Transfer Gear Inner Bearing: Installation

The work area, counter surfaces and tools must be thoroughly cleaned before attempting to assemble the 948TE transmission. All of the sub assemblies should be disassembled, cleaned, and assembled with new sealing components where applicable. The transmission housing should be clean and oil free before beginning this procedure. If the transmission was contaminated with metallic material, all of the thrust bearings and roller bearings should be replaced. The bearing in the output gear support assembly is not serviceable. The output gear support assembly should be replaced if metal debris is present.
