Speciﬁcation Numbers

Gear Part #

The steering gear part number is
stenciled on a machined surface
opposite the input shaft of every
TAS gear.

The number cast into the

side of the housing IS NOT the part
number.

Gear Identiﬁer
Letters stenciled after the part
number indicate the following:

A - Q = Step Bore Hsg.

T - Z = High Flow Poppets

R = Reman (TRW)

Date Code

An example date code would be
29097; this means the gear was built
on the 290th day of 1997.

Serial #

Newer gears include a serial number.
