Nv4500 endplay question

[ahale2772]

Guys,


Ive got a NV here thats built to the point of setting endplay on the mainshaft. I have not done one of these in a few years, but I seem to remember that there is a special bearing race for the mainshaft, that makes it so the race extends fully into the case. Am I correct? As of right now the race would need ~.320 of shim to set endplay. Either I have the wrong bearing, or the wrong race. When I pulled the trans apart the last builder stacked shims for a total of .320, but I'm not about to put it back in like that.

I'll give zumbrota a call tomorrow, but I figured I'd get a head start by asking here.

Thanks

Found the problem, Last builder did not install the reverse gear thrust washer. easy fix. shows you cant just assemble stuff and hope the last guy got it right....
