PINION BEARING CUPS

Do
not
remove
the
pinion bearing

cups from
the
carrier casting unless

the cups
are
worn
or
damaged.

If
the
pinion bearing cups
are to be

replaced, drive them
out of the
carrier

casting with
a
drift.
Tap on the
side

opposite
the cup. Use
care
to
prevent

the cups from cocking
in the
carrier.

Install
the new
cups with
the
tool

shown
in Fig. 15.
Make sure
the
cups

are properly seated
in
their bores.
If a

0.0015-inch feeler gauge
can be
insert-

ed between
a cup and the
bottom
of

its bore
at any
point around
the cup,

the
cup is not
properly seated.

Whenever
the
cups
are
replaced,
the

cone
and
roller assemblies should also

be replaced.
DRIVE PINION
AND

GEAR
SET

Individual differences
in
machining

the carrier casting
and the
gear
set re-

quire
a
shim between
the
pinion rear

bearing cone
and the
pinion gear
to

locate
the
pinion
for
correct tooth

contact with
the
ring gear.

When replacing
a
ring gear
and pin-

ion
it
should
be
noted that
the
original

factory installed shim
is of the
correct

thickness
to
adjust
for
individual vari-

ations
in
both
the
carrier casting
di-

mension
and in the
original gear
set

dimension; therefore,
to
select
the cor-

rect shim thickness
for the new
gear

set
to be
installed, follow these steps:

1.
Use a
micrometer
to
measure

the thickness
of the
original shim
re-

moved from
the
axle
and use the
same

thickness upon installation
of the re-

placement carrier assembly
or
drive

pinion.
If
further shim change
is nec-

essary,
it
will
be
indicated
in the
tooth

pattern check.

2.
If the
original shim
is
lost,
sub-

stitute
a
nominal shim
for the
original

and
use the
tooth pattern check
to de-

termine
if
further shim changes
are re-

quired. Nominal shim thicknesses
is

indicated
in
Part
4-3,
Specifications.

A
new
ring gear
and
pinion should

always
be
installed
in an
axle
as a

matched
set
(never separately).
Be

sure
the
same identifying (matching)

number, painted, appears
on the
bolt

hole face
of the
ring gear
and on the

head
of the
drive pinion
(Fig. 16).

3.
After determining
the
correct

shim thickness
as
explained
in the

foregoing steps, install
the new
pinion

and ring gear
as
outlined under
As-

sembly which follows
in
this section.

DIFFERENTIAL CASE,

AND
DRIVEN

GEAR

If
the
ring gear runout check
(be-

fore disassembly) exceeded specifica-

tions,
the
condition
may be
caused
by

a warped gear,
a
defective case,
or ex-

cessively worn differential bearings.

To determine
the
cause
of
excessive

runout, proceed
as
follows:

1.
Press
the
original bearings
on

the one-piece differential case hubs

without
the
ring gear installed.

2.
Place
the
differential bearing

cups
on the
bearing cone
and
roller

and
set the
differential case
in the car-

rier.

3.

stallation

ential Case which follows

tion.

4.

the

nut
until

it just touches

cup
then

tighten
the nut two
notches beyond

the point where
it
first contacts
the

bearing
cup.

taching bolts to the proper torque. If

necessary, replace the gasket.

Check the fluid filler tube connec-

tion at the transmission case or pan.

If leakage is found here, install a new

O-ring or tighten the fitting to the

specified torque.

Check the fluid lines and fittings

between the transmission and the

cooler in the radiator tank for loose-

ness,
wear, or damage. If leakage can-

not be stopped by tightening a fitting,

replace the damaged parts.

Check the engine coolant in the ra-

diator. If transmission fluid is present

in the coolant, the cooler in the radia-

tor is probably leaking.

The cooler can be further checked

for leaks by disconnecting the lines

from the cooler fittings and applying

50-75 psi air pressure to the fittings.

Remove the radiator cap to relieve the

pressure build at the exterior of the oil

cooler tank. If the cooler is leaking

and will not hold this pressure the

cooler must be replaced. Cooler re-

placement is described in the Cooling

System Section of Group 11.

If leakage is found at either the

downshift control lever shaft or the

manual lever shaft, replace either or

both seals.

Inspect the pipe plug on the left

side of the transmission case at the

front. If the plug shows leakage, tor-

que the plug to specifications. If tight-

ening does not stop the leaks, replace

the plug. On a C6 transmission, a TV

pressure plug is also provided on the

right rear side of the case.

When converter drain plugs leak,

remove drain plugs with a six-point

wrench. Coat the threads with FoMo-

Co Perfect Seal Sealing Compound or

its equivalent, and install the plugs.

Torque the drain plugs to specifica-

tion. Fluid leakage from the converter

housing may be caused by engine oil

leaking past the rear main bearing or

from oil gallery plugs, or power steer-

ing oil leakage from steering system.

Be sure to determine the exact cause

of the leak before repair procedures

are started.

Oil-soluble aniline or fluorescent dyes

premixed at the rate of 1/2 teaspoon

of dye powder to 1/2 pint of transmis-

sion fluid have proved helpful in locat-

ing the source of the fluid leakage.

Such dyes may be used to determine

whether an engine oil or transmission

fluid leak is present or if the fluid in

the oil cooler leaks into the engine

coolant system. A black light, how-

ever, must be used with the fluorescent

dye solution.

CONVERTER LEAKAGE

CHECK

If there are indications that the

welds on the torque converter are

leaking, the converter will have to be

removed and the following check

made before the unit is replaced.

A leak checking tool (Fig. 2) can be

made from standard parts. The tool

can be used to check all converters.

1.
Install the plug in the converter

(Fig. 3) and expand it by tightening

the wing nut. Attach the safety chains.

2.
Install the air valve in one of the

drain plug holes.

3.
Introduce air pressure into the

converter. Check the pressure with a

tire gauge and adjust it to 20 psi.

4.
Place the converter in a tank of

water. Observe the weld areas for

bubbles. If no bubbles are observed, it

may be assumed that the welds are

not leaking.

ENGINE IDLE SPEED CHECK

Check and, if necessary, adjust the

engine idle speed, using the procedure

given in Group 10.

If the idle speed is too low, the en-

gine will run roughly. An idle speed

that is too high will cause the vehicle

to creep, have harsh engagements and

harsh closed-throttle downshifts.
ANTI-STALL DASHPOT

CLEARANCE CHECK

After the engine idle speed has been

properly adjusted, check the anti-stall

dashpot clearance. Follow the proce-

dure given in Group 10 for checking

and adjusting this clearance.

MANUAL LINKAGE CHECKS

Correct manual linkage adjustment

is necessary to position the manual

valve for proper fluid pressure direc-

tion to the different transmission com-

ponents. Improperly adjusted manual
