WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Special Tools Required 

NOTE:
  • Replace the carrier bearing with a new one whenever the bearing outer race is replaced.
  • Do not use the 85 mm thrust shim on the torque converter housing side.
  • Adjust the preload after replacing the bearing and the outer race.
  • Coat all parts with ATF during installation.
