IMPORTANT: Thrust bearing (2) located between
the two output assemblies is pressed into the
clutch pack and is not removable.

bearing (B) for wear. Inspect the bearings, contact
surfaces and splines of the output clutch for signs of
wear or damage. Visually inspect the clutch plate

material is worn, the assembly should be replaced.
IMPORTANT: Excessive debris in the oil and/or
noise coming from
deceleration are key indicators of clutch pack
failure. Replace clutch as an assembly if found to
