stalled first. These shims have lubrication slots
which are necessary for proper bearing lubri-
cation.
(b) Shims thinner than 12.65 mm listed in the
chart are common to both the transfer shaft and
output shaft bearings.
(5) Use Tool L-4424 to remove the retaining nut and
washer. To remove the output shaft gear use Tool
L-4407.
(6) Remove the two gauging shims and install the
proper shim combination, making sure to install the
12.65, 13.15, or 13.65 mm shim first. Use grease to hold
the shims in place. Install the output shaft gear and
bearing assembly.
(7) Install the retaining nut and washer and torque
to 271 N
Im (200 ft. lbs.).
(8) Using an inch-pound torque wrench, check the
turning torque. The torque should be between 3
and 8 inch-pounds.
If the turning torque is too high, install a .05mm
(.002 inch) thicker shim. If the turning torque is too
low, install a .05 mm (.002 inch) thinner shim. Repeat
until the proper turning torque is 3 to 8 inch pounds.
DIFFERENTIAL BEARING
(1) Remove the bearing cup from the differential
bearing retainer using Tool L-4518, and remove the
existing shim from under the cup.
(2) Install a .50 mm (.020 inch) gauging shim and
reinstall the bearing cup into the retainer. Use an
arbor press to install the cup.
Oil Baffle is not required when making shim
selection.
(3) Install the bearing retainer into the case and
torque bolts to 28 N
Im (250 in. lbs.).
(4) Position the transaxle assembly vertically on the
support stand and install Tool L-4436 into the exten-
sion.
(5) Rotate the differential at least one full revolution
to ensure the tapered roller bearings are fully seated.
(6) Attach a dial indicator to the case and zero the
dial indicator. Place the indicator tip on the end of Tool
L-4436.
(7) Place a large screwdriver to each side of the ring
gear and lift. Check the dial indicator for the amount of
end play.
CAUTION: Do not damage the transaxle case and/or
differential cover sealing surface.
(8) When the end play has been determined, refer to
the Differential Bearing Shim Chart for the correct
shim combination to obtain the proper bearing setting.
(9) Remove the differential bearing retainer. Re-
move the bearing cup and the .50 mm (.020 inch)
gauging shim.
(10) Install the proper shim combination under the
bearing cup. Make sure the oil baffle is installed
properly in the bearing retainer, below the bearing
shim and cup.
(11) Install the differential bearing retainer. Seal
the retainer to the housing with MOPAR
t Adhesive
Sealant and torque bolts to 28 N
Im (250 in. lbs.).
(12) Using special Tool L-4436 and an inch-pound
torque wrench, check the turning torque of the differ-
ential. The turning torque should be between 5
and 18 inch-pounds.
If the turning torque is too high, install a .05
mm (.002 inch) thinner shim. If the turning
torque is too low, install a .05 mm (.002 inch)
thicker shim. Repeat until 5 to 18 inch-pounds
turning torque is obtained.
TRANSFER SHAFT BEARING
(1) Use Tool L-4434 to remove the retaining nut and
washer. Remove the transfer shaft gear using Tool
L-4407.
(2) Install a 2.29 mm (.090 inch) and a 1.39 mm (.055
inch) gauging shims on the transfer shaft behind the
governor support.
