Description/Tool Number
Driver Handle, 15 x 135L 07749-0010000
Bearing Driver Attachment, 62 x 64 mm 07947-6340400
Preload Inspection Tool 07HAJ-PK40201
Bearing Driver Attachment, 78 x 80 mm 07NAD-PX40100
NOTE:
If the transmission was disassembled, the final drive shaft tapered roller bearing preload must be adjusted.
The final drive shaft tapered roller bearing preload must be inspected and adjusted with the differential assembly. The final drive shaft tapered roller bearing preload value needs the differential carrier tapered roller bearing preload measurements. Incorrect measurements may be indicated if the differential carrier tapered roller bearing preload inspection has not been completed.
Apply a light coat of clean transmission fluid on all parts before installation.
Install the oil guide plate (A) and the 80 mm thrust shim (B).
2.
Install the final drive shaft tapered roller bearing outer race (C) using the 15 x 135L driver handle and the 78 x 80 mm bearing driver attachment so there is no clearance between the bearing outer race, the 80 mm thrust shim, the oil guide plate, and the torque converter housing.
Install the final drive shaft tapered roller bearing outer race (A) until it bottoms using the 15 x 135L driver handle and the 62 x 64 mm bearing driver attachment.
4.
Torque Converter Housing - Install
1.
Install the differential assembly (A).
2.
Install the final drive shaft assembly (B).
3.
Install the torque converter housing (C) with the dowel pins (D) and a new gasket (E), and tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern in at least two steps.
5.
Final Drive Shaft Tapered Roller Bearing Preload - Inspect
1.
Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the bearings using the preload inspection tool.
2.
Measure the starting torque using the preload inspection tool, a torque wrench (A), and a socket (B).
NOTE: Measure the starting torque at normal room temperature in both directions.
