Summary
The contents of this guideline includes component reusability and some salvage procedures. Most of this guideline gives visual examples of parts that fall into the "Use again" or "Do not use again" categories. Subjects requiring more lengthy salvage procedures are contained in other published guidelines. These guidelines are listed in the "References" section.
Replacement of individual ring, planet, or sun gears in a planetary set is acceptable. It is recommended that all the planet gears be replaced together if the new gears have the same package date. Otherwise, individual gears can be replaced.
When used in the same application, parts that meet the "Use again" specifications in this and other guidelines can be expected to give normal performance until the next Planned Component Rebuild (PCR). Never install a part that this guideline shows cannot be used again. During reconditioning, correct any conditions that might have caused the original failure.

Carrier Deck Cracks
Only 8S-0005 Carriers with deck cracks that meet the following criteria can be used again. Other carriers cannot be used again if any cracks are visible anywhere on the carrier deck. 8S-0005 Carriers with cracks visible on the outside edge of the decks, can be used again (see Illustration 4). If cracks are visible on the flat surface of the decks, do not use again (see Illustrations 5 and 6). use a penetrant or magnetic particle procedure to identify cracks.

Bearing Diameters
Pitting, spalling, or wear steps that can be felt with a fingernail are not acceptable. Light scratches may be acceptable, but only if scratches do not catch a piece of tag wire or paper passed across the top of the scratched surface.
Gears
Illustration 8 | g02298553 |
Gear nomenclature. |
Nomenclature
Crown: Slight convex outline of a gear tooth viewed from the top (see Illustration 8). The slightly rounded shape of the tooth crown compensates for minor gear tooth misalignment by avoiding load concentration on the ends of the teeth.
Profile: Shape or outline of the tooth as seen from the side of the tooth.
HPSTC: Highest point of single tooth contact.
LPSTC: Lowest point of single tooth contact.
Pitch Line: The tooth location between the HPSTC and the LPSTC where there is no sliding action between the two mating gear teeth surfaces.
Rolling/Sliding Action: When two mating gears rotate, the teeth go through a combined rolling/sliding action (see Illustration 9).
Illustration 9 | g02298854 |
Rolling/Sliding action. |
Rolling/Sliding Action
The rolling/sliding action takes place when two teeth begin to make contact. As the teeth engage, the sliding action stops at the operating pitch line. The rolling action continues until the tip of the drive gear tooth and the root of the driven gear begin to make contact. Currently, sliding/rolling action resumes and the cycle begins again (see Illustration 9).
Sliding action, plus the load placed between two teeth, is the basic operational cause of surface damage, such as scoring, on gear teeth. Sliding action is greatest near the tooth tip and root. These areas must be inspected for scoring and other types of surface damage.
Sliding under a high load can also cause pitting. The areas of greatest stress caused by sliding are the LPSTC of the sun gear and the HPSTC of the planet and ring gears. These areas need careful inspection for pitting.
Pitting And Spalling
Pitting is a type of surface or subsurface fatigue failure of a gear tooth. Pitting is usually the result of high contact stresses and the rolling/sliding action of two gear teeth. A pit begins as a minute crack, less the
Destructive pitting usually occurs after a long period of operation and high contact stresses. Inadequate lubrication can also cause destructive pitting. Destructive pitting can progress rapidly into either spalling, or complete disintegration of the tooth. Each pit acts as a point of stress concentration which accelerates pit formation until the tooth fractures.
Pitting, if not corrected, can progress into spalling (see the section on "Spalling" for additional information).
Initial Pitting
If ridges or high spots are present in high load areas, surface cracks and surface pits may begin to develop. Such pits are less than

Note: Illustrations 10,12,14,16, and 18 Use again after lightly polishing the tooth profiles with a 6V-2010 Stone and oil.
Destructive Pitting
Destructive pitting usually occurs after a long period of operation and high contact stresses. Inadequate lubrication can also cause destructive pitting. Destructive pitting can progress rapidly into either spalling or complete disintegration of the tooth. Each pit acts as a point of stress which accelerates pit formation until the tooth fractures. Illustrations 20 through 26 show the progression of a typical gear tooth failure from destructive pitting through spalling.

Spalling
Spalling is a type of subsurface fatigue failure. Spalling usually begins with a small fatigue crack under the surface of the gear tooth. The tooth surface is then weakened and metal flakes away from the tooth face. Once spalling begins, the damage can progress quickly to gear tooth fracture.
Note: Note: While spalling is often the final stage of pitting, each can occur separately.
Abrasive Wear
Abrasive wear on gear teeth is caused by small foreign particles, such as dirt or metal, in the lubrication system. These small particles act as a lapping compound during machine operation and wear down the gear tooth surface.
During the early stage of abrasive wear, the gear teeth will have a satiny, not shiny, appearance. The next stage of abrasive wear results in the appearance of flat spots on the gear tooth profile and a reduction of the tooth crown. The advanced stage of abrasive wear results in deep grooves appearing on both sides of the gear tooth pitch line. Abrasive wear of the gear teeth is accompanied by wear on all transmission components, including bearing needles, cages, and races.
Note: If abrasive wear is found in the gear train, correct the source of contamination.
Illustration 36 | g02336036 |
Advanced abrasive wear around the gear tooth pitch line. Notice that the tooth profile is altered because of the advanced wear. |
Gear Cleaning and Inspection
Note: Gears must be cleaned prior to inspection. After removing the gears from the transmission, clean and ensure that all are free of dirt, water, and oil. If the gears are to be stored after inspection, coat with a thin layer of oil and store in a clean, dry place.
After cleaning the gear, carefully inspect every tooth completely for cracks, pitting, spalling, or any surface damage. This inspection may be accomplished using a magnifying glass and a strong light source (sunlight is best). It may be difficult to distinguish between small scratches and cracks. Magnetic particle, or dye penetrant may be also used to ensure that the gear is reusable.
NOTICE |
---|
It is important to inspect every tooth of each gear. It is possible for only one tooth to be damaged. If a gear is used again after falling within the "Do not use again" criteria, failure may result in damage to other transmission components. |
Teeth
Some planet gears may have wear or damage on only one side (face) of the teeth. Do not turn the gears around to present new wear surface if the gear does not meet "Use again" criteria. Planet gears are idler gears. During each revolution there is equal tooth loading in both directions on every tooth. This tooth loading causes a planet gear to be unusable if wear or damage on only one side (face) of the teeth meets the "Do not use again" criteria.
Cracks
No cracks or any amount of pitting and/or spalling are acceptable on planet gear teeth. If any evidence of cracks, pitting or spalling is visible, do not use again.
Note: What appear to be small cracks may only be hob (gear cutter) marks. Inspect the gear carefully using Illustrations 37 and 38 for reference.
It is common for shaving marks or machining marks to polish away without development of surface pits. Load carrying surfaces may become polished until they are mirror-like as seen in Illustration 39.
Illustration 37 | g02336137 |
Machining marks may appear to be cracks. |
Illustration 38 | g02336180 |
What appears to be several cracks on the planet gear tooth are actually hob marks. |
Illustrations 37 and 38 Use again.
Frosting
Illustration 39 | g02336196 |
Surfaces of planet gear teeth have become frosted. Small pits are forming in the frosted area. |
Do not use again.
Frosting can also appear as thin surface layers of the tooth missing in bigger areas. This condition occurs when a rough surface or tiny projections from the surface make contact and microweld. The surface metal then either pulls out or fractures on a small scale. This results in a gray matte appearance which is not detrimental at this stage. However, if the conditions causing "frosting" are not corrected, destructive pitting may begin. See Illustration 40.
Illustration 40 | g02336220 |
Frosting. If pitting has started, do not use the gear again. |
Use again after correcting the condition that caused the "frosting". Do not use again if pitting has started.
Surface Blemishes
Illustration 41 | g02336264 |
Planet gear tooth edge with a small nick. |
Use again only after removing the nick with a 6V-2010 Polishing Stone.
Illustration 42 | g02336273 |
Planet gear tooth surface shows an indentation. |
Do not use again.
Surface blemishes, resulting from foreign material, are acceptable only if the material did not cause indentations on the faces of planet gear teeth.
Planet gear teeth with small nicks may be reusable, but only if the nick can be removed with a 6V-2010 Polishing Stone.
Indentations can result in case cracking and can result in tooth failure and result in damage to the transmission components.
Excessive Wear
Excessive wear can cause an increased noise level and accelerates the tendency for tooth surface pitting and spalling.
To test for excessive wear on planet gears, except those that are listed below, place a straight edge across a gear tooth. If there is not excessive wear, the straight edge can be rocked against the tooth crown as shown in Illustration 43. Do not use gears that show excessive wear.
Note: The amount of crown is small, only
The following gears do not have crowned teeth.

---|---|---|
Illustration 43 | g02336399 |
Place a straight edge along the pitch line of a crowned gear tooth. If the straight edge can be rocked, the amount of wear if NOT excessive. |
Excessive Wear
Bearing bores with excessive wear will not adequately guide the bearing cage and could result in premature bearing failure.
The length of the bearing needles is not precisely controlled. If a bearing with long needles is installed in a gear with a wear step created by shorter needles, this could result in premature bearing failure.
To determine the amount of wear on the bearing bore, use a dial bore gauge to measure both a portion of the bore showing the most wear, and an unworn portion of the bore. Subtract the two measurements. No more than
Note: Note: Gears with bore wear exceeding the maximum amount permitted may be sectioned and used as a guide to compare with wear on other gears.
Use the following illustrations as aids to determine whether planet gear bearing bores fall within the "Do not use again" criteria.

Illustration 47 | g02343136 |
Severe wear to bearing bore caused by bearing cage. Wear will not allow the bearing bore to guide a new bearing correctly and will cause premature failure. |
Illustrations 46 & 47 Do not use again.
Rust
Gears with light rust on the bearing bore can be used again if the rust can be removed by light polishing with crocus cloth and oil. Gears showing heavy rust cannot be used again because the rust will create pits.
Illustration 48 | g02343161 |
Water inside the transmission caused excessive rust on the planet gear bearing bore. |
Foreign Material
Foreign material, usually the result of another failure, can result in bearing bore indentations and pitting. Dents in the bearing bore can greatly reduce the bearing contact area and/or create cracks in the surface, resulting in substantially shortened bearing life.
Illustration 49 | g02343197 |
Excessive amount of damage to the planet gear bearing bore due to foreign material. |
Scratches
Light, circumferential scratches may be acceptable, but only if they do not catch a piece of tag wire or paper passed across the top of the scratched surface. Use a 6V-2010 Polishing Stone to remove any radial scratches or small nicks.
Wear
Gears with more than
Illustration 50 | g02343236 |
Planet gear thrust face. |
Do not use again if face wear exceeds
Planet Gear Thrust Washers
Newer, green, dark gray/black, or light brown thrust washers can be used again if they are not chipped, cracked, burned, melted, grooved, or worn. Do not reuse the older, tan color washers.
Sun Gears
No pitting, spalling, or cracks are acceptable.
Frosting is a condition caused by inadequate oil film between mating gear teeth surfaces. It appears as a cloudy area on the gear contact surface and is sometimes accompanied by small surface pits.
Gears with frosting can be used again provided any surface pits are small enough that they do not catch a piece of tag wire passed along the frosted surface. Frosting accompanied by any pit that does catch a tag wire is unacceptable and the gear should not be used again.
Frosting is different in appearance than abrasive wear or light surface rust. Abrasive wear, due to foreign material, usually covers the entire tooth face contact surface and has a more satiny, shiny appearance.
Abrasive wear will usually appear on all gears and other transmission components. Light surface rust or corrosion can produce a mottled appearance, which has an irregular outline.
Note: If abrasive wear is found in the gear train, correct the source of contamination. Light surface rust or corrosion can produce a frosted appearance, but usually is of irregular shape. Gears with this type of condition can be reused if there are no pits or other defects.
Illustration 51 | g02343296 |
Surfaces of the sun gear teeth have become frosted and small pits have formed in the frosted area. |
Ring Gears
Reusability of ring gears depends on the amount of damage or wear. Some damaged clutch ring gears obviously cannot be used again. Other gears, with certain limitations, can be used again. Some clutch ring gears can be reused without limitations, depending upon the location and degree of damage.
Common types of damage which do not necessarily effect on reuse are:
- Wear of the ring gear side face
- Wear on crown of outer teeth
- Notches on face of outer teeth
- Damage caused by debris
for complete information concerning the reusability of ring gears, see Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8017, "Clutch Ring Gears for All Power Shift Transmissions".
Main Shafts
For complete information concerning the reusability of main shafts, see Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8060, "Repair of Transmission, Torque Converter, and Torque Divider Shafts".
Bearings
Reuse bearings with less than 2,000 hours of use if there is no visible damage caused by other failures.
Do not use bearings showing any cage wear or discoloration.
Clutch Friction Material
For complete information concerning the reusability of main shafts, see Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8013, "Transmission Clutch Plates and Disc Assemblies with Sintered Bronze Friction Material", Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8031, "Transmission Clutch Plates and Disc Assemblies with F37 Clutch Friction Material", and Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8098, "Transmission Clutch Plates and Disc Assemblies with RAYFLEX® Friction Material".
Clutch Pistons and Housings
Ensure that there are no burrs, nicks, or scratches on housing faces that form a metal-to-metal oil seal. See Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8006, "Clutch Housings and Clutch Pistons for Transmissions and Torque Dividers (with Cast Iron Seal Rings)" and Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8014, "Identification and Applications of Transmission Clutch Plates and Specifications to Machine Reaction Faces for Power Shift Transmissions" for additional salvage information.
Selector and Pressure Control Valves
No scratches, nicks, or dents are acceptable on valve spools. If spools appear to have a satiny surface, it is an indication of abrasive wear.
Check spool and bore for excessive wear, such as spalling, pitting, and cracking. If excessive wear is present, do not use again. No scratches are acceptable in the bores. The metering edges of spools and bodies must be sharp and not rounded by erosion.
Springs
No rust or pitting are acceptable on valve springs. Check free length of valve spring and loaded length. Refer to the appropriate Service manual for specifications.
Cases
Check for cracks and blocked oil passages. Check pilot diameters and mounting faces for excessive wear or fretting. Check dowel pin bores for wear and cracks. If any of the above conditions are found, do not use again.
