Output Shaft Assemble
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the output shaft (510) for:
- Damaged bushing journals
- Stripped splines
- Snap ring groove damage
- Affix the outboard drive shaft retaining ring (509) and the inboard drive shaft retaining ring (509) onto the output shaft (510).
- Rotate the transmission so that the oil pan flange faces downward.
- Carefully install the output shaft (510) into the transmission. Extend the shaft through the differential side gear.
NOTE:
Do not push to hard during installation of the output shaft (510), or damage to the bushings or bearings may occur.
IMPORTANT:
The output shaft (510) must be installed with the short splines toward the final drive assembly.
