Final Drive Assembly

Disassembly





1. Remove No. 16 final drive gear thrust bearing and race from final drive assembly.





2. Remove park gear from final drive sun gear.





3. Remove final drive sun gear and deflector assembly from final drive assembly.





4. IF NECESSARY, remove speedometer drive gear (except SHO).





5. IF NECESSARY, use a drift to drive out differential pinion shaft roll pin.





6. Use a drift to tap out the differential pinion shaft.





7. Rotate the output shaft to remove two differential pinion gears and two differential pinion thrust washers.





8. Remove RH differential side gear and differential side gear thrust washer from differential case.





9. Push output shaft towards center of differential housing. Slide LH differential side gear upward to gain access to retaining ring. Use snap ring pliers to remove retaining ring. Remove output shaft.





10. Remove differential side gear and differential side gear thrust washer.

Assembly





1. Inspect differential pinion and side gears for looseness, discoloration, cracks or excessive gear tooth wear. Inspect four final drive planet gears, two pinion shaft bores and pinion shaft for looseness, discoloration, cracks, excessive gear tooth wear or rotational binding. Service as required.





2. If removed, install two differential side gear thrust washers, differential side gears, output shaft and retaining ring. Walk differential pinion gears and differential side gear thrust washers into position by rotating output shaft.





3. Tap differential pinion shaft through differential case, differential side gear thrust washers and differential side gears using a soft mallet. Make sure to align retaining pin hole in differential pinion shaft with hole in differential case.





4. Install new pinion shaft roll pin using a drift. Install pin so it is flush with differential housing.





5. If removed, install speedometer drive gear (except SHO).





6. Install new retaining circle clip on output shaft.





7. Install final drive sun gear.





8. Install park gear.





9. NOTE: Needle bearing must face up. Install No. 16 thrust bearing.





10. Install low intermediate clutch piston and rear planet support with No. 16 race, final drive gear thrust (select fit) onto final drive assembly for reassembly into transaxle.
