Mounts

Install needle bearings with the lettering on the
bearing (the side with thicker metal) facing the
drift.
Insert bearing with transmission oil or ATF,
depending on installation location.
Tapered roller bearings for output shaft and
differential in rear final drive are low-friction
bearings. Do not grease new tapered roller
bearings additionally for friction torque
measurement. The bearings are already
greased with a special oil from the factory for
this reason.
Do not interchange inner and outer bearing
races with those from other bearings of the
same size.
Tapered roller bearings are allocated to the
date of transmission manufacture and code
letters in the parts catalog.
Always replace tapered roller bearings on one
shaft together and use new bearings from the
same manufacturer.
