1. Inspect the output shaft (510) and the bearing (511) for the following:

•	A cracked or deformed bearing cage

•	Damaged bushing journals

•	Stripped splines

•	A damaged retainer ring groove




2. Affix the drive axle retainer ring (509) onto the output shaft (510).
3. Affix the fourth clutch bearing (511) onto the output shaft (510).



4. Rotate the transmission so that the oil pan flange faces up.

Important: Be sure that the differential thrust washer (714) and the thrust bearing (715) are either on the differential carrier assembly or in the case extension.

5. Remove the transmission case extension bolts (5). Remove the case extension assembly (6).




Important: During installation, do not push too hard, or damage could occur to the bushings or the bearings.

6. Hold the front differential carrier (700) in place and carefully install the output shaft (510) into the transmission . Extend the shaft through the differential side gear.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

10. Attach the case extension assembly (6) to the case (3) with four bolts (5).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 36 N·m (27 lb ft).
