Fleetwood FWD V8-300 4.9L (1993)
A new rocker-joint design drive link assembly (510/507) has been released for 1993 Hydra-Matic 4T60-E (RPO M13) transaxles. Refer to Figures 1 and
2. Due to the unique rocker-joint drive link configuration, it was necessary to change the tooth geometry on the drive and driven sprockets.
NOTE:
A rocker-joint drive link assembly cannot be used on a transaxle that previously had a round pin drive link unless the drive and driven sprockets have
been updated (or viceversa).
NOTE:
If a rocker-joint link is assembled on a unit without updating the drive and driven sprocket (or vice versa), wear on the sprockets and drive link will
be greatly increased. Also, drive link noise may also increase to the level that may be considered unacceptable.
Rocker-Joint Advantages Over Round Pin Drive Link Design:
^
Low friction of design permits smoother operation at high speeds.
^
Reduced chain wear.
^
Higher efficiency at continuous speeds.
