Thread: 4T65E End Play question?

Trannyman,

You're the best! I figured as much but still have one question if only for my own curiosity. What pushes anything up in the main? It would have to be either the sun shaft or the final drive ring gear being pushed against the big snap ring, wouldn't it? It seems those are the only 2 that would affect endplay in the main and I doubt it is the sun gear shaft. (I could be wrong) Does the sun gear shaft only float in the line so the sun gears can find there own center where they are happy?

I have the input yoke off an old axle that I put in the final drive. Then I stand it on that yoke and block up the trans so it stands on the yoke. (therefore pushes all up)

Thanks again for your expert help,
Mike

Trannyman,
I just want to say thanks again. I understand everything you explained. It is so much easier when equipped with some knowledge. You did an excellent job of describing things. I am a diesel mechanic and have experience with lots of Alison transmission. These are similar but very different.
