NOTE:
Whenever the transaxle has been disassembled, the bearing preload must be adjusted. The input shaft, output shaft and differential bearing preload can be adjusted by selecting shims to insert between the bearing races and the case.
- Install the input shaft.
- Install the bearing cup onto the bearing.
- Install the Shim Selection Set.
- Install the transaxle case.
- Position the transaxle case in place.
- Install the Shim Selection Set bolts.
- Tighten to 45 Nm (33 lb-ft).
- Mount the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture to the transaxle case.
- Rotate the input shaft to seat the bearings.
- Zero the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture.
- Rotate the input shaft until the Dial Indicator Gauge returns to zero, then raise the input shaft and read the end play.
- Take and record 3 readings within 0.10 mm (0.003 in) of each other. Use the formula below to select the correct shim size.
SHIM SIZE SPECIFICATION TABLEAverage the 3 readings Example Reading A 0.019 Reading B 0.014 Reading C +0.021
0.054 ÷ 3 = 0.018Final Shim Size 0.018 NOTE: The shaft must be lifted equally on both sides or it may bind on one side, resulting in an incorrect reading.
