Front End Play Check

- Tools Required
- J 8001-3 Dial Indicator
- J 8520 Cam Lobe Lift Indicator - Dial Indicator Adapter Set
- J 28585 Snap Ring Remover

IMPORTANT: If the end play procedures are not closely followed, you may select an incorrect shim thickness. This could result in severe damage to the internal transmission components.





1. Assemble J 8520 by attaching the threaded rod and the dial indicator holder to one of the bolt holes on the transmission case.
2. Assemble J 8001-3 and mount the tool onto the holder. Index the tool to the end of the turbine shaft (502).
3. Eliminate any slack by pressing down on the turbine shaft (502).
4. With the J 28585, apply upward pressure on the output carrier (661).
5. Set the J 8001-3 to 0.
6. Pull up on the turbine shaft (502) while holding the output carrier (661) up with J 28585. Proper end play is 0.102 - 0.559 mm (0.004 - 0.022 inch).
7. Remove the tools from the transmission.
8. Correct the end play by changing the overrun housing selective thrust washer (218).
9. If the front end play measurement is incorrect, refer to the Overrun Clutch Housing Selective Thrust Washer Specifications table in the End Play Specifications under Specifications/Mechanical. Choose a new selective thrust washer based on the original selective washer and the information contained in the table.
