Input Shaft End Play Measurement

Before disassembling the transmission, measure the end play of the input shaft. This will aid in the assembly process when selecting a select shim.

1. Place the transmission on a suitable clean work surface.
2. Remove the torque converter.
3. Use tools (special tool #8266B, End Play Socket Set) and (special tool #C-3339A, Set, Dial Indicator) attached to the input shaft, to measure the input shaft end play.
