NOTE:
  • If the transmission housing, the torque converter housing, the differential carrier, the carrier bearing and the outer race, or the thrust shim were replaced, the bearing preload must be adjusted.
  • Coat all parts with ATF during installation.
  • Do not use the thrust shim on the torque converter housing.
  1. Remove the bearing outer race (A), the 76.2 mm thrust washer (B), and the 76 mm thrust shim (C) from the transmission housing (D) by heating the transmission housing to about 100 °C (212 °F) using a heat gun (E). Do not heat the transmission housing more than 100 °C (212 °F).
    NOTE: Let the transmission housing cool to room temperature before adjusting the bearing preload.
