Muncie Four Speed Transmission Makeover Part 2 - Pontiac Tech

Carson installs the rear bearing retainer, but not before he taps a new rear bearing in place using a 1 5/8-inch diameter pipe. He spreads the front snap ring, sliding it over the rear of the mainshaft and fully seating it against First gear. Carson then chooses from the assortment of available rear-bearing retainer snap rings, the one that reduces clearance between the snap ring and rear bearing face to a maximum of 0.005 inch. This limits mainshaft endplay when under load, much like an engine's thrust bearing. View Related Article
