Measuring and adjusting front end play in the Ford C6 is a critical part of overhauling these transmissions. It is also a fairly straightforward process which I demonstrate from start to finish for those not already familiar.
Good vid . That one came up perfect.. :) One thing I have found is have the trans standing upright or in a mounting cradle, upright gives a more consistent measurement . Also something to look out for . Often excess endfloat can be caused by wear in the sun shell to sun gear. A tell tale is the front planet touching the shell . But correcting that can rectify excess endfloat
Hey Greg - yep, got a bit lucky with that one :) Agree completely with having the case vertical as you have gravity helping you out so readings are def more consistent....Great tip for what to look for on tear down when inspecting the sun gear, planet and shell, thank you for sharing!
Hi Will, just purchase a set of dial calipers along with a dial indicator and base like the ones seen in the video so you can be sure of your measurements. Thank you for watching!
