Abstract
The objective of the invention is to provide a fast way to adjust endplay on output shaft without removing entire output shaft gear train assembly. One embodiment of the present invention is to place the shims in new location between the outer most ring gear hub and the ring gear stop on the output shaft. The new shims will have spines so they can be placed between the output stop and the ring rear hub. Another embodiment of the present invention, a preferred method to adjust endplay is to use a @ Torrington thrust bearing between the transmission case and output shaft. This will prevent reoccurring endplay adjustments from wear.
