Chrysler New Yorker. Manual - part 305
• Without starting the engine, place the igni-
tion switch in the run position. Move the shifter to
the reverse position. You should not be able to
remove the ignition key from the lock cylinder. If the
key can be removed at this point, re-adjust the inter-
lock and tighten the adjustment nut.
• Place the shifter in the PARK position. Turn the
ignition key to the LOCK position. You should be
able to remove the ignition key from the lock cylin-
der. If not, re-adjust the interlock cable and clip.
(14) Install the bezel on the shifter console.
(15) Install shifter handle.
AUTOSTICK
The autostick switch is serviced as an assembly
with the gearshift mechanism. The switch is not
adjustable. If a problem occurs with the switch, refer
to the Diagnosis and Testing section.
BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Take extreme care when removing and installing
bearing cups and cones. Use only an arbor press
for installation, as a hammer may not properly
align the bearing cup or cone. Burrs or nicks on the
bearing seat will give a false end play reading, while
gauging for proper shims. Improperly seated bearing
cup and cones are subject to low-mileage failure.
Bearing cups and cones should be replaced if they
show signs of pitting or heat distress.
If distress is seen on either the cup or bearing roll-
ers, both cup and cone must be replaced.
NOTE: Bearing end play and drag torque specifica-
tions must be maintained to avoid premature bear-
ing failures.
Used (original) bearing may lose up to 50 percent
of the original drag torque after break-in.
NOTE: All bearing adjustments must be made with
no other component interference or gear inter-
mesh, except the transfer gear bearing.
Oil all bearings before checking turning torque.
MASTER SHIM CHART
Use this chart as a reference guide when selecting
the shims needed for the:
• Transfer Shaft
• Output Shaft
• Output Sprocket
• Pinion
DRIVE SPROCKET HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
A spacer beneath the output sprocket is used to
position the output sprocket in line with the transfer
sprocket. The sprocket must be within 0.015
9 of each
other. In order to do this operation, install original
spacer over the output shaft. If original spacer is not
available, use the thickest available shim as a start-
ing point. Refer to Output Sprocket Spacer Chart for
available sizes. Then install the two sprockets with-
out the chain.
The chain sprockets are not reversible. Check the
height difference using a straight edge (special tool
6311 or equivalent) and a set of feeler gauges.
If the output sprocket is lower than transfer
sprocket, add the amount measured to the shim that
was installed (Fig. 359).
If the output sprocket is higher than transfer
sprocket, subtract the amount measured to the shim
that was installed (Fig. 360).
