4-28 ADJUSTMENT OF TORQUE BALL
AND PACKING
Correct adjustment
of
the torqu
e
ball and
proper installation of oute r
retainer
packing
(1948
Models)
is very
important.
If
torque
ball is
loose
and has end
play
it will
be
noisy
and will act a
s
a pump to
cause leakage
of
transmission lubricant.
If
torqu
e ball
is too
tight, it will
ca
use
transmission
misalignment,
scoring of ball and r
etainers,
and may cause
breakage
of bolts which
attached torque
ball to
torque
tube.
An
improperly
fitted
outer
re-
tainer packing on 194
8
Mod
els
will permit
leak-
age
of transmission lubricant.
