Auto Trans Output Bushing Orientation Question. [Inquiry:] In replacing the auto trans output bushing, which way does the hole in the bushing go?
[Response: Patrick Petrella] I did get the bearing issue resolved. Ended up talking with a mechanic in Colorado, who seemed to know what he was talking about. Volvo was essentially no help. Someone sent me jpegs of two pages out of the Volvo trans shop manual, which clearly stated that the new bearings come with no hole in the side. I went back to the parts counter at Volvo and was shown that all their bearings HAD the side hole. A never-ending spiral of confusion. So this Colorado mechanic said he had done this repair on many AW71 trans, and that the orientation of the side hole was not critical, but should NOT be lined up with either slot in the tailshaft housing. He puts the sleeve bearing in with the hole at the top. So that’s what I did. I would like to know what the hole is for. Maybe used during manufacture of the bearing, with nothing to do with operation?
