Installation Requirements
Transmission Mounting Requirements
Handling
Handle the transmission carefully to avoid damage to the transmission components and surrounding vehicle components.
1.
Use a hoist or transmission jack that permits precise control of transmission movement during installation.
Transmission Preparations
Always remove banding and protective wrapping from the transmission and inspect for shipping damage as soon as possible
upon receiving.
2.
If a thread-in electronic speedometer system is used, tighten sensor or sensor lock nut to 35 lbs-ft. [47 N•m], (3/4-16
threads). If a push-in electronic speedometer system is used, Eaton P/N 14142 (O-ring) and Eaton P/N 71206 (silicon
lubricant) are used to seal the sensor.
3.
To remove, reposition, or replace rear bearing cover, apply Eaton Sealant P/N 71205 or equivalent to threads and tighten
main shaft rear bearing cover capscrews to 35-45 lbs-ft. [47-61 N•m] (3/8-16).
Output Yoke/Flange Installation
Note:
The output yoke/flange is supplied with the transmission. If the output Yoke/flange must be replaced, the following proce-
dure should be followed. (For detailed instructions, refer to the proper transmission model service manual.)
Select the proper output yoke per specified application, remove plastic cover, and inspect the slinger (gold anodized ring) and
seal surface for damage or contamination. Do not use the yoke/flange if the slinger or seal surface is damaged such as dents,
nicks, or scratches.
1.
Prior to installation, remove all contamination such as styrofoam particles, dust, dirt, or rust in the machined surface of
the yoke/flange.
2.
Place the yoke/flange over the transmission output shaft end and rotate it to line up the splines. Take care not to bump
any machined surface of the yoke/flange against the output shaft. Push the yoke all the way onto the output shaft and
onto the seal with one continuous motion.
3.
Thread the tail shaft nut onto the tailshaft until nylon insert is engaged on the tailshaft thread. Secure yoke/flange and
tighten the tailshaft nut to 450-500 lbs-ft. [610-678 N•m].
