INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
This adapter will enable you to replace the expensive and hard-to-find Jeep TH400 case with the popular Chevy & GM
transmissions, or adapt the TH350 & 700R to the AMC engine. This adapter kit is not compatible with the Buick, Oldsmobile
or Pontiac TH400 transmission cases. All studs, bolts, washers, converter adapter, adapter plate and converter bolts are
furnished in this kit. The kit does not include a flexplate. Please read the following instructions prior to starting the job. If
there is anything in question, please feel free to contact our sales department at Advance Adapters, (1-800-350-2223).
CAUTION:
It is best to first install the adapter plate onto the back of the engine and inspect the clearance between the
flexplate and steel adapter ring. Due to variations by the flexplate manufacturers, we have encountered
some variations that will require minor clearances on the new steel adapter ring. The adapter plate should
also be test fitted to the AMC engine, and the tunnel/firewall clearance should be checked and modified as
necessary.
1. Remove the original transmission, transfer case & dust cover plate.
Clean the rear of the engine block from all grease and dirt.
2. Remove the transmission dowel pins from the back of the AMC engine block.
3. Remove the old pilot bushing from the engine crank. This can be performed
by using a 7/16" bolt and working it back and forth inside the pilot bushing.
4. Your stock AMC dust cover plate and the Advance Adapters adapter plate should be installed
to the back of the AMC block using the two dowel aligning bolts.
5. Insert the 2 special washers and dowel bolts where the original AMC dowel pins were removed.
Torque to 30ft/lbs with Loctite. These 2 bolts act as new dowel pins for aligning the adapter
plate to the AMC block.
6. Insert the 3 allen head cap screws into
the engine.
DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY
BOLTS UNTIL ALL 3 BOLTS HAVE
BEEN STARTED AND SNUGGED
UP.
Torque to 30 ft./lbs.
