Summary of the Problem.
a. Five cracked second stage planetary gears/bearing assemblies were found. The cracks were not
detected by the required non--destructive testing procedure at time of manufacture. These gear/bearing as-
semblies are located in the forward and aft transmissions. The manufacturers of these also make the first
stage planetary gear/bearing assemblies. This message is the first in a series listing inspection requirements
that must be accomplished, beginning at the depot level.
b. For manpower/downtime and funding impacts, see paragraph 12.
c. The purpose of this TB is to identify transmissions which have had all gear/bearing assemblies in-
spected and have been reidentified by an "MG" serial number suffix. Transmissions with a "MG" serial number
suffix are considered serviceable.
