CD4E Direct Shell Washer - Heavy Duty
(Plastic 4 Tab)
Make : Ford &
Mazda
Year : 1990 –
2010
Transmission:
CD4E / LA4A-EL
PART NUMBER : GDE - 536841
THICKNESS : 0.137in
(3.48mm)
PROBLEM AREA :
Breakage of the Direct Shell Washer (Four
Tab).
Between Input Drum and Direct Shell.
TECH :
The washer breaks due to its
thinness and inability to support the direct shell. This causes the
washer to collapses around the snap ring and breaks into smaller pieces,
which could eventually lead to the unit's failure. Engineering greater
dimensions into the washer, gave it a greater tensile strength than the
factory washer. The Factory washer is 0.078in (1.98mm) in thickness.
The replacement washer, By Greater Dimensions Engineering, is 0.137in
(3.48mm) in thickness leaving .005in (.127mm) to .010in (.254mm) in
endplay tolerance between the drum and direct shell. With the factory
washer, this leaves .054in (1.50mm) endplay between the drum and the
direct shell, + 0.020in (.508mm) when the washer begins to fail. This
amount of endplay tolerance in any unit will lead to more bushing wear
and eventually hard part failure. After extensive testing we found that
the factory washer begins to lose its tensile strength after about 3000
miles on the average unit.
SOLUTION :
The heavy duty washer
engineered, By Greater Dimensions Engineering
Should last the life of the
unit.
