TRANSMISSION - M40D/TOD - NEW MAIN BEARINGS

LIGHT TRUCK 1985 ECONOLINE, F SERIES, BRONCO

As of approximately November 19, 1984 production, top shift overdrive (TOD) and manual 4-speed overdrive transmissions (M40D) will incorporate slip fit maindrive bearings in place of current press fit maindrive bearings. These bearings are used on both the input and output shafts.

The use of the slip fit bearings will make assembly and disassembly easier, eliminating the use of special tools for bearing removal and installation. In the past with the press fit main bearings if removal for any reason was necessary, the bearings were discarded and replaced with new ones due to the removal procedure. With the new slip fit bearings the only ones that will be replaced during assembly and disassembly are those that are found to be defective.

The new bearings are manufactured by Koyo Seiko and are identified by an "SH" marking in the inner race. Also to identify this change, the model identification suffix will be advanced on the transmission service I.D. tag (such as RTS-AB will be RTS-AB1, etc.).
