Jatco transmission Diagrams

[Zanzer]

Does anyone have a diagram or an electronic version of the manual for Jatco automatics used in Festivas??

I'm gunna guess that Jim (FB71) has access to what you need

I hope so. I think I made a major boo boo. I was wiping off the large output shaft and it slid out. Now it doesn't want to go back in all the way. I'm hoping it didn't drop a gear or thrust washer. I had this happen on a Ford C6 once and it was a total PITA to get back in


This is as far as it will go now.

Nevermind. A friend of mine has access to AllData and got me a printout of the diagrams

i did the same thing, on the trans end of the shaft theres a circlip. take the small input shaft out, and tap the bigger one in all the way with a wood block. then reinstall the smallest input shaft ive ever seen ever

LOL! My thoughts exactly..it IS tiny :mrgreen:


Thanks man! I'll give that a try! :thumbright:

ive been a mechanic for most of my whole adult working career. and i have seen multitudes of different trans input shafts in "my day." when i pulled the motor out of the festiva, and pulled the torque converter, i seriously laughed hard.

i pulled the shaft out by accident, and figured if it didnt go back in i would just go thru the trans, when i took it out there was a clip on the end, like that of a cv axle shaft. so i just knocked it back in.

And to think that they have been known to hold bpt power...
