(15) Install the output gear and bearing assembly
using Tool 6261 (Fig. 102).
(16) Install NEW output gear retaining bolt and
washer (Fig. 103). Using Tool 6259, torque output
gear retaining bolt to 271 N´m (200 ft. lbs.) (Fig.
104).(17) Using an inch pound torque wrench (Fig.
105), check output shaft turning torque.Output
shaft turning torque should be within 3-8 in.
lbs.If the turning torque is too high, install a 0.04
mm (0.0016 in.) thicker shim. If the turning torque is
too low, install a 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) thinner shim.
Repeat until the proper turning torque of 3-8 in. lbs.
is obtained.

(32) Install the transfer shaft gear using Tool 6261
(Fig. 119).
CAUTION: Install a NEW retaining nut, as the origi-
nal nut MUST NOT be reused.
(33) Install the new retaining nut and washer.
(34) Using Tool 6259, torque transfer gear retain-
ing nut to 271 N´m (200 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 120).(35) Measure transfer shaft end play.Transfer
shaft end play should be within 0.05-0.10 mm
(0.002-0.004 in.).If the end play is too high, install a
0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) thicker shim. If the end play is
too low, install a 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) thinner shim.
Repeat until 0.05-0.10 mm (0.002-0.004 in.) end play
is obtained.
(36) Install a bead of MopartATF RTV (MS-GF41)
to transfer gear cover (Fig. 121).

(52)DETERMINING #4 THRUST PLATE
THICKNESS / INPUT SHAFT END PLAY:
(a) Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness
and install to input clutch assembly (Fig. 139). Use
petrolatum to retain.
(b) Install input clutch assembly into position
and verify that it is completely seated by viewing
through input speed sensor hole. If view through
input speed sensor hole is not as shown in (Fig.
140), the input clutch assembly is not seated prop-
erly.
(c) Remove oil pump o-ring (Fig. 141).Be sure
to reinstall oil pump o-ring after selecting the
proper #4 thrust plate.
(d) Install pump and gasket to transmission.
Install and torque bolts.(e) Set up input shaft for measurement with
Indicator Set C3339 and End Play Set 8266 as
shown in (Fig. 142).
(f) Measure the input shaft end play with the
transaxle in the vertical position.Input shaft end
play must be within 0.005 to 0.025 inch.For
example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select
No. 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick.
This should provide an input shaft end play read-
ing of 0.020 inch which is within specifications.
(g) Refer to the No. 4 thrust plate chart to select
the proper No. 4 thrust plate:
