Default Re: 200-4R Rebuild ... step by step!

It allows adjustment to properly position the output shaft so that it cannot move while you are trying to assemble.

Before you assemble the parts into the rear of the trans, you need to check rear endplay on the bench. Completely assemble all parts as shown below. Once it is assembled you can check the rear endplay using a feeler gauge, adjust endplay by changing the selective washer, and then assemble into the case.

Begin assembly by positioning the output shaft vertically. An old yoke can be put in a vise or welded to a bench to make this easier.



The install the output ring gear if not pressed onto the shaft as most are.


Next install the rear torrington bearing. This is easy to forget.





Next install the 4 tang thrust washer on the back of the rear planetary carrier. Retain with petroleum jelly or trans assembly lube.
