Default RE: DIY: Transmission Work NV5600


Once I had those tightened put the transmission horizontal and proceeded to torque the other bolts.

I double checked all the bolts to make sure they were the correct torque, especially the 5 exterior bolts that were tightened before the rest.
After you are done putting the bell housing back on you can stand it back up. I plugged all the holes to make sure that no parts could fall in if I accidentally dropped something.

Now that you have the main case tightened down you need to make sure that the tolerances are correct. I used a dial indicator with a magnetic base to take my measurements.

To make the adjustments you can add or remove shims. I used a used a piece of iron and a hammer to tap against the shafts after I made an adjustment to make sure they were tight against the shims.

I highly recommend replacing the seals before you put it back together. You might be able to get away with running the old seals, but the risk just isn’t worth it. It is at this point that I recommend replacing the seals. The front seal is in the center cover and the rear seal is in the extension housing. A large socket works well to tap against to put them back in.
