ASSEMBLY











60. Remove oil pump O-ring (2). Be sure to reinstall oil pump O-ring after selecting the proper #4 thrust plate.










61. Install pump and gasket to transmission. Install oil pump-to-case bolts and tighten to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).
62. Set up input shaft for measurement with Indicator Set C-3339A (2) and End Play Socket Set 8266A (1).
63. Measure the input shaft end play with the transaxle in the vertical position. Input shaft end play must be within 0.005 to 0.025 inch. For example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select # 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.
64. Refer to the # 4 thrust plate chart to select the proper # 4 thrust plate.

65. Install input clutch assembly (1).










66. Install #1 caged needle bearing (1).










CAUTION: The cooler bypass valve must be replaced if transaxle failure has occurred. Do not attempt to reuse or clean old valve.

67. Install cooler bypass valve (1) with O-ring end towards rear of case.










68. Install oil pump gasket (1).










69. Install oil pump assembly (1).
