I got a 555 here that I suspected need diff bearings because it had a good bit of side to side slop. After I pulled the diff I didn't find any shims, I was told there are shims in there to set the preload.
So my question is was someone screwing around with this tranny and just not put it back together right (didn't look like it to me), or is that OK to not have any shims?
Anyway, the one bearing cup was a little chewed up so thats what I suspect the play was.
Anybody know a part number for NAPA for these bearings? Nothing came up on their computer for M/T diff bearings.
Will I need to use shims now or what?
