Output Shaft Assemble

1. Inspect the output shaft (510) for:
^ Damaged bushing journals
^ Stripped splines
^ Snap ring groove damage





2. Affix the drive axle retainer ring (509) and the output shaft differential inboard snap ring (512) onto the output shaft (510).





3. Rotate the transmission so that the oil pan flange faces downward.
Remove the transmission case extension bolts (5). Remove the case extension assembly (6).

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the differential thrust washer (714) and the thrust bearing (715) are either on the differential carrier assembly or in the case extension.





4. Hold the front differential carrier (700) in place and carefully install the output shaft (510) into the transmission. Extend the shaft through the differential side gear.

IMPORTANT: During installation, do not push too hard, or damage could occur to the bushings or the bearings.





5. Select a thrust washer (714) for the front differential carrier. The choice of washer will be indicated by the final measurement of the drive end play procedure.
6. Affix the thrust washer (714) and the thrust bearing (715) onto the differential carrier (700).
7. Attach the case extension assembly (6) to the case (3) with four bolts (5).
