Anybody know what the endplay on the split transfer case output shaft should be? It has the two opposing tapered bearings with their associated races. I rebuilt the tranfer case with all new parts from Spector including all new bearings and races on the output shaft along with the gears that were visibly worn (240k on it). I put the original shims back in their places behind the races as well and I measured 13/1000 (.33mm) endplay when it is bolted together which is a lot. The toyota dealership in Portland sent me a fax suggesting I get .15mm to .30mm gap between each repective bearing and the high and low gears. They don't put shims between the bearings and gears or anything (and I asked because if you don't put shims in, friction alone holds the bearings at that tolerance.) That's it. Then simply bolt the transfer case together.
Anybody dealt with this issue already???
