ASSEMBLY






36. Install input clutch assembly into position and verify that it is completely seated by viewing through input speed sensor hole (3). If view through input speed sensor hole is not as shown in the view, the input clutch assembly (2) is not seated properly.










37. Remove oil pump O-ring (2). Be sure to reinstall oil pump O-ring after selecting the proper number four thrust plate.
38. Install pump and gasket to transmission. Install and torque bolts.










39. Set up input shaft for measurement with Indicator Set C-3339A (3) and End Play Set 8266A (1,2).
40. Measure the input shaft end play with the transaxle in the vertical position. Input shaft end play must be within 0.13-0.64 mm (0.005 to 0.025 in.) For example, if end play reading is 0.055 in. select number four Thrust Plate which is 0.071-0.074 in. thick. This should provide an input shaft end play reading of 0.020 in. which is within specifications.
41. Refer to the number four thrust plate chart NO. 4 THRUST PLATE CHART to select the proper number four thrust plate.

NO. 4 THRUST PLATE CHART

59. Using the Turning Torque Tool 9735 (1) and an inch pound torque wrench (2) check the differential turning torque, it should be 10 to 22 in-lbs (drag). If turning torque is more than 22 in-lbs (drag) decrease shim size behind the end cover and recheck. If turning torque is less than 10 in-lbs (drag) increase shim size.
60. After proper turning torque is achieved for the differential remove the differential from the case and set aside keeping the correct shim with the differential.

NOTE: Differential assembly must not be installed when checking for pinion drag torque.

66. Check turning torque using Differential Bearing Torque Tool C-4995A (2) and an inch pound torque wrench (1). Turning torque for the remote pinion gear should be 2 to 8 in-lbs (drag). If more than 8 in-lbs (drag) decrease shim size under the remote pinion bearing cover cup. If turning torque is less than 2 in-lbs (drag) increase the shim size under the remote pinion bearing cover cup.
