FRONT UNIT END PLAY CHECK

Fig.s 100 through 103

TOOLS REQUIRED

J 8001 Dial Indicator

J 38694 Pump Seal Installer

NOTE: If end play procedures are not closely adhered to, incorrect shim thickness will be selected resulting in severe damage to internal transmission components.

MEASURE

  1. Install J 8001.
  2. Eliminate slack by pressing down on turbine shaft (502) and with J 28585 up on output carrier. Then pull up with 3 to 5 lbs. of force on turbine shaft to eliminate any clearance between snap ring (522) and overdrive carrier (514).
