reverse
flow of oil when the engine is
stopped.
From the filter, the oil flows into
the main oil gallery. The oil gallery
supplies oil to all the camshaft and
main bearings through a drilled
passage in each main bearing web.
The timing chain and sprockets
are splash-lubricated from the oil
pan.
An oil slinger prevents leaka6e by
directing oil away from the crankshaft rear oil seal.
Cylinder walls, pistons and piston
pins are lubricated through a drilled
hole in each connecting rod which
indexes with a drilled hole in the
connecting rod journal of the crankshaft.
Oil from the main gallery feeds
pressure oil to the hydraulic valve
lifters and lubricates the lifter bores
in the cylinder block. A reservoir at
each valve lifter bore boss traps oil
so that oil is available for valve lifter
lubrication as soon as the engine
starts.
Oil under reduced pressure is fed
to the valve rocker arm shaft assem-

GROUP 8- ENGINE

bly through a drilled passage in the


cylinder block at the No. 4 camshaft
bearing. The oil is metered by a
groove in the camshaft journal. The
passage in the block indexes with &.
hole in the cylinder head. The oil
passage in the cylinder bead is drilled
from the cylinder head bolt bore to
the No. 6 valve rocker arm shaft
support. The rocker arm shaft supports have a square cored bolt
mounting hole for more positive
lubrication of the rocker arms, shafts
and valves. The oil flows through the
valve rocker arm shaft through
drilled holes in each rocker arm to
lubricate the valve and the push
rod end of the rocker arm. The excess oil spirals down the rotating
push rod and assists in lubricating
the tappet and push rod seat. An
oil outlet in the No. 1 rocker arm
shaft support, exhausts excess oil
from the valve rocker arm shaft.
The oil from each rocker arm drains
into the push rod chamber through
the push rod bore holes in the cylinder head.
The oil in the push rod chamber
drains back into the oil pan through
cored openings in the block.

case ventilation system is shown in


Fig. 5.
Ventilating air enters the engine
through the oil filler cap located on
the front of the valve rocker arm
cover. The filler cap contains a filter-

ing element which filters the incoming air.


From the oil filler cap, the air
flows into the front section of the
valve rocker arm shaft chamber. The
ventilating air moves down past the
push rods and into the crankcase.
Air is diverted from the front section of the crankcase through holes
in the front of the cylinder block
wall to ventilate the timing chain
chamber.
The rotating action of the crankshaft causes the air to flow towards
the rear of the crankcase and up into
the rear section of the valve rocker
arm cover. The air then enters a
spring-loaded regulator valve that
regulates the amount of air flow to
meet changing operating conditions.
The air is then directed to the intake
manifold through the crankcase vent
hose and the spacer fitting.
During idle, intake manifold
vacuum is high. The high vacuum
overcomes the tension of the spring
pressure and moves the valve to a
low flow position (Fig. 7). With the
valve in this position, all the ventilating air passes through the restricted passage in the valve. With
the valve in this position, there is
minimum ventilation. As engine
speed increases and manifold
vacuum decreases, the spring forces
the valve out of the passage and to
the full open position (Fig. 7 ). This
increases the flow of ventilating air.

COOLING SYSTEM
The coolant is drawn from the
bottom of the radiator by the water
pump which delivers the coolant to
.. the cylinder block (Fig. 8) .
As the coolant enters the block, it
"'
travels through cored passages to
cool the entire length of each cylinder wall. Upon reaching the rear of
the cylinder block, the coolant is
directed upward into the cylinder
head where it cools the combustion
chambers, valves, and valve seats on
, "' its return to the front of the engine.
At this point, the coolant tl.ows
into the coolant outlet connection,
past the thermostat if it is open, and
irito the top of the radiator. If the
thermostat is closed, a small portion
of tbe coolant is returned to the
water pump for recirculation . The.
entire system is pressurized to 13-15
psi.

REPLACEMENT
Broken valve springs or defective
valve stem seals and retainer may be
replaced without removing the cylinder head, provided damage to the
valve or valve seat has not occurred.
1. Remove the air cleaner. Remove the crankcase ventilation regulator valve from the valve rocker arm
cover. Remove the fuel and vacuum
pipes then remove the valve rocker
arm cover. Remove the applicable
spark plug.
2. Loosen the valve rocker arm
shaft support bolts 2 turns at a time,
in sequence, until the valve spring
pressure is relieved. Remove both
valve push rods of the cylinder to
be serviced.
3. Install an air line with an
adapter in the spark plug hole.
4. Tighten the retaining bolts just
enough to seat the rocker arm shaft
supports on the cylinder head. Push
the rocker arm to one side and secure
it in this position (Fig. 19). To move
the rocker arm on either end of the
shaft, it will be necessary to remove
the retaining pin and spring washer
and slide the rocker arm off the shaft.
5. Turn on the air supply. Air
pressure may turn the crankshaft until the piston reaches the bottom of
its stroke. Using the valve spring
compression tool shown in (Fig. 19)
compress the valve and remove the
valve spring retainer locks, the spring
retainer and the valve spring.
If air pressure fails to bold the valve
in the closed position during this operation, it can be presumed that the
valve is not seating or is damaged.
H this condition occurs, remove the

8-30
cylinder head for further inspection.
6. Remove the valve stem seal
(Fig. 20). If air pressure has forced
the piston to the bottom of the cyl
inder, any removal of air pressure
will allow the valve(s) to faD into the
cylinder. A rubber band, tape or
string wrapped around the end of the
valve stem will prevent this condition
and will still allow enough travel to
check the valve for binds.

MAIN AND CONNECTING


ROD BEARING REPLACEM~NT
The main bearing inserts are
selective fit. Do not file or lap
bearing caps or use bearing shims
tO obtain the proper bearing clearance.
Selective fit main bearings are
available for service in standard
sizes and 0.002 inch undersize.

Standard bearings are divided into


two sizes and are identified by a
daub of red or blue paint. Refer to
the Parts Catalog for the available
sizes. Red marked bearings increase
the clearance; blue marked bearings
decrease the clearance. Undersize
bearings, which are not selective fit,
are available for use on journals
that have been refinished.

MAIN BEARING
1. Drain the crankcase. Remove
the oil leyel dipstick. Remove the oil
pan and related parts.
2. Remove the oil pump inlet
tube assembly and the oil pump.

opposite direction of engine rotation
until the bearing seats itself. Remove
the tool.
8. Install the cap bearing.
9. Support the crankshaft so that
its weight will not compress the
Plastigage used in Step 10 and provide an erroneous reading. Position
a jack so that it will bear against the
counterweight adjoining the bearing
which is being checked.
10. Place a piece of Plastigage on
the bearing surface the full width of
the bearing cap and about 1/.! inch
off center (Fig. 31).
11. Install the cap and torque the
bolts to specifications. Do not turn
the crankshaft while the Plastigage
is in place.

widest point in order to get the minimum clearance. Check at the narrowest point in order to get the maximum clearance. The difference between the two readings is the taper.
13. If the clearance is less than
the specified limits, try two red bearing halves or a combination of red
and blue, depending upon the condition .
If the clearance exceeds specified
limits, try 0.002 inch undersize
bearings in combination with blue
or red bearings. The b<'aring clearance must be within specified limits.
If 0.002 inch undersize main bearings are used on more than one
journal, be sure they are all installed
on the same side (cap or cylinder
block) of the crankshaft.
If the standard and 0.002 inch
undersize bearings do not bring the
clearance within the desired limits,
refinish the crankshaft journal; then
install undersize bearings.
14. If the rear main bearing is replaced, replace the lower oil seal in
the rear main bearing cap as follows:
Remove and discard the rear seal.
If there is evidence of oil seal leakage, the upper half of the oil seal
must also be replaced to assure satisfactory sealing.
Clean the mating surfaces of the
block and rear main bearing cap,
and the rear journal oil seal groove.
Preform the new seal by hand to
the approximate radius of the cap.
Insert the seal in the oil seal
groove, seating the center of the seal

VALVE CLEARANCE CHECKING


PROCEDURE
The valve arrangement of the left
bank is E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I and on the right
bank is I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E.
A 0.060-inch shorter push rod or a
0.060-inch longer push rod are available
for service to provide a means of
compensating for dimensional changes in
the valve mechanism.

FIG. 4 - Checking Valve Clearance

Valve stem to valve rocker arm


clearance should be within specifications
with the hydraulic lifter completely
collapsed. Repeated valve reconditioning
operations (valve and/or valve seat
refacing) will decrease the clearance to the
point that if not compensated for , the
hydraulic valve lifter will cease to function
and the valve will be held open.
To determine whether a shorter or a
longer push rod is necessary , make the
following check:
1. Disconnect the brown lead (I
terminal) and the red and blue lead (S
terminal) at the starter relay. Install an
auxiliary starter switch between the
battery and S terminals of the Starter
relay. Crank the engine with the ignition
switch OFF until the No. I piston i~ on
TDC after the compression stroke.
2. With the crankshaft in the
positions designated in Steps, 3,4, and 5,
position the hydraulic lifter compressor
tool on the rocker arm. Slowly apply
pressure to bleed down the hydraulic lifter
until the plunger is completely bottomed
(Fig. 4) . Hold the lifter in this position
and check the available clearance between
the rocker arm and the valve stem tip with
a feeler gauge.

With No , I ot TDC at end o f compr e ss ion st roke


mak e a chalk mark at poi nt s Band C approx imatel y

If the clearance is less than


specifications, install an undersize push
rod. If the clearance is greater than
specifications, install an oversize push rod.
3. With the No. I piston on TDC at
the end of the compression stroke,
POSITION A in Fig. 5, check the
following valves:
No. 1 Intake No. I Exhaust
No. 4 Intake No. 3 Exhaust
No. 8 Intake No. 7 Exhaust

the assembled height is greater than
specifications,
install
the necessary
0.030-inch thick spacer(s) between the
cylinder head spring pad and the valve
spring to bring the assembled height to the
recommended height.
Do not install the spacers unless
necessary. Use of spacers in excess of
recommendations
will
result
in
overstressing the valve springs and
overloading the camshaft lobes which
could lead to spring breakage and/or worn
camshaft lobes.

valve(s) to fall into the cylinder. A rubber
band, tape or string wrapped around the
end of the valve stem will prevent this
condition and will still allow enough travel
to check the valve for binds.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

GENERAL INFORMATION

The ignition system consists of a


primary (low voltage) and a secondary (high voltage) circuit (Fig. 1).
The primary circuit consists of the:
1. Battery.
2. Ignition switch.
3. Primary circuit resistance wire.
4. Primary windings of the ignition coil.
5. Breaker points.

ground through the closed breaker
points. When the breaker points
open, the magnetic field built up in
the primary windings of the coil
moves through the secondary windings of the coil producing high voltage current. High voltage current is
produced each time the breaker
points open. The high voltage flows
through the coil high tension lead to
the distributor cap where the rotor
distributes it to one of the spark plug
terminals in the distributor cap. This
process is repeated for every power
stroke of the engine.

TROUBLE ISOLATION
Ignition system troubles are caused
by a failure in the primary and/ or
the secondary circuit or incorrect ignition timing. If an engine trouble
has been traced to the ignition system
from the "Engine Trouble Diagnosis
Guide," the trouble can be found by
performing an ignition system test on
a scope or by further isolating the
trouble to the primary or secondary
circuit as follows:
1. Disconnect the brown wire
from the starter relay I terminal and
the red and blue wire from the starter relay S terminal.
2. Remove the coil high tension
lead from the distributor cap.
3. Turn on the ignition switch.
4. While holding the high tension

ground, crank the engine by using an
auxiliary starter switch between the
starter relay battery and S terminals.
If the spark is good, the trouble
lies in the secondary circuit.
If there is no spark or a weak
spark, the trouble is in the primary
circuit, coil to distributor high tension lead, or the coil.
Primary Circuit

A breakdown or energy loss in the


primary circuit can be caused by:
1. Defective primary wiring, or
loose or corroded terminals.

FIG. 4 -Resistance Wire Test

A breakdown or energy loss in the


secondary circuit can be caused by:
1. Fouled or improperly adjusted
sparlr plugs.
l. Defective high tension wiring.
3. High tension leakage across the
coil, distributor cap or rotor resulting from an accumulation of dirt.
To isolate a trouble in the secondary circuit, proceed as follows :
Turn the ignition switch off and
remove the auxiliary starter switch
from the starter relay.
Install the coil high tension lead in
the distributor cap, the red and blue
wire on the starter relay S terminal

Breaker Points
Clean and inspect the breaker
points by following the procedure under Cleaning and Inspection (Section
3 of this part).
The breaker point dwell can be
checked with a distributor tester or a
dwell meter by following the procedure under Distributor Tests in this
section of the manual.
The breaker p"int resistance can
be checked with ;_ distributor tester
by following the procedure under
Distributor Tests in this section of
the manual.
Coli
Clean and inspect the coil by following the procedure under Cleaning

Distributor Cap
Clean and inspect the distributor
cap by following the procedure under
Cleaning and Inspection (Section 3 of
this part).
Rotor
Clean and inspect the rotor by following the procedure under Cleaning
and Inspection (Section 3 of this
part).
Secondary (High Tension)
Wires
The secondary wires include the
wires connecting the distributor cap
to the spark plugs and the wire connecting the center terminal of the
distributor cap to the center terminal
of the ignition coil.
Clean and inspect the secondary
wiring by following the procedure
under Cleaning and Inspection (Section 3 of this part).
These wires are the radio resistance-type which filter out the high
frequency electrical impulses that
are the source of ignition noise interference. The resistance of each wire
should not exceed 7000 ohms per
foot.

When checking the resistance of


the wires or setdng lpltion timing,
do not puncture the wires with a
probe. The probe may cause a sep
aratioa In the conductor.
When removing the wires from the
spark plugs, grasp and twist the
moulded cap, then puB the cap off
the spark plug. Do not pull on the
wire because the wire connection Ia
ade the cap may become separated
or the Insulator seal may be dam
aged.
To check the.spark intensity at the
spark plugs, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect a spark plug wire.
Check the spark Intensity of one wire
at a time.
2. Install a terminal adapter in the
terminal of the wire to be checked.
Hold the adapter approximately 3fw
inch from the exhaust manifold and
crank the engine, using a remote
starter switch. The spark should jump
the gap regularly.
3. If the spark intensity of all the
wires is satisfactory, the coil, condenser, rotor, distributor cap and the

PART 9-1- GENERAL IGNITION SY.STEM SERVICE


secondary wires are probably satisfactory.
If the spark is good at only some
wires, check the resistance of the
faulty leads.
If the spark is equal at all wires,
but weak or intermittent, check the
coil, distributor cap and the coil to
distributor high tension wire.
Spark Plugs
Inspect, clean and gap the plugs
following the instructions in sections
2 and 3. After the proper gap is obtained, check the plugs on a testing
machine. Compare the sparking efficiency of the cleaned and gapped
plug with a new plug. Replace the
piug if it fails to meet 70% of the
new plug performance.
Test the plugs for compression
leakage at the insulator seal. Apply a
coating of oil to the shoulder of the
plug where the insulator projects
through the shell, and to the top of
the plug, where the center electrode
and terminal project from the insulator. Place the spark plug under pressure with the tester's high tension
wire removed from the spark plug.
LeakJge is indicated by air bubbling
through the oil. If the test indicates
compression leakage, replace the
plug. If the plug is satisfactory, wipe
it clean.
Ignition Timing

Incorrect ignition timing can be


caused by:
1. Timing incorrectly adjusted.
2. Distributor bushing and/ or
shaft worn, or a bent distributor
shaft.
3. Defective vacuum advance system.
4. Defective centrifugal advance
system.

DISTRIIUTOR CHICKS

BREAKER POINT
RESISTANCE
1. Turn the test selector to the
appropriate position.
2. Revolve the chuck by hand
until the distributor breaker points
are closed.
3. The meter pointer on the cam
angle meter should read in the OK
zone. If the meter pointer does not
fall in the OK zone, there is excessive resistance caused by a faulty
contact across the distributor points,
a faulty primary lead, or a poorly
grounded base plate. A faulty contact
across the distributor points indicates improper spring tension or
burned or pitted points.
INSULATION AND LEAKAGE
1. Turn the test selector to the
cam angle position and revolve the
chuck by hand until the distributor
breaker contacts are open.
2. The cam angle meter should
show a zero reading. If a zero reading is not obtained, a short circuit to
ground exists.
A short could be caused by poor
primary lead wire insulation, a
shorted condenser, or a short between the breaker arm and breaker
plate.
MECHANICAL OPERATION
1. Turn the test selector to the
SYNCHRO. position and check to
make sure the drive chuck is securely
tightened on the distributor shaft.
2. Turn the motor control switch
to the setting for an eight cylinder
car or for a six cylinder car.
If it Is necessary to reverse the rotation of the drive motor, tum the
motor control switch to the OFF position and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop before reversing
the switch.
3. Adjust the rpm control to vary
the distributor speed between 400
and 4000 engine rpm or at the maxi-

IGNITION SYSTEM

mum speed of the engine on which


the distributor is used. Erratic or thin
faint flashes of light preceding the
regular flashes as the speed of rotation is increased can be due to weak
breaker arm spring tension or binding of the breaker arm on the pivot
pin.
4. Operate the distributor at approximately 2500 engine rpm.
5. Move the protractor scale with
the adjustment control so that the
zero degree mark on the scale is opposite one of the neon flashes. The
balance of all the flashes should come
within 1o, plus or minus, evenly
around the protractor scale. A variation larger than 1 o or erratic or wandering flashes may be caused by a
worn cam or distributor shaft or a
bent distributor shaft.
DWELL ANGLE
1. Turn the cylinder selector to
the figure corresponding to the number of lobes on the cam of the distributor being tested.
2. Turn the test selector switch to
the cam angle position and operate
the distributor at approximately
250 engine rpm.
3. Adjust the distributor breaker
point gap to the dwell angle shown in
the specifications.

BREAKER PLATE WEAR


A worn breaker plate on the dual
advance distributors will cause the
breaker point dwell to change as
engine speed and load condition
are varied.
On the dual advance distributor
adjust the test set to 0 o advance,
0 inches vacuum, and 250 rpm.
Adjust the dwell angle to specifications. Apply vacuum to the distributor diaphragm and increase it very
slowly while observing the indicated
dwell angle. The maximum dwell
angle variation should not exceed 6 o
when going from zero to maximum
vacuum at constant rpm. If the dwell
angle variation exceeds this limit,
there is excessive wear at the
stationary subplate pin or the diaphragm.
DISTRIBUTOR SPARK
ADVANCE
The spark advance is checked to
determine if the ignition timing advances in proper relation to engine
speed and load.
Dual Advance Distributor
1. Check the contact dwell. If the
contact dwell is not within specifica-

tions, adjust the breaker points.


2. Check the breaker arm spring
tension and adjust it if necessary.
The dual advance distributor has
two independently operated spark
advance systems. Each system is adjusted separately. Adjust the centrtf
upl advance before adjusting the
vacuum advance.
Centrifugal Advance

1. Operate the distributor in the


direction of rotation and adjust the
speed to the initial rpm setting listed
in the specifications. Move the protractor scale so that one of the flashes
lines up with the zero degree mark.
2. Slowly increase the rpm to the
setting specified for the first advance
reading listed in the specifications.
If the correct advance is not indicated at this rpm, stop the distributor and bend one spring adjustment
bracket to change its tension (Fig.
7. Bend the adjustment bracket
away from the distributor shaft
to decrease advance (increase
spring tension) and toward the
shaft to increase advance (decrease spring tension). Mter the
adjustment is made, identify the
bracket.
3. After an adjustment has been
made to one spring, check the minimum advance point again.
4. Operate the distributor at the
specified rpm to give an advance just
below the maximum. If this advance
is not to specifications, stop the distributor and bend the other spring
bracket to give the correct advance.
5. Check the advance at all rpm
settings listed in the specifications.
Operate the distributor both up and
down the rpm range.
Vacuum Advance
1. Connect the test set vacuum
line to the fitting on the diaphragm.
2. Set the test set to 0 o advance,
0 vacuum, and at 250 rpm.
3. Check the advance at the first
vacuum setting given in the specifications.
4. On 8 cylinder single diaphragm
distributors, if the advance is incorrect, change the calibration washers between the vacuum chamber
spring and out (Fig. 8). After installing or removing the washers, position
the gasket in place and tighten the
nut. The addition of a washer will
decrease advance and the removal of a washer will increase
advance.
5. After one vacuum setting has
been adjusted, the others should be
checked. Do not change the orig-

PART 9-1-

GENERAL IGNITION SYSTEM SERVICE

inal rpm setting when going to a


different vacuum setting. If the
other settings are not within limits,
it ind~cates incorrect spring tension,
leakage in the vacuum diaphragm
and/ or line, or the wrong fibre stop
has been installed in the vacuum
chamber of the diaphragm housing.
To check the diaphragm for leakage:
Remove the vacuum line from the
distributor. Adjust the vacuum pressure of a distributor tester to its
maximum position. Hold your hand
over the end of the tester's vacuum
hose and note the maximum reading
obtained. Do not exceed lS inches
HK.

If the maximum reading is 25


inches Hg or less, connect the tester's
vacuum line to the vacuum fitting on

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

SPARK PLUGS
Examine the firing ends of the
spark plugs, noting the type of deposits and the degree of electrode
erosion. Refer to Fig. 19 for the various types of spark plug fouling and
their causes.

Clean the plugs on a sand blast


cleaner, following the manufacturer's
instructions. Do not prolong the use
of the abrasive blast as it will erode
the Insulator and electrodes.
Clean the electrode surfaces with
a small file (Fig. 21). Dress the electrodes to obtain flat parallel surfaces
on both the center and side electrodes.
After cleaning, examine the plug
carefully for cracked or broken insulators, badly pitted electrodes, and
other signs of failure. Replace as required.

DISTRIBUTORS
Soak all parts of the distributor assembly (except the condenser, breaker point assembly, lubricating wick,
vacuum diaphragm, distributor base
oil seal and electrical wiring) in a
mild cleaning solvent or mineral
spirits. Do not use a harsh cleaning
solution. Wipe all parts that can not
be immersed in a solvent with a clean
dry cloth.
After foreign deposits have been
loosened by soaking, scrub the parts
with a soft bristle brush. Do not use
a wire brush, file, or other abrasive
objec;t. Dry the parts with compressed
air.
Examine the bushing surface(s) of
the distributor shaft and the bushing(s) for wear.
Inspect the distributor cam lobes
for scoring and signs of wear. If any
lobe is scored or worn, replace the
cam assembly.

Inspect the breaker plate assembly


for signs of distortion. In addition, on
the dual advance distributor, inspect
the stationary sub-plate for worn nylon contact buttons. Replace the
breaker plate assembly if it is defective.
The breaker point assembly and
condenser should be replaced whenever the distributor is overhauled.
Inspect all electrical wiring for
fraying, breaks, etc., and replace any
that are not in good condition.
Check the distributor base for
cracks or other damage.
Check the diaphragm housing,
bracket, and rod for damage. Check
the vacuum line fitting for stripped
threads or other damage. Test the
vacuum fittings, case, and diaphragm for leakage as explained
under Distributor Tests. Replace all
defective parts.

DESCRIPTION
The temperature sensitive vacuum
control valve is located in the engine
coolant outlet. Its function is to
regulate the ignition spark control
vacuum applied to the distributor at
engine idle.
OPERATION
During extended idle periods,
under high ambient temperature
conditions with the air conditioner
operating, the valve regulates the
ignition timing according to engine
temperature.
As the engine coolant temperature
rises above normal the vacuum
control valve is progressively opened
so applying vacuum to the distributor spark control unit and
advancing the ignition timing.
This has the effect of:
1. Increasing the engine idle speed.
2. Increasing the air flow through
the radiator.
3. Increasing coolant flow through
the engine.
4. Increasing thermal efficiency.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The dual advance distributor has


two independently operated spark
advance systems. A centrifugal advance mechanism is located below
the stationary sub-plate assembly
and a vacuum operated spark control
diaphragm is located on the side of
the distributor base.
As speed increases, the centrifugal
weights cause the cam to advance or
move ahead with respect to tlie distributor drive shaft. The rate of advance is controlled by calibrated
springs.
The vacuum advance mechanism
has a spring loaded diaphragm which
is connected to the breaker plate. The
spring loaded side of the diaphragm
is airtight and is connected through
a vacuum line to the carburettor
throttle bore. When the throttle plate
opens, the distributor vacuum passage
is exposed to manifold vacuum, which
causes the diaphragm to move against
the tension of the spring. This causes
the movable breaker plate to rotate on
the stationary sub-plate. The breaker
point rubbing block then moves
against distributor rotation and advances the spark timing.

hour before installation. Use the correct mandrel for pressing out and
replacing bushes. Test condenser by
means of a suitable tester. The bracket of the condenser must make good
contact with the distributor housing.
Contact points must be secure and
well aligned; adjust height with
shims. Displaced contact points
should be aligned by means of a setting tool. The rubbing block of the
contact breaker lever should not be
worn. Contact spring tension must be
tested with a spring balance.
Failure to comply with any one
of the above requirements makes it
necessary to replace the contact set.

springs must be replaced with the


correct springs as the springs determine the advance curve which is
important to optimum engine performance. The vacuum control unit
must be tested for leaks and, in the
event of a leak being found, the
complete unit must be replaced.

Shaft End Float


Shaft end float must be adjusted to
specifications by placing or removing
shims from between the drive gear
and the housing on 6 cylinder distributors or between the drive shaft
collar and housing on 8 cylinder

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The dual advance distributor has


two independently operated spark
advance systems. A centrifugal advance mechanism (Fig. 1) is located
below the stationary sub-plate assembly, and a vacuum operated spark
control diaphragm is located on the
side of the distributor base (Fig. 2).
As speed increases, the centrifugal
weights cause the cam to advance or
move ahead with respect to the distributor drive shaft. The rate of advance is controlled by calibrated
springs.
The vacuum advance mechanism

has a spring-loaded diaphragm


which is connected to the breaker
plate. The spring-loaded side of the
diaphragm is airtight and is connected through a vacuum line to the
carburettor throttle bore. When the
throttle plates open, the distributor
vacuum passage is exposed to manifold vacuum, which causes the diaphragm to move against the tension
of the spring. This action causes the
movable breaker plate to pivot on

moves. against distributor rotation
and advances the spark timing. As
the movable breaker plate is rotated
from retard position to full advance
position, the dwell decreases slightly.
This is because the breaker point
rubbing block and the cam rotate on
different axes.
Note: A dual diaphragm advance/
retard unit is fitted to some engines,
however the retard side of the unit
has been plugged and the vacuum
side operates in the same manner as
the single diaphragm unit.

1. If the crankshaft was rotated
while the distributor was removed
from the engine, it will be necessary
to time the engine. Rotate the crankshaft until No. 1 piston is on TDC
after the compression stroke. Align
the TDC mark on the timing pointer
with the timing pin on the crankshaft
damper. Position the distributor in
the block with the rotor at the No. 1
firing position.
Make sure the oil pump intermediate shaft properly engages
the distributor shaft. It may be
necessary to crank the engine
with the starter, after the distributor drive gear is partially
engaged, in order to engage the
oil pump intermediate shaft.

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

Always refer to the Master Parts
Catalogue for parts usage and interchangeability before replacing a carburettor or a component part for a

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DIAGNOSIS
FUEL TANK, LINES AND
FILTER
Water and dirt that accumulate in
the fuel tank can cause a restricted
fuel line or filter and malfunction of
fuel pump, or carburettor. Condensation, which is the greatest source
of water entering the fuel tank, is
formed by moisture in the air when
it strikes the cold interior walls of
the fuel tank.

If the accumulation of sediment


in the filter is excessive, the fuel
tank should be removed and flushed,
and the line from the fuel pump to
the tank should be blown out.
Leakage in the fuel inlet line can
cause low vacuum, and volume conditions, and loss of fuel.
A restricted fuel tank vent can
cause low fuel pump pressure and
volume and may, in some instances,
result in collapsed inlet hoses or a
collapsed fuel tank.

FUEL PUMP
Incorrect fuel pump pressure and
low volume (ftow rate) are the two
most likely fuel pump troubles that
will affect engine performance. Low
pressure will cause a lean mixture
and fuel starvation at high speeds
and excessive pressure will cause
high fuel consumption and carburettor flooding. Low volume will cause
fuel starvation at high speeds.

POOR ACCELERATION

Poor acceleration complaints fall


under one of three headings: the engine is sluggish on acceleration, the
engine stalls when accelerated, or
the engine hesitates or develops a flat

spot when accelerated. Poor acceleration is caused by either an excessively lean or rich mixture on acceleration and/ or defects or improper adjustments in the ignition system.

TESTS
FUEL PUMP TESTS
Two tests: fuel pump static pressure and fuel volume are necessary
to determine that the fuel pump is in
satisfactory condition.
If both the fuel pump volume and
pressure are within specifications
(pagel076) and the pump and lines
are in satisfactory condition, a vac- uum test is not required.
If the pump volume is low, but
the pressure is within specifications,
a fuel pump capacity test must be
made with the in-line filter, if fitted,

removed. If the pump volume meets


specifications with the filter removed,
replace the filter. If the pump volume is still below specifications,
repeat the capacity test, using an
auxiliary fuel supply. If the pump
volume still does not meet specifications, replace the pump. If the pump
does meet specifications, there is a
restriction in the fuel supply from
the tank or the tank is not venting
propedy.
The tests are performed with the
fuel pump installed on the engine
and the engine temperature stabi-

lized at the normal operating temp_erature. Make certain the replaceable fuel filter is not restricted or clogged. When in doubt,
install a new fuel filter prior to performing the tests. A clogged or
restricted filter is often the cause of
fuel system malfunction.
Pressure Test
1. Remove the carburettor air
cleaner assembly (page 1067 ). Disconnect the fuel inlet hose at the fuel
filter. Unscrew the filter from the
carburettor. Connect the fuel hose to
the filter and tighten the retaining

10-6
clamp. Use care to prevent combustion due to fuel spillage.
2. Connect a pressure gauge, restrictor and flexible hose (Fig. 1)
between the carburettor inlet port
and the fuel filter connections.
3. Position the flexible hose restrictor so that the fuel can be expelled into a suitable container (Fig.
I) for the capacity (volume) test.
4. Operate the engine at 500 rpm.
Vent the system into the container
by opening the hose restrictor
momentarily before taking a pressure
reading.
5. Operate the engine at 500 rpm.
Mter the fuel pump pressure has
stabilized, it should be to specification (page 1()-176).
Capacity (Volume) Test
Perform this test only when the
fuel pump pressure is within specifications (page 10-'76 ).
1. Operate the engine at 500 rpm.
2. Open the hose restrictor and
expel the fuel into the container
(Fig. 1), while observing the time
required to expel one pint; then close
the restrictor. One pint of fuel
should be expelled within the specified time limit (page 10-76 ).
3. Remove the test equipment,
and connect the fuel inlet line and
fuel filter assembly to the carburettor.
CARBURETTOR TESTS
Accelerating Pump Discharge
Test
1.

Remove the air cleaner (page l 0-6 7 ).

2. Open the primary throttle


plates and observe the fuel flow
from the accelerating pump discharge nozzles. If the system is operating correctly, a quick steady
stream of fuel will flow from the discharge nozzles.
Power By-Pass Jet Test
Stromberg BV-2:
A faulty power by-pass jet in this
carburettor will not adversely :1-Hcct
the engine idle. If the po.-:cr by-pass
jet is leaking, it will resu't in rich
part throttle operation and hi~h fuel
comumption. If t!-:.e po.ver by-pass
jet is not screwed down on 1ts seat
or is fitted with a faulty sealing gasket, richness will occur in both part
throttle and power application of the
carburet tor.
The power by-pass jet or sealing
gasket must be replaced if found
defective.
Power Valve Test
A power valve must not be re-

placed unless It is leaking sumclently
cause an unadjustable rough
engine Idle condition. Fuel accumulation in the power valve cover does
not necessarily indicate a defective
power valve. Fuel vapours will be
drawn into the vacuum side of the
power valve and condense during
periods of deceleration. Leakage in
the power valve area can be caused
by an improperly tightened cover or
defective gaskets. Any defect in the
gasket sealing qualities must be corrected before the power valve is replaced.
Power valve leakage that causes
an unadjustable rough engine idle
condition can be diagnosed, in most
instances, by the fact that the idle
mixture needle<s> must be nearly, or
completely seated in order to obtain
a relatively smooth engine idle condition. If power valve leakage is suspected, the following test procedure
must be performed.
to

1. Remove the carburettor from the


Intake manifold. Invert the carburettor.
2. Remove the glass bowl from the
fixture

(Fig. 2).

Fill the bowl half-

full of- water. Install the bowl on


the fixture.

3. Connect a line from a vacuum


pump to the fitting on top of the
fixture. Insert one end of the wand
Into the tube and attach the other
end of the tube to the fitting on the
side of the fixture. Slip a rubber
gasket over the small OD end or
the wand. Hold th1a end against the
power valve vacuum pick-up port

(Fig. 2).

cover, and cover gasket should be
replaced one at a time with a new
part and the test repeated unW the
source of leakage has been found. If
the source of leakage cannot be

found, the gasket seats are darnapd


and the defective parts should be
replaced.
A few bubbles may be noticed Immediately upon attaching the vacu-

um line. The bubbllnr should stop


within appro:.Umately 111 seconds or
after the air has been removed from
the system. If no bubbles are seen,
the power valve, gaskets and cover
are sealing properly.

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

All XA/ZF Falcon/Fairlane engines are


equipped with carburettors that feature
limiter caps fitted to the idle mixture
adjustment screws. The purpose of the
limiter caps is to limit the maximum idle
fuel/air mixture richness and so control
the quality of gases discharged from the
exhaust system.
Note: Carbon Monoxide emission level at
idle speed not to exceed 4.5%.
Two types of limiter cap are used on
current production carburettors.
1. Stromberg lV and 2V carburettors:
a free turning cap is fitted over the head of
the idle mixture adjusting screw/s preventing any alteration to the factory setting.
2. Motorcraft 2V and 4V carburettors:
fixed caps are fitted to the idle mixture
screws and adjustment is restricted to the
range provided for by tabs on the limiter
caps and stops incorporated in the carburettor body.
Under no circumstances should the idle
adjusting limiters or the limiter stops be
mutilated or deformed to render the limiters inoperative.
A satisfactory idle should be obtainable
within the range of the idle adjusting
limiters providing all other engine systems
are operating within specifications.
For idle speed and mixture adjustment
procedures refer to the specific carburettor
section.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

CADURmORS
Dirt, gum, water or carbon contamination in the carburettor or the
exterior moving parts of the carburettor are often responsible for unsatisfactory performance. For this reason
emcient carburetion depends upon
careful cleaning and inspection.
The cleaning and inspection of
only those parts not included in the
carburetor overhaul repair kit are
covered here. All gaskets and parts
included in the repair kit should be
installed when the carburettor is assembled and the old gaskets and
parts should be discarded.
Wash all the carburettor parts except
the accelerating pump diaphragm, and
the power valve in clean commercial
carburettor cleanmg solvent. If a
commercial solvent is not available,
lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol
may be used.

Rinse the parts in kerosene to remove all traces of the cleaning solvent, then dry them with compressed
air. Wipe all parts that cannot be
immersed in solvent with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. Be sure all dirt, gum,
carbon and other foreign matter are
removed from all parts.
Force compressed air tnrough all
passages of the carburetor. Do not
use a wire brush to dean any parts
or a drUI or wire to dean out any
openin1s or passa1es in the carburetor. A drill or wire may enlarge
the hole or passage, changing the
calibration of the carburettor.
Check the choke shaft for grooves,
wear and excessive looseness or
binding. Inspect the choke plate for
nicked edges and for ease of operation and free it if necessary. Make
sure all carbon and foreign material
has been removed from the automatic choke housing and the piston.
Check the operation of the automatic choke piston in the choke
housing to make certain it has free
movement.
Check the throttle shaft(s) in the
bore(s) for exceBBive loosenBBB or binding
and check the throttle plates for burrs
which prevent proper closure.
On Stromberg carburettors, check the

metallic float for leaks by holding

it under . water that has been heated


to just below the boiling point. Bubbles
will appear if there is a leak. If a float
leaks, replace it. Replace the float if the
arm needle contact surface is grooved.
If the float is serviceable, polish the
needle contact surface with crocus cloth
or steel wool. Replace the float shaft
if it is worn.
Replace all screws and nuts that
have stripped threads. Replace all
distorted or broken springs.
Inspect all gasket mating surfaces
for nicks and burrs. Repair or replace
any parts that have a damaged gasket surface.
On 2-V and 4-V oarburettors, inspect
the idle tubes in each nozzle bar 8886m
bly. If they are plugged, bent or broken,
replace the booster venturi and nozzle
bar 8886mbly.
FUEL PUMP
On all fuel pumps, except Carter
permanently sealed
types,
clean
the fuel pump body, valve housing
and cover. Blow out all body, housing and cover passages. Inspect the
pump body, valve housing, cover,
rocker arm, spring and pin for
cracks or damage and replace them
if necessary. If the fuel valYes are
not serviceable and replacement is
necessary, replace the valve housing
and valves as an assembly, Inspect
the mounting flange for distortion.

Remove the pump body or lap the


distorted flange if necessary.
On all Carter permanently sealed
fuel pumps, clean the fuel pump with
a cloth. Inspect the fuel pumps for
c:racka or damage. Inspect the moun~
1ng ftange for cllatortlon. Lap the
dlatorted flange, if nec:essary. Inspect.
the rocker arm for wear, cracks or
damage. The rocker arm spriD(, pin
and &be rocker arm are &be oDiy compoDeD&e on &be perm&Den&ly sealed
fael pampa &bat are replaeeable. U
any other fuel pump components are
damaged beyond repair, replace the
fuel pump.

AIR CLEANER
MAINTENANCE

Refer to Group 19 for the recommended air cleaner assembly maintenance mUeage interval.

10-13

REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION
Refer to page 10-67, Section 2 for

the air cleaner 8886mbly removal and


installation procedures.

FILTER ELEMENT
The eellulose fibre filter elemen~
must never be cleaned with a solvent
or cleanJnr solution. Also, oU must
not be added to the surfac:es of tha
filter element or air cleaner body.
There are two alternate procedures.
that can be used to clean the air
filter element. One method is performed with the use of compressed
air.
The other is perfomed by tapping
the element on a smooth horizontal
surface.

Compressed Air Method


Direct a stream of compressed air

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION
The Carburettor

(Figs.

1 and

2)

consists of three main assemblies, the


<uppen Air Horn , the <centre1 Main
Body and the <lower 1 Throttle Body.
The upper air horn assembly contains the power piston assembly, the
idle vent vahe and choke valve.
The centre main body contains the
major metering components of the
carburettor : the main and idle fuel
systems the power by-pass system.
the accelerating pump assembly, the
float chamber and the fuel inlet system.

The lower throttle body contains the


idle-mixture-adjusting screw and the
throttle valve.

OPERATION
The engine speed is controlled by
the proportion of fuel and air delivered to the cylinders for all engine
operating conditions.
Air is drawn into the carburettor
air horn by manifold vacuum. As the

air passes through the carburettor on


its way to enter the cylinders, a reduced pressure is created at the fuel
discharge outlets.

The fuel bowl is vented to atmosphere at closed throttle and to carburettor air inlet pressure through a
vent tube in the upper air horn at
all other throttle positions. The high
air pressure exerted on the fuel in
the chamber forces fuel to travel up
through the fuel discharge channels
and out into the air stream passing
through the carburetor. The fuel and
air are mixed at this point and distributed to the engine cylinders for
combustion.
FUEL INLET SYSTEM

The fuel inlet system (Fig. 3) of


the carburettor maintains a predetermined fuel level in the fuel bowl.
The fuel level in the chamber is
extremely important to carburettor
calibration. If the level of the fuel
in the chamber is below the specified
setting, a lean fuel air mixture will
result. A rich fuel air mixture
occur from a higher than specified
fuel level. The entire calibration of
the carburettor is disturbed if the fuel
level is not set as specified.

will

Fuel enters the chamber through


the fuel-inlet needle-valve-and-seat
assembly. The amount of fuel entering is regulated by the distance the
needle valve is moved off the seat
and by fuel pump pressure. Correct
fuel pump pressure is required to
maintain the carburettor fuel level
within the specified limits.

FIG. 1-3/4 Left Rear View

The fuel level is maintained at a


pre-determined level by the float and
lever assembly which controls the
movement of the needle valve. The

needle valve, contacting the tab of
the ftoat and lever assembly, reacts
to any change in height of the ftoat
and the fuel level in the ftoat chamber.
IDLE FUEL SYSTEM

The idle fuel system functions


when the engine is operating at low
R.P.M. It supplies the fuel-air mixture when the air ftow through the
carburettor venturi is insufficient to
operate the main metering system.
The range of the idle system will
extend into the operation of the main
metering system. Fuel ftows from the
main channel, up the idle tube channel and through the calibrated idle
tube assembly. Filtered air from the
carburettor air horn enters the idleair-bleed and mixes with the fuel.
The air bleed also serves as a vent to
prevent syphoning of fuel at high
speeds or when the engine is shut off.
The fuel-air mixture then passes
through the idle down channel and
is transferred to the idle channel in
the throttle body. The fuel-air mixture passes down the idle channel,
past the progression holes, to the idle
. needle valve. The progression holes
act as additional air bleeds at normal
idle. The fuel-air mixture ftows past
the idle needle valve and seat and is
discharged through the idle discharge
nozzle located below the throttle

valve. The amount of mixture to be


discharged is determined by the
position of the idle needle valve in
relation to its seat in the throttle
body.
During off-idle operation, when the
throttle valve is moved past the idle
progression holes, each hole begins
discharging fuel as it is exposed to
the lower air pressure (manifold
vacuum>. Continued opening of the
throttle valve increases engine R.P.M.
and air ftow through the carburettor.
The greater air ftow through the

The main fuel metering system


(Fig. 4 > supplies the fuel required
during the cruise or part-throttle
range. The system begins to function when the air ftow through the
carburettor venturi creates sufficient
vacuum to start fuel flowing in the
main system.
The vacuum at the
tip of the main discha-rge jet will
increase as the air flow increases.
The faster the engine operates, the
more fuel will flow through the
main fuel system.
Fuel entering the main metering
jet, located at the base of the inclined main channel, ftows upwards
to the main discharge jet. Air from
the calibrated high-speed bleed ftows
down the high-speed bleed channel
and enters the main channel. The
air passes through holes spaced along
the body of the main discharge jet,
mixing with the fuel passing up the
main channel. The fuel and air mixture being lighter than solid fuel,
responds faster to changes in venturi pressures. The mixture ftows to
the tip of the main discharge jet
to be discharged into the filtered air
moving past and through the small
venturi.

fuel. The air ftow through the carburettor responds almost immediately
to any increase in carburettor throttle
valve opening. The fuel '1\ithin the
metering passages will lag momentarily in its response to the pressure
difference created by this increased
air ftow. This lag in fuel response
will cause a temporary leanness in
the fuel-air mixture that results In
a. hesitation in engine acceleration.
A mechanically operated accelerating
pump system (Fig. 5) supplies added
fuel to provide a richer fuel-air mixture for this brief period of time.
The accelerating pump, located in
the main body, is controlled by levers
connected to the throttle shaft. When
the throttle is opened the pump
spring actuates the piston and forces

fuel from the accelerating pump cylinder into the discharge channel. (The
carburettor as fitted to all models except
the 25 0 CID Manual features a small bleed
back hole in the accelerator pump stem.
The accelerator pump fitted to auto transmission vehicles has a shorter pump stroke
than the one fitted to manual transmission
models). The inlet pump check valve closes
to prevent a reverse flow of fuel. Fuel under
pressure travels through the pump discharge
valve and up to the pump restrictor.
The fuel is sprayed from the pump
rcstrictor into the air stream above the
main venturi.
When the throttle valve is closed
on deceleration, the throttle shaft
levers allow the piston to return to
its upper position drawing fuel
through the inlet pump check valve
while the pump discharge valve closes

When the engine is required to


deliver more power to meet an increased road-load demand or wideopen-throttle operation, the carburettor must deliver a. richer fuel-ail' mixture than supplied during the operation of the main fuel system at
cruise or part throttle operation.
When the engine is running under
a. high power demand, intake manifold vacuum is low. The vacuum below the throttle valve approximates
intake manifold vacuum. The carburettor power by-pass jet <Fig. 6
will open when the manifold vacuum
drops below a predetermined value.
The fuel-air mixture is thus automatically enriched to meet the increased power demands.
Manifold vacuum is transmitted
from an opening below the throttle
valve, through a channel to the upper
air hom and to the top of the vacuum
power piston. (An additional opening into the power piston vacuum
channel is located in the throttle body
bore above the throttle valve. This
opening bleeds down the vacuum applied to the power piston under certain conditions where the throttle is
only partly open. By this means the
power by-pass jet is activated instantaneously and provides smoother and
more economical engine operation.)
At idle and normal engine speeds, the
manifold vacuum is great enough to
hold the power piston up.
The power piston is connect~d to
the power piston rod. The foot of
the rod controls the spring-loaded
power by-pass jet. With the piston
held up by manifold vacuum, the
power by-pass jet is closed.
The power piston spring is located
on the rod. The spring is calibrated
to overcome the vacuum above the
piston when manifold vacuum drops
below a pre-determined level. Upon
demand for more power, the manifold vacuum drops below this level.
The spring tension moves the rod
down and opens the power by-pass
jet by depressing the pin projecting
above the head of the valve. Air
pressure above the ftoat chamber
forces fuel to flow through the power
by-pass jet, adding to fuel in the
main system, enriching the fuel-air
mixture.
As the demand for power decreases
and manifold vacuum increases, the
vacuum above the piston overcomes
the spring tension. The piston and

SPRING

FIG. 6-Power Fuel System -Typical

The fuel bowl requires venting <Fig.


7) to provide proper operation for
the va1'ious systems. Fuel vapours
may form in the ftoat chamber when
a hot engine Is stopped, Idling or
operating at very low speeds.
By
venting the ftoat-chamber to atmosphere by means of a vent control
valve, engine performance Is Improved.
At higher engine speeds,
venting to the carburettor air horn
prevents calibration changes due to
normal air cleaner contamination.
The vent valve, located over and
operated by the pump stem, is at
the open position during closed or
low part-throttle operation. In this
position, the valve allows venting to
the atmosphere.
At higher partthrottle or wide-open throttle operation, the valve closes, venting the carburetor internally to p1'essures in the
air horn.

IDLE LIMITER CAPS
Should the idle limiter caps need replacement because of deformation or readjustment of idling mixture to meet
emission level requirements, the following
'thermal conductivity' type of gas analyzer
found in most service shops is not accurate
enough to give the required carbon monoxide readings.
1. Remove the air cleaner.
2. Cut the plastic limiter cap and carefully pry the cap apart and remove it from
the idle adjustment screw.
3. Replace the air cleaner.
4. Set the ignition timing to specification.

To check the pump stroke :


1. Start the engine and run at idle
to normalise engine temperature. Set
the engine to the correct idle speed.
This is important as it gives the correct closed throttle position.
2. Stop engine and remove c~.ir

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

In common with other WW series carburettors, these units are of the dual-barrel downdraught type
with each barrel having its own Idle System, Main Metering System and Throttle Valve. The two barrels
have a common Float System, Accelerating System and Power System. Each barrel is equipped with a main
and an auxiliary Venturi (Choke Tube).
The carburettors employ an automatic choke control situated in the throttle body, and activated by
hot air delivered to the choke control through a pipe attached to the exhaust manifold.
The float chamber is vented to atmosphere at closed throttle, (i.e. when idling or stopped) and to
carburettor air inlet pressure, through a passage and vent tube in the air horn, at all other throttle positions.
The vacuum connection for the distributor vacuum spark advance is located in the main body. A drilled
passage through the main body meets a channel in the throttle body to transmit the vacuum from the
vacuum spark hole (or holes) located in the throttle body.
A steel connector for the positive crankcase ventilation hose is located in the carburettor throttle body.

GROUP 10-FUEL SYSTEM

10-24

FLOAT SYSTEM (Fig. 2)

OPERATION

IOU DISCHARGE HOU5

IDLE SYSTEM (Figs. 2 and 3)


Identical idle systems supply each barrel with
the correctly proportioned fuel/air mixture
required for idling operation.

FIG. 1 -

3/4 Left Rear View

Fuel enters the carburettor at the fuel inlet,


flowing through the float needle valve and seat into
the float chamber. When the fuel reaches a
predetermined level, the float shuts off the fuel
supply by closing the needle valve against its seat.

The throttle valves are held open to the correct


slow-idle position by the slow idle adjustment
screw. By turning this screw the throttle valve
opening is varied . thereby controlling the amount
of air entering the engine and regulating the idle
speed . (A single barrel only will be considered in
the following explanation).

The needle valve is equipped with a viton


rubber tip to provide increased service life and
greater tolerance of any dirt particles that may
enter with the fuel.
As previously mentioned, the float chamber is
vented internally through a passage and vent tube
whenever the engine is running above idle speed.
(Internal venting ensures that any reduction of air
pressure in the air horn, due to a restricted air
cleaner, is balanced by a similar reduction in the air
pressure acting on the fuel in the float chamber.
The fuel/air mixture ratio will therefore remain
unchanged under these conditions).
When the engine is stopped or whilst idling,
the float chamber is vented to atmosphere via the
opening in the air horn, through which the
accelerating pump piston stem passes.
This opening is normally closed by a metal
vent washer which is lifted clear of the vent orifice
by a small pin in the pump piston stem as the
throttles return to slow-idle position. The purpose
of the external vent is to permit the escape uf fuel
vapours formed in the float chamber under high
temperature operating conditions. Additionally,
the throttle body has two small vents, one in each
barrel to permit the escape of fuel vapours which
may accumulate in this area. (Refer Fig. 2.)

tOil DISCHARGE HOlES

FIG. 3
With the throttle valve closed to idle position,
engine depression is concentrated on the idle
discharge nozzle located below the throttle valve.
Consequently, fuel flows from the base of the main
discharge jet through the idle tube (Slow-Running Jet)
where it is metered by a calibrated orifice in the base
of the tube.
The metered fuel mixes with air taken in through
the idle air bleed, and the resulting fuel/air emulsion
passes down the idle channel where it mixes with
additional air passing through the secondary idle air
bleed and through the two upper idle discharge holes.
The mixture finally passes from the idle discharge
nozzle into the air passing the partly open throttle.

10-25

PART 10-3-STROMBERG WW CARBURETTOR


The quantity of mixture discharged through the nozzle
is controlled by an adjustable idle needle valve. Turning
this needle valve "IN" weakens the idle mixture and
turning it "OUT" enriches the mixture.
As the throttle valve is opened slightly, the upper
idle discharge holes com(. under engine depression and
supply the additional fuel required for increased engine
speed.

MAIN METERING SYSTEM (Fig. 4)


The main metering system supplements the idle
system and provides the additional fuel required during
the intermediate or part throttle range of operation.
AUXIUAlY VINTUII
TUII

FIG. 4

THROTTLI VAt. VI

FIG. 5

During idle and part throttle operation inlet


manifold vacuum is sufficient to hold the vacuum
piston "UP" against its spring. The power by-pass
jet is closed and all mixture is supplied by the main
metering and idle systems.
When the throttle valves are opened beyond a
certain point the manifold vacuum drops to a
lower value than the spring force and the vacuum
piston moves "DOWN" opening the power by-pass
jet and allowing additional fuel to flow into the
two main metering discharge systems.

TIOml VAt.VI

Each barrel is equipped with its own main


metering system, the method of operation of the
two systems being identical. (A single barrel only
will be considered in the following explartation).
With the throttle valve in a partially open
position, air flow through the main and auxiliary
venturis (choke tubes) produces a depression at the
outlet of the main discharge jet. As a result, fuel
flows from the float chamber through the main
metering jet and into the main discharge jet where
it mixes with air taken in through the high speed
bleeder. This fuel/air emulsion then discharges into
the air stream passing through the auxiliary and
main venturis.
POWER SYSTEM (Fig. 5)
A common power system supplies each main
metering discharge system with the additional fuel
required for the development of maximum engine
power.
This additional fuel is provided by the action
of a vacuum piston located in the air horn which
automatically controls the opening of the power
by-pass jet in accordance with throttle opening and
engine load. Inlet manifold vacuum is maintained
above the vacuum piston through a vacuum
channel which leads to the mounting flange of the
carburettor.

FIG. 6

TI<TTLI VAI.VI

To ensure smooth acceleration, additional fuel


must be supplied to the engine during the period of
acceleration .
This is achieved by the use of an accelerating
pump which is operated by the throttle linkage. As
the throttle valves are opened, the pump lever
compresses the pump-piston-duration spring and
the pump piston is forced down, creating a
pressure which closes the inlet ball check valve, and
forces a quantity of fuel through the outlet ball
check valve and pump discharge nozzle (Fig. 6).
The pump piston duration spring ensures the pump
discharge is spread over a predetermined period of
time .

When the accelerator pedal is released the


pump piston is drawn up and the outlet ball check
valve closes (preventing the entry of air into the
pump system) whilst a fresh fuel charge is drawn in
through the now open inlet ball check valve.
The pump discharge nozzle is vented through
the float chamber ve.nt tube to prevent Joss of fuel
from the pump circuit at high ehgine-speeds when
a low depression is created at the nozzle outlet by
the high air-flow through the carburettor.

AUTOMATIC CHOKE (Fig. 8)


The automatic choke control is built integral
with the carburettor throttle body. The control
consists of a thermostat spring (I) activated by hot
air drawn through a pipe from the exhaust
manifold (302) ot cylinder head (250).
The thermostat spring is connected to the
offset choke valve (4) through the thermostat lever
(2), choke rod (3) and choke lever (5). Other
components of the choke system are the choke
kick diaphragm (6) which is dCtuated by inlet
manifold vacuum through a connecting tube and
vacuum passage in the carburettor, and the fast idle
mechanism (Fig. 9) which operates in conjunction
with the automatic choke control to provide the
correct fast idle speeds to prevent stalling during
the engine warm-up period.
An integral part of the choke lever is the choke
modulation spring (7). This spring provides
additional choke valve control as desc'ribed later in
this section.

When the engine fires, inlet manifold vacuum

CHOKE MODULATION SPRING (Fig. 8)


The choke modulation spring (7) is an integral
part of the choke lever (5) and provides additional
choke valve control in the following manner.
CHOKE IN WARM IDLE POSITION

As the engine warms, the amount the choke


valve opens in excess of the diaphragm kick
opening is governed by the balance of the forces of
thermostat coil tension and air velocity.
If the throttle opening is increased the
increased air velocity against the offset choke valve
causes the valve to open against the tension of the
thermostat spring.
Heat from the exhaust manifold or cylinder head
gradually decreases the thermostat spring tension,
allowing the choke valve to open progressively until
it assumes its full open position when the engine is
at normal d erating tern erature.

FIG. 11

FAST IDLE
CAM

FIG. 10

During this warm up period, as the choke valve


opens, the fast idle rod allows the unbalanced fast
idle cam to rotate so that the fast idle stop screw
rests on successively lower steps of the cam. The
engine will therefore idle at progressively slower
fast idle speeds until the next phase of operation is
reached, namely :CHOKE OPEN - ENGINE WARM - SLOW
IDLE (Fi2. 11)
With the engine at normal operating
temperature (choke valve wide open) the fast idle
cam rotates to its fully released position with ~pace
between the cam and the end of the fast idle stop
screw.
The throttle opening is now controlled entirely
by the slow idle adjustment screw which is set to
provide the normal specified slow idle speed.

When the engine is cold, the choke thermostat


spring ( 1) exerts a closing force on the choke valve
( 4 ). The colder the temperature the greater is the
closing force exerted .
Immediately the engine fires , the choke kick
diaphragm unit (6) endeavours to open the choke
valve to prevent overrichness.
Depending upon the engine temperature and
the resulting thermostat spring force acting to close
the choke valve, the modulation spring will deflect
a varying amount, thereby altering the amount the
choke valve is effectively opened.
In cold temperatures the choke valve will be
opened less than in warmer temperatures.
WIDE OPEN KICK DEVICE

In cases where a cold engine does not start


readily and becomes flooded, it is necessary to
admit air to the engine to clean out the excess fuel
before starting is possible . This is achieved with the
WW series by opening the throttles wide when a
projecting ear on the throttle lever contacts an
extension on the fast idle cam forcing the cam to
rotate and pulling open the choke valve against the
thermostat spring tension.
Further cranking of the engine with the
throttle held wide open will clean ou t the manifold
and allow the engine to start.

IDLE SPEED AND MIXTURE


ADJUSTMENT.
All Stromberg carburettors fitted to XA/ZF
Falcon/Fairlane engines are equipped with limiter
caps on .the idle mixture adjusting screws. The
limiters control the maximum idle richness and
help prevent unauthorised persons from making
overly rich idle adjustments.
Note: Carbon Monoxide emission at idle speed not
to exceed 4.5%.
The limiter cap fitted to the Stromberg carburettor is free turning on the head of the idle mixture
adjusting screw , therefore THE ONLY IDLE
ADJUSTMENT ALLOWABLE IN NORMAL SERVICE IS THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED.
A satisfactory idle should be obtained, providing
all other engine systems are operating within
specifications.
I. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached.
2. Attach a tachometer to the engine.
3. Turn on the headlamps to place the alternator
under load and turn on the air conditioner if so
equipped.
4. On a car with manual transmission the engine
idle speed is checked and adjusted with the gearshift lever in neutral position. On an automatic
transmission car the idle speed is first checked and
adjusted with the transmission selector lever in the
neutral position and again with the lever in the
drive range position.

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

CARBURETIOR REPAIRS
Clean exterior of carburettor to facilitate
handling and disassembly. Cleanliness of hands,
bench and tools is essential for efficient
carburettor servicing.
Separate the carburettor into its three basic
sub-assemblies, namely - Air Horn, Main Body and
Throttle Body.
Disassemble each sub-assembly into its
component parts, using the following special tools
in addition to normal workshop tools.
Stromberg Tool Part No. 73605 - for bending
float lever when adjusting the float level.
Stromberg Tool Part No. 73606 - for removal and
replacement of main metering jets (Item 32, Fig. 20).
Stromberg Tool Part No. 73608- for removal and
replacement of the main discharge jets (Item 31,
Fig. 20). NOTE: Unless damage is evident or
suspected the main discharge jets should not be
disturbed.
DISASSEMBLY
The throttle valves in the open position extend
below the throttle body flange. Care should be
exercised to avoid damaging the valves or changing
their position in the throttle bores. It is
recommended that a suitable holding fixture be
made up and used when servicing these units.

AIR HORN (Fig. 20)


Remove vacuum power piston ( 19) using a
block of wood and small open end wrench as a pry.

This item is staked in position.


NOTE: The pump lever fulcrum screw ( 12) has a

Choke valve securing screws (7) are staked in
their shafts. When removing choke valve (8) file off
flared end of screws before unscrewing.
MAIN BODY (Fig. 20)
The idle tubes (26) are removed by lifting out
of their recesses in main body.
When pump pistoa (70) is removed place palm
of hand over pump cylinder and invert main body
to remove pump inlet check ball ( 65) from
cylinder.
Place hand over float chamber when removing
spring clip (63) to prevent possible Injury from
flying clip.
After pump nozzle (21) is removed, invert
main body and catch outlet check ball (23) as it
drops from channel.
THROTTLE BODY (Fig. 20)
NOTE: Because of the very accurate production
fit, the throttle shaft and valves should not be
removed unless excessive wear is evident.
Throttle valve securing screws ( 41) are staked
in their shaft. If removing valves, file off flared end
of screws before unscrewing.
INSPECTION
Having disassembled each sub-assembly,
thoroughly clean all castings and metal parts in a
suitable cleaning solvent and blow out all passages
and tubes with compressed air. Inspect castings for

10-32

damage, excessive wear, burrs and warpage. Make


certain the throttle body is free of all hard carbon
deposits.
Clean all jets and main discharge jets (if
removed) by washing in cleaning solvent and
blowing through with air. Do not clean or size
these parts with drills or wires as such treatment
will affect their metering characteristics.
Discard all old gaskets and washers and use a
new Gasket Set when assembling. Genuine Repair
Kits are available and contain all components
required for a normal overhaul.
ASSEMBLY

Re-assembly each sub-assembly replacing all


components exhibiting damage or excessive wear.
PartiCular attention should be paid to the following
points.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

AUTOMATIC
E

The Motorcraft Model 21 00-D 2- V


carburettor (Figs. 1, and 2) has two
main assemblies, the air hom and the
main body.
The air hom assembly, which
serves as the main body cover,
contains the choke plate, choke
diaphragtn assembly and the internal
vents for the fuel bowl.
The throttle plate, the accelerating
pump assembly, the power valve
assembly, and the fuel bowl are in the
main body. The automatic choke
housing is attached to the main body.
Each bore contains a main and
booster venturi, main fuel discharge,
accelerating pump discharge, idle
fuel dis<;:harge and a throttle plate.
The Motorcraft Model 21 00-D 2-V
used on the 351-C engine has a
unique two-piece fast idle lever and
the crankcase emission hose connection is incorporated in the main body.
OPERATION

FUEL INLET SYSTEM


The amount of fuel entering the
fuel bowl (Fig. 3) is regulated by the
distance the fuel inlet needle is raised
off its seat and by fuel pump pressure. Movement of the fuel inlet
needle in relation to the seat is controlled by the float and lever assembly
which rises and falls with the fuel level. When the fuel in the fuel bowl
reaches a pre-set level, the float low-

bowl. The retainer fits into a groove
on the outside of the fuel inlet nee-

die seat. The ends of the retainer are


hooked over grooves on opposite
ends of the float shaft.

10-35

The fuel bowl is internally vented


into the air cleaner. It is also externally vented to the atmosphere.
AUTOMATIC CHOKE SYSTEM
The choke plate, located in the air
horn above the barrels, when closed,
provides a high vacuum above as
well as below the throttle plates. With
a vacuum above the throttle plates,
fuel will flow from the main fuel system as well as from the idle fuel system. This provides the extremely rich
fuel mixture necessary for cold engine operation.
The carburettor choke shaft is
linked to a thermostatic choke control mechanism mounted on the main
body (Fig. 4).
The linkage between the choke lever and the throttle shaft is designed
so that the choke plate will partially
open when the accelerator pedal is
fully depressed. This permits unloading of a flooded engine.
The automatic choke is equipped
with a bimetal thermostatic spring
and a vacuum piston (Fig. 4). The
bimetal thermostatic spring mechanism winds up when cold and unwinds when warm. When the engine
is cold, the thermostatic spring,
through attaching linkage, holds the
choke piston upward and the choke
plate in a closed position prior to
engine start. Manifold vacuum channeled through a passage in the choke
control housing draws the choke
vacuum piston downward, exerting an
opening force on the choke plate.
When the engine is started, manifold vacuum, acting directly on the
piston located in the choke housing,
immediately moves the choke plate
against the tension of the thermostatic spring to a partially open position
to prevent stalling.
As the engine continues to operate, manifold vacuum draws heated
air from the inlet manifold heat
chamber. The amount of air entering
the choke housing is controlled by
restrictions in the air passages in the
carburet tor.
The warmed air enters the choke
housing and heats the thermostatic
spring, causing it to unwind. The tension of the thermostatic spring gradually decreases as the temperature of
the air from the heat chamber rises,
allowing the choke plate to open. The
air is exhausted into the intake manifold.
When the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, the thermostatic spring exerts tension on the

so that the choke plate will partially
open when the accelerator pedal is
fully depressed. This permits unloading of a flooded engine.

choke plate forcing it to the full
open position. In this position, thr
choke piston is at its lowest point in
the cylinder. Slots in the piston chamber wall allow sufficient air to bleed
past the piston and into the intake
manifold, causing a continual flow of
warm air to pass through the thermostatic spring housing. The spring remains heated and the choke plate remains fully open until the engine is
stopped and allowed to cool.
The choke rod actuates the fast
idle cam during choking. Steps on the
edge of the fast idle cam contact the
fast idle adjusting screw. This permits
a faster engine idle speed for smoother running when the engine is cold.
As the choke plate is moved through
its range of travel from the closed to
the open position, the choke rod rotates the fast idle cam. Each step on
the fast idle cam permits a slower idle
rpm as engine temperature rises and
choking is reduced.
During the warm-up period, if the
engine should reach the stall point
due to a lean mixture, manifold vacuum will drop considerably. The tension of the thermostatic spring then
overcomes the lowered vacuum acting on the choke piston and the
choke plate is moved toward the
closed position, providing a richer
mixture to help prevent stalling.

The linkage between the choke lever and the throttle shaft is designed

IDLE FUEL SYSTEM


The difference in pressure between
the fuel bowl and the idle discharge
port forces fuel through the idle fuel
system. Fuel flows from the fuel bowl
through the main jet and into the bottom of the main well (Fig. 5).
From the main well, the fuel flows
up through the idle tube and through
a short diagonal passage in the booster venturi assembly into the idle passage in the main body. A calibrated
restriction, at the upper tip of the idle
tube, meters the flow of fuel.
Air enters the idle system from the
air bleed, located directly above the
idle tube. The air bleed also acts as a
vent to prevent siphoning at off idle
or high speeds and when the engine is
stopped. Additional air is bled into
the system through an air bleed located at the bottom of the diagonal
passage in the booster venturi wh"re
the fuel enters the idle passage in
the main body.
Fuel flows down the idle passage in
the main body past three idle transfer
holes. The idle transfer holes act as
additional air bleeds at curb idle. The

fuel then flows past the pointed tip of


the adjusting needle which controls
the idle fuel discharge. From the adjusting needle chamber, the fuel flows
through a short horizontal passage
and is discharged below the throttle
plates.
During off idle when the throt\le
plate is moved slightly past the idle
transfer holes, each hole begins discharging fuel as it is exposed to manifold vacuum. As the throttle plate is
opened still wider and engine speed
increases, the air flow through the
carburetor is also increased. This
creates a vacuum in the booster venturi strong enough to bring the main
fuel system into operation. Fuel flow
from the idle fuel system tapers off
as the main fuel system begins discharging fuel.
ACCELERATING SYSTEM
Upon acceleration, the air flow
through the carburettor responds almost immediately to the increased
throttle opening. There is, however, a
brief interval before the flowing fuel,
which is heavier than air, can gain
the required flow speed to maintain
the desired balance of fuel and air.
During the interval, the accelerating
system (Fig. 6) supplies fuel until
the other systems can once again
provide the proper mixture.
When the throttle is closed, the
diaphragm return spring forces the
diaphragm toward the cover, drawing
fuel into the chamber through the inlet. The inlet has an Elastomer
valve which uncovers the inlet hole
to admit fuel from the fuel bowl.
The valve covers the inlet hole when
the accelerating pump is operated to
prevent the fuel from returning to
the bowl. A discharge weight and
ball check prevents air from entering the discharge nozzle when fuel
is drawn into the diaphragm chamber.
When the throttle is opened, the
diaphragm rod is forced inward, forcing fuel from the chamber into the
discharge passage. Fuel under pressure forces the pump discharge
weight and ball off their seat and fuel
passes through the accelerating pump
discharge screw and is sprayed into
each main venturi through discharge
ports .
. An air bleed in the wall of the accelerating pump fuel chamber prevents vapor entrapment and pressure
build-up in the diaphragm chamber.

MAIN FUEL SYSTEM
As engine speed increases, the air
passing through the booster venturi
creates a vacuum. The amount of
vacuum is determined by the air flow
through the venturi, which in turn is
regulated by the speed of the engine.
The difference in pressure between
the main discharge port and the fuel
bowl causes fuel to flow through the
maio fuel system (Fig. 7).
At a predetermined venturi vacuum, fuel flows from the fuel bowl,
through the maio jets, and into the
bottom of the main well. The fuel
moves up the main well tube past air
bleed holes. Filtered air from the
high speed air bleed enters the fuel
flow in the main well tube through
holes in the side of the tube . The high
speed air bleed meters an increasing
amount of air to the fuel as venturi
vacuum increases, maintaining the re
quired fuel-air ratio. The mixture of
fuel and air is lighter than raw fuel
and responds faster to changes in
venturi vacuum. It also atomizes
more readily tha-n raw fuel. The fuel
an. i air continue up the main well
tube past another air bleed which
also acts as a vent to prevent siphoning when the engine is shut down.
The fuel is discharged into the boost
er venturi where it is atomized and
mixed with air flowing through the
carburettor.
The throttle plate controls the
amount of the fuel-air mixture admi_tted to the intake manifold, regulatmg the speed and power output of
the engine.
A balance tube is located in each
barrel directly below the booster venturi. When decelerating, the balance
tube siphons off any excess fuel droplets remaining around the edge of the
booster venturi and discharges the
droplets into the equalizing slots in
the base of the carburetor where they
are mixed with the idle fuel. The
balance tube also acts as an addi-

tiona) air bleed during the idle fuel
system operation.

POWER FUEL SYSTEM


During periods of increased road
loads or high speed operation, the
fuel-air ratio must be increased for
added power. The added fuel required during this period is supplied
by the power fuel system (Fig. 8).
The power fuel system is controlled by the intake manifold vacuum.
Manifold vacuum is transmitted
from an opening in the base of the
main body, through a passage in the
main body and power valve chamber
to the power valve diaphragm. The
manifold vacuum, acting on the power valve at idle speed or normal road

load conditions, is great enough to


hold the power valve diaphragm
down, overcoming the tension of the
spring on the valve stem and holding
the valve closed. When high power
operation places a greater load on
the engine and manifold vacuum
drops below a predetermined value,
the spring opens the power valve.
Fuel from the fuel bowl flows
through the power valve and into
passages leading to the maio fuel
well. Here the fuel is added to the
fuel from the main fuel system, en
riching the mixture.
As engine power demands are re
duced, manifold vacuum increases.
The increased vacuum overcomes the
tension of the valve_stem spring and
closes the power valve.

IN CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

CARBU!tETTOR ADJUSTMENTS

The adjustments described and


illu strated in this part should be
performed JS required to retain the desired
engine performance characteristics. Refer
to the specifications whenever carburettor
adjustments are made.
IDLE SPEED AND FUEL
MIXTURE

All carburettors are equipped with idle


fuel mixture adjusting limiters. The
limiters control the maximum idle richness
Jnd help prevent unauthorized persons
from making overly ri<.:h idle adjustment.
The plastic idle limiter cap is installed
on the head of the idle fuel mixture
adjusting screws), (Fig. 9). Any adjustment made on carburettors having
this type of limiter must be within the

runge of the idle adjusting limiter. Under


no circumstances are the idle adjusting
limiters or the limiter stops on the
carburettor to be mutilated or deformed to
render the limiters inoperative On the
Motorcraft Model 2100-D 2-V carburettor,
the power valve cover must be installed
with the limiter stops on the cover in
position to provide a positive stop for tabs
on the idle adjusting limiters (Fig. 9).

PART 10-4 MOTORCRAFT MODEL 2100 CARBURETTOR


A satisfactory idle should be

the specified engine idle speed.
6. The final idle speed adjustment is
made with the air conditioner (if
equipped) turned ON.
7. Adjust the engine curb idle rpm
to specifications. The tachometer reading
(rpm) must be taken with the air cleaner
installed. On vehicles with less than 50
miles, ~et the idle speed approximately 25

rpm increase as the engine loosens up in
the first 100 miles of driving.
If it is not possible to adjust the idle
speed with the air cleaner installed;
remove it, make the adjustment, then
replace the air cleaner and check again for
the specified rpm.
Manual transmission vehicles may be
fitted with a solenoid throttle positioner.
However this is not connected on these
engines and must be adjusted so as not to
affect the engine idle speed. Idle speed
adjustment is to be made on the normal
throttle stop screw.

ADDITIONAL IDLE SPEED
AND FUEL MIXTURE
PROCEDURES
If satisfactory idle condition is not
obtained after performing the preceding
normal idle fuel settings, additional checks
of engine systems must be performed.
1. The following items should be
checked and, if required, corrected.
a. Vacuum leaks
b. Ignition system wiring continuity
c. Spark plugs
d. Distributor breaker point dwell
angle
e. Distributor point condition
f. Initial ignition timing
In certain instances, it may be possible
that the idle condition is not as good as
normally expected. It is suggested that the
customer with a new vehicle be advised
that the vehicle be driven 50 to I 00 miles.
Then, when the engine friction has been
reduced, the idle condition should be
improved. If, after the break-in period, the
idle condition is believed to be
unsatisfactory, re-adjust the engine idle
speed to specification and observe for a
satisfactory idle.
2. If the idle condition is not
improved after the items in Step 1 have
been checked, perform the following
engine mechanical checks:
a. Fuel Level
b. Crankcase ventilation system
c. Valve clearance (using the
collapsed tappet method for hydraulic
valves)
d. Engine compression
3. After verification of all engine
systems has been made. there may be
isolated cases where a satisfactory idle
condition has not been obtained, due
possibly to a lean idle fuel mixture. If this
condition is encountered, refer to the
following operation REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION OF IDLE LIMITER
CAPS.

10-40
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
OF IDLE LIMITER CAPS
Should the idle limiter caps need
replacement because of deformation, mutilation or readjustment of idle mixture to
meet emission level requirements the
following procedure must be adhered to
as the 'thermal conductivity' type of gas
analyzer found in most service shops is not
accurate enough to give the required carbon
monoxide readings.
1. Remove the air cleaner.
2. Cut the plastic limiter cap and
carefully pry apart and remove it from
the idle adjustment screw.
3. Replace the air cleaner.
4. Set the ignition timing to specification.
5. Attach an accurate tachometer to
the engine.
6. Run the engine until the normal
operating temperature is reached.
7. Adjust the idle air/fuel mixture
screws to give the best quality idle at 20
R.P.M. above the specified speed.
B. Lean off the idle air/fuel mixture
screws an equal amount on each screw by
turning in a clockwise direction until the
engine R.P.M. drops to the specified idle
speed.
9. Remove the air cleaner.
l 0. Install the blue plastic service limiter cap.
Use care not to turn the idle mixture
when installing the cap. Position the cap
so that it is in the maximum counterclockwise position with the tab of the
limiter against the stop on the carburetor.
The idle mixture screw will then be at
the maximum allowable outward or rich
setting. To install the service limiter cap,
use a straight forward push with thumb
pressure or a 3/8" rod.
11. Replace the air cleaner and recheck
the idle speed to ensure that the mixture
screws were not accidently rotated while
fitting the limiter caps.
12. Remove the tachometer from the
engine.
FAST IDLE
ADJUSTMENT

The fast idle adjusting screw (Fig. 12)


contacts one edge of the fast idle cam.
The cam permits a faster engine idle
speed for smoother running when the
engine is cold during choke operation. As
the choke plate is moved through its range
of travel from the closed to the open
position, the fast idle cam pick-up lever
rotates the fast idle cam. Each position on
the fast idle cam permits a slower idle rpm
as engine temperature rises and choking is
reduced.

GROUP 10-FUEL SYSTEM


Make certain the curb idle speed and
mixture are adjusted to specification
before attempting to set the fast idle
speed.
1. With
the engine
operating

GROUP 10-FUEL SYSTEM

With the air born removed, the float


raised and the fuel inlet needle seated,
check the distance between the top
surface of the main body (psket removed)
and the top surface of the float for
conformance to specifications. Depress the
float tab to seat the fuel inlet needle. Take
the measurement near the center of the
float at a point 1/8 inch from the free end
of the float.
If the cardboard float g;tu8t is used,
place the puge in t ..e comer of the
enlarged end section of the fuel bowl (Fig.
16). The gauge should touch the float near
the end, but not on the end radius.
If necessary, bend the tab on the float
to bring the setting within the specified
limits. This should provide the proper
preliminary fuel level setting.

The measurement must be made at least


1/4 inch away from any vertical surface to
assure an accurate reading, because the
surface of the fuel is concave (higher at
the edges than in the centre). Care must be
exercised to measure the fuel level at the
point of contact with the float with the
fuel. Refer to the specification for the
correct fuel level (wet) setting.
5. If any adjustment is required,
stop the engine to minimize the hazard of
the fire due to fuel spray when the float
setting is disturbed. To adjust the fuel
level, bend the float tab (contacting the
fuel inlet valve) upward in relation to the
original position to raise the fuel level, and
downward to lower it. Each time an
adjustment is made to the float tab to
alter the fuel level, the engine must be
started and permitted to idle for a few
minutes to stabilize the fuel level. Check
the fuel level after each adjustment until
the specified level is achieved.
6. Install a new air horn gasket, the
air horn assembly, carburettor identification tag and the retaining screws. Tighten
the retaining screws. Install the air cleaner
anchor screw and tighten to the specified
torque.
7. Check the idle fuel mixture, idle
speed adjustments and the carburettor
dashpot adjustment (if so equipped).
Adjust the carburettor as required.

A power valve must not be replaced


unless it is leaking sufficiently to cause an
unadjustable rough engine idle condition.
Fuel accumulation in the power valve
cover does not necessarily indicate a
damaged power valve. Fuel vapors will be
drawn into the vacuum side of the power
valve and condense during periods of
deceleration. Leakage in the power valve
area can be caused by an improperly
tightened cover or damaged gaskets. Any
gasket sealing deficiencies must be
corrected before the power valve is
replaced.
If power valve leakage is suspected,
carry out test procedure as detailed in
(Page 10-6)

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

CARBURETTOR REMOVAL
Flooding, stumble on acceleration and
other performance complaints are in many
instances, caused by the presence of dirt,
water or other foreign matter in the
carburettor. To aid in diagnosing the cause
of complaint, the carburettor should be
carefully removed from the engine
without removing the fuel from the bowls.
The contents of the bowls may then be
examined for contamination as the
carburettor is disassembled.
l. Remove the air cleaner as detailed
on page 10-67. Remove the heater hose

from the choke shield (if so equipped).


2. Remove the throttle cable or rod
from the throttle lever. Disconnect the
distributor vacuum line, in-line fuel filter
and the choke heat tube at the carburettor.
3. Disconnect the choke clean air
tube from the air horn.
4. Remove the carburettor retaining
nuts; then remove the carburettor. Remove the carburettor mounting gasket,
spacer (if equipped) and lower gasket,
from the intake manifold.

INSTALLATION
1. Clean the gasket mounting surfaces of the spacer and carburettor.
Place the spacer between two new gaskets
and position the spacer and gaskets on the
intake manifold. Position the carburettor
on the spacer and gasket and secure it with
the retaining lockwashers and nuts. To
prevent leakage, distortion or damage to
the carburettor body flange, snug the nuts;
then, alternately tighten each nut in a
criss-cross pattern to the specified torque.

DISASSEMBLY
To facilitate working on the carburettor and to prevent damage to the
throttle plates, install carburettor legs on
the base. If legs are unavailable, install 4
bolts (about 2 I /4 inches long of the
correct diameter) and 8 nuts on the
carburettor base.
Use a separate container for the
component parts of the various assemblies
to facilitate cleaning, inspection and
assembly.
The following is a step-by-step
sequence of operations for completely
overhauling the carburettor. However,
certain components of the carburettor may

OPERATION
The Model 4300 4-V Carburet tor is
designed to supply a calibrated fuelair mixture to a V -8 engine. In
normal operation, each of the primary venturis supplies all the fuel-air
mixture required by four cylinders.
The idle, main metering, power fuel
supply, accelerating pump and choke
systems go into operation automatically to provide the proper richness
or leanness of the mixture for the
operating condition.
Operation of the fuel metering systems is controlled by the accelerator
linkage, throttle position and engine
speed. The choke system is controlled
by the throttle position and the temperature of the engine exhaust manifold.

FUEL INLET SYSTEM


Correct calibration of the carburettor depends on fuel being available
at a specific level in the fuel bowl. If
the fuel level is low, the metering
systems deliver Jean mixtures; if the
level is high, mixtures are rich. The
function of the fuel inlet system is
to admit gasoline into the fuel bowl
and maintain the soecified level.
Fig. 4 shows the construction and
operation of the fuel inlet system.
The fuel inlet is constantly charged
with fuel under pressure from the
fuel pump. This fuel enters the bowl
through the fuel inlet valve, which is
permitted to open when the float
lowers.
The float moves up-and-down with
the fuel level. When enough fuel has
entered to fill the bowl to the correct
level, the float is high enough for the

AIR

FUEL

float lever to push the inlet valve
(needle) against its seat. Flow of the
fuel into the bowl then is blocked
until some fuel is used and the float
lowers again.
Auxiliary Fuel Inlet Valve
An auxiliary fuel inlet valve is built
into this system to supplement the
main or primary fuel inlet valve when
engine fuel requirements are high.
The main or primary fuel inlet
valve controls small fuel flows precisely because of its small area of
opening and relatively high valve-toseat sealing pressure. When large
fuel flows are required, as in high
engine speeds and heavy-load conditions, the fuel level and float height
drop, thereby opening the auxiliary
valve (Fig. 5) in addition to the main
or primary fuel inlet valve. The total
combined fuel valve opening is larger
than the previous single valve that
has been used in former Ford carburetors.
In addition to supplying fuel for
high engine load conditions, the large
combined valve opening also purges
the carburettor-to-fuel rump line,
after a hot restart, of fue vapor that
forms during a hot soak condition.
Venting the Bowl
Two stand pipes beside the air horn
(Fi~. 4) vent the bowl to the fresh air
inlet. The stand pipes are open to the
carburetor intake air after the air
passes through the air cleaner. Thus,
the howl pressure and air horn pressure are equal during main metering
system operation, and the calihration
o( the carhuretor isn't affected by the
air cleaner's condition.

IDLE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM


When the throttles are closed or
nearly closed, there is not enough air
flow through the venturis to create
the vacuum needed to operate the
primary main metering system.
Therefore, a separate fuel metering
system for idle operation is incorporated.
The primary idle fuel supply system (Fig. 6) uses the pressure difference between manifold vacuum
and atmospheric pl'essure in the
bowls to cause fuel flow. Idle system
fuel flow is from the bowl, through
the main metering jets and into the
main wells. From there, the fuel flows
up through calibrated restriction in
the idle tubes, then down the idle
channels to the idle cavities in .the
throttle body. It enters the venturis
below the throttle plates through the
idle discharge port and idle transfer
slot. The idle fuel adjustment screw
r,e gulates the amount of fuel that is
discharged through the port.
Air Bleeds
Filtered air is mixed with the fuel
through the idle air bleeds to help
the fuel atomize as it is discharged.
The bleed also prevents siphoning
through the idle system at very high
speeds, or when the engine is shut
down.
Idle Transfer Slot
The idle transfer slot in each venturi serves both as an air bleed and
as a secondary discharge port. At
closed throttle (Fig. 6), the top of
the slot admits air mto the idle
cavity, and the bottom of the slot
delivers fuel to the venturi. When the

PART 10-5 MOTORCRAFT MODEL 4300 CARBURETTOR


throttle opens slightly ahove an idle
<'ondition. the whole length of the slot
becomes a discharge port to richen
the mixture (Fig. 6). This secon'dary
discharge opening prevents the increase in air flow from making the
mixtUie too lean. There would be a
"flat spot" in the transition from the
idle to the main metering system
without the transfer slot.

PRIMARY MAIN FUEL


METERING SYSTEM
A primary main fuel metering system, divided into two parts _
one
for each primary barrel _ provides
the fuel required by the engine at
cruising speeds. Main metering systems are calibrated to deliver a lean
mixture _about 15 parts air to one
part gasoline _ when the engine is
cruising under light load. When more
power is required. the main metering
system continues to operate, and the
miture is made richer by other systems.
Parts of the Main Metering System
In the Model 4300 carburettor,the
primary main metering system (Fig.
7' has two main metering jets; main
wells. and main well tubes; calibrated
air bleeds; disC'harge nozzles; and
booster venturis. At rest, fuel flow!;
from the bowl, through the main jets,
and into the main wells and tubes. In
each well and tube, the fuel assumes
the same level as in the bowl until
the engine begins to operate.
Pressure Difference Causes Flow
With the engine operating, the
main metering system delivers fuel
in response to the throttle plate
opening. Opening the throttle causes
air flow through the main venturi
and booster venturi; the flow through

the booster venturi causes a pressure


drop or partial vacuum at the discharge nozzle. The fuel howl is at air
horn pressure, resulting in a preSSJ.Ire
difference that creates flow through
the system. Fuel is sprayed out the
discharge nozzle and mixes with the
airstream.
The size of the main jet determines
how much fuel is delivered for a given
volume of air flow. Increasing or decreasing throttle opening increases or
decreases the fuel delivery so that
the mixture proportion or ratio is
quite constant.
Bleed Assists Vaporization
The high-speed air bleeds (Fig. !!)
in the system permits some air to be
mixed with the fuel in the main well.
The air enters the main well tube
through two holes when fuel is flowing
in the system. Adding air at this
point assists vaporization, and com
pensates for the tendency of the air
to become less dense at high speeds.
The bleed also doubles as an antisiphoning vent at low speeds. And it
discourages percolation when a hot
engine is shut down by venting the
main well .

ACCELERATING PUMP SYSTEM


Air, being very light, responds
rapidly to changes in the throttle
opening. Gasoline is heavier, and
therefore not as responsive. When the
throttles are opened suddenly, air
flow increases rapidly, but fuel flow
lags. So that the engine will respond
instantly to opening the throttle, an
accelerating pump system. which
furnishes 1'1 . single spurt of fuel in
each primary venturi when the
throttles are opened, is incorporatC'd .

Piston-Type Pump
A piston-type pump (Fig. 9) is
actuated by a link from the accelerator linkage and by a spring to cause
the pumping action. The pumping
cham her is formed below a cup on the
pump piston. A hall-type intake
check valve and a needle-type discharge valve control the flow of fuel
into and out of the .pumping chamber
and channels. Discharge nozzles
open into both primary venturis.
Fuel Intake
Fuel intake occurs as the throttles
are closed (Fig. 9). The accelerating
pump link pulls the piston up, compressing the piston ring. A partial
vacuum is created helow the piston
cup in the pumping chamber.
Fuel in the bowl, at this time, is
exposed to full atmospheric pressure.
as the external vent valve lever also
is actuated by the accelerating pump
link to open the valve.
The pressure difference pushes the
intake check valve off its seat and
causes fuel to flow from the bowl into
the pumping chamber. The discha'rge
valve is seated. and prevents backflow
in the discharge passages.
J:'uel Discharge
When the throttles open (Fig. 10),
the end of the accelerating pump link
moves down in the piston arm slot,
and the spring pushes the piston into
the oumoine chamber. PressurP.
builds up ~n the chamber to force
the inlet valve closed on its seat.
Fuel is pumped through the discharge passages __ the discharge
valve is forced open hy the fuel pressure _ and fuel is spraY,ed out the
discharge nozzle. When the piston
has reached its limit of travel
(depending on how far the accelerator
is depressed), flow stops and the discharge valve seats. The discharge
passages remain primed, or full of
fuel, so that pumping action through
the nozzles is instantaneous on the
next cycle.

Air Bleed Check Valve
With the engine operating at high
speed, a vacuum exists at the accelerating pump discharge nozzles. An
air bleed check valve prevents this
vacuum from siphoning fuel through
the accelerating pump system when
fuel is not being discharged. The
valve is placed at the upper end of
the discharge nozzle passage.

CLOSED

POWER FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM


The main metering system provides
a lean mixture for cruising conditions, when power requirements are
not high. When more power is required for high speed operation or
for accelerating it is necessary to
burn more fuel. The small amount of
fuel in a lean mixture does not provide enough heat upon combustion
for full engine power. Therefore, a
way to "step up" or richen the mixture is provided .. . this "step up"
system is termed the power fuel
supply system (Fig. 11).
Vacuum Piston and Power Valve
The power fuel supply system uses
a vacuum-controlled piston in the air
horn body and a power valve to admit
more fuel when power is required.
The vacuum piston rod is spring-

Fig. 10- Accelerating Pump- Discharge


loaded, and tends to push the rod
down. The stem of the power valve is
also spring-loaded, tending to hold
the power valve up or closed.
Manifold vacuum is sensed on top
of the piston through passages in the
carburetor bodies. At idle or cruising
conditions, the vacuum is high enough
to overcome the p1ston rod sprmg
force. The piston and rod are held
up and away from the power valve
stem. The power valve spring then
holds the valve closed.
Another Passage to the Main Well
When the engine is under load. the
vacuum drops. The vacuum piston
rod is pushed down by its spring and
the rod pushes on the power valve
stem. The comparatively light power

valve spring is overcome and the


valve opens (Fig. 12). Opening the
valve gives another passage from the
bowl to the main wells .. . through
the valve and power jets. The effect
is the same as if a temporary increase
in the size of the main jets was made.
More fuel is discharged through the
main metering system to make the
mixture richer.
When the engine load decreases,
the process is reversed. The piston is
pulled up by higher manifold vacuum
and allows the power valve to close.

venturis. The following deals with
the "secondaries", the other two venturis that give an extra volume of
fuel-air mixture when maximum
power is applied.
The secondary throttles are linked
mechanically to the primaries, and
begin to open when the primariPs are
three-q uarters open.
Air Valve Plates
Each secondary venturi (barrel)
(Fig. 13) has an offset air valve plate
located below its booster venturi .
These plates are preloaded by a
spiral torsion spring, which holds
them closed when the secondary
throttles are closed .
The air valve plates being closed,
cause a vacuum as soon as the
throttles begin to open. The fuel bowl
is at air horn pressure. The pressure
difference starts fuel flowing from
the bowl; through the seconda:y
main jet tube to the secondary roam
wells; then through the main well

tubes and out the enrichment discharge tubes.
Secondary Main Discharge Tubes
A second stage of fuel supply
occurs when the air valve plates are
pulled open by manifold vacuum
below them. Increased air flow then
causes fuel to be discharged into the
booster venturis from the secondary
main discharge tubes.
The amount that the air valves
open, and therefore the amount of
mixture delivered, is controlled by
the difference in air pressure acting
on the plates balanced against the
spiral torsion spring. An integral
hydraulic dashpot dampens sudden
movemPnts of the plates to prevent
flutter and erratic e ngine operation.
Air Bleeds
Air is introduced into the fuel at
the secondary channel anti-siphon
hleed and at th e high -speed bleeds to
help vaporization. The bleeds also

act as anti-percolation vents at idle


or when a hot engine is shut down,
by relievi-ng pressure in the main
well tubes.

AUTOMATIC CHOKE SYSTEM


To start and operate a cold engine,
it is necessary to supply a richer mixture, because the fuel doPsn't vaporize as readily and because part of the
vaporized fuel condenses inside the
cold intake manifold. The choke system, by regulating the position of the
choke above the primary venturis,
provides the means of making the
cold mixture rich. and gradually letting it become leaner as the engine
warms up.
Thermostatic Spring Controls
Choke Plate
The thermostatic spring in the
choke housing (Fig. 14) exerts a
torque that forces the linkage to close
the choke plate when the engine is
cold. The choke plate is closed fully

before the engine starts so as to block
air flow into the venturis. When the
engine is cranked, engine vacuum
then causes fuel to flow from the
main metering and idle systems to
start the engine.
Choke Plate Pulldown
When the engine starts, some air is
needed to prevent flooding. The
choke plate is pulled open slightly by
the effect of engine vacuum and by
the operation of tht choke piston.
The piston, also located in the choke
housing, is actuated by vacuum as
soon as the engine starts. Piston
travel is limited by vacuum bypass
slots in the choke piston cylinder wall
and a slot in the piston. When the
slots meet, vacuum starts to bleed off,
preventing further piston travel.
Thus, the choke plate is opened just
enough to prevent flooding, but not
enough to lean out the cold mixture.
If the engine is accelerated during
warmup, vacuum drops and the choke
closes for an instant ... the mixture

EJ

Fig. 17- Secondary Throttle Lockout

is thus made richer to prevent a


"stumble" or stalling.
Exhaust-Heated Air Control
As the engine warms up, inlet manifold
supplied heat warms the thermostatic
choke spring. The choke closing force is
gradually relaxed and the choke plate
opens as the engine becomes warm.
Fast Idle Cam
During the engine warm-up period,
it is necessary to have a faster idle
speed to prevent stalling. The fast
idle cam (Fig. 15) increases the idle
speed by cracking the throttles to
admit more air.
The cam is rotated into position
under the fast idle adjustment screw
bv the automatic choke lever. The
adjustment screw is mounted on the
throttle lever and actuates the
throttles when the cam contacts it.
The cam has several steps, and moves
to succeedingly lower steps under the
fast idle adjustment screw as the en-

gine warms up. Thus, there are progressively !ewer fast-idle speeds.
Choke Unloader (Dechoker)
If the engine becomes flooded while
the driver is trying to start it, the
choke unloader (Fig. 16) permits the
choke, by using the throttle lever, to
be opened. Pushing the accelerator
pedal to the floor mechanically moves
a projection on the throttle lever
against the unloader face on the fast
idle cam. The cam partially opens
the choke plate.
Secondary Throttle Lockout
The secondary throttle lockout
(Fig. 17) also is actuated by the choke
system to prevent the secondary venturis from delivering fuel when the
engine is cold. The throttle lockout
lever engages with a lever on the
secondary throttle shaft, and holds
the throttle plates tightly closed during choking. When the choke opens,
the lockout lever is disengaged so that
the secondaries can operatE>.

IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

CARBURETTOR ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustments described and
illustrated in this part should be
performed as required to retain the desired
engine performance characteristics. Refer
to the Specifications when evercarburettor
adjustments are made.
IDLE SPEED AND FUEL
MIXTURE

All carburettors are equipped with idle


fuel mixture adjusting limiters. The
limiters control the maximum idle richness

and help prevent unauthorized persons


from making overly rich idle adjustment.
The plastic idle limiter cap is installed
on the head of the idle fuel mixture
adjusting screw(s). (Fig. 18). Any adjustment made on carburettors having this
type of limiter must be within the range
of the idle adjusting limiter. Under no
circumstances are the idle adjusting limiters
or the limiter stops on the carburettor to be
mutilated or deformed to render the limiters
inoperative.
A satisfactory idle should be
obtainable within the range of the idle

adjusting limiters, if all other engine


systems
are
operating
within
specifications.
At pre-delivery, follow the Normal
Idle Fuel Settings for both Engine Off and
Engine On and in Step 1 of Additional
Idle Speed and Fuel Mixture Procedures.
Other fuel system adjustments should not
be required at pre-delivery service.
Followins are the normal procedures
necessary to properly adj\lSt the engine
idle speed and fuel mixture. The specific
operations should be followed in the
sequence given whenever the idle speed Qr

10-55

PART 10-5 MOTORCRAFT MODEL 4300 CARBURETTOR


idle full adjustments are made.
In isolated cases, a satisfactory idle
condition may not be achieved by
performing the normal procedures. If this
occurs, refer to Additional Idle Speed and
Fuel Mixture Procedures.
NORMAL IDLE FUEL
SETTINGS - ENGINE OFF
1. Set the idle fuel mixture screw(s)
and
limiter
cap(s)
to
the
full-counterclockwise position of the
limiter cap(s).
2. Back off the curb idle speed
adjusting screw (Fig. 19) until the throttle
plate(s) seat in the throttle bore(s).
3. Be sure the dashpot or solenoid
throttle positioner (if so equipped) is not
interfering with the throttle lever (Fig. 20) .
It may , be necessary to loosen the
dashpot or solenoid to allow the throttle
plate(s) to seat in the throttle bore(s) .
4. Turn the idle speed adjusting
screw inward until it just makes contact
with the screw stop on the thottle shaft
and lever assembly. Then, turn the screw
inward I 1/2 turns to establish a
preliminary idle speed adjustment (Fig. 19).
5. Set the parking brake while
making
idle
mixture
and
speed
adjustments.
NORMAL IDLE FUEL
SETTINGS - ENGINE ON
1. The engine and underhood
temperatures must be stabilized before
idle adjustments are made. Run the engine
a minimum of 20 minutes at 1500rpm.
This can be done by positioning the fast
idle screw or cam follower on the kickdown step of the fast idle cam (Fig. 21).
2. Check the initial ignition timing
and the distributor advance. Use an
accurate-reading tachometer and timing
light when checking the initial ignition
timing and idle fuel mixture and speed.
3. On vehicles with a manual-shift
transmission, the idle setting must be
made only when the transmission is in
Neutral.
On vehicles with an automatic
transmisSion, the idle setting is made with
the transmission selector lever in the Drive
range.
4. Be sure the choke plate is in the
full-open position.
5. Turn the headlights on high beam
to place the alternator under a load
condition in order to properly adjust to
the specified engine idle speed.
6. The final idle speed adjustment is
made with the air C()nditioner (if
equipped) turned ON.
7. Adjust the engine curb idle rpm
to specifications. The tachometer reading
(rpm) must be taken with the air cleaner

installed. On vehicles with less than 50


miles, set the idle speed approximately 25
rpm below specifications to allow for an
rpm increase as the engine loosens up in
the first 100 miles of driving.
If it is not possible to adjust the idle
speed with the air cleaner installed;
remove it, make the adjustment, then
replace the air cleaner and check again for
the specified rpm.
Manual transmission vehicles may be
fitted with a solenoid throttle positioner.
However this is not connected on these
engines and must be adjusted so as not to
affect the engine idle speed. Idle speed
adjustment is to be made on the normal
throttle stop screw.
8. Turn the idle mixture adjusting
screw(s) inward an equal amount to obtain
the smoothest idle possible within the
range of the idle limiter(s).
Check for idle smoothness only with
the air cleaner installed.
ADDITIONAL IDLE SPEED
AND FUEL MIXTURE
PROCEDURES
If satisfactory idle condition is not
obtained after performing the preceding
normal idle fuel settings, additional checks
of engine systems must be performed.
1. The following items should be
checked and, if required, corrected.
a. Vacuum leaks
b. Ignition system wiring contmuity
c. Spark plugs
d. Distributor breaker point ."well
angle
e. Distributor point condition
f. Initial ignition timing
In certain instances, it may be possible
that the idle condition is not as good as
... "'ltally expected. It is suggested that the
customer with a new vehicle be advised
that the vehicle be driven 50 to 100 miles.

Then, when the engine friction has been


reduced, the idle condition should be
improved. If, after the break-in period, the
idle condition is believed to be
unsatisfactory, re-adjust the engine idle
speed to specification and observe for a
satisfactory idle.
2. If the idle condition is not
improved after the items in Step I have
been checked, perform the following
engine mechanical checks:

screws an equal amount on each screw by
turning in a clockwise direction until the
engine R.P.M. drops to the specified idle
speed .
9. Remove the air cleaner.
10. Install the blue plastic service limiter
cap.
Use care not to turn the idle mixture
when installing the cap. Position . the cap
so that it is in the maximum counterclockwise position with the tab of the
limiter against the stop on the carburetor.
The idle mixture screw will then be
at the maximum allowable outward or
rich setting.
To install the service limiter cap, use a
straight forward push with thumb pressure
or a 3/ 8" rod.
11. Replace the air cleaner and recheck
the idle speed to ensure that the mixture
screws were not accidently rotated while
fitting the limiter caps.
12. Remove the tachometer from the
engine.

ACCELERA TlNG PUMP


STROKE ADJUSTMENT
The accelerating pump stroke has
been set to help keep the exhaust emission
level of the engine within the specified
limits. The additional holes provided for
pump stroke adjustment are for adjusting
the stroke for specific engine applications.
The stroke should not be changed from
the specified setting.
If the pump stroke has been changed
from the specified setting refer to the
following instructions to correct the
stroke to specification. ~efore adjusting
the accelerating pump stroke, measure the
height of the pump piston stem as shown

CHOKEPLATEPULLDOWN
1. Remove the air cleaner, then
remove the choke thermostatic spring
housing from the carburettor. To remove
the thermostatic spring housing from the
carburettor installed on the engine, refer to
Thermostatic Spring Housing and Gasket
Replacement.
2. Bend a wire gauge of 0.036-inch
diameter
at
a
90
degree angle
approximately 1/8-inch from one end.
3. Block
the
throttle
about
half-open so the fast idle cam does not
contact the fast idle adjustment screw,
then insert the bent end of the wire gauge
between the lower edge of the piston slot
and the upper edge of the right-hand slot
in the choke housing (Fig. 23).
4. Pull the choke piston lever
counterclockwise until the gauge is snug in
the piston slot. Hold the wire gauge in
place by exerting light pressure in a
rearward direction on the choke piston
lever. Check the choke plate clearance
(Pull down) between the lower edge of the
choke pia te and the wall of the air horn.
5. To adjust the choke plate
clearance, loosen the hex head screw (left
hand thread) on the choke plate shaft
(Fig. 23) and pry the link away from the
tapered shaft.
Use a drill gauge 0.010-inch under the
specified clearance between the lower edge
of the choke pia te and the wall of the air
horn. Hold the choke plate against the
gauge and maintain a light pressure in a
rearward direction on the choke lever.
With the choke piston snug against the
0.036-inch wire gauge and the choke plate
against the drill gauge, tighten the hex
head screw (left hand thread) on the
choke plate shaft.
The use of a 0.010-inch undersize drill
gauge is to allow for tolerances in the
linkage. Use a drill gauge equal to the size
of the specified clearance to make a final
check.
6. Install
the
gasket
and
thermostatic spring housing on the choke
housing. Install the spring housing retainer
and screws.

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

CARBURmOR REMOVAL
Flooding, stumble on acceleration and
other performance complaints are in many
instances, caused by the presence of dirt,
water or other foreign matter in the
carburetor. To aid in diagnosing the cause
of complaint, the carburetor should be
carefully removed from the engine
without removing the fuel from the bowls.
The contents of the bowls may then be
examined for contamination as the
carburetor is disassembled.
1. Remove the air cleaner (Page 10-67)
Remove the heater hose from the choke
shield (if so equipped).
2. Remove the throttle cable or rod
from the throttle lever. Disconnect the
distributor vacuum line, in-line fuel filter
and the choke heat tube at the carburetor.
3. Disconnect the choke clean air
tube from the air horn.
4. Remove the carburettor retaining
nuts; then remove the carburettor. Remove the carburettor mounting gasket,
spacer (if equipped) and lower gasket,
from the intake manifold.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the gasket mounting
surfaces of the spacer and carburettor.
Place the spacer between two new gaskets
and position the spacer and gaskets on the
intake manifold. Position the carburettor
on the spacer and gasket and secure it with
the retaining lockwashers and nuts. To
prevent leakage, distortion or damage to
the carburettor body flange, snug the nuts;
then, alternately tighten each nut in a
criss-cross pattern to the specified torque.

2. Connect the in-line fuel fllter


throttle cable, choke heat tube, and
distributor vacuum line. Position the
heater hose behind the choke shield.
3. Connect the choke clear air tube
to the air horn.
4. Adjust the engine idle speed, the
idle fuel mixture, anti-stall dashpot (if so
equipped) and the accelerating pump
stroke (if required). Install the air cleaner
(Page 10-67)
DISASSEMBLY

To facilitate working on the carburettor, and to prevent damage to the


throttle plates, install carburettor legs on
the base. If legs are unavailable, install
four 5/16 x 2 1/2 inch bolts and 8 nuts;
install nuts on the bolts, above and below
the carburetor base.
Use a separate container for the
component parts of the various assemblies
to facilitate cleaning, inspection, and
assembly.
The following is a step-by-step
sequence of operations for completely
overhauling the carburetor. However,
certain components of the carburetot may
be
serviced
without
a complete
disassembly of the entire unit.

10. If it is necessary to remove the
secondary air valve plate(s) attaching
screws. Remove the plates, then slide the
shaft out of the air horn.
11. If it is necessary to remove the
choke plate or choke shaft, remove the
staking marks on the choke plate retaining
screws. If the tips of the screws are flared
excessively, file the flared portion to
prevent damage to the threads in the shaft.
Remove the choke plate, then slide the
choke shaft and lever out of the air horn.
The choke lever is attached to the shaft
with a left hand thread screw.
12. Do not remove the power valve

AND OPERATION

Single action fuel pumps are stand


ard equipment for all car models.
The fuel pumps on the 6-cylinder
engines are mounted on the lower,
left-centre of the engine cylinder -block.
On V -8 engines, the fuel pumps

are mounted on the left-side of the


cylinder front cover.
An AC type fuel pump (Fig. 1)
is used on the 200 and 250 Six engines. (A Carter Permanently Sealed
Fuel pump is used on the 250 C.I.D.
engine fitted with air-conditioning

and on the 250-2V engine.


A Carter permanently-sealed fuel
pump ia used on the V -8 engines
(Fig. 2).
The fuel pumps are mechanically
actuated by means of the fuel pump
rocker arm and an eccentric on the
camshaft.

GROUP 10- FUEL SYSTEM

A flexible fuel pump diaphragm is
operated by a combination of rocker
arm.action and calibrated spring tension.
On the fuel intake stroke, the camshaft eccentric causes the rocker arm
to lift the fuel pump diaphragm
against the diaphragm spring pressure. This action draws fuel through
the intake valve into the pump inlet
chamber and closes the outlet valve.
At the same time, fuel is drawn from
the fuel tank through the fuel intake
line to replace the fuel drawn into
the chamber.
As the camshaft eccentric continues to rotate, the rocker arm relieves the pressure on the diaphragm
spring and allows the spring to move
the diaphragm toward the inlet and
outlet valves, exerting pressure on
the fuel inlet chamber. This pressure

EJ

causes the pump inlet valve to close


and the ensuing pressr.re build-up
opens the outlet valve. The fuel is
then forced through the pump outlet
to -.r:.: fuel filter where it is cleansed
before entering the carburettor. Fuel
is delivered to the carburettor
only when the fuel inlet valve in
the carburettor is open. The carburettor inlet valve is closed by
fuel pressure on. the float when
the specified fuel level in the
carburettor float chamber is
reached.
When there is no demand for fuel
from the carburettor, the diaphragm
spring tension is not strong enough
to force the diaphragm against the
fuel pressure built up in the inlet
chamber of the pump. Thus, the up
and down rocker arm action continues, but the diaphragm remains

stationary until pressure against the


carburettor float is relieved by a demand for fuel at the carburettor.
The A.C. type and the 8 cylinder
Carter fuel pumps contain pressure
relief orifices in the inlet and outlet
valve cages to prevent pressure build
up in the line to the carburettor
during hot soak periods.
The Carter sealed fuel pump fitted
to 250-2V and 250 N (with air
conditioning) 6 cylinder engines have
an external by-pass pressure relief.
An air vent is located in the fuel
pump bodies to relieve air pressure
build-up on the spring side of the
diaphragm.
The fuel pumps contain a diaphragm rod seal to prevent the en
trance of engine oil into the fuel
pump.

GENERAL

All engines are equipped with


conventional dry-type air cleaners
that have a replaceable filtering
element. The air cleaner body is

EJ AIR CLEANER -

mounted on a sealing gasket located


on the carburetor air horn. The air
cleaner assembly is retained on the
engine 'by a stud on the carburetor
body and a wing nut above the filter
cover.

Note: A heavy duty air cleaner


package which fits over the existing
filtering element is available for the
6-cylinder engine.

6 CYLINDER AND 302 VS

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


DESCRIPTION
The air cleaners, as fitted to the
6-cylinder 200 and 250 IV engines
and the 302-V8 engine, are basically
of the same design. The air cleaner
tops and filter assemblies are interchangeable between engines; however,

the air cleaner base for the 302 CID


engine, whilst being similar to the
air cleaner as fitted to the 6-cylinder
engines, is not interchangeable.
The 250-2V engine has a unique
air cleaner with a peripheral air
intake.

OPERATION
Air from the engine compartment
enters the air cleaner assembly
through the opening into a silencing
chamber and passes through the filter
element. Dust particles are trapped
in the filter element as the air
passes through it. After leaving the
filter element, the air is deflected
down into the carburettor.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION


AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
Refer to Group 19 for the air
cleaner assembly recommended
maintenance mileage interval.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the wing nut retaining
the air cleaner assembly to the carburettor.
2. Remove the air cleaner ass.!mbly
from the carburettor. To prevent
dirt from entering the carburettor, the filter element must never

be removed when the air cleaner


body is mounted on the carburettor.
3. Remove the air cleaner cover
and filter element. Discard the air
cleaner mounting gasket if it is
excessively worn or damaged.
4. Inspect the air cleaner filter as
:lescribed on page 10-13.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new air cleaner mounting gasket on the carburettor if
req\lired.

2. Position the air cleaner body


on the carburettor, ensuring that the
body is properly seated on the gasket
and located correctly on the carburettor.
3. Place the filter element on the
air cleaner body. Make sure the
filter is properly seated. The word
TOP is indicated on the filter element,
make sure the word TOP faces up.
Install the cover and tighten the
retaining wing nut.

HOT AND COLD TYPE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM -

VACUUM OPERATED

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


DESCRIPTION
The air cleaners as fitted to the
351C-2V and 351C-4V engines are
basically the same design, with the
filter elements being interchangeable.
The air cleaners feature inlet manifold vacuum operated, bi-metallic
switch controlled (Fig. 1), hot and
cold type duct and valve assembly.
The duct and valve assembly incorporates an access to the underhood area (cold), similar to the conventional type air filter, and has in
addition an access connected by
means of a flexible pipe to the front
of the exhaust manifold housing
(hot).
OPERATION
From initial cold engine start, high
inlet manifold vacuum/air pressure
difference overcomes the duct butterfly spring tension and closes the duct
cold access opening and opens the
hot access (from exhaust manifold)
opening, as shown in Fig. 2 (A). As
the engine warms, the resi.Iltani hot
air flowing through the air cleaner
causes the thermal-operated bi-metal
switch (Fig. 1) to unseat the bleed
valve which 'bleeds' vacuum from
the duct valve. The reduced vacuum/
air pressure difference is overcome
by the spring in the duct valve which
pens the cold access (under hood)
and closes the hot access (Fig. 2 (B)).
Incoming air is filtered through
the filtering element as with the
conventional dry type air cleaner.

DUCT AND VALVE


ASSEMBLY TEST
The vacuum-operated duct valve
is used on all 351 C engines.

3. Raise the air cleaner and duct


assembly and disconnect the vacuum
source hose at the bi-metal control
valve (inlet manifold side only).

1. The duct valve should be open


when the engine is off.
2. Start the engine. The valve
should close during engine idle unless
the engine has reached normal operating temperature. If the engine is cold
and the valve does not close during
idle, check for disconnected vacuum
lines to the vacuum motor and bimetal switch. Check the bi-metal
switch to see that the bleed valve is
seated.
3. Open and close the throttle
rapidly. The valve should open during throttle opening. If the valve does
not function properly, check for a
binding condition at the valve.
Correct as required.
4. The bi-metal switch can be
functionally checked by subjecting
the switch to heated air or removing
and immersing the switch in water
heated to 105-110 degrees F. Only
slight movement of the bi-metal is
necessary to unseat the bleed valve.

4. Remove the air cleaner and


duct assembly from the carburettor:
To prevent dirt from entering the
carburettor, the filter element must
never be removed when the air
cleaner body is mounted on the
carburettor.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DIAGNOSIS

Engine overheating and slow engine warm-up are the two engine
troubles most commonly attributed
to the cooling system.
Loss of coolant, thermostat stuck
in the closed position, restricted air
flow through the radiator, or accumulation of rust and scale in the
system are the main causes of overheating. Coolant Joss may, be due to
external leakage at the radiator,
radiator pressure cap, water pump,
hose connections, heater, or core

plugs. Coolant loss may also be


caused by internal leakage due to a
defective cylinder head gasket, improper tightening of the cylinder
head bolts, or warped cylinder head
or block gasket surfaces.
Internal leakage can be detected
by operating the engine at fast idle
and looking for the formation of
bubbles in the radiator. Oil in the
radiator may indicate leakage in the
engine block or a leak in the automatic transmission oil cooler. Water
formation on the oil level dipstick

could also be an indication of internal leakage.


Rust and scale that form in the
engine water passages are carried
into the radiator passages by the
circulation of the coolant. This clogs
the radiator passages and causes
overheating. Rust can be detected by
the appearance of the coolant. If
the coolant has a rusty or muddy
appearance, rust is present.
A defective thermostat that remains open will cause slow engine
warm-up.

COOLING SYSTEM
PRESSURE TEST
It is recommended that a cooling
system pressure test gauge be used
to properly test the system for:
1.. Blown or leaking cooling system sealing gaskets.
2. Internal or external coolant
leakage.
3. Pressure cap malfunction.
Many types of pressure gauges are
available for use. Therefore, it is
recommended that the gauge manu-

Improper tightening of cylinder
facturer's instructions be followed
when performing the test. Never exceed the rated pressure indicated on
the pressure cap when performing
the pressure test.
THERMOSTAT TESTTHERMOSTAT REMOVED
It is good practice to test new
thermostats before installing them in
the engine.
Remove the thermostat and immerse it in boiling water. Replace

head bolts.
Cylinder block core plugs leaking.
Cracked cylinder head or block,
or warped cylinder head C?r block
gasket surface.
Radiator pressure cap defective
or wrong type.
If the problem being investigated
is insufficient heat, the thermostat
should be checked for leakage. This
may be done by holding the thermostat up to a lighted background.
Light leakage around the thermostat
valve (thermostat at room temperature) is unacceptable and the thermostat should be replaced. It is possible, on some thermostats, that a
slight leakage of light at one or two
locations on the perimeter of the

valve may be detected. This should


be considered normal.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

COOLANT

Correct coolant level is essential


for maximum circulation and adequate cooling. In addition, for the
cooling system to perform its function, it must receive proper care. This
includes periodic flushing of the entire system, keeping radiator fins
clean, and periodic inspection of the
cooling system for leakage.
Use care when removing the radiator cap, to avoid injury from escaping steam or hot water.
Radiator caps incorporate a red
pressure relief button.
Press this button to relieve internal
pressure before removing the cap.
To prevent the build up of rust,
sludge and other foreign material in
the cooling system, Ford radiator
inhibitor should be added to the
coolant. If it is found necessary to
remove build up of foreign material
from the cylinder block or radiator
owing to neglect of adding an
inhibitor, use Ford radiator cleaner
Rl-64. Removal of such material
restores cooling efficiency and avoids
over-heatmg.
In severe cases where cleaning
solvents will not properly clean the
cooling system for efficient operation,
it will be necessary to use the
pressure flushing method.
Various types of flushing equipment are available. If pressure flushing is used, make sure the cylinder

head bolts are properly tightened to


prevent possible water leakage into
the cylinders. Always remove the
thermostat prior to pressure flushing.
A pulsating or reversed direction
of flushing water flow will loosen
sediment more quickly than a steady
flow in the normal direction of coolant flow.
DRAINING AND FILLING
THE COOLING SYSTEM
To prevent loss of anti-freeze when
draining the radiator, attach a hose
on the radiator drain cock and drain
the anti-freeze from the radiator into
a clean container.
To drain the radiator, open the
drain cock located at the bottom of
the radiator. The 6-cylinder engine
block has one drain plug located at
the right rear of the cylinder block,
ahead of the starter (Fig. 1). The
V -8 engines have a drain plug on
each side of the cylinder block.
To fill the cooling system, close
the drain cock. Install the block
drain plug(s). Disconnect the heater
outlet hose at the water pump to
bleed or release trapped air in the
system. When the coolant begins to
escape, connect the heater outlet
hose.
Operate the engine until normal
operating temperature is reached,
and add more coolant, if necessary,
to fill the radiator to the proper

DRAIN PLUG

Block Drain Plug
level, one inch below bottom of
filler neck.
After the initial fill the coolant
level may drop approximately one
quart after the engine has been
operated about 20 minutes at 2000
rpm. This is due to the displacement of entrapped air. Refill to the
proper level.
FAN DRIVE BELTS
If the fan drive belt(s) are noisy,
check the tension of the belts to
make certain they are within specifications. Also, check for misaligned
pulleys. If the drive belts are worn
or frayed, replace them following
the procedures in Page 11-4.

GROUP 11- COOLING SYSTEM


COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

ADJUSTMENTS
DRIVE BELTS
The fan drive belt(s) should be
properly adjusted at all times. A
loose drive belt(s) causes improper
alternator, fan and water pump
operation. A belt(s) that is too tight
places a severe strain on the water
pump and the alternator bearings.
Properly tensioned drive belts
minimize noise and also prolong
service life of the belt. Therefore, it
is recommended that a belt tension
gauge be used to check and adjust
the belt tension. Any belt that has
operated for a minimum of 10 minutes is considered a used belt, and
when adjusted, it must be adjusted to
the reset tension shown in the spedcations.
Belt Tension
1. Install the belt tension tool on

the drive belt (Fig. 2) and check


the tension following the instructions
of the tool manufacturer.

on the connections. Make sure the
clam?S are beyond bead and
placed in the centre of clamping
surface of connections. Tighten
clamps. Fill radiator with coolant.
Operate engine for several minutes;
then check the hoses and connections
for leaks. Check for proper coolant
level after the engine has reached
normal operating temperature.

THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT
A poppet-type thermostat is
mounted in a recess in the coolant
outlet passage at the front of the intake manifold on the V-8 engines.
On 6-cylinder engines, the thermostat is located in the coolant outlet
passage at the front of the cylinder
head. When the thermostat is closed,
coolant flows to the water pump
through a bypass passage at the
front of the engine. When the thermostat is open, coolant flows through
the coolant outlet elbow (thermostat housing) to the radiator.
The thermostat used in production
is for use with water or permanenttype anti-freeze. For operating temperatures, refer to specifications.
Check the thermostat before inslalling it following the procedure
under "Thermostat Test", Page 11-3.
Do not attempt to repair the
thermostat. It should be replaced if
it is not operating properly.
Removal
1. Drain cooling system below level
of the coolant outlet housing.
2. Remove coolant outlet housing
retaining bolts and slide housing
(with hose attached) to one side.
3. Remove thermostat and gasket.
Installation

1. Clean coolant outlet housing and


cylinder head surface. Coat a new
coolant outlet housing gasket with
sealer. Position gasket on cylinder
head or intake manifold (V -8).
The gasket must be positioned on
cylinder head or intake manifold
before thermostat is installed.
2. Coat edge of thermostat with
grease for thermostat adhesion. Position thermostat in recess of coolant
outlet housing so that copper pellet
or heat element will be in the cylinder
head or intake manifold (V-8).
Install thermostat with the word
TOP toward the top of the engine
and valve end of thermostat facing
outward. If thermostat is improperly positioned, it will cause the
engine to overheat.
3. Fill radiator. Operate engine and
check for coolant leaks and proper
coolant level after engine reaches
normal operating temperature.

engine when the thermostat is closed,


bypassing the radiator. On the 6cylinder engines, the water pump
bypass passage is aligned with the
bypass passage in the cylinder block
for coolant circulation in the engine
when the thermostat is dosed.
A vane-type, impeller supplies
coolant through centrifugal action
to the water pump outlet port on
6-cylinder engines. On the V-8 engines, the water pump has two out-

let ports, one for each cylinder bank,


to provide uniform coolant circulation in both banks of the engine.
The water pumps have a sealed
bearing integral with the water
pump shaft. The bearing requires no
lubrication. A bleed hole in the water
pump housing allows water that may
leak past the seal to be thrown out
by the slinger. This is not a lubrication hole.
The cooling fan hub is pressed a
specified distance onto the water
pump shaft.

The fan clutch (Figs. 12, 13 and 14)


permits use of a powerful fan without
paying the penalty of power loss or
noise. The fan clutch is a mechanical
device which provides maximum air
flow through the radiator when required, and a minimum air flow when
less than maximum cooling is necessary . It can modulate between the

maximum and the minimum air flows


according to conditions, and it limits
fan speed to a maximum rpm, beyond
a given engine input speed .
The viscous fluid shear principle in
general is applied to fan clutch design
in the following manner :
A drive plate totally enclosed within the clutch housing is attached directly to the clutch input shaft (assembled to the water pump shaft and
pulley). A predetermined clearance
between the drive plate and the inner
surfaces of the clutch housing is established -at assembly .
The clutch housing and the fan
blade assembly are mounted to the
input shaft by a sealed bearing and
are free to rotate independently of the
drive plate and input shaft.
The interior chamber of the clutch
housing is filled with a given amount
of silicon base oil. Centrifugal force
resulting from the rotation of the
clutch. coupled with the constant
pumping action designed into the unit
forces the silicon base oil evenly
about the inner surfaces of the clutch
in the close clearance or drive area .
The drag between the driving and the
driven members is thus increased by
the presence of the oil, causing the
clutch action.
A control valve (operated by a tern perature-sensitive bi-metal coi I or
strip in the air stream on the front of
the clutch) regulates the amount of oil
pumped in or out of the close clear-

ance (drive) area. This action determines the fan speed in relation to the
drive pulley and the radiator core air
flow temperature.

OPERATION
START-UP
At start-up, or after a prolonged
engine shut-down period, near maximum fan noise can be heard as the
fan clutch fluid is forced into the
close clearance area by centrifugal
force, resulting in maximum application of the clutch . As the normal operating temperature is reached, the
amount of fluid allowed to remain in
the close clearance area is regulated
by the temperature-sensitive control
valve. This determines fan speed in
relation to the fan drive pulley and
the radiator core air flow temperature.
RUNNING-LOW AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE
After the initial start-up cycle has
been completed, and as long as the
air flowing through the radiator core
does not exceed 150- 180 degrees F
temperature, the fan clutch will remain in or near the maximum slip
position. During this cycle, the control valve allows a minimum amount
of fluid to remain in the close clearance (drive) area.
RUNNING-HIGH AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE
As ambient temperatures increase,
or air flow temperatures through the
core become increasingly higher, additional cooling is required. The bimetal coil or strip senses this change

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

ADJUSTMENTS
The exhaust system must be free
of leaks, binds, grounding and excessive vibration.
Exhaust system vibration, grounding or binds are usually caused by:
loose, broken or improperly aligned
clamps, or brackets, or improperly
connected pipes. Any of the aforementioned conditions may cause
changes to clearances of the exhaust
system components. If any of these
conditions exist, the exhaust system
components must be checked, adjusted or replaced to make certain
the specified clearances (refer to the
illustrations in Part ll-2) are maintained.

noise is hard to distinguish from other
chassis noises. Look for broken or
loose clamps and brackets and replace or tighten as necessary. It is
important from a noise, vibration or
harshness point of view, that exhaust
clearances and setting procedures as
shown in Figures 1 through 14 be adhered to when ever repairs involving
the exhaust system are carried out.
As some of the exhaust system to
body clearances are relatively small,
ensure they are set to specification
before replacing components in an
endeavour to correct a noise,
vibration or harshness problem.
3. Work from the front of the car
toward the rear and progressively adjust the exhaust system components
and clamps at the various pipe connections to relieve binds and improper pipe connections. Be sure the
Inlet and outlet pipa and muftlen
are aligned so that all clearances are
within the limits shown on the Illustrations In Part 12-l. Then torque
the clamps to specification.
4. Check the exhaust system for
leaks.

CHARGING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

The charging system consists of


an alternator, alternator regulator,
battery, charge indicator light
and the necessary wiring to connect the
components (Figs. 2 & 3).
Four different alternators are used
in the XA/ZF model range.
1. Bosch - 40 amp with remote
regulator.
2. Lucas
40 amp with integral
regulator.
3. Lucas - 55 amp with integral
regulator.
4. Lucas - 55 amp with remote
regulator.
For model application refer to
Specifications.

Battery discharge is not always


due to charging system defects.
Excessive use of lights and accessories while the engine is either oft'
or running at low idle; corroded
battery cables and connectors; low
water level in the battery; or prolonged disuse of the battery, which
would permit self-discharge; are all
possible reasons which should be
considered when a battery is run
down or low in charge.
Charging system troubles such as
low alternator output, no alternator
output (indicated by the indicator
light being on while the engine is
running), or alternator output voltage too high, require testing of
both the alternator and the alternator regulator.

FIG. 1-Aiternator Unit -Assembled


Alternator regulator failures are
usually not recognised except by the
direct effect on the alternator output, and, of course, eventual battery
discharge. As the regulator is the
control valve for the alternator, it
acts to protect the battery by pre
venting excessive voltage output.
Discharge of the battery to ground
through the alternator is prevented

by the diodes of the alternator


which permit current flow in one
direction (to the battery) only.
Proper adjustment of the alternator regulator is very important.

The wad map t~ pe of procedures


which follow will assist in a logical
sequence of pinpointing specific
troubles. ALWAYS DETERMINE
THE CAUSE OF FAILURE AS
WELL AS MAKING THE REPAIR.

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE ON
ALTERNATOR EQUIPPED
VEHICLES

1. Polarity and Connections. The


alternator is for use on negative
earth electrical systems only. Polarity
cannot be reversed by 'Flashing' the
field terminals as with the dynamo
and any attempt to do so will damage
the alternator.
2. Refitting Vehicle Battery. Reversed battery connections will damage the alternator rectifiers. When
refitting, first fit the positive +
connector to the battery positive +
terminal and then fit the negative connector to the negative - battery
terminal.
3. High Rate Battery Charging.
Advisable to first disconnect the
battery negative cable thus isolating
the alternator from the battery and
external charging equipment.
4. Battery Connections. The
battery must never be disco!}nected
while the engine is running or damage
may occur to the rectifier and/or
control box semi-conductor devices.
For this reason the practice of using
a slave battery to start the engine
and subsequently reconnecting the
original battery whilst the engine is
running must not be attempted. It is
likewise inadvisable to break or make
any other connections in the alternator circuit while the engine is running.

13-4

GROUP 13-CHARGING SYSTEM

5. Alternator Main Output Cable.


(a)The cable connecting the
alternator and the battery is 'live'
even when the engine is not running.
Care must be taken not to earth
this live cable if it should ever be
removed, or damage to the cable will
occur.
(b )The alternator must never be
run with the main output cable disconnected either at the alternator or
battery end while the field remains
energised or the rectifiers may be
damaged.
6. Arc Welding. The possibility
of damage to the semi-conductor
devices during arc welding operations
on a vehicle is very slight. However,
it is a worthwhile precaution to
isolate the control box and alternator
by disconnecting their wmng
connectors prior to carrying out any
arc welding work on the vehicle.
7. Testing Semi-Conductor Devices. Never use an ohmmeter of the
type incorporating a hand driven
generator for checking the rectifier
or transistors.
BATTERY LOW IN CHARGE,
HEADLIGHTS DIM AT IDLE
Refer to Fig. 4 for these symptoms.

CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT


STAYS ON
Refer to Fig. 5 for this symptom.
Oth~1 symptoms covered under this
heading- a1e : - batte1y will not hold
charge; altt>l nator has no output;
alternator has low output.
:'\OTE I.
If tht> owner has had previous
difficulty with the battery runninJ.~:
down and past history does not indicate that thl' problem i:,; due to
l'Xlessive night driving, l'Xcessive
use of accessories, short tl"ips Ol'
extended periods of .idle, then it is
suggested that the complete c:harging system he ehel:kl'd.
NOTE2.
Test the alternator output as described
in the applicable part of this Group.
NOTE 3.
Check the voltage regulator setting.
Only the Bosch regulator is adjustable.

If either type of Lucas regulator is outside


specification it must be replaced. Adjust
the voltage regulator if necessary (Bosch).
Refer to applicable alternator part of
this group.
NOTE4.
An output of 2 to 5 amperes less
than that specified usually indicates an
open diode. An output of approximately
10 amperes less than that specified usually
indicates a shorted diode. (Also see under
"Alternator Noisy").
NOTES.
A condition where normal output
results when testing as in NOTE 2, but
where low or no output results when the
system is nbrmally connected, could be
the result of faulty field circuit wiring.
Before replacing the regulator, check the
field wiring as follows:If the regulator operation is satisfactory,
check the wire from the accessory terminal
of the ignition switch to the voltage
regulator, and the wire from the voltage
regulator to the alternator. Repair or
replace as necessary.
Lucas - Remote regulator
Remove wiring plug from the regulator.
Switch on the ignition and check
voltage at F and IND terminals in wiring
harness. Battery voltage should be
indicated.
Lucas - Integral regulator
Remove wiring plug from IND terminal of the alternator. Switch on ignition.
Check voltage available of IND terminal
of harness. Battery voltage should be
available.
Bosch - Remote regulator
Remove wiring plug from the regulator.
Switch on the ignition and check for
battery voltage at the D+ terminal in the
harness. Switch off the ignition and replace the wiring plug.
If all checks in NOTE 5 are satisfactory to this point it remains only to
ensure that the regulator is effeotively
earthed. The Lucas injegral regulator earths
through a mounting screw to the alternator
frame .
The remote regulators earth through
their mounting brackets to the body shed
metal.

BATTERY

Refer to Fig. 6 for these symptoms.

Other symptoms covered under this heading are: battery uses excessive amount of
water; burning of; distributor points,
ignition resistor wire, or coil; high battery
charging rate.

ALTERNATOR NOISY
When investigating the complaint
of alternator noise, first try to localize the noise area to make sure
that the alternator is at fault
l'ather than the alternator belt,
water pump, or another part of the
vehicle. Start the engine and use a
stethoscope or similar sound detector instrument to localize the noise.
An alternator bearing, water pump
bearing or belt noise is usually evidenced by a squealing sound.
An alternator with a shorted
diode will normally whine (Magnetic noise) and will be most noticeable at idle speeds. Perform the
alternator output tests. If the output is approx. 10 amperes less than
that specified,, a shorted diode is
usually indicated.
To eliminate the belt(s) as the
cause of noise, check the belt(s) for
bumps, apply a light amount of belt
dressing to the belt(s). If the alternator belt is at fault, adjust the
t.elt to specification, or replace the
belt if necessary.
If the belt(s) is satisfactory and
the noise is believed to be in the
alternator or water pump, remove
the alternator belt. Start the engine
and listen for the noise as a double
check to be !lUre that the noise is
not caused by another component.
Use this test and the sound detector test to isolate the offending
unit. If the noise is traced to the
alternator, remove it and check
bearings for play or roughness.

TESTING THE DIODES
(RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY)

AND

In the event of a fault in one or


more of the diodes being indicated by
the. alternator output test, the rectifier pack must be removed from the
alternator.
There are two main possibilities
which can destroy a diode during
service, either a break-down in resistance to current flow caused by high
current flow and high temperature,
or an open circuit in both directions
almost always the consequence of
excess voltage.

POWER DIODES

I . Apply one probe to the diode


terminal strip (Lucas) or junction
(Bosch) and the other probe to the
appropriate heat sink.
2. Reverse the probes.
The test lamp should light in one
direction only. Should the lamp light
in both directions the diode is short
circuited. (If both diodes of one
phase are short circuited all 6 diodes
will show a short circuit when tested).
If the test lamp does not light
in either direction the diode is open
circuited.

Tests are made on a battery to


determine the state of charge and
also the condition. The ultimate result of these tests is to show that
the battery is good, needs recharging, or must be replaced.
If a battery has failed, is low in
charge, or requires water frequently, good service demands that the
reason for this condition be found.
It may be necessary to follow
trouble shooting procedures to locate the cause of the trouble. (Section 1. in this part) .

explode if flames or sparks are
brought near the vent openings of
the battery. The sulphuric acid in
the battery electrolyte can cause a
serious burn if spilled on the skin
or spattered in the eyes. It should
be flushed away with large quantities of clear water.
Before attempting to test a battery, it is important that it be given
a thorough visual examinaton to
determine if it has been damaged.
The presence of moisture on the
outside of the case and/ or low
electrolyte level in one or more of
the cells are indications of possible
battery damage.
Some batteries incorporate a single one-piece cover which completely seals the top of the battery and
the individual cell connectors. This
cover must not be pierced with test
probes to perform individual cell

tests.
A battery can be tested by determing its ability to deliver current.
This may be determined by conducting a Battery Capacity Test. (Fig.
19) shows the battery capacity
test in outline form.

BATTERY CAPACITY TEST


A high rate discharge tester
(Battery-Starter) in conjunction
with a voltmeter is used for this
test.
1. Turn the control knob on the
Rattery-Starter Tester to the OFF

Check the specific gravity. If the
specific gravity reading is 1.230 or
below, add water if necessary and
charge the battery until it is fully
charged.
The battery is fully charged when
the cells are all gassing freely and
the specific gravity ceases to rise
for three successive readings taken
at hourly intervals. Additional battery testing will not be necessary
after the battery has been properly
charg-ed .

9.

If the difference between cells

is less than 50 points ( 0.050) the


battery should be charged according
to the charging schedule.
In some cases the electrolyte
level may be too low to obtain a

cases water should be added until
the electrolyte level just covers the
ring in the filler well, then charge
the battery at 35 amperes for the
maximum charging time indicated

in specifications, for capacity of the


battery being tested.
10. After the battery has been
r:harged, repeat the capacity test.
If the capacity test battery voltage
is still less than 9.6 volts, replace
the battery. If the voltage is 9.6 or
more, the battery is satisfactory

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The Bosch alternator is a three


phase alternating current (AC) generator with six integrally mounted
silicon diodes that convert the AC
into direct current (DC) suitable for
charging the battery.
A further three smaller diodes are
fitted into the rectifier pack to provide DC for field excition via the
voltage regulator.
A remote voltage regulator ,
mounted on the fender apron, IS
used to control the alternator voltage
output.
The alternator is inherently self
current limiting and the diodes prevent reverse current flow from the
battery.
The alternator consists of the
following major parts: 1. The Stator, a laminated frame
which carries in slots the three phase
star connected output winding.
2. The Rotor, comprising the slip
rings and field (exciter) windings and
is constructed of interlaced poles or
fingers which form alternate north
and south poles. The field winding is
wound concentric with the shaft
inside the claw poles and has its
ends connected to the slip rings.
3. The Rectifier Pack containing
nine diodes.
The six output diodes are arranged
in a three phase bridge connection
having three diodes of positive polarity and three diodes of negative
polarity.
The three field diodes are in the
D+ circuit and allow portion of the

DC output current to be used for


indicator
light
operation and
excitation of the field winding
through the regulator.
4. The two end heads which carry
the ball bearings.
The drive end head incorporates
the mounting lug while the slip ring
end head contains the brush gear and
rectifier pack.

D+ Field diode junction for regulator

+ Radio suppressor terminal

OPERATION
With the ignition switch turned
on and the engine running (Fig. 3),
the flow of current through the rotor field coil energises the twelve
pole rotating electro magnet. The
rotation of the energised rotor unit
induces an A.C. voltare in the three
phase rotor winding which ia converted into D.C. by the aix diode
rectifiers and conducted to the B+ terminal.
The rectifiers, which only conduct
in one direction, prevent the battery
which is directly and permanently
connected to the alternator output
terminal, from diachar&'ing through
the alternator. This characteristic
of the rectifiers eliminates the need
for a cut-out relay, BUT IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT THE BATTERY MUST ALWAYS BE CON-

lii'ECTED WITH THE NEGATIVE


TERMINAL TO GROUND. FAILURE TO CONNECT A BATTERY
WITH THE CORRECT POLARITY
WILL DAMAGE THE ALTERNATOR AND REGULATOR. DISCONNECT ONE VEHICLE BATTERY LEAD WHEN USING A
QUICK CHARGER.

Portion of this D.C. is directed to the


field excitation diodes, one end of each
diode being connected to a phase of the
stator and the other end to the D+
terminal. From the D+ terminal the current
is routed through the regulator to the
DF terminal of the alternator. The current
now passes through the field winding to
ground.
As the speed of the rotor increases, the induced vol tage in the
stator winding increases, causing
more current to flow to satisfy the
load equirements. However, the inductive reactance of the stator
winding provides an automatic upper limit on the cu.rrent output of
the alternator.
The function of the voltage limiter is to control the output voltage
of the Alternator to meet the needa
of the vehicle electrical system
which it accomplishes by controlling the flow of current in the rotor
field coil.

14 ACR-4D and 6D models with an


integral 13 ATR voltage regulator.
With the exception of the positioning of the voltage regulator the two
types of alternator are basically the
same and the following description,

operation and repair procedures apply


to both except as noted.
The 14 ACR-4D and 6D models
vary only in their rated output being
40 and 55 amps respectively.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The stator comprises a 36 slot


3-phase star connected output winding on a ring shaped lamination pack,
housed between the slip ring end and
drive end brackets. The rotor is of 12
pole construction and carries a slip
ring fed rotor (field) winding. It is
supported by ball bearings in the
drive end slip ring end heads.
The brush gear for the field system
is mounted on the slip ring end

bracket. Two carbon brushes bear


against a pair of copper slip rings
which encircle the rotor shaft.
Rectification of alternator output
is achieved by six silicon diodes
contained within the slip ring end
bracket and connected in a three
phase bridge circuit between stator
and output terminals. A second rectifier bridge is formed by using three
auxiliary low current diodes in con-

junction with three of the six main


diodes and at normal operating speeds
this supplies the energy for the alternator field coil via the slip rings,

The diodes and stator windings are
cooled by airflow through the alternator induced by a ventilating fan
mounted on the rotor shaft at the
drive end.

mounted inside the slip ring end


head on the ACR type alternator,
while on the AC type alternator the
remote voltage regulator is mounted
on the fender apron.
In effect its action is similar to
that of the vibrating contact type
of voltage regulator, but switchin~ of
the field circuit is achieved by transistors instead of vibrating contacts.
No cut-out is required since the diodes
incorporated in the alternator prevent
reverse currents from flowing. No
current regulator is required as the
inherent self regulating properties of
the alternator limit the output current
to a safe value.
Design features include temperature compensation without the use of
a thermistor, radio frequency interference suppression, requires no adjustment in service.
The voltage regulator and alternator are isolated from the battery
when the engine is stationary by
means of the ignition switch.

EJ

OPERATION
With the ignition switch turned
on and the engine running (Fig. 24),
the flow of current through the rotor field coil energises the twelve
pole rotating electro magnet. The
rotation of the energised rotor unit
induces an A.C. voltage in the three
phase rotor winding which is converted into D.C. by the aix diode
rectifiers and conducted to the + output
terminal
The rectifiers, which only conduct
in one direction, prevent the- battery
which is 'directly and permanently
connected to the alternator output
terminal, from discharging through
the alternator. This characteristic
of the rectifiers eliminates the need
for a cut-out relay, BUT IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT THE BATTERY MUST ALWAYS BE CONNECTED WITH THE NEGATIVE
TERMINAL TO GROUND. FAILURE TO CONNECT A BATTERY
WITH THE CORRECT POLARITY

WILL DAMAGE THE ALTERNATOR AND REGULATOR. DISCONN ECT ONE VEHICLE BATTERY LEAD WHEN USING A
QUICK CHARGER.
Portion of the output current is fed
through the field diodes to the voltage
regulator. From the regulator this current
goes to ground via the field windings.
As the speed of the rotor increases, the induced voltage in the
stator winding increases, causing
more current to flow to satisfy the
load equirements. However, the inductive reactance of the stator
winding provides an automatic upper limit on the current output of
the alternator.
The function of the voltage limiter is to control the output voltage
of the Alternator to meet the needa
of the vehicle electrical system
which it accomplishes by controlling the flow of current in the rotor
field coil.

DESCRIPTION

VIBRATING CONTACTS

The BOSCH alternator regulator


is a single element electro-mechanical
voltage regulator only (Fig. 26).
Because of the inherent current
control of an alternator caused by the
inductive reactance of the stator no
current limiter is required and as
the rectifier diodes prevent reverse
current flow from the battery no
cut-out is required either.
The voltage regulator is a double
contact vibrating unit incorporating
a positive temperature co-efficient
resistor.
An electro-magnet attracting the
armature blade against spring tension
provides the voltage control.
A wire wound choke is used in the
field circuit to smooth out voltage
surge and prolong point life.
OPERATION

There are three phases of operation of the voltage regulator.

FIG. 28- Bosch Regulator


When the alternator voltage is
low the lower contacts will be closed
by the armature spring allowing full
system voltage to be applied to the
field windings.
Initial field excitation via the
ignition switch and indicator light
is applied to the field windings
through the lower contacts as residual magnetism in the alternator is
usually too small to start a voltage
build up.
2. Lower points open - first stage
of regulation Fig. 30.
When the alternator voltage irn
pressed on the electro-magnet reaches
a predetermined value the armature
is attracted to the core of the electromagnet, the lower contacts are opened
and a resistor is connected in series
with the field winding. The reduced
field strength causes the alternator
voltage to fall. As a consequence the
contacts cannot be held open by the
reduced influence of the electromagnet and they close. This cycle is
repeated 50-200 times per second
and the voltage is maintained at a
predetermined setting.
3. Upper contacts closed - field
circuit grounded - second stage of
regulation Fig. 31.
As the alternator speed and battery
voltage rise the voltage begins to
overcome the resistance and as a result
the alternator voltage will rise. The
influence of the electro-magnet becomes so strong that the upper points
will make contact. The stationary
upper point is grounded and so the
field circuit is short circuited. The
drop in voltage impressed on the
electro-magnet allows the armature
spring to open the upper points and
the resistor is again in circuit, this
cycle of regulation on the upper
points is also repeated many times
per second.

regulator are used .
The 9 ATR model voltage regulator
is mounted on the fender apron and

The 13 ATR is integral with the

circuits and the description and mode
of operation described herein apply
to both.
Both regulators are non-adjustable
and if tested and found defective

similar to that of the conventional
electro-mechanical regulator in that
the alternator field current is varied
to maintain the output voltage within
close limits, but switching is performed by transistors instead of
vibrating contacts and a Zener diode
provides the voltage reference in
place of the usual electro-magnet and
tension spring. The unit incorporates
a radio interference suppression capacitor.
Since current can only flow in one
direction through the alternator output diodes, no cut-out relay device is
required .. Neither is a current limiting
device needed, due to the inherent
self-regulating characteristic of alternators.
The control unit and alternator
field windings are isolated from the
battery when the engine is stationary
by means of the ignition switch.

OPERATION

In effect, the operation is similar


to that of the conventional electromechanical regulator in that the alternator field current is varied to maintain the stator output voltage within
close limits, but switching is effected
with transistors instead of vibrating
contacts, and a Zener diod~provides
the voltage reference in place of the
usual voltage coil and tension spring.
As the alternator is accelerated from
rest, its output voltage is allowed to
build up until it reaches a limiting
value set by the Zener diode and a
fixed resistance. At this point the
field current is reduced by the action
of a transistor amplifier. Any further
small increase in voltage beyond the
limiting value serves to switch out
the field completely - again by
transistor action.
When the ignition is switched on
the control unit is connected to the
battery through the indicator light,

this energises the base circuit of the


power transistors T2 through resistor
Rl. Refer in Lucas circuit diagram.
These transistors then become conducting by virtue of the transistor
action characteristic of the semi-conductor material employed in the
transistor and will permit current to
flow in the collector-emitter section
of the transistor and thus acts as a
closed switch to complete the field
circuit.
As the alternator rotor speed increases the rising voltage generated
across the alternator field-feed diodes
is applied to the potential divider as
illustrated in the diagram and identified as R3 , R2 and R4. According
to the position of the tapping point
on R2, a proportion of this potential
is applied to the Zener Diode (ZD).
This latter device which opposes
the flow of current through itself
until a certain voltage (known as the
breakdown voltage) is reached,
beyond which the current increases
very steeply for small increases in
voltage. The Zener diode can thus be
considered as a voltage conscious
switch which closes when the voltage
reaches its "breakdown" voltage
(about 10 volts), and since this is a
known proportion of the alternator
output voltage as determined by the
position of the tapping point, the
breakdown point, therefore, reflects
the value of the output voltage. When
this point is reached, the Zener diode
conducts and current flows in the base
circuit of the driver transistor T.l.
Again by transistor action, current
will now flow in the collectoremitter portion ofTl, so that some of
the current which previously passed
through Rl and the base circuit of
T2 is now diverted through Tl. Thus
the base current of T2 is reduced and,
as a result, so also is the alternator
field excitation. Consequently, the
alternator output voltage will tend
to fall: and this in turn will tend to
reduce the base current in T1 , allowing increased field current to flow
in T2. By this means, the field
current is continuously varied to
keep the output voltage substantially
constant at the value determined by
the setting of R2.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK CIRCUIT

Basically, this is the principle of


operation of the regulator, but there
are certain desirable additions. If the
field current were varied continuously
as described , considerable power dis-

sipation would occur in the power
transistor, leading to problems of
overheating. For this reason, it is
desirable to operate the transistor
either in the fully-on or fully~ff
condition, and this is the purpose of
the positive feed-back circuit comprising RS and C2. As the field
current in transistor T2 starts to fall,
the voltage of F rises and current
flows through resistor RS and capacitor C2, thus adding to the Zener
diode current in the base circuit of
transistor Tl. This has the effect of
increasing the current through T1
and decreasing the current through
T2 still further.
This effect is cumulative and the
circuit quickly reaches the condition
when T1 is fully-on and T2 fully-off.
As capacitor C2 charges, the feed-back
current falls and eventually reaches
a value at which the combination
of Zener diode current and feed-back
current in the base circuit of Tl is no
lbnger great enough to keep T1 fullyon. Current then begins to flow
again in the base circuit of T2, so that
the field current again begins' to
flow through T2. The voltage at
terminal F now commences to fall,
reducing the feed-back current eventually to zero. As T2 becomes yet
more conductive and the voltage at
F falls further, current in the feedback circuit reverses in direction, in
effect reducing still further the base
current in Tl. This effect also is

cumulative and the circuit reverts


to the condition where T1 is fully-off
and T2 fully-on. This condition is
only momentary, since C2 quickly
charges to the opposite polarity when
feed-back current is reduced the
current again flows in the base of Tl.
The circuit thus oscillates, switching
the voltage across the alternator field
winding rapidly on and off. This
method of operation results in considerably low power dissipation.
SURGE QUENCH DIODE

Because switching is achieved so


rapidly, any sudden collapse of the
field current would result in a very
high induced voltage being applied
to transistors T2. They are protected
by means of the surge quench diode
D connected across the field winding.
This also serves to provide a measure
of field current smoothing, since
the current continues to flow in the
diode after the excitation voltage is
removed from the field . This current
decays by only a small amount before the excitation is again applied.
RADIOINTEREFERENCE
SUPPRESSION

The elimination of radio interference caused by rapid switching


within the regulator is achieved by
connecting condenser Cl between
the base and collector terminals of
T1 to provide negative feed-back.

PART 13-5-ALTERNATOR REGULATOR


ZENER DIODE LEAK CIRCUIT

At high temperatures, a small


leakage current may flow through
the Zener diode even though the
latter is in the nominally non-conductive state. Resistor R6 provides
a path for this leakage current which
otherwise would flow through Tl
base circuit and adversely affect the
regulator action.
IN CAR TESTS AND

1 Description and Operation


2 Diagnosis and Testing ....

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Three types of starter motor are


used on XA/ZF Falcon/Fairlane
vehicles.
1. Ford - positive pre-engaged
pinion operated by a moving pole
shoe and remote relay.
2. Bosch - positive pre-engaged
pinion operated by an integral
solenoid.
3. Lucas - positive pre-engaged
pinion operated by an integral
solenoid.
The function of the starting system is to crank the engine at high
enough speed to permit it to start.
The system includes the starter motor
and drive, the battery, a remote control starter switch (part of the igni-

14-2
.... 14-2

tion switch). the neutral-start switch1


the starter relay or solenoid ana
heavy circuit wiring. The starter
mounting is shown in Fig. I .
Turning of the ignition key to the
START position actuates the starter
relay, through the starter control circuit. The starter relay then connects
the battery to the starter.
Cars equipped with an automatic
transmission have a neutral-start
switch, in the starter control circuit,
which prevents operation of the
starter if the selector lever is not in
the N (neutral) or P (park) position.
The starter utilizes an integral
positive-engagement drive

FIG. 1 -Starter Mounting -Typical

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

The following diagnosis and testing


procedures may be applied to all three
starter motors. Where applicable
read solenoid for relay.
A schematic diagram of the starting circuit is shown in Fig. 3
The majority of starting problems
usually fall into one of the following
situations: the starter will not crank
the engine; the engine will crank at
normal speed but will not start; and
the starter cranks the engine very
slowly.
If the engine will crank but will
not start, the trouble is usually in the
engine, fuel system or ignition system
rather than in the starting system.
Following are road map type

charts which may be followed to determine the cause of the difficulty


and the corrective action.

ROAD SERVICE
On road service calls, connect a
booster battery to the system for
cases of a starter that will not crank
the engine or a starter that cranks the
engine very slowly. If the starter
turns the engine over, but the engine
still will not start, even with the
booster battery attached, refer to the
following charts. Be certain that corred battery polarity is observed when
using a booster battery; posidve to
posidve, and negadve to negadve

connecdon of the au:dliary cables.

STARTER WILL NOT CRANK


THE ENGINE
Refer to Fig. 2 for this symptom.
NOTE I-NEUTRAL START
SWITCH TEST
On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, apply the
brakes and attempt to start the engine while moving the selector lever
through all ranges. This may determine if the problem is caused by a
maladjusted or defective neutralstart switch. Refer to Group 7 Part 3
for the adjustment of this switch.

neutral-start switch is out of adjustment or defective. If the engine
cranks, check for voltage at the battery terminal of the starter (ignition)
switch wiring harness connector wi!h
a test light or a voltmeter. If voltage
is not available, the wiring between
the battery terminal of the starter relay and the battery terminal of the
starter (ignition) switch is at fault.
If voltage is available, substitute an

STARTER LOAD TEST


Connect the test equipment as
shown in Fig. 6 Be sure that no current is flowing through the ammeter
and heavy-duty carbon pile rheostat portion of the circuit (rheostat
at maximum counterclockwise position).
Crank the engine with the ignition
OFF, and determine the exact reading on the voltmeter. This test is accomplished by disconnecting and
grounding the high tension lead from
the spark coil, and by connecting a
jumper from the battery terminal of
the starter relay to the ignition switch
terminal of the relay.
Stop cranking the engine, and reduce the resistance of the carbon pile
until the voltmeter indicates the same
reading as that obtained while the
starter cranked the engine. The ammeter will indicate the starter current
draw under load.

The starter no-load test will uncover such faults as open or shorted
windings, rubbing armature, and bent
armature shaft. The starter can be
tested, at no-load, on the test bench
only.

sometimes be detected by examining


the commutator for evidence of
burning. The spot burned on the
commutator is caused by an arc
formed every time the commutator
segment, connected to the open circuit winding, passes under a brush.

This test will determine if the


winding insulation has failed, permiting a conductor to touch the frame
or armature core.
To determine if the armature
windings are grounded, make the
connections as shown in Fig. 8. If
the voltmeter indicates any voltage,
the windings are grounded.
Grounded field windings can be
detected by making the connections
as shown in Fig. 9. If the voltmeter
indicates any voltage, the field windings are grounded.

This is accomplished by disconnecting and grounding the high tension


lead from the spark coil and by connecting a jumper from the battery
terminal of the starter relay to the
ignition switch terminal(s), of the relay.
The voltage drop in the circuit will
be indicated by the voltmeter (o to 2
volt range). Maximum allowable
voltage drop should be:
1. With the voltmeter negative
lead connected to the starter terminal
and the positive lead connecte~ to the
battery positive terminal (Fig.lO, connection <D) 0.5 volt.
l. With the voltmeter negative
lead connected to the battery terminal of the starter relay and the positive lead connected to the positive
terminal of the battery (Fig. 10, connection ) .. .. .. .. .. .. 0.1 volt.
3. With the voltmeter negative

2 Common Adjustments and Repairs

The Ford Starter Motor is a series


parallel wound four pole four brush
machine using a moving pole shoe
actuated positive pre-engaged pinion.
The mam battery supply is not
connected until the pinion is in
engagement unless tooth abutment is
encountered.
The starter motor is protected by
an overrunning clutch which disengages the drive between the
armature and ring gear as soon as the

engine starts and so prevents over


revving of the armature.
A remote relay connects the
starter to the battery when the starter
(ignition) switch is operate1.
When the starter is not in use, one
of the field coils is connected directly
to ground through a set of contacts.
When the starter is first connected to
the battery a large current flows
through the grounded field coil, actuating a movable pole shoe. The pole

14-8
14-8

shoe is attached to the starter drive


plunger lever and thus the drive is
forced into engagement with the flywheel.
When the movable pole shoe is
fully seated, it opens the field coil
grounding contacts and the starter is
then in normal operation. A holding
coil is used to maintain the movable
pole shoe in the fully seated position,
during the time that the starter is
turning the engine.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The Bosch Starter Motor is a series


parallel wound, four pole four brush
machine with solenoid actuated positive pre-engaged pinion. The main
battery supply is not connected until
the pinion is in engagement unless
tooth abutment is experienced. The
drive connection between starter armature and ring gear is automatically
broken by the overrunning clutch
coupling, which disengages the drive
as soon as the engine speed exceeds
that of the starter.
Closing the mlenoid switching circuit energises the pull-in and hold-in
solenoid windings. The soft iron plun-

ger is drawn in moving the engaging


lever which in turn moves the drive
assembly towards the ring gear. The
helical splines on the armature shaft
rotate the pinion slowly to assist in
engagement.
Should a tooth of the advancing
pinion abut a tooth of the ring gear,
the engaging lever will compress the
helical spring at the pinion until the
switch contacts close. The pinion is
then turned and engages with the ring
gear under the helical spring pressure.
Before the pinion is completely in
mesh the contacts in the solenoid
switch are closed by the action of the

FIG 1. BOSCH STARTER MOTOR

soft iron plunger. The starter then


rotates and cranks the engine. When
the starter rotates, the pull-in winding is de-energised by the isolation of
its ground connection, providing more
power for cranking.
As the starting speed of the engine
exceeds that of the starter, the pinion
rotates freely and engine acceleration
does not affect the starter. The drive
is pulled back by the tensional helical
spring, but, the pinion remains partly
engaged as long as the starter switch
is operated. Once the starter switch is
released, the plunger return spring
moves the pinion to its rest position
and the switch contacts open.

COMPONENTS
1.

Cleaning and ln:'pection


Clean and inspect all parts. Check
all bushings, bearing surfaces, pinion,
engaging mechanism and electrical
contacts for wear and replace worn
parts. Check electrical joints and connections and repair where necessary.
Field Coils
Test field coils for open circuits
with an incandescent low-voltage test
lamp in series. Test lamp must light if
circuit through field coils is complete.
Disconnect all ground connections
and connect test latnp from field
winding terminal to ground. Test
lamp will not light if field coil insulation is good.
Defective field coils should be removed with an approved pole shoe
screw driver only.
2.

Armature
Test armature winding for short
circuits in a growler and test insulation to ground with test lamp as
under 2.
The commutator should not be erroded or out-of-round. If it is necessary to re-dress the commutator, ensur<! its minimum diameter is not less
than specification. Undercut mica
between segments using a ground
down hacksaw blade or undercutting
machine.
3.

Carbon Brushes
Make sure brush~s slide smoothly
in their holders, brush connections
are good and brushes are clean and
not chipped. Brushes worn to less
than ~" long should be replaced, at

which time the commutator must be


machined. Always replace the complete brush set. Check brush spring
tension according to the prescribed
figures with spring balance. Replace
springs that do not conform to specifications.
5.

Bushings
Replace worn bushings by pressing
the old bushing out with a correct fitting mandrel and press the new bushing into place in like manner. New
sintered .bushings should be soaked in
oil for one hour before installation.

4.

Solenoid Switch
Remove switch cover fastening
screws. Unsolder external joints
where the winding ends are connected to the terminals and remove cover.
G.

14-12
Inspect contact bolts and contact
plate for wear and replace worn contacts. The short contact bolt is retained in place, after the terminal
nut is removed, by an external connecting strap from the solenoid winding terminaL This connecting strap
can be removed by prising the strap
away from the switch cover with a
screw driver. A replacement bolt can
be lightly pressed into the connecting
strap and after two or more threads
have entered, the terminal nut can be
used to draw the bolt into place.
The moving contact is secured by
a contracted washer. This washer can
be removed with a pair of side-cutters. After fitting a new moving contact, a circlip and cup washer must be
used to secure the contact; crimp cup
washer over circlip.
The operation of the detached
switch can be checked by connecting
a battery supply through a variable
resistance to both pull-in and holdin windings and increasing the voltage gradually until at 6.0 volts or less
the plunger moves into its operational
position. The plunger should return
to the rest position when the voltage
is reduced to, from 0.05-0.4 volts.
When an ignition coil resistor short
circuiting terminal No. 16 or C is
incorporated in the switch cover, the
terminal must be energised when the
switch is in the closed position.

terminal (9).
IMPORTANT: Ensure that a
water tight seal is made at rubber
packing (13).
MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Armature End Play
The armature end play is the
lengthwise travel (longitudinal) of
the armature in its bearings. Too
little or too much end play results in
increased wear of the bearings.
The end play is adjusted by placing or removing shims at the commutator end between the end cover
and circlip on the armature. Adjust
to specification.
Armature Braking Torque
The total armature braking torque
is composed of brush, bearing and the
auxiliary armature brake torque.
Too high a braking torque results
in excessive mechanical wear and
armature brake heating.
Too low a braking torque results in
extended starter stopping time. Also,
the starter overrunning acceleration
will be too high. Armature torque can
be measured with a torque balance.
Clutch Overrunning Torque
The overrunning torque of the
clutch assembly is the force necessary
to turn the pinion in a rotary direction while the armature shaft is held
sationary. Too low an overrunning
torque may prevent starter power
application. If the overrunning torque
is too high, the armature can reach
too high e speed and may be damaged.
For measuring overrunning torque,
move the pinion forward at least 0.4",
with armature stationary measure
torque in direction of rotation. Clutch
assemblies not conforming to the
specifications must be replaced.

ELECTRICAL TESTS OF
ASSEMBLED STARTER MOTOR
The electrical test values depend
upon the condition of the battery
(capacity and charge). The testing
period also plays an important part
(heating of the starter and battery
discharge) . Long cables on the test
bench also influence starter performance. The test period should therefore
be as short as possible. The batteries
must be in good condition and well
charged or the electrical values of a
faulty starter will differ considerably
from the specified test data.

Circuit Diagram
The internal circuitry of the starter
and the electrical connections are
given in the diagram above.
1.

Short-circuit Test
Clamp starter in test bench and
connect in accordance with the wiring
diagram.
The ring gear of the test bench and
the starter pinion must have the same
pitch; adjust backlash and out of
mesh clearance.
Operate starter and apply test
bench brake until pinion is almost to
a standstill. At this moment read current and voltage which must conform
to specifications.

DESCRIPTION

The Lucas starting motor model


M40AK is a pre-engaged, four pole,
four brush, four inch diameter
machine with a series parallel
connected field, an armature with
a face type commutator and a
solenoid operated roller clutch drive.
The face type commutator on the
end face of the armature works in
conjunction with a fully insulated
brush bear assembly comprising two
pairs of brushes and coil type springs
assembled into a brush box moulding
attached to the inside of the end
cover by two Phillips head screws
which also act as earth returns for
the starter earth brushes.
OPERATION

Closing the solenoid switching


circuit energises the pull in and hold
in solenoid windings. The soft iron
plunger is drawn in moving the
engaging lever which in turn moves
the drive assembly towards the ring
gear. The helical splines on the
armature shaft rotate the pinion
slowly to assist in engagement.
Should a tooth of the advancing
pinion abut a tooth of the ring gear,
the engaging lever will compress the
helical spring at the pinion until
the switch contacts close. The pinion
is then turned and engages with the
ring gear under the helical spring
pressure.

1. Remove the field coil/solenoid


linking cable from the solenoid
terminal.
2. Remove the starter motor
through bolts.
3. Remove the brush gear retaining screws.
4. Withdraw commutator end
cover assembly and field yoke assy.
5. Unscrew the solenoid retaining
nuts and remove the solenoid.
6. Remove the armature assy.

TESTING STARTER COMPONENTS

1 . Clean and inspect all parts.


Check all bushings, bearing surfaces,
pinion, engaging mechanism and electrical contacts for wear and replace
worn parts. Check electrical joints
and connections and repair where
necessary .
2. FlEW COILS.
The field winding insulation can be
checked by connecting a 11 0 volt AC
15 watt test lamp between one of
the brushes and part of the yoke. If
the lamp lights it indicates that the
field coils are earthed. Remove and
rectify or replace the field coils as
required.
Check field coil continuity by
connecting a 12 V battery operated
test lamp, between each of the field
coil brushes, and the field terminal.
The lamp will light if continuity is
satisfactory.
3. BEARING REPLACEMENT.
Both end brackets are fitted with
self lubricating porous bronze bearing
bushes. New bushes must be immersed
in clean engine oil (SAE 30-40 Grade)
for a minimum of 24 hrs. before
fitting and must not be reamed after
fitting.
Bushes should be replaced on the
occasion of a major engine overhaul
or when the starter motor is to be
fitted to a replacement engine.

The bush in the drive end housing


can be pressed out whilst supporting
the housing.
the
bush in the
Remove
commutator end bracket by inserting
a 9/16" tap for a few turns into the
bush and withdraw the bush with
the tap.
CLUTCH AND
4. ROLLER
DRIVE.
The roller clutch is an over running
or free wheeling device, which prevents the armature from being rotated
at an excessive speed in the event of
the drive being held in engagement
after the engine has started.
A roller clutch drive assembly in
good condition will provide instantaneous take up of the drive in one
direction and rotate smoothly and
easily in the other. The assembly
should move freely round and along
the armature shaft splines without
any roughness or tendency to bind .
Should the assembly not meet
these requirements, a replacement
unit should be fitted.
All moving parts should be liberally smeared with Molybond GS1 0
grease or a suitable equivalent.
5 . BRUSH BOX.
Each of the four brushes should be
free to move in the brush box moulding. Sticking brushes can usually be
freed by cleaning the brushes and
moulding with a petrol moistened
cloth. Brushes which are worn to or
are approaching 3/8" in length must

FIG. 3 -Testing the Brush Spring


tension.

be renewed as a set. Note the positions of the long and short brush
leads in relation to the commutator
end bracket and field winding termination.
(a) FIT NEW BRUSHES AS
FOLLOWS:The two earth brushes, flexible leads
and fixing plates are serviced as
complete assemblies.
To replace the field coil brushes,
cut off their flexible lead 1/8 - 1/4"
from the field winding joint. Solder
the new long and short brush leads
to the ends of the original leads.
Ensure that the insulated sleeves
on the leads provide maximum
coverage consistent with satisfactory
soldering.
(b) BRUSH SPRINGS.
To measure the brush spring pressures,
position a new brush in each of the
brush boxes in turn and then press
on top of the brush with a push type
spring gauge until the top of the
brush protrudes about 1I16" from the
brush box moulding. At this point
the ~pring pressure reading should be
approx. 28 oz. F. (see FIG. 3).
6. COMMUTATOR.
A commutator in good condition
will be burnished and free from pits
and burned spots. Clean the
commutator with a petrol moistened
cloth. If the commutator is badly
worn, mount the armature between
centres in a lathe, rotate at high
speed and take a light cut with a very
sharp cutting tool. Do not remove
more metal than is necessary. The
minimum thickness to which the
commutator may be skimmed before
replacement is 0 .080". The commutator surface should be finally
polished with very fine glass paper.
NOTE: The insulators between the
commutator segments must not be
undercut.
7. FOULING OF ARMATURE
AGAINST POLE FACES.
Fouling of the armature against the
pole faces indicates either worn
bearings or a distorted shaft. A
damaged armature must in all cases
be replaced and no attempt should be
made to machine the armature core
or to straighten a distorted shaft.
8. ARMATURE WINDING INSULATION TESTS.
(a) To check the insulation of the
armature windings, remove all traces
of brush dust with a dry air blast
Using a 11 0 volt AC 15 watt test lamp,
connect between a commutator segment and the armature shaft. If the
lamp lights replace the armature.
(b) Check the armature for short

FIG. 1 -Installation Speedo Cable.

SPEEDOMETER DIAGNOSTIC
PROCEDURES
Speedometer system complaints are
generally the result of a visible or
audible defect in the system. It is imperative that the specific defect be
determined prior to attempting any
physical repairs to preclude unnecessarily disassembling system components. The following suggestions are
intended to aid in quick and accurate
system problem diagnosis.
VISIBLE DEFECTS
Slight Needle Waver or
Severe Needle Fluctuation
(No Noise)

I. Loose cable retainer .


l. Defective speedometer head.
3. Bent cable core at attaching
nut.
4. Kinked or pinched cable housing.
5. Excessive grease in speedometer head.
Inoperative
1. Broken cable core.
l. Defective drive and/ or driven
gear.
3. Defective speedometer head.
AUDIBLE DEFECTS
Clicking or Ticking (With
Needle Waver), Grinding
or Ringing

I. Loose cable retainer.


l. Defective drive and/ or driven
gear.
3. Defective speedometer head.
4. No lube on cable.

SPEEDOMETER REPAIR
PROCEDURES
NOTE: To effect any tests or repairs
on the speedometer head the instrument cluster must be detached from
the instrument panel (see page 1515)
to gain access.
DEFECfiVE SPEEDOMETER
HEAD
Before removing a speedometer
head, disconnect the cable at the
head and insert a short section of cable core in the head. Rotate the section of core to check for any dragging or noise. The speedometer shaft
should turn freely and evenly.
DEFEq'IVE CABLE CORE
AND HOUSING
1. To check for a kinked cable
core remove and wipe dry. Lay the
core out stra\ght on a flat surface
and roll it back and forth . Any kinks
or damage will be seen. Then take
an end in each hand, allowing core
to hang in approximately a 9-inch
loop. Rotate both ends to be sure
core turns evenly.
2. Routing of the cable housing is

particularly important where the cable leaves the speedometer head. The
optimum routing would provide that
the cable and housing take virtually
no change of direction for at least
a length of 8 inches from the speedometer head.
3. When installing a new cable
and housing it is necessary that the
new assembly be guided and routed
properly to eliminate any kinks.
4. Proper lubrication of the cable
core is accomplished by a light
application of a lubricant after the
cable has been wiped clean. A light
film is all that is required.
DEFECTIVE DRIVE AND
DRIVEN GEARS
1. A score nicked or gouged driven gear is usually indicative of a defective drive gear on those vehicles
that have the drive gear integral
with the transmission output shaft.
The output shaft should be carefully
inspected for imperfections and replaced if necessary.
2. A driven gear with two or
three adjoining teeth badly scored is
indicative of improper assembly procedure. The gear should be inserted
in the transmission while simultaneously turning the drive shaft. This
will insure initial gear engagement
and prevent gear damage. Force
should never be used.
3. Whenever a drive gear is replaced, a new driven gear should al-

so be installed, regardless of its apparent condition.

nSTING
Refer to Group 22 for schematics and locations of wiring harnesses.
HORN TEST
The only test necessary on the
horn is for current draw.
Current Draw Test

Connect a voltmeter and ammeter


to the horn and to a voltage supply
as shown in Fig. 2. The normal
current draw for the horns at 12
volts is 4-5 amperes.

HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND
BEAM SELECTOR SWITCH TESTS
The following tests may be made
to determine whether a headlight
switch or a beam selector sw1tch is
defective:
Turn on the headlights, and operate the beam selector switch. If none
of the headlights turn on when the
beam selector switch is operated, yet
the instrument panel lights operate,
the headlight switch or the red-yellow stripe wire from the headlight
switch to the beam control switch is
probably defective. Suhstitute a
known good switch for the suspected
switch to determine whether the
switch or the wiring is at fault.
If the headlights operate only with
the beam selector switch in one position, the selector switch or the wiring from the switch to the headlight
is defective. Substitute a known good
selector switch for the suspected
switch to determine whether the
switch or the wiring is at fault.
CONSTANT VOLTAGE
REGULATOR TEST
The instrument cluster must be removed to gain access to the voltage
regulator and gauge terminals.
Turn the ignition switch on, check
for voltage at the fuel gauge upper
terminal (Falcon) temp gauge terminal adjacent to the regulator screw.
The voltage should oscillate beabout
10
tween
zero
and

volts. If it does not, the constant


voltage regulator is defective, or
there is a short to ground between
the voltage regulator and the gauges.
If a gauge unit is inaccurate or
does not indicate, replace it with a
new unit. If the gauge unit still is
erratic in its operation, the sending
unit or wiring to the sending unit is
faulty.
If both the fuel gauge and the
temperature gauge indicate improperly and in the same direcdon, the
constant voltage regulator could be
defectin, as it supplies both gauges.

TESTING FUEL AND


TEMPERATURE GAUGES
FUEL GAUGE.
A simple check to show whether it
is the sender unit or gauge unit at
fault is to fit a known good sender
unit in the circuit.
If the gauge unit reads proportionate to the float setting, the gauge
unit is correct .
Do not test gauge units by shorting
terminals direct to earth. Minimum
circuit resistance is to be held to
10 ohms for high indication. Lower
resistances will destroy calibration.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE TEST
Start the engine and allow it to
run at 1200 rpm for 30 minutes.
Place a thermometer in the coolant
at the radiator filler cap. The temperature should read a minimum of
180F., and the gauge in the instrument panel should indicate within
the normal band.
If the gauge does not indicate,
short the temperature sender unit
terminal wire to ground (ignition
switch on). Do not leave the sender
wire grounded longer than necessary
to make the test, as the gauge may
be damaged. If the gauge now indicates, the sender unit is defective or
not properly sealed to the engine. Be
sure to use an electrically conductive
sealer. If the gauge does not indicate, the gauge, the wires leading to
the gauge, or the constant voltage
regulator are at fault.

15-5

out, indicating that the oil pressure


has built up a safe value.
To test the oil pressure switch on
the engine, turn the ignition switch
on, engine not running, the indicator
hgnt snould come on. If the indicator light does not come on, shch"t the
terminal of the oil pressure switch
unit to ground. If the tight now
comes on, the oil pressure switch is
defective or not properly sealed to
the engine. Be sure to use electrically conductive sealer
If the light still does not come on,
the bulb is burned out or the wires
from the bulb to the ignition switch
and oil pressure switch are defective.

CHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT


TEST
.To test the charge indicator light,
turn the ignition switch on with the
engine stopped. The light should
come on. If it does not, the bulb is
burned out, or the wiring to the light
is defective or there is a fault in the
alternator/regulator circuit. Remove
the wiring plug from the D+ terminal
of the Bosch alternator regulator
or the IND terminal of the Lucas
alternator regulator.
Connect a jumper lead from the
D+ or IND terminal in the cable to
earth. The indicator light should
come on.
If the light comes on the regulator
is at fault. If the light does not come
on the fault is in the wiring or globe .
To check the globe and wiring
the instrument cluster surround must
be removed to gain access to the
globe .
SPEEDOMETER TESTS

OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR


LIGHT TEST

To test the odometer accuracy,


drive the car over a measured mile.
Speedometer accuracy
can
be
checked by comparing the speedometer in question against one known
to be accurate, while two cars are
moving at the same speed, or by
timing the car on a measured mile.

To test the indicator light, turn on


the ignition switch. Do not sta~t the
engine. The light should come on.

HORNS
Standard and De-Luxe models are
fitted with one low tone horn. On

Fairmont, Futura and G.T. models


a pair of tuned horns is used, one a
high pitched tone, the other, which
is similar to the single horn installation, has a low pitched tone. A horn
button closes the circuit to the horn(s).
High and low tone horns can be
identified by the letter "H" or "L"

respectively cast into the throat of


the horn (Fig. 3, Part 15-1).
NOTE: Horns are located forward
of the left front suspension tower.
SEAT BElT WARNING LAMP.
The standard vehicle has a seat
belt warning lamp fitted which
illuminates only whilst the ignition
switch is held in the start position.
On vehicles fitted with seat belt
retractor a relay is used which
illuminates the lamp for 12-1 ~
seconds after switching on the
ignition.

IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
All headlight adjustments should
be made with a half-full fuel tank
plus or minus one gallon, with a
person seated in the driver's seat,
and a person in the passenger seat,
the car unloaded and the trunk
empty except for the spare tyre and jacking equipment, and recommended pressure in all tyres. Before each adjustment, bounce the
car by pushing on the centre of
both the front and rear bumpers, to
level the car.
To align the headlights by means
of a wall screen, select a level por-

tion of the shop floor. Lay out the


floor and wall as shown in Fig. 6.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjust each upper headlight beam
as shown in Fig. 6. Some states
may not approve of the D + 2 inch dimension for the headlights.
Check the applicable state law.
Each headlight can be adjusted
by means of two screws located
between the light and radiator grill
Fig. 5 & 6.
CAUTION
Always adjust aiming screw
counter clockwise then clockwise
until high intensity of light is

properly aimed. This will bring the


beam into final position with the
unit held under proper tension when
operation is completed.
Note: Do not check aim on the
low beam.

BACK UP LIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Place the shift lever in the reverse


position. Loosen the switch retaining clamp and position the switch
so that the operating plunger is depressed n ~. Ensure that the switch
body is not contacting the shift arm
and is parallel to the arm. Tighten
the clamp.

NOTE: If the instruments require servicing while the assembly is removed from the instrument panel,
the cluster case must be earthed to the vehicle body. Failure to observe this precaution will cause immediate
damage to the fuel and temperature gauges as soon as any power is applied to the electrical circuits.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

All of the instruments are electrically operated except the speedometer. Brightness of the instrument panel lights is controlled by a rheostat
adjacent to the lighting switch.
GAUGES

The instrument cluster includes


a fuel gauge, temperature gauge,
charge indicator light, oil pressure
indicator light, speedometer, high
beam indicator light, a left- and
right-hand turn signal indicator light,
brake warning light, and stop lamp
and brake warning light.
CONSTANT VOLTAGE
REGULATOR

The constant voltage regulator


(Fig. 17) used with the fuel, temperature, and oil gauges maintains an
average value of S.O volts at the
gauge terminals.
The regulator operates by means
of a bimetallic arm and a heating
coil. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the heating coil (Fig. 17).

heats the bimetallic arm causing it


to bend and break the contacts, disconnecting the voltage supply from
the heating coil. The bimetallic arm
then cools and brings the contacts
together again. The making and
breaking of the contacts, causes a
pulsating voltage, with an effective
average value of S.O volts to be supplied to the gauges. Although these
pulsations are quite rapid, there is
in each gauge a bimetallic arm which
changes temperature quite slowly,
and this assures steady average readings.
As the pulsating voltage would
normally cause radio interference, a
radio interference suppression choke
is connected in series with the constant voltage regulator supply wire.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE
UNIT

FIG. 17- Gauge Voltage Regulator


and Temperature Gauge - Typical.

FUEL GAUGE

The fuel gauge consists of a sending unit, located on the fuel tank, and
a remote register unit (fuel gauge)
mounted in the instrument cluster.
The remote register unit pointer is
controlled by a bimetallic arm and
heating coil. The sending unit is a

rheostat that varies its resistance depending on the amount of fuel in the
tank. The rheostat is operated by a
float control. As the fuel level rises or
falls the float control arm moved by
the float, varies the resistance.

turned on, and it should go out when


the engine comes up to speed. The
light is connected between the oil
pressure switch unit mounted on the
engine at the left rear on the six,
above the oil filter on the V-8 (Fig.
18) and the coil terminal of the
ignition switch. The G.T. has an oil
gauge adjacent to the tachometer.
TURN INDICATOR

The turn indicator uses a single


filament globe in the upper section of
the front park/ indicator combination
lamp and the centre section of the
rear light assembly.
The turn indicator flasher is located in the back of the instrument
panel, on the steering column brace.
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

FIG. 19- Oil Pressure Switch and


Temperature Sending Unit 6 Cyl.

FIG. 18 -Temperature Sender and


Oil Pressure Switch - V8 Typical.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The temperature gauge consists of


a $ending unit mounted in the cylinder head at the top front on the
V-8 (Fig. 18 or 19), left rear on the
six, and a remote register unit, (temperatl~e gauge) mounted in the instrument cluster.
Changes of engine temperature
vary the resistance of the sending
unit which in tum operates the temperature gauge.
CHARGE INDICATOR
LIGHT

A red alternator charge indicator

EJ

OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR


LIGHT

An amber indicator light illuminates when the oil pressure is below a


safe value. The light should come on
when the ignition switch is first

The speedometer is connected to


the output shaft of the transmission
by means of a flexible shaft, and a
drive gear located inside the transmission. The flexible shaft drives the
speedometer which registers speed in
miles per hour and also drives an
odometer which records distance
traveled in miles and tenths of a
mile.
BRAKE WARNING LAMP

A red indicator lamp illuminates


when either the front or rear brake
systems become inoperative. The
warning light switch is located in the
master cylinder body.
"Prove out" of the light circuit is
conducted by turning the ignition
switch to the start position when the
lamp should illuminate.

IN-CAR ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

WINDSHIELD WIPER
BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Turn the ignition switch to the

must be replaced. The brush gear
assembly must be renewed if the
main (diametrically opposed) brushes
are worn to -k , or if the narrow
section of the third brush is worn to
the full width of the brush.
Check that the brushes move
freely in the boxes.
(2) CHECKING BRUSH SPRINGS
The design of the brushgear does
not allow for easy removal of the
brush springs. This is due to the fact
that, similar to the brushes, the
springs are expected to last the life of
the motor and should not normally
require renewing. In the unlikely
eveDJ: of the spring pressure failing to
meet the specified requirements, the
complete brushgear service-assembly
must be renewed, in a similar manner
to that necessary for servicing the
brushes.
To check the spring pressure press
on the end face of the brush with a
push-type spring gauge (see Fig. 6)
until the bottom of the brush is level
with the bottom of the slot in the
brush box, when the spring pressure
reading should be 5-7 ozf.
Note: In the event of the brushgear being renewed, it is important
to re-connect and position the cables
in accordance with Fig. 25

1 Negative brush cable


2 Third brush cable
3 Positive brush cable

FIG. 25- Checking brush spring pressure.

Mterwards, clear the inter-segment


spaces of copper swarf.
(4) INSPECTION OF MOULDED
GEAR
Examine the gearwheel, especially
the teeth, for signs of wear or damage.
If the gearwheel needs renewing, a
shaft-and-gear service replacement
assembly will have to be fitted.
(5) BEARINGS
All bearings are self-lubricating
and require no attention for the life
of the motor.
The bearings are not a serviced
item and if for any reason replacement is required the body and/ or
yoke assemblies must be renewed.
ASSEMBLY
This is generally a reversal of the
dismantling procedure detailed in (b)
but special consideration should be
given to ..he following:
1.

A liberal quantity of Shell Alvania


No. 2 grease is necessary for lubricating the gearwheel teeth, the gear
wheel cam and the worm gear on the
armature shaft. The total quantity of
grease must not be less than 15 cc.

(3) TESTING AND SERVICING


THE ARMATURE

Use armature testing equipment


to check the armature windings for
open and short circuits.
Test the soundness of the armature
insulation by using a mains test lamp
(Fig. 7). Lighting of the lamp indicates faulty insulation.
If the commutator is worn, it can
be lightly skimmed while the armature is mounted in a lathe.

IIOV........_.

FIG. 26- Armature insulation Test.

2.
Armature end-float is
0.008" (0.05-0.2 mm).

0. 002-

To obtain a satisfactory end-float


adjustment with the motor and gearbox completely assembled, position
the unit with the thrust screw uppermost, tighten the thrust screw until
abutment takes place and then
slacken it off one quarter turn and
secure it in this position by tightening the locknut.
The yoke fixing bolts should be
tightened to a torque of 25 lbs. in. If
a service replacement armature is
being fitted, it is advisable to fint
slacken the armature end-float thrust
screw before tightening the yoke
fixing bolts. Mterwards, reset the
thrust screw.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

VENTILATING SYSTEM
Two ventilating air outlet ducts
are located under and at each end
of the instrument panel; both ducts
are open to the cowl air inlet plenum
chamber. Two manually operated
flap valves are located within the air
ducts. The flap valves are opened, to
allow the entry of fresh air into the
passenger compartment, by pulling
the respective left or right hand
knobs on the instrument panel
(Fig. 1). Pull knob half way out for
floor level or full out for face level.

HEATING SYSTEM
The heater is a blown system
connected to an opening in the
left hand air duct. The entire
heater assembly is located under the
instrument panel, and it is necessary
to remove the heater assembly to ser-

vice major components of the heater.


Outside air is drawn into the
vehicle from the cowl inlet through
the left-hand air duct into the heater
housing and through the heater core
and then discharged through outlets
in the distribution box or windscreen
demister outlets (Fig. 2).

AIR AND TEMPERATU1tE


CONTROL
The control assembly is located on
the dash panel in the instrument
cluster assembly. It contains two
horizontal slide levers and a blower
switch (Fig. 2).
The upper lever is used for controlling mode position. The lower
lever is used for controlling air temperature. The three-position switch
controls the two-speed motor and
fan. The air temperature is varied by
a temperature control door which
blends hot and cold air. A tap in the
engine compartment cuts off water
in the cold position.
As the temperature control lever
is moved- from the cold to hot
position, a Bowden cable operates
the temperature control door to mix
hot and cold air through the heater.

The air is then discharged into


the distribution chamber. A distribution flap valve is located within
the chamber to control the discharge
of air between the interior and the
screen and to close off all air in
the off position.
The 1apper control lever actuates
a Bowden cable connected to the
flap valve in the distribution
chamber. Air is directed as required
through the interior air outlets or
through the demist outlets below
the windscreen.
The air flow distribution can thus
be modulated by setting the control
lever in any position between "interior" position and the "off" position, varying the volume of air
erttering through the interior outlets. All air flow is cut off with the
control lever in the "off" position.
A single demist nozzle directs the
air to two slots in upper dash panel
below the windscreen.
Two speeds are provided for the
blower with a 3 position switch
in the control assembly. A resistor
located in the motor circuit controls
the "lo" speed. The amount of
heating can be varied by the two

HEATING AND DEMISTING

For maximum effect :


1. The left hand air duct must
be fully closed.
2. The temperature control lever
moved to the "HOT" position.
3. The fan switched to the "HI"
position. The distribution lever may

EJ

be moved to either the "FLOOR" or


"SCREEN" positions, intermediate
positions may be selected to give
combined effects.
COOL AIR VENTILATION

With the temperature control in


the cold position, the unit will
function as a ventilation system,

directing the air flow to the interior


or screen as required.
MIXED VENTILATION

Should it be desirable, with the


right and left hand air vents full open,
cool air may be admitted to face
level with warm air being directed
to the screen or to the interior or
both, by normal operation of the
heater.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


This zone ranges in temperature from
70 to 9QF and in relative humidity
from 30% to 70% . Outside conditions
determine the actual recommended
inside conditions.

DESCRIPTION

The Air Conditioning System is a


combined heater-cooler unit located
in the forward part of the automobile.
Functionally, the unit is a normal
mechanical refrigeration system,
combining the primary components
of a compressor, condenser receiver,
expansion valve and evaporator. In
addition, a magnetic clutch belt
driven from the engine crank, is used
for the compressor drive.
Basically, the capacity of any air
conditioning system, be it in a building or in a car, should be such that
inside conditions are maintained
within the normal "comfort zone"
CAPILLARY

The heater unit is functionally the


same as described in Part 16-1.
OPERATION
(a)

REFRIGERANTCYCLE

The refrigerant cycle is as follows:


Low pressure, low temperature gas
from the evaporator enters the compressor at the suction valve. In the
compressor the gas is raised to a high
temperature and pressure. Superheat
is added to the gas due to heat of

compression and mechanical heat.


From the compresf,or, the gas enters the condensor where the superheat is first removed and the charge
is condensed to the liquid state (still
at high pressure) .
Leaving the condensor, the high
pressure liquid passes to the receiver
then to the expansion valve. At this
point, the throttling action of the expansion valve reduces the liquid to
a low temperature and pressure
where it enters the evaporator.

In the evaporator, the liquid boils


until the charge is entirely vapourised , then returns to the compressor.

(b) SYSTEM CAPACITY


Design of the components of the
system is such as to provide a capacity
potential comparable to any unit presently marketed. Rated capacity of

the compressor is 3! tons at 4,000


R.P.M.
Note that one ton of refrigeration is
equivalent to the cooling effect of
melting 2,000 lbs of ice in 24 hours.

valve. As a suction is created in the


evaporator coil by the action of the
compressor, it allows the refrigerant
entering the coils from the expansion
valve to expand and boil. This causes
an evaporative effect lowering the
temperature in the evaporator coil.
As the warm air is blown across the
coils, it is cooled to a comfortable
level.

(b) EXPANSION VALVE


(a)

EVAPORATORASSEMBLY

For the "front end" unit, the evaporator assembly contains the evaporating or cooling coil, blower, motor,
and controls. This assembly is located below the instrument panel in the front
compartment. Cooled air is discharged into
the cabin through adjustable louvres.
The evaporator coil is of fin and
tube construction and is made complete with inlet and outlet manifolding.
Male fitting s (expansion valve inlet and
evaporator outlet) extend through the
dash panel for connection to the expansion
valve in the engine compartment.
Refrigerant is sprayed into the
evaporator coil from the expansion

The expansion valve is a pressure


reducing control which regulates refrigerant flow to the evaporator. High
pressure freon enters the valve in
the liquid state and leaves as a low
pressure spray, being approximately
75% liquid by weight but 25% liquid
by volume. Its action is analogous
to the cor:1mon garden hose nozzles
where the hose line is "solid" with
water, but a fine spray is emitted from
the nozzle.
The expansion valve also senses suction
temperature, thereby actuating the valve.
With rise in suction line temperature
the charge in the bulb expands exerting pressure on the valve, forcing it
to open and allow more refrigerant

to flow. With reduced temperature


the charge contracts, relieving pressure to the valve diaphragm subseq
uently causing orifice ir. valve to
close.
(c) COMPRESSOR Fig. 24
The compressor is a -reciprocating
twin-cylinder type driven through a
magnetic clutch, which is belt driven
by a special pulley on the engine
crankshaft. Belt tension is obtained
by positioning of an adjustable idler
pulley. The fuction of the compressor
is to raise the low temperature. low
pressure gas entering from the eva
porator (suction side) to a high temperature high pressure gas which is
pumped to the condensor (discharge
side). In this compression process,
temperature of the discharge gas is
raised above that of the condensor air
supply (atmospheric temperature) ,
thereby dissipating heat removed
from the car interior.
The compressor is equipped with
two service valves. One is defined as
"discharge" and the other "suction".
Both are of the "back seat" type used
for service checks. With valve stem

PART 16-2- AIR CONDITIONING


full out (counter clockwise) the
gauge adaptor fitting is closed, allowing the cap to be removed and line to
be attached. Turning the stem (clockwise) opens the gauge port. To shut
the valve off to or from the compressor, the stems must be full in (clock
wise) .
On compressors equipped with Dill
core valve ports, the compressor can
be shut-off from the system by clamping off the suction and discharge
hoses.

The compressor mounts horizontally to the left (8 cyl.) and 250 2V


to right. 250 1V compressor is
mounted vertically on the right.
(d) MAGNETIC CLUTCH Fig. 24
The compressor drive clutch allows
the system to be "on" or "off" as
desired and also provides positive
temperature control when combined
with a thermostatic switch. The basic
parts of the clutch are the field drive
assembly. (F ield coil, bearing, slip
ring and pulley), clutch plate assembly and brush bracket assembly.
The magnetic clutch is employed
also to allow the compressor pulley to
free wheel when the air conditioner
is not being used, therefore, the compressor is not operating needlessly.
Therefore, during the winter or off
season it is not necessary to remove
the belt from the compressor pulley.

EJ

The compressor clutch has a ballbearing which is pressed into the field
coil assembly and located with a snap
ring. The clutch plate assembly is
pressed into the bearing and held by a
snap ring, and the hub is then secured
to the tapered compressor shaft with
a locking bolt. This permits the clutch
pulley to free wheel when the field
coil is not energised.
When the evaporator air and temperature switches are turned on, current is allowed to flow to the field
coil energising the electro-magnet;
this causes the clutch plate to be held
in contact with the field coil and
compressor pulley, thus the compressor is being driven through the clutch
plate. In the off position of the evaporator air switch the electro-magnet
is not energised and the clutch plate
does not contact the field coil assembly and therefore does not drive
the compressor.
(e) CONDENSOR
Like the evaporator, the condensor
is of fin and tube construction.
Discharge gas from the compressor
is pumped to the condensor, mounted
ahead of the car radiator. Air passing
over the condensor first removes the
heat of compression from the gas,
then condenses it to a liquid state.
Temperature of the air through the

16-9
condensor must be lower than the
saturation temperature of the discharge gas. Air temperature and
quantity determine the condensing
temperature and pressure.
The top fitting of the condensor is
to be used as the inlet fitting from the
compressor. The lower fitting is for
the liquid line returning freon to the
receiver.
Servicing the condensor coil consists mainly of removing bugs, dirt
and other foreign matter would tend
to restrict airflow across the condensor.
(f) RECEIVER-DRIER-SIGHT
GLASS
The receiver is a cylindrical housing incorporating inlet and outlet
ports filters, drier and sight-glass.
It functions as a reservoir for the
liquid refrigerant from the condensor providing sufficient charge for all
variations of weather. The drier
serves as a moisture trap and filters
minute substances which may travel
through the refrigerant circuit. The
sight glass aids in determining
whether system is fully charged or
not. In fully charged systems the
sight glass will appear clear and
when undercharged it will continue
bubbling or frothing when the system
is operated.

USE OF SIGHT GLASS

Clean the sight glass before checking for a proper charge of refrigerant.
Then, observe the sight glass for
bubbles with the engine running at
1500 rpm and the A/C controls set at
maximum cooling. A continuous or
large amount of bubbles in the sight
glass indicate an undercharge of refrigerant . If an under-charge of refrigerant is found, check the system for
leaks. Repair any leaks, evacuate the
system with a good vacuum pump,
and charge the system with the proper
amount of Refrigerant-12 .
No bubbles in the sight glass
indicate either too much refrigerant
or a complete loss of refrigerant.
While observing the sight glass, cycle
the magnetic clutch off and on,
with the engine running at 1500
rpm. If refrigerant is in the system,
bubbles will appear while the clutch
is off and disappear when the clutch
is on. If no bubbles appear during
the on and off cycle of the magnetic
clutch, there is no refrigerant in the
system. If there is no refrigerant in
the system, it will be necessary to
leak test, repair as required, and
charge the system. Under conditions
of extremely high temperatures,
occasional foam or bubbles may
appear in the sight glass.

RECEIVER- DRYER TEST

Operate the air conditioner for


about five minutes; then, slowly move
your hand across the length of the
unit from one end to the other.
There should be no noticeable
difference in temperature. If cold
spots are felt, it indicates that the
unit is restricting the refrigerant flow ,
and the receiver-dryer must be
replaced.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH TEST

Disconnect the magnetic clutch


wire at the bullet connector, and connect it to the negative lead of an
ammeter. Connect the positive lead
of the ammeter to the battery
positive terminal. The magnetic clutch
should pull in with a distinct click
and the current reading on the

Refrigerant-12leakage through any


part of the seal can be determined
only by a leak detector. Be sure to

because the oil may contain refrigerant which would give erroneous
readings. If refrigerant leakage at the
seal exceeds I oz. per year, replace
the seal as outlined in Section 5.
If no leak is found at the compressor crankshaft seal, thoroughly
check all system fittings and lines
for leaks as outlined in this Section.

FIG. 17- Compressor oil level,


check and oil trap.
COMPRESSOR OIL LEVEL CHECK
Under normal conditions, when the
air conditioning system is operating satisfactorily, the compressor oil level need
not' be checked. There is no place for the
oil to go except inside the sealed system,
when the engine is first started, some of
the oil will be pumped into the rest of the
refrigerant system. After several minutes
of operation, most of the oil is returned
to the compressor crankcase.
Check the compressor oil level only
if any portion of the refrigerant system
is being replaced, or if there was a leak in
the system and the" refrigerant is being
replaced.

PART 16-2- AIR CONDITIONING


The compressor oil capacity is 10
fluid ounces. If there is a surplus of oil
in the system, too much oil will circulate
with the refrigerant, cause a reduction in
cooling capacity of the system.
Too little oil will result in poor
lubrication of the compressor.
When it is necessary to replace a
component of the refrigeration system,
certain procedures must be followed to
assure that the total oil charge in the
system is correct after the new part has
been fitted to the car.
When the compressor is operated,
oil gradually leaves the compressor and is
circulated through the system with the
refrigerant. Eventually a balanced condition
is reached in which a certain amount of oil
is retained in the compressor and a certain
amount is continually circulated.
If a component is removed from
the system after operation, some oil will
go with it. To maintain the original total
oil charge, it is necessary to compensate for
this by replacing oil in the new replacement part.
The procedure for replacing oil
is as follows: -

COMPRESSOR ONLY
1. Idle the engine for 10 minutes at
1000-1500 rpm at maximum cooling and
high blower speed to allow oil to circulate
in the normal manner.
2. Discharge the system and remove
the. compressor from the vehicle. Remove
the drain plug and pour the oil into a
measuring container. Make a note of the
amount of drained oil, then discard it.
3_ If a new compressor is being fitted
drain all initial fill oil from the sump.
4. If the oil drained from the removed
compressor measured less than 4 ounces,
replace 6 ounces of new oil in the replacement compressor.
5. If the oil drained from the removed
compressor measured between 4 and 6
ounces, the oil is properly distributed
throughout the system. Simply replace
an equal amount of new oil in the replacement compressor.
6. If the oil drained from the removed
compressor measured 6 ounces or more,
replace ONLY 6 ounces of new oil in the
replacement compressor.

REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS
Whenever replacing a component of
the air conditioning system, add measured
quantities of oil to the component to
assure that the total oil charge in the
system is correct before the unit is operated.
Oil should be added to replacement
components as follows :Evaporator
Add 3 fluid ounces
Condenser
Add 1 fluid ounce
Add 1 fluid ounce
Receiver

Condenser and receiver assembly add 2


fluid ounces.
Oil should be poured directly into the
replacement component.
If an evaporator is installed, pour oil
into inlet pipe with the pipe held vertically
so oil will drain into the core.
If any other components such as
valves or hoses are replaced, no additional
oil is necessary whilst the air-conditioning
system is discharged. The compressor oil
level can be checked using the tools
shown in figures 16-17 as follows:1. Remove the oil filler plug from
the compressor. Insert a flattened 1/8 inch
diameter rod (Fig. 17) in the oil filler ' hole
until it bottoms.
The dipstick must be wiped completely
clean before insertion. If necessary, slightly
rotate the compressor crankshaft by hand
so that the dipstick will clear the crankshaft.
On horizontally mounted compressors,
the oil check hole is located on the side of
the crankcase that faces up. On the
opposite or downward side, there is a
corresponding boss provided on the inner
wall as an alternate oil check hole for a
different mounting. When checking the oil
level on such a compressor, angle the
dipstick so that it bottoms against the
lower side of the crankcase and not
against the boss.
4. Pull out the dipstick, and check
the oil indication. It should show at least
the minimum amount of oil as indicated
in Fig. 16.
If the oil level is low, add ESAM2C31-A (Ford Part No. C9AZ-19577A) oil
If too much oil is indicated proceed
as follows:(a) Draw out all of the oil using a trap
similar to that shown in Fig. 17, or remove
the compressor from the vehicle and pour
the oil out of the crankcase.
(b) Add oil until at least the minimum
amount is indicated on the dipstick .
5. Remove the dipstick and refit the
filler plug.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The refrigerant used in the air conditioner system is Refrigerant-12 . Refrigerant-12 is nonexplosive, noninflammable, noncorrosive, has practically no odor, and is heavier than air.
Although it is classified as a safe refrigerant, certain precautions must be
observed to protect the parts involved
and the person who is working on
the unit.
Use only Refrigerant-12. Do not
use refrigerant that was canned for
pressure operated accessories (such
as boat air horns). It is not pure
Refrigerant-12 and will cause a mal-

16-19
function. Liquid Refrigerant-12, at
normal atmospheric pressures and
temperatures, evaporates so quickly
that it contacts. For this reason,
extreme care must be taken to prevent any liquid refrigerant from
coming in contact with the skin and
especially the eyes.
Refrigerant-12 is readily absorbed
by most types of oil. It is therefore
recommended that a bottle of sterile
mineral oil and a quantity of weak
boric acid solution be kept nearby
when servicing the air conditioning
system. Should any liquid refrigerant
get into the eyes, use a few drops of
mineral oil to wash them out, then
wash the eyes clean with the weak
boric acid solution. Seek a doctor's
aid immediately even though irritation
may have ceased.
Always wear safety goggles when
servicing any part of the refrigerant
system.
The Refrigerant -12 in the system is
always under pressure. Because the
system is tightly sealed, heat applied
to any part would cause this pressure
to build up excessively.
To avoid a dangerous explosion,
never weld, use a blow torch, solder,
steam clean, bake body finishes, or
use any excessive amount of heat on
or in the immediate area of any part
of the air cooling system or refrigerant supply tank, while they are
closed to the atmosphere whether
filled with refrigerant or not.
The liquid refrigerant evaporates so
rapidly that the resulting refrigerant
gas will displace the air surrounding
the area where the refrigerant is released. To prevent possible suffocation in enclosed areas, always discharge the refrigerant from an air
cooling system into the garage exhaust collector. Always maintain
good ventilation surrounding the
work area.
Although
Refrigerant-12
gas,
under normal conditions, is nonpoisonous, the discharge of refrigerant
gas near an open flame can produce
a very poisonous gas. This gas will
also attack all bright metal surfaces.
This poisonous gas is generated when
the flame-type leak detector is used .
Avoid inhaling the fumes from the
leak detector. Make certain that
Refrigerant-12 is both stored and
installed in accordance with all state
and local ordinances.
When admitting Refrigerant-12 gas
into the cooling unit, always keep the
tank in an upright position. If the
tank is on its side or upside down ,
liquid Refrigerant-12 will enter the

GROUP 16- VENTILATING AND HEATING

system and damage the compressor.


In surrounding air temperatures above
90 degrees F ., prolonged engine idle
will result in excessively high compressor pressures.

ADJUSTMENTS

DISCHARGING THE SYSTEM

When replacing any component


in the air conditioning system, the
system must be discharged. To discharge the system proceed as follows:
1. Remove the caps from the high
and low pressure service (Schrader)
valves in the high and low pressure
lines at the compressor (Fig. 18).
2. Turn both manifold gauge
valves fully clockwise to close the
gauge set to the center outlet hoses
(Fig. 19).
3. Connect the high and low
pressure gauge hoses with adapters,
to the respective high and low
pressure service valves at the compressor (Fig. 20).
4. Place the open end of the center
hose in a garage exhaust outlet.
5. Slowly depressurize the refrigeration system by opening the low
pressure gauge valve a slight amount
and allowing the refrigerant to discharge slowly from the system.Fig. 20
6. After the system is nearly discharged, open the high pressure
gauge valve very slowly to avoid
loosing an excessive amount of refrigerant oil and allow any refrigerant
remaining in the compressor and
high pressure line to discharge.

manifold gauge valve at the full


counter-clockwise or open position.
4. Set the high pressure (discharge) manifold gauge valve at the
full clockwi~e or closed position.
5. Open the Refrigerant-12 tank
valve to allow refrigerant to enter
the system, and observe the gauges.
When both gauges reach 60 to 80
pounds at approximately 75 degrees
F, shut off the tank valve.
6. Perform the leak test with the
leak detector (Fig. 21 ).
7. Set the A/C controls for maximum cooling (Fig. 5).
8. Start the engine and open the
R-12 tank valve again to prevent
drawing vacuum on the suction side.
9. With the engine running at
1500 rpm, complete charging the
system until the specified weight of
refrigerant has entered the system.
The sight glass should be clear with
no bubbles visible at this time. (Note:
Under 70 degrees F ambient a few
bubbles may appear in the sight glass).
10. If the refrigerant will not enter
the systein due to low temperature,
it may be necessary to place the
~efrigerant-12 tank in a container of
hot water at about 150 degrees F.
This will increase the R -12 pressure
and force the gas from the tank
during charging. Never heat the Re-

EVACUATING THE SYSTEM

1. Discharge the system as described in the foregoing procedure.


2. Attach atank of Refrigerant-12
and a vacuum pump to the manifold
gauge set. Make certain the Refrigerant-12 tank valve is tightly closed.
3. Open both manifold gauge set
valves.
4. Run the vacuum pump until
the low pressure gauge reads at least
25 inches and as close to 30 inches
of vacuum as possible . Continue
vacuum pump operation for 20-30
minutes to remove any moisture out
of the system. Turn off the pump
and close both gauge valves.

VALVE CLOSED

CHARGING THE SYSTEM

1. Discharge and evacuate the


system as outlined in the foregoing
procedures.
2. Leave the vacuum pump valve
closed .
3. Set the low pressure (suction)

dangerous explosion may result.
11. During the charging, the high
pressure (discharge) side may build
up to an excessive value. This can
be caused by an overcharge of refrigerant, or an overheated engine, in
combination with high surrounding
temperatures. Never allow the high
pressure to exceed 240 pounds while
charging. If it does, stop the engine,
determine the cause, and correct it.
12. After the proper charge has
been made, close the Refrigerant-12
tank valve, and check the system
pressures for proper operation. (Low
pressure suction gauge 4-25 psi; high
pressure discharge gauge 120-170 psi
at 70 to 90 degrees F ambient).
13. After satisfactory operation has
been achieved, disconnect the manifold gauge set high and low pressure
hoses from the service valves (Fig. 20).
14. Install caps on the service
valves and the manifold gauge set
lines (Fig. 18).

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

Attach the manifold gauge set as


shown in Fig. 20. Leave both manifold
gauge valves at the maximum clockwise (closed) position. Both gauges
should show approximately 60 to 80
pounds pressure at 75F with the
engine not running. If ve~;y little
or no pressure is indicated, leave
the vacuum pump valve closed, open
the Refrigerant-12 tank valve, and set
the low pressure (suction) manifold
gauge valve to the counter clockwise

Note - when using transistorized

Flame type
leak detector only. The smaller the
flame the more sensitive it is to
leaks. Therefore, to ensure accurate
leak indication, keep the flame as
small as possible. The copper element
must be red hot. If it is burned
away, replace the element. Hold the
open end of the hose just below each
suspected leak point for two or three

seconds. The flame will normally be


almost colourless. The slightest leak
will be indicated by a bright green
blue colour to the flame .
Be sure to check the manifold
gauge set and hoses for leaks as well
as the rest
the system.
NOTE: If the surrounding air is
contaminated with refrigerant gas,
the leak detector will indicate this
gas all the time. Good ventilation is
necessary to prevent this situation. A
fan, even in a well ventilated area, is
very helpful in removing small traces
of refrigerant vapour.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

COMPRESSOR
All compressor removal and installation operations, except belt replacement, can be performed only
after the unit has been discharged.
When replacing a compressor, the
oil level in the old compressor should
be checked. Then the right amount
of oil should be removed from added to the new compressor so that
the oil level is the same as that in the
old compressor. This keeps the
amount of oil in the system a constant. Failure to use this procedure
is the most common reason for
excessive oil in the crankcase. Refer
to Compressor Oil Level Check, Adjustments Section 3.
Removal
1. Discharge the system - refer
to Adjustments Section 3, and disconnect the two hoses from the
compressor (Fig. 24). Energize the
clutch and loosen and remove the
clutch mounting bolt.
2. Install a 5/8-11 bolt in the
clutch drive shaft hole. With the
clutch still energized, tighten the
bolt to loosen the clutch from the
shaft. Disconnect the clutch wire
at the bullet connector.

Theaerial socker is located on a


short lead at the left hand rear of the
receiver and the aerial trimmer condenser on the top to the left hand
and rear of the receiver.
The speaker lead and socket is at
the rear of the receiver together with
the "A" lead which has its own fuse
(See Fig. 1).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

The procedures given cover only


minor radio receiver troubles. Each
procedure either locates the minor
trouble or determines that the receiver
should have a major repair. The follo~
ing parts will be required to make the
radio trouble shooting tests:-

Noisy reception-when car in motion.


1. Loose or broken aerial cable.
2. Loose or defective aerial.

Spare fuses (8 ampere); Aerial and


lead (XL-18813-A, XL-18814-A);
Speaker (A.W.A. Part No. 50263W)
(Ford Part No. ARC 90C18808A);

Noisy reception--engiqe running.


1. Defective suppression equipment.
2. Capacitors not properly grounded.
3. Receive1 not properly grounded
to instrument panel.
4. Aerial not properly grounded to
fender.

RADIO DIAGNOSIS GUIDE


No reception. Check for the following:
1. Burned-out fuse.
2. Defective aerial or aerial cable.
3. Shorted speaker lead or defective
speaker. (Be sure to turn off the radio
receiver before removing the speaker.)
4. If radio still will not play, remove
the receiver for a major repair.

DISTURBED OR GARBLED
SOUND
Check for the following :
1. Voice coil rubbing on centre pole
piece of speaker magnet.
2. Torn speaker cone.
3. Foreign material on cone.
4. Bent or twisted speaker mounting.
5. If still distorted remove for major
repair.

NOISY OR ERRATIC RECEPTION


Check for the following :
Noisy reception--engine not running.
1. Loose connections.

WEAK RECEPTION
Check for the following :
1. Adjustment of the aerial trimmer.

2. Check aerial cable.


3. Radio nuts tight :

All mounting bolts must be tightened


securely in order to provide adequate
earthing for the radio.
4. Aerial tight :
5. Aerial Connections tight :
Aerial lead in cable must be firmly
inserted into the receptacle in the receiver.
6. Aerial Trimming :
The radio must be trimmed to match
the aerial at installation. This procedure is simple and quick , vitally important for good performance and the
most neglected of all the installation
steps.
7. General Care:
Many installations suffer due to generally careless work, causing rattles around
the speaker area, unsightly installations (cables dangling) and damage to
the aerial lead-in during installation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DUST AND WATER LEAKS


Sealer locations should be considered when checking for dust or water
leaks. The forward motion of the car
creates a slight vacuum within the
body, particularly if a window or
ventilator is partially open. Any unsealed small opening in the lower
section of the body will permit air
to be drawn into the body. If dust is
present in the air, it will follow any
path taken by the air from the point
of entry into the passenger and luggage compartments. Opening the
ventilator air ducts will equalize
these pressures. Dust accumulates in
the rocker panel, and may eventually
work its way to the kick-up or the
rear body pillar, and follow the contour of the wheelhouse into the luggage compartment.
To eliminate dust leakage, determine the exact point at which the

EJ

dust enters. The point of entry is


often deceptive in that the dust may
enter at one point, then follow the
passages formed by interior trim to
another point.
Under certain conditions, water
can enter the body at any point
where dust can enter. Any consideration of water leakage must take into
account all points covered under
dust leaks.
To determine the exact location of
a dust leak, it may be necessary to
remove the following trim from the
car:
1. Cowl trim panel.
2. Rear seat back and seat cush-

ion.

3. Luggage compartment
mats, and sdde trim panel.

floor

4. Scuff plates.

After removing the trim, the location of most leaks will be readily
evident. The entrance of dust is usually indicated by a pointed shaft of
dust or silt. Seal these leaks, and road
test the car on a dusty road to make
sure that all leaks are sealed.
After the road tests, check for indications of a dust pattern around the
door openings, cowl panel, lower
part of the quarter panel, and in the
luggage compartment.
Sometimes leaks can be located by
putting bright lights under the car,
with the above components removed,
and checking the interior of the
body joints and weld lines. The light
will show through where leaks exist.

COMMON ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

A wide variety of sealers are used


by manufacturers. Since it would be
difficult to stock all of these sealers,
the all-purpose sealers described
have been selected for service
use. The method and points of application are given under each sealer
type.
A cement for all weatherstrips.
To repair leaks at windshield

ADHESIVE

Multi-purpose cement is a quick drying, strong adhesive cement for general


purposes . It is suitable for cementing rubber to metal, rubber to cardboard or
wood or rubber to rubber.
Surface to be cemented must be cleaned of all grease, dust and mould com_pound. To be assured of a clean surface, wash thoroughly with a cloth moistened
with clean petrol or cleaner's Naptha.
Cement is applied to both surfaces, allowed to dry for a few minutes, then
pressed together firmly.
If used according to directions, this white coloured cement gives a clean,
satisfactory result.

These Sqlers are used for semisealing jobs such as are found in the
floor pan, wheel houses, dash panel,
rocker panel, door opening, quarter
panels and drip mouldings. It is also
used to seal trim panel and outside
moulding clip holes and for windshield
and back window installation.
The grey coloured sealer is mainly
used for general purpose operations
as described. but the black can be
used as an alternative as deemed
necessary . The black sealer is especially suitable for windshield and back
window servicing or when paintwork
etc. is of darker colours.

Prevents squeaks, rust and sticking.

Invaluable as a dry lubricant on car door dovetails, locks, latches, striker


plates. Just clean the surface to be lubricated and apply a thin film- only a
little is required.
Also has a lot of domestic home uses--cupboard doors, window slides etc.

BODY ALIGNMENT

Servicing the unitized body should


present no unusual difficulties or
necessitate additional equipment
other than that required for the
conventional frame and body repair.
The application of heat and the use
of heavy-duty jacks must be carefully controlled because of the difference in the gauge of the metal
in the sub-frame of a unitized body
&nd the stress points developed in a
single welded unit construction. It
is possible to pull damaged areas

back into alignment with the use


of light-weight jacks and hydraulic
equipment without heating the
metal.
Rough out badly damaged areas
before taking measurements for
squaring up a body. If necessary,
remove the glass from the damaged
area to prevent damage. In severe
cases reinforcement brackets and
other inner construction may have
to be removed or cut to permit

restoration of the outer shell and


pillars without excessive strain on
the parts. Straighten, install, and secure all such parts in place before
attempting to align the body.
In cases of severe or sharp bends,
it may be nece'lsary to use heat.
Any attempt to cold-straighten a
severely bent bracket may cause
ruptures of the welds and may also
cause cracks in the bent part. Never
heat the area more than a dull red.

17-4

GROUP 17-BODY, DOORS AND WINDOWS

CHECKING BODY FOR


MISALIGNMENT
To align or square up a body, take
two opposite diagonal measurements
between pillars. Use a measuring
tram for these measurements. Take
the measurements between reference
points such as crease lines or weld
joints which are diagonally opposite
each other on the two pillars being
measured. Since all measurements
should be made from the bare metal,
remove all interior trim from the
checking points.
In some cases, it is difficult to obtain proper body alignment when
repairing a body that is damaged
on both sides. In these cases, horizontal and vertical measurements
can he taken from a body of the
same body.. style. Once these b;~sic
dimensions are taken and established
on the damaged body. alignment can
be made by diagonal measurements
taken from points on the two pillars.
Do not attempt to correct any
serious misalignment with one jacking operation. This is particularly
true if other sections of the body
also require aligning. Align each
section proportionately until the
proper dimensions are obtained.
Door openings are checked in the
same manner as the body. Horizontal, vertical. and diagonal checking
points are established on all four
sides of the door opening that is
being measured.
CHECKING UNDERBODY FOR
MISALIGNMENT
The dimensions of the underbody
must be restored in the repair of
major body qamage, to provide correct front and rear wheel geometry
(Fig. 1). All the dimensions are
detailed to the centre line of existing holes in the underbody assembly.
Once the frame and suspension
members are aligned, the balance
of the repair can be performed.

PAINT REFINISHING
Acr~ lic Enamels. Acrylic enamels
exhibit better hardness. mar resistance and gloss retention in metallic
colors than the ordinary enamels.
Acrylic enamels also possess the
property of good polishability.
Following are recommended repair procedures for acrylic enamels:
Repair By Polishing. Repair of
minor dirt or fallout. sags, mars.
scratches. dry spray. overspray and
orange peel can be accomplished by
machine or hand oolishing or by

both sanding and polishing without


the necessity of repainting. Repairs of
this type should apply to an entire
panel while spot repairs should be
attemped on.Jy in isolated areas.
The suggested polish repair procedure consists of:
1. Remove the defect hy oil sanding with 600 grit paper, using water
or mineral spirits as a lubricant.

2. Apply a white or light colored


medium grit machine polishing
compound to the painted surface
with a brush.
3. Polish the entire panel surface
using an I 850 rpm wheel and a carpet pad (approximately %-inch nap)
or lambswool pad.
4. Buff the surface with a clean
lambswool pad.
Normally. acrylic enamels do not
need polishing to improve their gloss;
however, the foregoing procedure
can he used to restore the original
luster to the film after weathering,
or to ill}prove the surface smoothness of the finish on the entire car.
Repair By Repainting. Acrylic
enamels can be repaired by repainting with either conventional air drying or low bake enamels, or with
acrylic lacquers. When repainting
metallic colors, it is recommended
that acrylic lacquer be used since a
better color match can be obtained;
both the original finish and the repair can be polished to provide the
same luster, and the air dry acrylic
repair lacquer will provide better
durability in service than air dry
enamels. Do not use Nitrocellulose
lacquers for exterior repairs.
When using any one of the three
types of repair materials over acrylic
enamel, remove all traces of wax,
polish or grease with a good silicone remov~r. It is extremely important that a thorough sanding
of the original finish be accomplished using No. 400 grit paper.
Care should be exercised to ensure
that all surfaces; including edges
and areas adjacent to applied
mouldings, are thoroughly sanded
in order to provide adhesion of
the repair top coat. Areas saaded
to the base metal (cut through)
should be treated with an acid
cleaner. Follow the directions of
the supplier as stated on the container.
After sanding, proceed with the
application of a primer surfacer reduced according to the supplier's
recommendations to any bare metal
spots that have been exposed. After

the recommended air dry time, sand


the primer surfacer with No. 400
grit paper before application of the
repair material. The lacquer or
enamel used should be reduced as
recommended by its supplier.
PAINT DEFECI'S AND REPAIR
PROCEDURES
Listed here are some of the abnormal paint conditions that may be
encountered (Fig. 2). It is very important to identify the paint conditio.:t correctly so that the proper
repair procedure may be followed.
For each of the following paint conditions described, the recommended
repair procedure will be indicated.
BLISTERING
Blistering is the formation of bubbles or pin points on the surface of
the finished work. Unless inspected
by a magnifying glass, this condition
is very hard to identify. In some instance;, this complaint may be confused with dirt in the paint. To
verify blistering, prick the suspected
areas, and note whether a hole exists
under the bubble. This condition is
caused by rust, moisture, or oil between the coats, metal not properly
cleaned, or uneven temperatures
between the metal and' the paint
being sprayed.
Acrylic Enamel. Repair by repainting (color coat) . Priming procedure must first be followed if
defect is due to poor metal preparation.
CHECKING
Line checking has the appearance
of thin, straight lines criss-crossing
each other. These lines may be from
one-half inch to four inches or longer, increasing in length as the finish
ages.
Acrylic Enamel. Refinish panel.
(Color coat-primer if damaged.)
CHIPPING AND
STONE BRUISES
Chipping occurs when the surface
of the finish coat of paint has been
broken by a sharp blow, and small
p,articles of paint have flaked off.
Frequently, stone bruises result in
chipping.
Acrylic Enamel. Refinish panel.
Paint may be spotted if in isolated
areas. (Prime to be bare metal.)
CRACKING
Cracking is evidenced by the
paint curling. Frequently, cracking
starts at the edge of the panel. This
is caused by poor mixing of paint
or by temperature changes during
the various painting stages.

CROW FOOTING
Crow footing may be described
as small lines branching off from
a point in all directions and giving
the appearance of a crow's foot.

The term off-color is applied to
adjacent areas on which the colors
do not match . It may also appear
when making spot repairs.
Acrylic Enamel. Refinish panel

ORANGE PEEL
Orange peel is a term used to
describe an uneven, mottled appearance on the paint surface. This is
usually caused by improper thinning of the paint.
Acrylic Enamel. Refinish panel if
polishing does not correct condition.
(Color coat.)
OVERSPRAY
Overspray is evidenced by a
rough, dull finish in the area surrounding the paint repair.
PEELING
Peeling occurs when large areas
of the finish or primer coat separate
from the metal or prime coat. This
is usually caused by wax , grease,
rust or oil under the paint. Do not
confuse with orange peel.
PITS AND POf-UPS
Pits and craters may be ident ified
by the appearance of small round

depressions in the paint. These may


be caused by not allowing the first
coat ol dry sufficiently before applying the second coat or from failure
to remove silicone polishes before
repainting.
Acrylic Enamel. First use polish

necessary. (Color coat.)
THIN PAINT
The primer will show through
the fini sh coat as a result of an excessively thin color coat, or application of the color coat before the
surface is dry.
Acrylic Enamel. Refinish panel.

RUNS AND SAGS
The . uneven collections of paint
on the finish surface are referred to
as runs and sags. The collections
may appear in the form of tear
drops or sagging lines. Usually these
lines are quite soft and sometimes
the y may be wrinkled . This is usually
caused by over-application of paint
or hesitation in the stroke of the
gun .
Acrylic Enamel. Use polish repai r procedure.
SCRATCHES
Scratches are thin marks or tears
that may partiall y or completely
penetrate the surface of the finish
coat of paint.
Acrylic Enamel. Use polish repair procedure for shallow penetration . Refinish panels to correct conditions of deep penetration.
SPOT DISCOLORATION
This is evidenced by brown spots
or stains on the surface. Stains or
spots can be caused by road tar, acid
or alkali-bearing water from the
streets.
Acrylic Enamel. Use polish repair procedure.
WATER SPOTTING
Water spotting is evidenced by a
milky pattern where water drops
have fallen .
Acrylic Enamel. Use polish repair procedure.

INDUSTRIAL FALLOUT
IndustJ;ial fallout is the result
of particles being exhausted into
the air by the various processes
of heavy industry, in areas where
there is a concentration of such
industry.

17-7

Industrial fallout particles appear


to the eye as tiny rust coloured
dots on the paint film and the surface feels rough to the touch. Some
of the particles have excellent adhesion and are difficult to remove.
However, the following procedure
has proven effective in the removal
of this fallout .
1. First, wash the car with car
wash compound to remove loose
soil. Rinse well and examine painted
surfaces for iron base fallout particles. If there is a significant
quantity of fallout not removed by
ordinary washing, the acid treatment should be used. All cracks,
ledges, grooves, etc., where fallout
has accumulated should be cleaned
by wiping or by an air blow off.
2. Dilute 1 part hydrochloric acid
(commercial grade) to 100 parts of
warm water and add one or two
tablespoonsful of a non-alkaline detergent such as car wash compound
to every gallon of the diluted acid
mixture. Other neutral detergents
are permissible, but all alkaline
compounds should be avoided. This
acid detergent solution must be
prepared and kept in a clean NONMETALLIC container.
Apply this solution liberally to
all affected surfaces of the car
with a large sponge. U se a broad
wiping stroke and keep the work
completely wet for about fifteen
minutes, or until the operator can
no longer feel any surface roughness or even isolated gritty particles with bare or gloved finger
tips. If this is not done thoroughly
rust stain may soon re-develop.
Again, it is most important that
the work be kept wet, since a
dry acid residue is not active in
loosening fallout.
Be sure that the entire acid
cleaning procedure is performed in
a sheltered area so that the work
will be kept as cool as possible,
to prevent rapid evaporation of
water and consequent surface drying. DO NOT WORK IN THE
SUN. Even a strong breeze makes
it difficult to keep the job wet over
a large area.
3. Rinse the job with clean water.
This must be done very thoroughly
to prevent possible corrosion.
CAUTION : No traces of acid
should be left on any surface.
Bright trim parts, particularly anodized aluminium and stainless steel
may be stained by prolonged con-

17-8

GROUP 17- BODY, DOORS AND WINDOWS

tact with the cleaning solution.


Even painted areas can be spotted by prolonged exposure. It is
also important to keep the acid
cleaner solution from leaking inboard because some fabrics might
be bleached or discoloured by the
same.
NOTE: If the fallout is not completely removed or is deeply imbedded in the paint film, cleaning
with the acid detergent mixture
must be repeated. This may be
aided by using a fine scrubbing brush,
possibly a nylon bristle type. Just
make sure that the light scrubbing
required does not scratch the paint.
It is also helpful sometimes to
brisklv rub the work with a mixture of equal parts of the acid
cleaner and a cleaner wax polish,
using a piece of heavy towelling.
Again thorough_ water rinsing is
extremely important.

EJ

The use of Oxalic Acid to remove


metallic particles derived from Industrial Fallout has been investigated. The use of Oxalic Acid is not
recommended for uncontrolled use
by the public. This acid is extremely
poisonous ( 1 gram of solid acid being
a fatal dose for h\lmans).
The Department of Public Health
advise that a 5% solution is safe if
normal precautions are observed
but it is felt that there are more
suitable alternatives. Hydrochloric
Acid will achieve the same result
as Oxalic Acid. This acid is corrosive
but not toxic.

ORGANIC FALLOUT
Organic fallout may result from
parking cars under trees or from
the air under certain atmospheric
conditions.

Acrylic Enamel. Refinish damaged panels. (Color coat and


primer.)

INTERIOR PAINT REPAIRS


The proper matching of colors
can be obtained if the following
procedures are carefuly adhered to:
1. Clean the surface to be painted
with wax and silicone remover.
2. Feather-edge the damaged area
with 400 grit wet or dry sandpaper.
(Prime all areas of bare metal with
M-6J-12S Primer.)
3. Mix the paint per instructions
on the can and spray several light
coats.
Allow the paint to become tacky
between coats.
4. Spray the entire area sparingly
with B7 A-645-S Lacquer Leveler
which will blend the repaired area
with existing painted surfaces.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

FLOOR PAN PLUGS


AND GROMMETS
The floor-pan plugs seal the various access holes. If any plugs are
missing or improperly installed, a
dust or water leak may result. This
also applies to the grommets used
on the dash panel. When dust or
water leaks are evident, these plugs
and grommets should be checked
for proper installation.
DRAIN HOLES
Drain holes or valves located on
the underside of each rocker panel,
quarter panel. and door should be
cleared periodically.
BODY MAINTENANCE
Regular body maintenance preserves the car's appearance and reduces the cost of maintenance during the life of the car. The following steps are suggested as a guide
tor regular body mamtenance:
1. Vacuum the interior thoroughly and wash the car.
2. Check all openings for water
leaks, and seal where necessary.
3. Cement all loose weatherstrips
which are still usable.
4. Replace all door and deck lid
weatherstrips which are unfit for
service.
5. Apply silicone lubricant to the
weatherstripping.
6. Replace all cracked, fogged,

or chipped glass.
7. Align the hood, doors, and
deck lid if necessary.
8. Inspect the windshield wiper
blades and replace them if necessary.
9. Tighten the sill plate and garnish moulding screws.
10. Clean the seats, door trim
panels, and head lining.
11. Touch up or paint chipped
or scratched areas.
12. Drain holes located on the
underside of each rocker panel,
quarter panel, and door, should be
cleared periodically.

RATTLE ELIMINATION
Most rattles are caused by a loose
bolt or screw. Foreign objects such
as outs, bolts, or small pieces of
body d'!adener in the door wells,
pillars and quarter panels are often
the source of rattles. Door wells can
be checked by carefully striking the
underside of the door with a rubber
mallet. The impact made by the
mallet will indicate if loose objects
are in the door well.
In the event that tightening the
bolts and sccews, located on such
assemblies as the doors, hood, and
deck lid does not eliminate the rattles, the trouble is probably caused
by misalignment. If this is the case,
follow the adjustment and alignment
procedures for these assemblies.

Rattles and squeaks are sometimes


caused by weatherstripping and antisqueak material that has slipped out
of position. Apply additional cement
or other adhesive, and install the
material in the proper location to
eliminate this difficulty.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
The outside finish should be frequently washed. Never wipe the
painted surface with a dry cloth.
Dusting the finish when it is dry
tends to rub the dust and dirt into
the baked enamel, and leaves a
sandpaper effect on the surface. To
keep the finish bright and attractive
and eliminate the necessity of using
polish, wash the car whenever it has
accumulated a moderate amount of
dirt and road salt.

The bright metal parts of the car


require no special care. Periodic
cleaning will preserve the beauty
and life of these finishes. Wash
with clear water or if the parts
are very dirty use Autolite car
wash. Using a clean soft cloth or
a sponge and water, rinse and wipe
the parts dry. Do not scour aluminium or chrome finished parts
with steel wool or polish them with
products containing abrasives. A

REMOVAL OF SURFACE STAINS


FROM VINYL TRIM MATERIALS

Many warranty claims are received


at Head Office Service for replacemertt of stained body trim.
From examination of displaced
trims returned from the field, it has
been found that in many cases the
stains have been further aggravated
by using incorrect removal agents
and therefore staining the trims to a
greater degree than the original stain.
The following procedures basically
detail the removal agents for stained
vinyl trims and should be used prior
to replacement being contemplated.
Ballpoint Pen Inks:

First mix parts of fresh Calcium


Chloride* and Fuller's Earth {both
available at your local chemist). Now
add a few drops of methylated
spirits and mix with a knife into a
fairly thick paste. Add more methylated spirits as necessary.
Next, apply the paste with a knife
along the ink stains. Wait for it to
dry, then remove it with a damp
cloth. Finally wash the affected area
over with a wet cloth and dry with a
clean cloth. Should the stain still
remain, repeat the cleaning procedure.
If the removal of the stain leaves
the surface dull, wipe it over with
cotton wool moistened with glycerine.
Do not use furniture or floor polishes.

* Special Note:
Use only calcium chloride. Chloride
of lime is too drastic as a cleaning
agent and can permanently damage
the fabric.
Lipsticks, Shoe Polishes, Fatty &
Greasy Stains:

With a dry rag, remove as much of


the stain as possible. Take care not
to spread the staining substance over

17-9

floor covering. Vinyl and woven plastic trim that is dusty can usually be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not
use cleaning materials containing
kerosene, naptha, toluol, xylol 10,

lacquer thinners, cellulose acetate,


butyl cellosolve, carbon tetrachloride, body polish, battery acid, antifreeze, gasoline, motor oils or other
type lubricants.

the surface. Now gently wipe the


affected area with a cotton cloth
moistened with methylated spirits or
mineral turps. To complete the cleaning process, wash over with warm,
soapy water.

hot water, then allow it to dry


thoroughly. Now wipe over with a
clean cloth moistened with methylated spirits. In this case, do not use
warm, soapy water, as this sets the
stain.

Battery Acid:

Ice Cream:

Battery acid is a severe corrosive


agent. It may destroy the surface
of your fabric or permanently stain
it. If you have household ammonia
handy, apply it at once to the acid.
This will neutralise it. Now wash
over with warm, soapy water. Always
dilute the acid quickly. If ammonia
is not readily available, use a normal
household detergent. These usually
contain a neutralising agent.

Try using warm, soapy water at


first. If this is not successful, wash
the affected area repeatedly with
very hot soapy water, then rinse with
cold water. Now wipe over with a
clean cloth moistened with methylated spirits, followed by warm, soapy
water. Ice cream is a very difficult
stain to remove if left to harden, so
quick action is important here.

Blood:

A tar stain is one of the most


stubborn stains, virtually impossible
to remove if left for any length of
time. Quick action with a little
kerosene or mineral turps on a clean
cloth is recommended here.

Cold water will remove blood


stains if used immediately. If marks
persist, use household ammonia, or
a starch paste.
Chocolate:

Remove the excess chocolate with


a spoon and wipe over with a cloth
moistened with methylated spirits,
then wash with warm soapy water.
Toffee:

Scrape the stained surface with the


edge of a spoon and wash with very
hot water. Then wipe over with a
cloth moistened with methylated
spirits. Then wash with warm soapy
water.
Chewing Gum:

Set the gum with an ice cube,


then scrape with the edge of a spoon .
Wipe over with methylated spirits
(as above) and finish with warm,
soapy water.
Liquor & Fruit Stains:

Wash the stained area with very

Tar:

Paint:

While the paint is still wet, or


just set, apply mineral turps with a
clean cloth. Now wash over with
warm, soapy water. Again, immediate
action is essential, as dry paint cannot
be removed without damaging the
surface of the fabric.
IMPORTANT:
You should never use abrasive
cleaners or cleaners containing solvents (other than those mentioned
above). Neither should you use steel
or copper wool. These can permanently damage the surface of your
fabric and spoil its appearance.
Such cleaners as "dissol", "Plastic
Devil" and "Vyno" are very effective
if used strictly in accordance with
the instructions provided with them.

HOISTING VEHICLE

The unitized body-frame construction requires special precautions and


procedures when the car is jacked
up or hoisted. In some cases, special hoist adapters must be used as
recommended by specific hoist
manufacturers.
Refer to the Owner's Manuals
when using the jack supplied with
the car.
DRIVE-ON TYPE HOIST
To prevent possible damages to
the underbody, do not drive the
car onto the drive-on type hoist
without first checking for possible
interference between the upright
flanges of the hoist rails and the
underbody. Should there be interference, the hoist flanges should be
modified as necessary and/ or the
approach ramps built up to provide
the needed clearance.

REAR

To prevent damage to the shock


absorbers, the rear forks must contact the axle at points as near as
practicable to the differential housing. Carefully raise the rear post
and check the position of the fork

FLOOR JACK
When a stationary floor jack or a
roll jack is to be used, there are
several specific recommended points
of contact. Either side of the car
may be raised at the front by jack
contact at the lower arm strut connection. Either side of the front
end of the car may also be raised
by jack pressure on the front crossmember, or on the crossmember
to which the stabilizer is co!'loected.

Instructions for Repair and
Adjustment of Sun Roof.
1. Adjustment of panel alignment:
(a) Front, left and right: Release
lining frame at the front and
push back. Loosen the fixing
screws for the slide at the front
end. Adjust the milled nuts and
re-tighten the fixing screws.
(b) Rear, left and right: Loosen the
bolt on the closing mechanism.
The bolt can be moved to the
desired position in the slot in
the closing mechanism by turning the adjusting screw to the
left or right. Re-tighten the nuts
on the bolt.
2. Panel rises on one side only:
Examine the ramp in the drainage
channel in the frame to see whether
it is properly aligned with the lifting
element at the rear end of the panel.
To do this, slide the panel back
completely. The point where the
lifting element makes contact with
the ramp can be clearly seen on the
rearward slope of the ramp. Adjust
the ramp and if necessary, the lifting
element on the panel, so that working
point of the lifting element lies at the
middle point of the ramp.

shorter than the original). Reinstall


parts and panel, adjust the cable
so that the forward edge of the panel
is parallel with the forward edge of
the roof aperture. If necessary
adjust as indicated in paragraph 3.

5. The joints of the cable


slides are out of alignment
(guide rail, corner and connector
rails and cable box) and are
jamming the cable drive: Loosen
the screws holding the guide rails,
corner and connector rails and cable
box a few turns. Retighten the
screws one by one, continually
activating the drive mechanism.
Where necessary realign those points
where resistance is felt.
Checking for alignment of the ramp
and lifting elements (see paragraph 2).
If one cable needs replacing,
replace both to assure a parallel
travel of the roof panel.

4. Damaged drive cable includes


remove and replace panel and push
back lining.
Remove the lining frame, unscrew
front slides, remove closing mechanism from the skid at the rear,
lift out the outer roof panel.
Remove the cover of the drive
mechanism box, spring plate over
drive pinion, connector rails and
upper parts of the corner rails. Pull
out the cable with the rear slide from
the guide rail. Install a new cable,
lubricated with grease of molybdenum disulphate. (Replacement
cables may be longer but never

LUBRICATION

During cable replacement, lubricate the cables with petroleum jelly


or vaseline. It is not necessary to
lubricate the top surface of the
guide rail covers or the slide tracks.
Periodically, clean off any residue
that may accumulate on the guide
rail covers.
DRAIN TUBES

During regular maintenance check


to ensure the drainage holes at the
front corners of the roof panel frame
are open and free of foreign material.
If the drains are plugged , they may
be cleaned with an air hose (low
pressure) or with a flexible wire.
If the drain tubes can not be
cleaned in this manner, they must be
replaced.
When cleaning with an air hose,
use low pressure so as not to damage
or detach the plastic tubes.

of sealer on the body flange can
be used as a base for the new application of sealer.
IMPORTANT: If any doubt exists as to whether the old sealer
is of the same type as the new
sealer, then remove all of the old
sealer and prime the pinchweld

DUAL ACTION TAILGATES
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Dual action tailgates are available
with manual or power rear window
operation. The Dual action tailgate
can be opened in the normal manner
(same as single action) or it can be
swung from left to right.
The right side hinges are designed
to accommodate both vertical and
horizontal opening.
To open the gate vertically , wind
the window down, lift the lock-bar
and lower the tailgate.
To open the tailgate horizontally,
lower the window, turn the outside
handle and swing the tailgate to the
right.
If the tailgate has been opened
horizontally, and vertical opening is
desired, the tailgate must be closed
before vertical release is possible and
vice-versa.

ADJUSTMENTS
While full adjustments are pro-

vided for the dual action tailgate, no


unique methods are employed. The
following information will assist in
locating and performing tailgate adjustments to obtain the clearances
shown in Fig. 17.
The fore and aft and up and down
adjustment of the tailgate is accomplished at the hinge side by means of
square holes in the body pillar, backed
by floating tapping plates, at the
upper and lower hinge attachments
(Figs. 16 - 17).
Lateral adjustment of the tailgate
is accomplished at the upper hinge by
adding or removing spacer shims between the hinge on the body and the
pillar. Lateral adjustment at the lower
hinge is accomplished by means of
oversize holes in the tailgate at the
hinge on the gate attachment (Figs.

16- 17).
Fore and aft and up and down adjustment of the strikers is accomplished by means of square holes in

the pillar backed by floating tapping


plates. Lateral adjustment is accomplished by adding or removing shims
(Fig. 5).

POWER WINDOWS

DESCRIPTION
Each door window is controlled
by a separate switch set into the door
trim panel. The rear and front
passenger windows can also be con-

trolled from the master switch panel


in the driver's door.
Included in the master switch
panel is a "lock out" switch which
prevents operation of the rear and
front passenger windows by the

individual door switches.


Wiring schematics for power win
dows are in Group 22, Fig. 2 of
this manual.
Wiring and switch installation is
as shown in Fig. 20 21 of this part.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DOOR AND QUARTER


POWER WINDOWS

Before making any of the following


trouble checks, mare sure that the
battery is fully charged, and turn
the ignition switch to the accessory
position.
ALL WINDOWS DO NOT
OPERATE
1. Connect a voltmeter or test
light from a ground to the power
window relay red/blue wire which is
connected to the 20-ampere circuit
breaker attached to the battery terminal of the starting motor relay.
If no voltage is available, repair or
replace the 20-ampere circuit breaker
or the connecting black wire.
2. Connect a voltmeter from a
ground to the red wire terminal of
the power window relay. If no voltage
is available, repair or replace the
ignition switch or the red wire from
the ignition switch to the relay.
3. Connect a voltmeter from a
ground to the remaining terminal
blue wire of the power window relay. If no voltage is available,
replace the power window relay.
4. Check the blue wire at the
master control switch for voltage. If
no voltage is available, repair or
replace the blue wire from
the master control switch to the
power window relay.
5. At this point the trouble caus-

ing all windows not to operate should


have been found and corrected. The
chances of having all of the control
switches, ground circuit breakers,
switch to motor wires, or motor
defective at the same time are very
remote.
ONE WINDOW DOES NOT
OPERATE
1. Activate the switch and listen
for the motor running free. If tb,e
motor runs and the window does not
move, the rubber coupling or gear
teeth have failed.
2. If the motor does not run, disconnect the wires at the motor in
order to check for voltage at each
feed wire while actuating the window
switch at the door or from the master
switch. If there is no voltage at the
motor feed terminals, check for voltage at the switch feed wire. If there
is voltage at the switch, replace the
switch.
WINDOW OPERATES IN
ONE DIRECTION ONLY
1. Check the operation with the
individual and master switches. Replace a defective switch if the window
operates normally from one and not
from the other.
2. If the window will not function
correctly from either switch, check
for defective wiring between the

switch disconnects and the motor.


If the wiring leads are open, replace
the wiring.
3. If the window operates normally in one direction, the motor is
not defective.
WINDOW OPERATES
SLUGGISHLY
1. Check the regulator and window runs for binding. Adjust the
runs, repair and lubricate the regulator. Lubricate the runs with silicone
lubricant.
2. Check for frayed insulation
where the window wires may partially
ground. Check for loose connections
which will cause high resistance, and
make sure that paint is not insulating
the ground wires.
3. Check motor current draw during operation (place an ammeter in
series with the ground lead of the
battery). Motor current draw should
not exceed 12 amperes during normal
operation and should exceed 20
amperes at stall. If the current draw
is above 12 amperes during operation
of the window, readjust the glass
mechanism. If the stall current is
below 20 amperes at stall, look for
poor electrical connections.
4. Motor current draw when disconnected from the regulator plate
should not exceed 5 amperes.

Reliable opera t ion of all Ford


vehicles depends t o a great extent
on t he use of lubrican ts and service component s which meet Ford
Specifications. It is possible that
the use of lubricants or service
products which do not meet these
specifications may cause damage to
important operating mechanisms.
Conditions under which vehicles are
driven vary greatly co nsidering the extremes of temperature, urban and rural
traffic, paved and unpaved roads and dry
areas where dust is prevalent.
Operating conditions are considered
" norm al" unless:-

1. More than 50% of the operation is stop and go as in city


traffic.

2. The average trip is less than


10 miles.

3. The operation of the vehicle


includes long periods of idling such

4. The temperature for periods
of two months at a time regularly
range below 45F.
5. Dust conditions
are more severe than
typical suburban area

6. The vehicle is used for consistent high speed or competition


driving.
Where the conditions are more
severe than normal, i.e., one or

Lift the rotor off the cam.
Refer to applicable section of the
Shop Manual for distributor point
specifications.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION


1. Examine the firing ends of the
spark plugs, noting the type of deposits and the degree of electrode
erosion. Refer to Fig. 6 for the
various types of spark plug conditions and causes.
2. Clean the plugs on a sand blast
cleaner, following the manufacturer's
instructions. Do not prolong the
use of the abrasive blast as it
will erode the insulator. Remove
carbon and other deposits from the
threads with a stiff wire brush. Any
deposits will retard the heat flow from
the plug to the cylinder head causing
spark plug overheating and preignition.
3. Clean the electrode surfaces
with a small file (Fig. 7). Dress
the electrodes to secure flat
parallel surfaces on both the
centre and side electrode.
4. Mter cleaning, examine the plug
carefully for cracked or broken insulators, badly pitted electrodes, and
other signs of failure. Replace as
required.

INSPECTION
Replace the distributor point assembly if the contacts are badly
burned or excessive metal transfer
between the points is evident. Metal
transfer is considered excessive when
it equals or exceeds the gap setting.

ADJUSTMENT

INSTALLATION

Set the spark plug gap by bending


the ground electrode (Fig. 8).
Never bend the centre electrode.
TESTING
After the proper gap is obtained,
check the plugs on a testing machine.
Compare the sparking efficiency of
the cleaned and gapped plug with a
new plug. Replace the plug if it fails
to pass the test as outlined in the
tester instruction manual.
Test the plugs for compression
leakage at the insulator seal. Apply a
coating of oil to the shoulder of the
plug where the insulator projects
through the shell, and to the top of
the plug, where the centre electrode
and terminal project from the insulator. Place the spark plug under pressure with the tester's high tension
wire removed from the spark plug.
Leakage is indicated by air bubbling
through the oil. If the test indicates
compression leakage, replace the
plug. If the plug is satisfactory, wipe
it clean.

BREAKER POINT
ALIGNMENT 351C
The vented-type breaker points
used in Ford distributors must be accurately aligned in order to realize the
full advantages provided by this design, and to assure normal breaker
point life. Any misalignment of the
breaker point surfaces will cause premature wear, overheating and pitting.
1. Turn the distributor cam so that
the breaker points are closed and
check the alignment of the points
(Fig. 10).
2. Align the breaker points to make
full face contact by bending the
stationary breaker point bracket
(Figs. 11 and 12). Do not bend the
breaker arm.

20-7

Use a dwell meter to check the


contact dwell. It is not advisable to
use a feeler gauge to check the gap of
used breaker points because the
roughness of the points makes an
accurate gap reading or setting impossible.
If the used points are serviceable,
set the gap using a dwell meter as
follows:
1. Connect the dwell meter following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Operate the engine at specified
idle speed and note the reading on
the dwell meter.
3. Stop the engine and adjust the
gap (decreasing the gap increases the
dwell). Now check the dwell again.
4. Repeat this .procedure until
specified dwell is obtained.
If new points are installed, set the
gap to specifications using a feeler
gauge. Check setting with dwell
meter.
If the distributor is equipped with
dual breaker points, adjust the dwell
of each set separately in order to get
the specified combined dwell. The
most precise method is to disconnect
one set of points while adjusting the
other, since spring tension on the cam
is then equal. Alternately, a piece of
plastic can be inserted between the
contacts of one set to take it out of
the circuit. As an example: where a
33 degree combined dwell is specified,
the points are set separately at 25-25
1/ 2 degree to secure the specified 33
degree dwell.

CLEANING FILTERING ELEMENT


The cellulose fibre filter element must never be cleaned
with a solvent or cleaning solution. Also, oil must not be added
to the surfaces of the filter element or air cleaner body.
There are two procedures that can
be used to clean the air filter element.
One method is performed with the
use of compressed air. The other is
performed by tapping the element on
a smooth horizontal surface.
Compressed Air Method. Direct
a stream of compressed air through
the element in the directioh opposite
that of the intake air flow, that is
from the inside outward. Extreme
care must be exercised to prevent rupture of the element
material.
Tapping Method. Hold the element in a vertical position and tap
it lightly against a smooth, horizontal
surface to shake the dust and dirt out.
Do not deform the element or
damage the gasket surfaces by
tapping too hard. Rotate the filter
after each tap until the entire outer
surface has been cleaned.
Inspection. Hold the filter in
front of a back-up light and carefully
inspect it for any splits or cracks. If
the filter is split or cracked, replace it.

IDLE SPEED AND FUEL MIXTURE


All XA/ZF Falcon/Fairlane

carburettors are equipped with idle


fuel mixture adjusting limiters. The
limiters control the maximum idle
richness and help prevent unauthorized persons from making overly rich
idle adjustments.
The plastic idle limiter cap is installed on the head of the idle fuel
mixture adjusting screw(s) (Figs. 13
and 14). Any adjustment made on carburettors having this type of limiter
must be within the range- of the idle
adjusting limiter. Under no circumstances are the idle adjusting
limiters or the limiter stops on
the carburettor to be mutilated
or deformed to render the limiters inoperative. On the Motorcraft
21 00-D 2-V carburettor, the power
valve cover must be installed with the

Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the level is low, add enough
fluid to raise the level to the bottom
of the filler neck. Do not overfill
the reservoir.

CLEANING BODY AND COVER

CHECK BATTERY FLUID LEVEL

Clean the air cleaner body and the


cover with a solvent or compressed
air. If the air cleaner contains an
opening for the crankcase ventilation
system air flow, probe the opening to
assure removal of deposits. Wipe the
air cleaner dry if a solvent is used.
Inspect the air cleaner body and
cover for distortion or damage at the
gasket mating surfaces. Replace the
cover or body if they are damaged
beyond repair.

The battery is mounted under the


hood at the right front side of the
engine compartment.
Keep the fluid in each battery cell
up to the level of the ring in the
bottom of the filler well. Generally,
tap water may be added unless it
has a high mineral content or has
been stored in a metal container.

A satisfactory idle should be
obtainable within the range of
the idle adjusting limiters, if all
other engine systems are operating within specifications.
Note: The limiter caps fitted to
Stromberg carburettors is free turning on the head of the idle mixture
adjusting screw. THE ONLY IDLE
ADJUSTMENT ALLOWABLE IN
NORMAL SERVICE IS THE
ENGINE IDLE SPEED.
Following are the normal procedures necessary to properly adjust the
engine idle speed and fuel mixture.
The specific operations should be
followed in the sequence given whenever the idle speed or idle fuel
adjustments are made.
In isolated cases, a satisfactory idle
condition may not be achieved by
performing the normal procedures.
If this occurs, refer to Additional Idle
Speed and Fuel Mixture Procedures.

1. The engine and underhood temperatures must be stabilized before


idle adjustments are made. Run the
engine a minimum of 20 minutes at
1,500 rpm. This can be done by
positioning the fast idle screw or cam
follower on the kickdown step of the
fast idle cam (Fig. 18). (Not applicable to Stromberg BV2).
2. Check the initial ignition timing
and the distributor advance. Use an
accurate-reading tachometer and timing light when checking the initial
ignition timing and idle fuel mixture
and speed.
3. On vehicles with a manual-shift
transmission, the idle setting must be
made only when the transmission is
in Neutral.
On vehicles with an automatic
transmission, the idle setting is made
with the transmission selector lever
in the Drive range.

20-9

4. Be sure the choke plate is in the


full-open position.
5. Turn the headlights on high
beam to place the alternator under a
load condition in order to properly
adjust to the specified engine idle
speed.
6. The final idle speed adjustment is made with the air conditioner (if equipped) turned ON.
7. Adjust the engine curb idle rpm
to specifications. The tachometer
reading (rpm) must be taken with the
air cleaner installed.
If it is not possible to adjust the
idle speed with the air cleaner installed, remove it, make the adjustment, then replace the air cleaner and
check again for the specified rpm.
Manual transmission vehicles may
be fitted with a solenoid throttle
positioner. However, this is not connected on these engines and must be
adjusted so as not to affect the engine
idle speed. Idle speed adjustment is
to be made on the normal throttle
stop screw.
8. Turn the idle mixture adjusting
screw(s) inward to obtain the smoothest idle possible within the range of
the idle limiter( s), Motorcraft carburettors only. Turn the idle mixture
adjusting screws inward an equal
amount.

On 2- and 4-venturi carburettors,


turn the idle mixture adjusting
screws inward an equal amount.
Check for idle smoothness only

If satisfactory idle condition is not


obtained after performing the preceding normal idle fuel settings,
additional checks of engine systems
must be performed.
1. The following items should be
checked and, if required, corrected:
a. Vacuum leaks.
b. Ignition system wiring continuity.
c. Spark plugs.
d. Distributor breaker point dwell
angle.
e. Distributor point condition.
f. Initial ignition timing.
In certain instances, it may be possible that the idle condition is not as
good as normally expected.

2. If the idle condition is not improved after the items in Step 1 have
been checked, perform the following
engine mechanical checks:
a. Fuel Level.
b. Crankcase ventilation system.
c. Valve clearance (using the collapsed tappet method for hydraulic valves).
d. Engine compression.
3. Mter verification of all engine
systems has been made, t!lere may be
isolated cases where a satisfactory
idl~ condition has not been obtained,
due possibly to a lean idle fuel mixture, If this condition is encountered,
refer to the specific carburettor section of Group 10 of this manual for
correction procedure.

The fast idle adjusting screw (Fig.


18) contacts one edge of the fast idle
cam. The cam permits a faster engine
idle speed for smoother running when
the engine is cold during choke operation. As the choke plate is moved
through its range of travel from the
closed to the open position, the fast
idle cam pick-up lever rotates the
fast idle cam. Each position on the

Raise all four wheels. Remove one


of the front brake drums, and inspect
the drum and the linings (the wheel
bearings should be inspected at this
time and repacked if necessary). Do
not let oil or grease touch the
drum or the linings. If the linings
are worn to within "3~ inch of the
rivet heads on rivetted linings or shoe
on bonded linings, replace or reline
both sets (primary and secondary) on
the front or rear wheels. Under no circumstances replace one lining
only, or one wheel set. Both front
wheel sets or both rear wheel
sets should be replaced whenever
a respective lining or shoe is
worn or damaged. If the drum
braking surface is excessively scored,
refinish it. The condition of the remaining front linings is usually about
the same as that of the one inspected.
The rear brake linings may also need
replacing at the same time.
FRONT WHEEL DISC BRAKES

Raise all four wheels. Remove one


of the front wheel and tyre assemblies, and inspect the disc caliper,
and linings (the wheel bearings
should be inspected at this time and

6. Check the action of the shock


absorbers. If the shock absorbers are
not in good condition, the car may
not settle in a normal, level position,
and front wheel alignment may be
affected.
Wheel Inspection. Wheel hub
nuts should be inspected and tightened to specification at pre-delivery.
Loose wheel hub nuts may cause
shimmy and vibration. Elongated
stud holes in the wheels may also
result from loose hub nuts.
Keep the wheels and hubs clean.
Stones wedged between the wheel
and drum and lumps of mud or
grease can unbalance a wheel and
tyre.
Check for damage that would
affect the runout of the wheels. Wobble or shimmy caused by a damaged
wheel will eventually damage the
wheel bearings. Inspect the wheel
rims for dents that could permit air
to leak from the tyres.
Check all the factors of front wheel
alignment except the turning angle
before making any adjustments. The
turning angle should be checked only
after caster, camber, and toe-in have

20-20

been adjusted to specifications.


Equipment Installation. Equipment used for front wheel alignment
inspection must be accurate. If portable equipment is being used, perform all inspection operations on a
level floor.
Alignment height spacers (Figs. 44
and 45) are used to check caster and
camber except on GT. The spacers
should be omitted when checking
toe-in.
1. Drive the car in a straight line
far enough to establish the straightahead position of the front wheels,
and then mark the steering wheel hub
and the steering column collar (Fig.

position. Run the engine so that
the power steering control valve
will be in the centre (neutral)
position if so equipped. Measure
the distance between the extreme
front and also between the extreme
rear of both front wheels. The differrenee between these two distances is
the toe-in. Specifications are in
Part 3-7.

Front Wheel Turning Angle.


When the inside wheel is turned 20,
the turning angle of the outside
wheel should be as specified in Part
3-7. The turning angle cannot be
adjusted directly because it is a result
of the combination of caster, camber,
and toe-in adjustments and should
therefore, be measured only after
these adjustments have been made.
If the turning angle does not measure
to specifications, check the spindle or
other suspension parts for a bent
condition.
Mter front wheel alignment factors
have been checked, make the necessary adjustments. Do not attempt
to adjust front wheel alignment
by bending the suspension or
steering parts.
CASTER AND CAMBER
ADJUSTMENTS
Caster is controlled by the front
suspension strut (Fig. 46). To obtain
negative caster, loosen the strut front
nut and tighten the strut rear nut
against the bushing. To obtain positive caster, loosen the strut rear nut
and tighten the strut front nut
against the bushing.
Camber. Camber is controlled by
the eccentric cam located at the lower
arm attachment to the side rail (Fig.
46). To adjust the camber, loosen the
eccentric bolt nut and rotate the bolt
and eccentric clockwise from the high
position to increase camber or counterclockwise to decrease camber.
Mter the caster and camber have
been adjusted to specification, torque
the lower arm eccentric bolt nut and
the s_trut front nut to specification.
TOE-IN AND STEERING WHEEL
SPOKE POSITION ADJUSTMENTS
Check the steering wheel spoke
position when the front wheels are
in the straight-ahead position. If the
spokes are not in their normal position, they can be properly adjusted
while toe-in is being adjusted.
1. Loosen the two clamp bolts on
each spindle connecting rod sleeve
(Fig. 47).

2. Adjust toe-in. If the steering


wheel spokes are in their normal
position, lengthen or shorten both
rods equally to obtain correct toe-in
(Fig. 49). If the steering wheel
spokes are not in their nortmll position, make the necessary rod adjustments to obtain correct toe-in and
steering wheel spoke alignment.
3. Recheck toe-in and the steering
wheel spoke position. If toe-in is
correct and the steering wheel spokes
are still not in their normal position,
turn both connecting rod sleeves
upward or downward the same
number of turns to move the steering
wheel spokes (Fig. 50).
