NOTE: Make sure that the silicone has been cleaned off the machined surface of the transmission case and the torque converter housing before installing the Differential/Transfer Gear Bearing Shim Gauge 307-591/3 (4 spacers) or the preload measurement may be inaccurate.
Special Tool(s): Shim Gauge, Differential/Transfer Gear Bearing 307-591/3 (4 spacers)
- Special Tools(s): Shim Gauge, Differential/Transfer Gear Bearing 307-591/3 (remaining 4 spacers, bolts and washers)
- Special Tools(s): Shim Gauge, Differential/Transfer Gear Bearing 307-591/3 (4 nuts and washers)
- Rotate the transfer shaft and the differential several times to seat the bearing cups.
- Measure and record the smallest and largest preload gap on the Shim Gauge, Differential/Transfer Gear Bearing 307-591/1. Average the 2 measurements to get the thickness of the differential bearing preload shim. For additional information, refer to SPECIFICATIONS for the differential bearing preload shim part number.
General Equipment: Feeler Gauge.
- Measure and record the smallest and largest preload gap on Shim Gauge, Differential/Transfer Gear Bearing 307-591/2. Average the 2 measurements to get the thickness of the transfer shaft bearing preload shim. For additional information, refer to SPECIFICATIONS for the transfer gear bearing preload shim part number.
