I just rebuilt my tranny with an overhaul kit and put new hubs/sliders in. After downloading the bench manual for this trans from trs I got to torquing down the front and rear bearing retainer plates and after that I could force the shaft to turn but it was by no means spinning freely.
I am positive that in this state, the shaft spinning will create heat from friction and maybe ruin the bearings......?
All bearings and races went on correctly.
I am thinking the shims might be pressed to tightly to the bearings.
Am I way out of tolerance to the point where I should reuse the old shims if they work?
Or
Should I leave it the way it is?
This is my first tranny rebuild so if any guys with experience with these could give me advice that would be greatly appreciated!
