3 Front Differential Drive Pinion Gear Bearing Cup
Warning

Support the back side of the torque converter housing before installing the bearing cup. Apply a light coating of transmission fluid to the bore before pressing the cup into position. Install the bearing cup until it stops moving. Applying excessive pressure to the bearing cup once it is seated could cause damage to the torque converter housing casting.


Warning

An unseated or improperly installed bearing cup will result in premature bearing failure. Visually inspect the bearing cup to insure there is no "clearance" between the converter housing, thrust washer, and the bearing cup. Use of a feeler gauge may assist in identifying a bearing cup that is not fully seated.
