Front Internal Gear to Output Shaft Endplay

Front gear endplay should be checked prior to removing internal parts. If endplay is not within specifications, check for damaged or improperly assembled parts. Check front internal gear to output shaft endplay as follows:

a. Install clamp, plunger extension J-7057 and dial indicator J-8001 or their equivalents.

b. Position plunger extension against output shaft, then zero dial indicator.

c. Turn adjusting screw on output shaft support fixture clamp J-29332, or equivalent, until white scribe line begins to disappear.






d. Read dial indicator. Endplay should be 0.0O4-0.025 inch. Refer to chart for proper washer thickness.
