DETERMINING NO. 4 THRUST PLATE THICKNESS-INPUT SHAFT END PLAY
To determine the proper thickness of the No. 4 thrust plate, select the thinnest No. 4 thrust plate. Using petrolatum to hold thrust plate in position, install input clutch assembly. Be sure the input clutch assembly is completely seated.

Select Thinnest No. 4 Thrust Plate:

View Through Turbine Speed Senor Hole:

CAUTION: If view through input speed sensor hole is not as shown above, the input clutches assembly is not seated properly.

Remove Oil Pump O-Ring:

Remove the oil pump O-ring. You will be able to install and remove the oil pump and gasket very easily to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

NOTE: Use screw-in dowels or phillips-head screwdrivers to align pump to case.

CAUTION: Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

Measure Input Shaft End Play:

Measure the input shaft end play with the transaxle in the vertical position. This will ensure that the measurement will be accurate.

NOTE: Input shaft end play must be 0.005 to 0.025 inch.

For example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select No. 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick. This should provide an input shaft end play reading of 0.020 inch which is within specifications.

No. 4 Thrust Plate Chart:

See chart to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

Install Input Clutch Assembly:

Install Caged Needle Bearing:

Reinstall the input clutches assembly with the selected thrust plate.

Install By-Pass Valve:

CAUTION: By-pass valve must be replaced if transmission failure occurs.

Install Oil Pump Gasket:

Install Oil Pump:

Install Oil Pump Attaching Bolts:

NOTE: To align oil pump during installation, use threaded dowels or Phillips screwdrivers.

Install Long Stub Shaft To Bellhousing:

Install Long Stub Shaft Snap Ring:

NOTE: Install new driveshaft retainer clips to driveshafts.

Install Low/Reverse Accumulator:

Install Low/Reverse Accumulator Plug (Cover):

Install Low/Reverse Accumulator Snap Ring:

Accumulator Locations:

Install Underdrive Accumulator And Spring:

Install Overdrive Accumulator And Springs:

Install Valve Body To Transaxle:

Install Valve Body Bolts (17):

Install Transaxle Oil Filter:

Install Transaxle Oil Pan:

CAUTION: Do not handle the valve body by the manual shaft. Damage could result.

Install Input And Output Speed Sensor:

Install both speed sensors from transaxle case.

Measure Input Shaft End Play:

As a final check of the transaxle, measure the input shaft end play. This will indicate when a #4 thrust plate change is required. The number 4 thrust plate is located behind the overdrive clutch hub. Attach a dial indicator to transaxle bell housing with its plunger seated against end of input shaft. Move input shaft in and out to obtain end play reading. End play specifications are 0.13 to 0.64 mm (0.005 to 0.025 inch). If not within specifications, make the necessary thrust plate adjustment.
