injury.
Rotate the transmission assembly so that the
converter housing surface is facing up.
30. Calculate the thrust bearing thickness.
Extend the micrometer probe until it

contacts the intermediate brake drum thrust
bearing surface. Record the reading. This is
dimension A.
31. Place the micrometer on the opposite side of

the special tool and repeat the measurement.
This is dimension B.
29. Select the No. 4 intermediate brake drum thrust

bearing as follows:
1
Install the special tool on the case assembly

shoulder.
Set the special tool on top as shown.
32. Add dimension A and B, divide the total of A

and B by 2. Then subtract the special tool
thickness 17.78 mm (0.700 inch). Record this
reading as dimension C.
2006 Ranger, 9/2005

33. Place the special tool across the center support.
Place the micrometer on the top of the special
tool.
Extend the micrometer probe until it makes

contact with the center support thrust
bearing surface. Record this reading as
dimension D.
35. Add dimensions D and F, divide the total of D

and F by 2. Subtract the special tool thickness
17.78 mm (0.700 inch) dimension E. The result
is dimension G.
34. Place the special tool on the opposite side of

the special tool.
Extend the micrometer probe until it makes

contact with the center support thrust
bearing surface. Record this reading as
dimension F.
36. Add dimensions C and G. This total is

dimension H. Use the following chart to select
the correct No. 4 thrust bearing. Reference end
play is 0.20-0.54 mm (0.008-0.021 inch).
