  1. Shift the transmission into any gear.
  2. Attach DT-48636  to the output flange. See Special Tools .
  3. Hold DT-48636  in order to prevent the output flange from rotating. See Special Tools . Install and tighten the output flange nut. Tighten until the looseness is minimum.

  7. Remove DT-48636  from the output flange. See Special Tools .
  8. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
  9. Rotate the output flange several times in order to break in the gears, synchronizers and bearings.
  10. Measure the rotational torque/drag torque of the output flange by using a suitable tool. Record this initial rotational torque measurement as value A.

  12. Attach DT-48636  to the output flange. See Special Tools .
  13. Shift the transmission into any gear.
  14. Tighten the nut.

    Tighten:  Tighten the nut 220-565 N.m (162-417 lb ft).

  15. Remove the DT-48636  from the output flange. See Special Tools .
  16. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
  17. Rotate the output flange several times in order to seat the bearings.
  18. Measure the rotational torque/drag torque of the output flange by using a suitable tool. Record this measurement as value B.
  19. Subtract value A from value B. Verify that the resulting measurement is within the specified range.

    Specification:  The rotational torque specification is .45-1.35 N.m (4-12 lb in).

  20. Repeat the previous steps until you have confirmed that the rotational torque specification is reached then stake the nut in place. If the rotational torque requirement has been exceeded, replace the spacer (191) and repeat steps 2-16.
