Bearing Retainer, Front

Disassembly

1. Using a 12mm socket, remove six attaching bolts from main drive gear bearing retainer (7050).

   

   NOTE: Bolts threaded into service bolt locations will bottom against housing and lift main drive gear bearing retainer away from case.

   NOTE: Do not remove front bearing oil scoop ring at this time.

   

Assembly

1. NOTE: If any related parts (such as output shaft, bearing, etc.) have been replaced, measure dimensions A, B and C as illustrated. After measuring all dimensions, select bearing shim to maintain end play within specified limits.

   Position transmission vertically (input shaft (7017) and flywheel housing facing upward). Make sure that case bushing is squarely positioned in bore. If removed, install oil baffle using Bell Housing Seal Replacer T77J-7025-G.

   

2. Install output shaft bearing (7065) by hand.

   Measuring to Select Shim Thickness

   

   Item	Part Number	Description
   1	7029	Selective Shim (Input Shaft)
   2	7050	Main Drive Gear Bearing Retainer
   3	7005	Case
   4	7025	Bearing
   5	7040	Oil Baffle
   6	—	End Play Area
   7	D82L-4201-C	Depth Micrometer
   8	7065	Output Shaft Bearing
   9	7C434	Selective Shim (Countershaft)
   A	—	Dimension "A"
   B	—	Dimension "B"
   C	—	Dimension "C"

   • Dimension A: Height ofbearing (7025) above mating surface ofmain drive gear bearing retainer.
   • Dimension B: Depth of bore (input shaft).
   • Dimension C: Depth of countershaft front bearing race (transmission case to retainer mating surface).
   • Shim computation equations are as follows:
   • Dimension B - (Dimension A + shim thickness) = 0.05 to 0.15mm (0.002 to 0.006 inch)
   • Dimension C - (shim thickness) = 0.15 to 0.25mm (0.006 to 0.010 inch)

3. Remove any sealant residue remaining on mating surfaces of transmission (7003) andmain drive gear bearing retainer.

4. NOTE: To prevent damage to oil seal lip during assembly, tape the input shaft splines along their entire length.

   NOTE: If necessary, apply a sufficient quantity of grease to shim, main drive gear bearing retainer and oil baffle to retain them in position during assembly.

   Apply a thin coat of oil to oil seal lip. Position bearing shim and oil baffle into main drive gear bearing retainer (install shim with groove showing). Install transmission case countershaft front bearing bore.

5. NOTE: Make sure retaining bolt heads are marked with a "6."

   Apply a 1/8-inch bead of Silicone Rubber D6AZ-19562-BA meeting Ford specification ESE-M4G195-A or equivalent to main drive gear bearing retainer and retaining bolt threads. Install main drive gear bearing retainer to case (7005). Install and tighten front bearing cover retaining bolts to 16-22 Nm (12-16 lb-ft).
