To determine the proper thickness of the No. 4 thrust plate, select the thinnest No. 4 thrust plate (Fig.221). Using petrolatum to hold thrust plate in position, install input clutch assembly.

Fig.222 View Through Turbine Speed Sensor Hole:

Be sure the input clutch assembly is completely seated. This can be verified by looking into the turbine speed sensor hole (Fig.222).

CAUTION: If view through input speed sensor hole is not as shown (Fig.222), the input clutch assembly is not seated properly.

Remove the oil pump O-ring. You will be able to install and remove the oil pump and gasket very easily to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

CAUTION: Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

Fig.224 Measure Input Shaft End Play:

Fig.224 Measure Input Shaft End Play

NOTE: Input shaft end play must be 0.005 - 0.025 inch.

For example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select No. 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 - 0.074 inch thickness. This should provide an input shaft end play reading of 0.020 inch which is within specifications.
