Determine the transmission end play travel in order to determine the correct 1-3-5-6-7 clutch thrust bearing washer.
1. Ensure the foot of the GE-8001 Dial Indicator Set (1) is flat with the DT-50903 Clutch Travel Load Gauge (2) face.
2. Apply 50 psi of pressure to DT-50903 Clutch Travel Load Gauge (2), and zero out the GE-8001 Dial Indicator Set (1).
3. Using a torque wrench (3), tighten the forcing screw on GE-8433-1 Puller Bar (4) to 10 N.m (90 lb in).
4. Observe the GE-8001 Dial Indicator Set (1) measurement. Refer to 1-3-5-6-7 Clutch Thrust Bearing Washer Specifications to determine the correct 1-3-5-6-7 clutch thrust bearing washer.
