Output Gear: Disassembly
- Align bearing-stator support using Guide Pins (T80L-77100-A). Press support into converter housing using Step Plate (D80L-630-6). Remove bearing cup and adjustment shim(s) from bearing housing.
- Insert output gear into converter housing. Place bearing cup over output gear bearing and 4 collars of Shim Selector Set (T87C-77000-J) on converter housing.
- Install Shim Selector Gauge (T88C-77000-C1) on output gear. Turn two halves of gauge to eliminate any gap. Place bearing housing on collars. Install 4 screws using washer. Tighten to 14-19 ft. lbs. (19-26 N.m).
- Install Preload Torque Adapter (T88C-77000-DH) on output gear. Using pins provided in Shim Selector Set (T87C-77000-J), loosen gauge halves until all free play is removed and bearing cup is seated. Thread gauge halves together. Measure drag on output gear bearing using an INCH-pound torque wrench. Read preload when output gear starts to turn. Turn gauge using pins until a reading of 4.3-7.8 INCH lbs. (0.5-0.9 N.m) is obtained.
- Using a feeler gauge, measure gap between 2 halves in 4 spots at 90-degree intervals. See Fig 1
. Use largest measurement. Select no more than 7 shims to maintain clearance. Shims are available in .004-.020" (.10-.50 mm) thicknesses.
