RWD Dodge 4-Speeds

O/D Planetary Bearing Failure
Repeat failure of the Overdrive planetary bearing may
occur even when properly assembled and there is no
evidence of a lack of lube (parts black and blue from
heat).
One cause is a weld above flush where the needle
bearing rides on the planet body. When the bearing is
installed and rotates over this bump (weld) it will crack
or break the race, making a whining noise in 4th, and
eventually destroys the O/D planet. ALWAYS file, sand,
or grind the welds flush BEFORE installing planet.

Additional noise info: DEEP

teeth imprints on inside diameter of
thrust plate from sun gear may
cause click noise on 3-4 upshift.
Quick rattle on 3-4 up/down shifts
may be caused by 4th plates - use
smooth frictions.

Thrust
Overdrive Sun
This bearing may fail due to weld
material on the planetary pins being too
high.
ALWAYS file or sand any welds on the
pinion pins flush before installing the
planetary.
