(3) Remove the mounting bracket bolts securing


the fluid cooler to the brace. (Fig. 4)& (Fig. 5) (4) Remove the fluid cooler from the vehicle.


The recommended fluid for the power steering sys-


tem is Mopart ATF +4.


Mopart ATF+4, when new is red in color. The ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or anti- freeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition, As the vehicle is driven, the ATF+4 will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. THIS IS NORMAL. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.


STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKING


WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS.


CAUTION: MOPART ATF+4 is to be used in the power steering system. No other power steering or automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the system. Damage may result to the power steering pump and system if any other fluid is used, and do not overfill.


Fig.4V6&V8P/SFLUIDCOOLER


1 - POWER STEERING FLUID COOLER 2 - MOUNTING BOLTS


The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. There are two ranges listed on the dipstick, COLD and HOT. Before opening power steering system, wipe the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and check the fluid level on its dipstick. When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F), the fluid level should read between the minimum and maximum area of the cold range. When the fluid is hot, fluid level is allowed to read up to the highest end of the HOT range. Only add fluid when the vehicle is cold.


Use only Mopart ATF+4 Do not overfill the


power steering system.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH DESCRIPTION


A pressure sensing switch is used in the power steering system. It is mounted on the high-pressure steering hose (Fig. 9). This switch will be used with both 3.7L, 4.7L and 5.7L engines. There is no pres- sure switch used for the 5.9L pump.


OPERATION


The switch is used on the 3.7L V-6, 4.7L & 5.7L


V-8 engines.


The power steering pressure switch provides an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This input is provided during periods of high steering pump load and low engine rpm; such as during park- ing maneuvers. The PCM increases the idle speed through the Idle Air Control (IAC) motor. This is done to prevent the engine from stalling under the increased load.


When steering pump pressure exceeds 3275 kPa ± 690 kPa (475 psi ± 100 psi), the Normally Closed (NC) switch will open and the PCM will increase the engine idle speed. This will prevent the engine from stalling.


When pump pressure drops to approximately 1379
kPa (200 psi), the switch circuit will re-close and engine idle speed will return to its previous setting.


REMOVAL - 3.7L, 4.7L & 5.7L


The power steering pressure switch is installed in


the power steering high-pressure hose (Fig. 9).

MANUAL TRANSMISSION - NV3500
DESCRIPTION


The transmission is a medium-duty 5-speed, con- stant mesh fully synchronized manual transmission with fifth gear overdrive range. The transmission is available in two and four-wheel drive configurations. The transmission gear case consists of two aluminum housings (Fig. 1). The clutch housing is an integral part of the transmission front housing.


A combination of roller and ball bearings are used to support the transmission shafts in the two hous- ings. The transmission gears all rotate on caged type needle bearings. A roller bearing is used between the input and output shaft.


The transmission has a single shaft shift mecha- nism with three shift forks all mounted on the shaft. The shaft is supported in the front and rear housings by bushings and one linear ball bearing. Internal shift components consist of the forks, shaft, shift lever socket and detent components


OPERATION


The manual transmission receives power through the clutch assembly from the engine. The clutch disc is


splined to the transmission input shaft and is turned at engine speed at all times that the clutch is engaged. The input shaft is connected to the transmission coun- tershaft through the mesh of fourth speed gear on the input shaft and the fourth countershaft gear. At this point, all the transmission gears are spinning.


The driver selects a particular gear by moving the shift lever to the desired gear position. This move- ment moves the internal transmission shift compo- nents to begin the shift sequence. As the shift lever moves the selected shift rail, the shift fork attached to that rail begins to move. The fork is positioned in a groove in the outer circumference of the synchro- nizer sleeve. As the shift fork moves the synchronizer sleeve, the synchronizer begins to speed-up or slow down the selected gear (depending on whether we are up-shifting or down-shifting). The synchronizer does this by having the synchronizer hub splined to the mainshaft and moving the blocker ring into contact with the gear’s friction cone. As the blocker ring and friction cone come together, the gear speed is brought up or down to the speed of the synchronizer. As the two speeds match, the splines on the inside of the synchronizer sleeve become aligned with the teeth on the blocker ring and the friction cone and eventually will slide over the teeth, locking the gear to the mainshaft, or countershaft, through the synchronizer.

Fig.1NV3500TRANSMISSION


DR MANUAL TRANSMISSION - NV3500 (Continued) DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL


A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or an incor- rect lubricant level check. Leaks can occur at the mating surfaces of the gear case, adaptor or exten- sion housing, or from the front/rear seals. A sus- pected leak could also be the result of an overfill condition.


Leaks at the rear of the extension or adapter hous- ing will be from the housing oil seals. Leaks at com- ponent mating surfaces will probably be the result of inadequate sealer, gaps in the sealer, incorrect bolt tightening or use of a non-recommended sealer.


A leak at the front of the transmission will be from either the front bearing retainer or retainer seal. Lubricant may be seen dripping from the clutch housing after extended operation. If the leak is severe, it may also contaminate the clutch disc caus- ing the disc to slip, grab and or chatter.


A correct lubricant level check can only be made when the vehicle is level. Also allow the lubricant to settle for a minute or so before checking. These rec- ommendations will ensure an accurate check and avoid an underfill or overfill condition. Always check the lubricant level after any addition of fluid to avoid an incorrect lubricant level condition.


HARD SHIFTING


Hard shifting is usually caused by a low lubricant level, improper or contaminated lubricants. The con- sequence of using non-recommended lubricants is noise, excessive wear, internal bind and hard shift- ing. Substantial lubricant leaks can result in gear, shift rail, synchro, and bearing damage. If a leak goes undetected for an extended period, the first indi- cations of component damage are usually hard shift- ing and noise.


Shift component damage or damaged clutch pres- sure plate or disc are additional probable causes of increased shift effort. Worn/damaged pressure plate or disc can cause incorrect release. If clutch problem is advanced, gear clash during shifts can result. Worn or damaged synchro rings can cause gear clash when shifting into any forward gear. In some new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly causing hard or noisy shifts. In most cases this condition will decline as the rings wear-in.


TRANSMISSION NOISE


Most manual transmissions make some noise dur- ing normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild whine that is audible, but generally only at extreme speeds.


MANUAL TRANSMISSION - NV3500


21 - 3


Severe highly audible transmission noise is gener- ally the initial indicator of a lubricant problem. Insufficient, improper or contaminated lubricant will promote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift rails, forks and bearings. The overheating caused by a lubricant problem, can also lead to gear and bearing damage.
