If the transmission output shaft with vibration damper is being replaced, it is possible the transmission output shaft -A- may be delivered separated from the vibration damper -B-.

Only in this case, the vibration damper must be pressed onto the transmission output shaft with splines.

CAUTION:

Danger of damaging the components.

Do not remove the vibration damper from the transmission output shaft with splines and cannot be used again. Using the vibration damper again does not assure that the transmission output shaft is attached securely. The vibration damper will come loose off the transmission output shaft and damage the transmission and other components.
