PLANETARY GEARSETS AND CHAIN DRIVE PARTS REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

Installation

1. Inspect the low/intermediate sun gear component for damage.

• Gear teeth

• Thrust bearing surfaces

• Journal surface

2. Inspect the low/intermediate carrier component.

• Pinion gear teeth

• Spline teeth

• Pinion gear surfaces

• Bushing surfaces

• Pinion gear bearings

3. Use a feeler gauge to measure the low/intermediate carrier component end play.

• If end play is out of specification, install a new low/intermediate carrier component.

4. Inspect the low/intermediate ring gear.

• Gear teeth

• Spline teeth

• Thrust bearing surfaces

• Journal surface

• Lug teeth

5. Inspect the reverse/overdrive sun gear and shell component for damage or wear.

• Gear teeth

• Lug teeth

• Thrust bearing surfaces

• Bushing surface

6. Inspect the reverse/overdrive carrier component.

• Pinion gear teeth

• Clutch plate spline teeth

• Pinion gear bearings

• Thrust bearing surfaces

• Bushing surfaces

• No.8 thrust bearing captured between the pinions and carrier

7. Use feeler gauge to measure the reverse/overdrive carrier component end play.

• If end play is out of specification, install a new low/intermediate carrier component.

8. Inspect the reverse/overdrive ring gear.

• Gear teeth

• Spline teeth

• Drive sprocket teeth

• Thrust bearing surfaces

• Journal surface

• Bearing

9. Inspect the driven sprocket component.

• Gear teeth

• Parking gear lug teeth

• Driven sprocket teeth

• Thrust bearing surfaces

• Bearing surfaces

• Rivet

• Bushing surfaces

• Lubrication holes

10. Inspect the drive chain.

(1) Inspect the drive chain for wear, stretching, or tightness of the chain links.

(2) The chain must move freely.

(3) The chain gap must be within 3.175 mm {0.125 in}.

• If there is any malfunction, replace the drive chain.
