American Motors/AM General postal van

Expert: Kevin Pilotte - 1/2/2007


Question
I have a 1974 AM General postal van with a 232 AMC engine and a Borg-Warner 12 automatic transmission. I have rebuilt the transmission but I am looking for a diagram that shows how the check balls are supposed to go back in the valvebody.

Answer
Robert,
The only information I have is for a 232 with a Chrysler Torque-Flight trans.
I thought they stopped using the Borg Warner unit in 1970.
I dont' know where to tell you to get the information you seek. Perhaps a transmission shop that has been around awhile.
Sorry.
