(1) Reaction carrier assembly for excess pinion gear end play 0.23 to 0.77 mm (0.009 to 0.024 in). Check with a feeler gage. Check pinion gear
and internal gear teeth for damage.
(2) Input carrier to reaction carrier lube dam for cracks or excess wear.
(3) Input carrier for excess pinion gear end play 0.23 to 0.77 mm (0.009 to 0.030 in). Check with feeler gage.
MEASURE:
The distance between the carrier housing and closest pinion washer. If the distance exceeds 0.77 mm (0.030 in), replace the carrier assembly (this
specification pertains to both bronze to steel and steel to steel carrier applications).
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT attempt to rebuild the input or reaction carrier. Attempts to do so could effect the durability of the transaxle.

Date Of Production Change:
The steel to steel input carrier assembly was implemented into production on both the 4T60 and 4T60-E transaxles during the week of April 15, 1991
(Julian Date 098).
