Inspection of Combining Transmissions

 

             Summary of Problem - A unit reported that after experiencing a debris screen latch, they found plastic type debris in the combining transmission oil filter. Analysis of the debris revealed that it was plastic media. It has been determined that this material is the result of the use of plastic media blast procedure by CCAD to remove surface coatings from the housing assemblies. This procedure can leave particles inside the transmission that could interfere with necessary oil flow. See also 74-22292.
