Bearing Housing

Special Tools:

Note: Whenever the transmission is disassembled, the bearing preload must be adjusted. The output gear bearing preload is adjusted by selective shims inserted under the bearing cup. To determine the correct thickness of the shim(s), use the appropriate shim selection set along with the following procedures.





1. Use (A) Valve Body Guide Pins to align the torque converter stator support. Use (B) Step Plate to press the (C) torque converter stator support into the torque converter housing.





2. Install the torque converter stator support bolts.





3. Remove the bearing cup and adjustment shims from the bearing housing.
- Use a pin punch and hammer in the two housing cutouts and tap the bearing cup out.





4. Note: Do not reinstall the shims.

Use (A) Bearing Cup Replacer to press the bearing cup into the (B) bearing housing.
5. Install the output gear and the bearing cup into the converter housing.





6. Place four Collars on the (A) converter housing. Place Shim Selection Gauge on the (B) output gear. Be sure to turn the two halves of the gauge to eliminate any gap between it and the output gear.





7. Place the bearing housing onto the Collars, then install four Collar Bolts with Washers. Tighten the Collar Bolts.





8. Place the (A) Preload Torque Adapter on the output gear.





9. Use the Rods to loosen the Gauge halves until all of the free play is removed and the bearing cup is seated.





10. Note: The gear should be rotated several times before taking preload measurements.

Note: Read the preload when the output gear starts to turn.

Attach a (A) torque wrench to the (B) Preload Torque Adapter. Measure the drag on the output gear bearing.
- Use the Rods to turn the Gauge halves to obtain the specified preload of 0.02 - 0.88 Nm (0.2 - 7.8 inch lbs.).





11. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the two halves of the Shim Selection Gauge. Measure the clearance around the entire circumference. Use the largest measurement.





12. Note: Use no more than seven shims.

Select the (A) shim(s) that is closest to the measured value of the gauge gap.





13. Remove the bolts, washers, bearing housing, gauge, and bearing cup. Use (A) Bearing Cup Replacer to press the selected shim(s) and bearing cup into the (B) bearing housing.





14. Note: If the preload measurement is not within specification, repeat the gauging process. When the proper preload specification has been obtained, remove the bearing housing.

Install the bearing housing and measure the bearing preload.
