The OE rear case bushings in the Ford E4OD and 4R100 transmissions tend to spin out, causing damage to the case. After the case is damaged, it is impractical to reinstall a standard bushing. Bushing spin-out may be due to lack of lubrication or too much load for a given bearing area. Sonnax oversized rear case bushing 36008C replaces worn or damaged OE bushings. Sonnax bushings are an improvement over the OE two-bushing design because of their increased bearing surface area and superior lubrication characteristics.
