towels.
All of the mating surfaces in the transmission
are accurately machined; therefore, careful handling
of parts must be exercised to avoid nicks or burrs.
Drive Train End Play
Measure the drive train end play before removal of
the output shaft universal joint flange. This will usu-
ally indicate when a change in the thrust washer is
required to properly adjust end play during assembly
(except when major parts are replaced).
The thrust
washer is located between the reaction shaft support
and the front clutch retainer on the A-727-A and
B
transmissions. The thrust washer is located between
the input and output shafts on the A-904-G and
A-
904-LA transmissions.
(1) Attach a dial indicator to the transmission bell
housing with its plunger seated against the end of the
input shaft (Fig. 65).
Chuck
the input shaft in and
out to obtain end play reading. End play specifica-
tions are: .023 to .089 for the A-904-G and A-904-LA
transmissions, and .036 to .084 inch for the A-727-A
and B transmissions.
(2) Record the indicator reading for reference
when reassembling the transmission. Refer to Page
104.

easier disassembly and assembly as the transmission
can be rotated as desired.
