LIST OF WARNINGS
This manual contains the following warnings -
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM.
 If you leave the vehicle and the engine is running, the vehicle can move
suddenly and you or others could be injured. If you must leave the engine
running, do not leave the vehicle until you: Put the transmission in
N (Neutral)...and - Apply the parking brake and emergency brakes and
make sure they are properly engaged...and - Chock the wheels and take any
other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from moving.
 Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the sump when draining transmission fluid.
Direct contact with the hot fluid or the hot sump may result in bodily injury.
 While conducting a stall check, the vehicle must be positively prevented from
moving. Apply the parking brake and service brake, and chock the wheels
securely. Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its travel path.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
 Use appropriate safety equipment such as safety glasses, safety shoes, and
gloves.
 Do not burn discarded Teflon® seals; toxic gases are produced by burning
Teflon®.
 Never dry bearings by spinning them with compressed air. A spinning bearing
can disintegrate, allowing halls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles.
Also, spinning a bearing without lubrication can damage the bearing.
 Transmission dry weights are as follows: MD/B 300/B 400 - 245 kg (535 lb),
MDR/B 300R/B 400R - 275 kg (610 lb), MDP/B 300P/B 400P - 260 kg
(575 lb), MDPR/B 300PR/B 400PR - 300 kg (655 lb), MD 3070PT - 530
kg
(1170 lb). Use proper tools and lifting equipment when installing or removing a
transmission from the repair stand.
 The transfer case module assembly weighs approximately 270 kg (595 lb).
 The control module assembly weighs approximately 25 kg (56 lb). Handle
carefully to avoid personnel injury or control module damage. The control
module assembly used in an MD 3070PT weighs approximately 29 kg (65 lb).
 The retarder module assembly weighs approximately 64 kg (141 lb). Use care
to prevent injury to personnel while handling the retarder module assembly.
 Piston springs are highly compressed. Be extremely careful during removal
and installation. Personal injury can occur if the spring force is not controlled.
 Transmissions installed in overhaul stands must be positioned vertically
before installing control module. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury.

assembly. Even minute particles can cause close-
fit parts, such as valves, to malfunction.
b. Cleaning Parts
1. Clean all metallic transmission parts, except
bearings and friction-faced clutch plates, by
steam-cleaning or with volatile mineral
spirits. Do not use caustic soda solution for
steam- cleaning. Clean friction-faced clutch
plates and bearings with mineral spirits only.
2. Dry all parts, except bearing assemblies,

with compressed air. To prevent rust,
lubricate steam-cleaned parts as soon as
they are dry.
3. Clean fluid passages by working a piece of

soft wire through the passages and flushing
them with mineral spirits. Dry the passages
with compressed air.
4. Examine parts, especially fluid passages,
after cleaning to make certain they are
entirely clean. Re-clean parts if necessary.
c. Cleaning Bearings
1. Bearings that have been in service should be
thoroughly cleaned in volatile mineral
spirits.
2. Soak particularly dirty bearings or ones

filled with hardened grease in mineral spirits
before trying to clean them.
3. Before inspection, lubricate the bearings

with transmission fluid.
d. Keeping Bearings Clean. Ball or roller bearing
failures are usually caused by dirt or grit in the
bearing. Keep bearings clean during removal and
installation. Observe the following rules to ensure
maximum bearing life:
 Do not unwrap new bearings until they
Corp.
GENERAL OVERHAUL
Do not remove the grease in which new
INFORMATION
bearings are packed until they are to be in-
stalled.
Do not lay bearings on a dirty bench. Place
bearings on clean, lint-free paper.
If a bearing is not installed immediately,
wrap or cover the lubricated bearing with
clean paper or lint-free cloth to keep out
dust.
e. Inspecting Bearings
1. Inspect bearings for rough rotation. Replace a
bearing if its rotation is still rough after clean-
ing and lubrication.
2. Inspect bearings for scored, pitted, scratched,
cracked, or chipped races, and for excessive
roller or ball wear. Replace the bearing if any
defects are found.
3. Inspect a defective bearing’s bore and mating
shaft for grooved, burred, or galled conditions
that indicate the bearing has been turning in the
bore or on the shaft. If the damage cannot be
repaired with crocus cloth, replace the defec-
tive part.
4. When removing a bearing, do not apply pres-
sure across the balls. This can cause brinelling
and bearing failure.
5. If a bearing must be removed or installed with-
out the proper tool, press only on the race
which is adjacent to the mounting surface. If a
press is not available, carefully seat the bearing
with a drift and hammer.
f. Inspecting Cast Parts
and Machined Surfaces
1. Inspect bores for wear, scratches, grooves, and
dirt. Remove scratches and burrs with crocus
cloth. Clean the part. Replace parts that are
deeply scratched or grooved.
2. Inspect all fluid passages for obstructions. If an
obstruction is found, remove it with com-
pressed air, or by working a soft wire back and
forth through the passage and flushing it out
with mineral spirits.
3. Inspect mounting faces for nicks, burrs,
scratches, and foreign matter. Remove any de-
fects with crocus cloth or a soft stone. Clean

the part. If scratches are deep, replace the de- scores with crocus cloth. Remove burrs and
fective part. sharp edges with a scraper or knife blade.

4. Inspect threaded openings for damaged
threads. Clean damaged threads with the
correct size tap.
As of this printing, the following parts have

Spiralock threaded holes:

bolt holes and lockup clutch backplate
bolt holes (starting with S/N
6510024410).
 Output shaft with single-bolt flange
retention - starting with S/N
6510184819.
5. Inspect the ribs inside the main housing for

reaction plate wear grooves in the side of the
ribs. Replace housings that have wear
splines beyond wear limits. (Refer to Wear
Limits, Table 7-1 in Section 7.)
6. Replace housings or other cast parts that are

cracked.
7. Inspect all machined surfaces for damage

that could cause fluid leakage or other
malfunction. Rework or replace defective
parts.
8. Inspect the oil tracks of the control module

and main housing for porosity, broken lands,
cracks, dirt, and land surface imperfections.
These imperfections will cause severe fluid
leakage leading to transmission failure.
g. Inspecting Bushings and Thrust Washers
1. Inspect bushings for scores, burrs, sharp

edges, and evidence of overheating. Remove
Corp.
reinstalling, carefully check bushings for
signs of distress.
2. Replace bushings that are out-of-round,

deeply scored, or excessively worn. Inspect
parts mated to bushings to ensure they are
not damaged or worn beyond use.
3. Inspect thrust washers for distortion, scores,
burrs, and wear. Replace a thrust washer if
defective or worn.
h. Inspecting Sealrings and Gaskets
1. Inspect piston sealrings and lip-type seals for
nicks, cuts, tears, splits, and pattern damage.
A damaged seal can indicate rough or sharp
edges in piston grooves or on a mating
surface that could damage a new seal.
2. Replace all composition gaskets.

3. Inspect hook-type sealrings for wear, broken
hooks, and distortion.
4. Install a new hook-type sealring if the old
ring shows any wear on its outside diameter,
or if there is excessive side wear.
5. Measure sealring end gap by inserting the
sealring into its respective sealing bore.
Use a feeler gauge to measure end gap.
Discard sealrings having excessive end gap.
(Refer to Wear Limits, Section 7.)
6. Inspect clutch housing sealing surfaces for
nicks, burrs, dents, or displaced metal that
could interfere with mating parts or damage
the piston seal. Remove raised metal, sharp
edges, burrs, or nicks with a soft stone and
crocus cloth. Thoroughly clean all residue
from the housing before assembly.
7. Inspect piston sealring grooves for nicks, burrs,
dents, or displaced metal that could damage
the seal. Remove raised metal, sharp edges,
burrs, or nicks with a soft stone and crocus
cloth. Thoroughly clean all residue from the
piston before assembly.

i. Inspecting Gears The retaining ring must snap tightly into its groove
to function properly.
1. Inspect gears for scuffed, nicked, burred, or
broken teeth. If a defect cannot be removed
with a soft stone, replace the gear.
2. Inspect gear teeth for wear that has changed

the original tooth shape. If this condition is
found, replace the gear.
3. Inspect the thrust face of gears for scores,
scratches, and burrs. Remove such defects with
a soft stone. If scratches and scores cannot
be removed with a soft stone, replace the
gear.
4. Inspect gears for load pattern and signs of
distress. Any sign of distress indicates that
a gear failure during operation is possible.
Reusing distressed gears is an individual
customer decision based on experience.
Backlash cannot be used to establish critical
gear wear. Backlash tolerances are of such
nature that a gear usually pits, scuffs, scores,
or galls long before gear wear becomes
critical.
j. Inspecting Splined Parts

1. Inspect splined parts for stripped, twisted,
chipped, or burred splines. Remove burrs
with a soft stone. Replace the part if other
defects are found. Spline wear is not
considered harm- ful except where it affects
the fit of the splined parts.
2. Spline wear is determined by comparing

feeler gauge thickness with the thickness of
the worn area on the spline. Replace parts
having excessive spline wear. (Refer to
Wear Limits, Section 7.)
3. Backlash cannot be used to establish critical
spline wear. Accurate backlash
measurement requires the mating parts to be
concentrically located.
k. Inspecting Threaded Parts. Inspect threaded
parts for burred or damaged threads. Remove burrs
with a soft stone or fine file. Replace damaged
parts.
l. Inspecting Retaining Rings. Inspect all retaining
rings for nicks, distortion, or excessive wear.
Replace the retaining ring if any defects are found.
GENERAL
m. Inspecting Springs. Inspect springs for OVERHAUL

overheating, permanent set, or wear due to rubbing Figure 3-4. Method of Measuring Clutch Plate Cone
adjacent parts. Replace the spring if any one of
these defects are found. (Refer to Spring Data,
Table 7-2 in Section 7.)
n. Inspecting Clutch Plates (Figure 3-4)
1. Inspect friction-faced clutch plates
(internal- splined plates) for burrs, embedded
metal particles, severely pitted faces, loose
faces, excessive wear, cone, cracks,
distortion, shallow oil groove depth, or
damaged spline teeth. Re- move burrs using
a soft honing stone. Replace plates which
have any defects.
2. Inspect steel plates (external-tanged plates)

for burrs, scoring, excessive wear, excessive
cone, distortion, imbedded metal, galling,
cracks, breaks, or damaged tangs. Remove
burrs and minor surface irregularities using a
soft stone. Replace plates which have any
defects.
3. The amount of clutch plate cone is
determined by measuring the distance
between the inside diameter of the plate and
a level surface (Fig- ure 3-4). Discard plates
having excessive cone. (Refer to Wear
Limits, Section 7).
4. Determine oil groove depth with a depth
micrometer or by measuring the smooth
surface (total) thickness of the plate,
measuring the thickness of the steel part of
the plate at the oil groove, and subtracting
this measurement from the total thickness.
Replace plates not having the minimum oil
groove depth. (Refer to Wear Limits,
Section 7).
o. Inspecting Swaged and Interference-Fit Parts.
If there is evidence of looseness, the assembly
should be replaced.

free movement. Inspect the staking that retains the
balls. Any restriction could prevent the ball from
seat- ing during retarder application.
q. Inspecting Sealing Surfaces
1. Inspect surfaces in contact with hook-type,

scarf-cut, and butt-joint sealrings for step-
wear, nicks, scratches, and scoring. Use a
soft stone or crocus cloth to remove only the
raised metal portion of these defects.
Polishing the area to remove a defect is
neither necessary nor desirable. If the defects
are too severe to correct, replace the
defective part.
2. Inspect surfaces in contact with spring-

loaded, lip-type seals for nicks, scratches,
roughness, or other surface irregularities.
Inspect for embedded particles, step-wear,
and dirt on flanges or other components
exposed to external contamination. Remove
the defects and restore the finish. Replace the
part if scores or scratches permit fluid
leakage.
3-6. ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
a. Parts Lubrication. During final assembly,

lubricate all moving parts with transmission fluid.
The fluid will help protect friction surfaces and
ferrous metals until the unit is in service.
b. Grease Used for Assembly. During assembly

use oil-soluble grease with a low melting point
(petrolatum) to temporarily retain parts, butt-joint
sealrings, scarf-cut sealrings, and hook-type
sealrings.
c. Sealing Compounds and Nonsoluble Greases.

Do not use gasket-type sealing compounds, fibrous
greases, or nonsoluble vegetable-base cooking com-
pounds inside the transmission or where they could
be flushed into the transmission hydraulic system.
d. Clutches and Pistons
1. Soak each friction-faced clutch plate (two-

2. Apply a generous amount of transmission
fluid to the piston cavity before final
assembly.
3. Assemble clutch plates so that the cone of

each plate faces the same direction.
e. Threaded Plugs and Hydraulic Fittings
Tighten all pipe plugs to the specified torque in the

assembly procedure and on the exploded views.
Tighten other fittings sufficiently to prevent
leakage.
f. Lip-Type Seals
1. When replacing lip-type seals, make sure
the spring-loaded lip is toward the fluid to
be sealed (toward the inside of the unit).
Coat the inside of the seal with high
temperature grease (MIL-G-3545A or
equivalent) to protect the seal during shaft
installation and to provide lubrication
during initial operation.
2. The circumference of some seals is

precoated with a dry sealant. The sealant is
usually colored for easy identification,
Precoated seals do not require any additional
sealant before installation.
g. Butt-Joint Sealrings
1. Butt-joint sealrings require special

handling during assembly. The sealrings
contain materi- als that absorb moisture
from the atmosphere causing the sealring to
expand. The sealrings are shipped in
airtight packages. Do not open the sealed
package until the butt-joint sealring is ready
to be installed into the transmission.

Check sealring end clearance before installa-
tion to ensure the sealring has not expanded.
2. Remove the sealring from its package and

place it in its operational position inside the
bore that it will be sealing.
3. Using a feeler gauge, check the end

clearance of the sealring. The end clearance
must not be less than specifications allow.
4. If the end clearance is less than minimum specifi-

cations, bake the sealring in an oven at 93-149°C
