- Inspect the pinion gears for the following conditions:
- Chipped teeth
- Debris embedded in the root of the teeth
- Excessive side movement from worn bushings or shafts
- Inspect the planetary housing for cracks at the web (1) of the housing.
- Inspect the thrust washer surface (2) for scoring or excessive wear.
- Inspect the planetary housing for distortion.
- Inspect the planetary housing to mainshaft splines for excessive wear.
- Replace the planetary differential if any of the above conditions are found.
- Inspect the planetary thrust washers for excessive wear or scoring.
- Replace the thrust washers if they are faulty.
- Clean the front sun gear (110) and the rear sun gear (101) in cleaning solvent and air dry.
- Inspect the teeth on the front sun gear (110) and the rear sun gear (101) for the following conditions:
- Chipped teeth
- Excessively worn gear surfaces
Slight wear marks are normal.
- Debris embedded in the root of the teeth
- Inspect the thrust washer surfaces for excessive wear or scoring.
- Replace the front sun gear (110) and the rear sun gear (101) if they are faulty.
