Input Shaft End Play Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Overdrive unit must be installed in order to correctly measure the input shaft end-play.
  1. Measure input shaft end play (Fig 1).
    NOTE: If end play is incorrect, transmission is incorrectly assembled, or reaction shaft thrust washer is incorrect. The reaction shaft thrust washer is selective.
    1. Attach Adapter 8266-5 to Handle 8266-8.
    2. Attach dial indicator C-3339 to Handle 8266-8.
    3. Install the assembled tool onto the input shaft of the transmission and tighten the retaining screw on Adapter 8266-5 to secure it to the input shaft.
    4. Position the dial indicator plunger against a flat spot on the oil pump and zero the dial indicator.
    5. Move input shaft in and out and record reading. End play should be 0.86-2.13 mm (0.034-0.084 in.). Adjust as necessary.
