Inspection of a 904 torqueflite
I’ve ruled out the output shaft support, the output shaft itself, and the planets. The thrust washers are all .50 and new. I remember they are the same as the old ones.
Some pictures are small because it won’t let me resize them using Flickr.
-
This is the rear ring gear as pressed up against the seat of the shaft.
-
Front view of rear ring gear
-
Here is the rear planet with the thrust washer that seats up against the rear ring gear
-
Here is the rear planet set with the front thrust washer. When I take the sun shell off. This is usually stuck to it. A butter knife comes in handy to remove it.
-
Back side of sun shell. These large plat plates on the front side and the back are from the old shell.....as is the gear. His gear sits a bit more loose in the shell than the old one did. Even though everything was directly transferred over.
It came with its own sun gear in the mail. I didn’t use that one but that one was somewhat loose on there as well. I think some of the 904 shells I had were like this. However....there are also no wear patterns of any kind.
-
2.74 front gear with the shim under it
-
Thrust washer on the front planet. Back side
-
Thrust washer on the front side of the front planet.
-
Large thrust washer.
This specs put new at .120......it’s new. The old one did as well except where it was dug into and worn.
-
Here is the gap. This runs about .097
The snap ring that was in there was .042
Given the 904 I just finished up. I’d have to take it back apart to look at the difference I think this is wrong. I really hate taking that pump out. I guess I’m going to have to get a slide hammer made for that.
I don’t see where I messed this up. It all seems perfect except for that snap ring.
