(8) Using Adapter 8266-1 from End-Play Tool Set 8266 and Dial Indicator C-3339, measure and record the input shaft end-play (Fig. 55).

NOTE: When measuring the input shaft end-play, two "stops" will be felt. When the input shaft is pushed inward and the dial indicator zeroed, the first "stop" felt when the input shaft is pulled outward is the movement of the input shaft in the input clutch housing hub. This value should not be included in the end-play measured value and there- fore must be recorded and subtracted from the dial indicator reading.

NOTE: Before final assembly of transmission centerline, the 2C/4C clutch components should be installed into position and measured/adjusted as follows:

(10) Install the 2C reaction plate into the transmission case (Fig. 63). The reaction plate is selective and directional. The plate must be installed with the flat side toward the front.
(11) Install the 2C clutch pack into the transmission case (Fig. 63).
(12) Install the flat 2C clutch snap-ring into the transmission case (Fig. 63).
(13) Install the 4C retainer/bulkhead into the transmission case. Make sure that the oil feed holes are pointing toward the valve body area.
(14) Install the 4C retainer/bulkhead tapered snap-ring into the transmission case. Make sure that the open ends of the snap-ring are located in the case opening toward the valve body area.
(15) Using a feeler gauge through the opening in the rear of the transmission case, measure the 2C clutch pack clearance between the 2C reaction plate and the transmission case at four different points. The average of these measurements is the 2C clutch pack clearance. Adjust the clearance as necessary. The correct clutch clearance is 0.533 - 1.27 mm (0.021 - 0.050 inch). The reaction plate is selective. Install the chosen reaction plate and re-measure the clutch clearance to verify the selection.
(16) Remove the 4C retainer/bulkhead and all of the 2C clutch components from the transmission case.

Fig. 80:





(37) Using Alignment Plate 8261, Adapter 8266-17 from End-Play Tool Set 8266, and Dial Indicator C-3339, measure and record the output shaft endplay (Fig. 80). The correct output shaft end-play is 0.53 - 0.78 mm (0.021 - 0.031 inch). Adjust as necessary. Install the chosen output shaft selective spacer and re-measure end-play to verify selection.

Fig. 83:





(45) Using Adapter 8266-1 from End-Play Tool Set 8266 and Dial Indicator C-3339, measure and record the input shaft end-play (Fig. 83). The correct endplay is 0.79 - 1.07 mm (0.031 - 0.042 inch). Adjust as necessary. Install the chosen spacer on the number 5 bearing and re-measure end-play to verify selection.

NOTE: When measuring the input shaft end-play, two "stops" will be felt. When the input shaft is pushed inward and the dial indicator zeroed, the first "stop" felt when the input shaft is pulled outward is the movement of the input shaft in the input clutch housing hub. This value should not be included in the end-play measured value and therefore must be recorded and subtracted from the dial indicator reading.
