Selection of Shim

Adjust the preload and select the shim as follows.

Primary shaft assembly
1. Set the primary shaft assembly into the clutch housing.





2. Install the transaxle case to the clutch housing and tighten bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 14 - 19 ft. lbs. (19 - 26 Nm, 1.9 - 2.6 kg-m)





3. Mount the dial indicator to the transaxle hanger and measure the primary shaft thrust clearance.
Clearance: 0 - 0.004 inch (0 - 0.10 mm)
4. Select the closest shim on the thin side from the table.
Thickness of adjustment shim: 0.012 inch (0.3 mm), 0.016 inch (0.4 mm), 0.02 inch (0.5 mm)

Secondary shaft assembly





1. Install the funnel and bearing outer race into the clutch housing.
2. Set the secondary shaft into the clutch housing.
3. Install the secondary shaft bearing outer race into the transaxle case.





4. Install the transaxle case to the clutch housing and tighten bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 14 - 19 ft. lbs. (19 - 26 Nm, 1.9 - 2.6 kg-m)





5. Mount a dial indicator to the transaxle case and measure the secondary shaft end play.
Clearance: 0.002 - 0.004 inch (0.05 - 0.10 mm)
6. Select the shim as follows.
a) Add the 0.001 inch (0.03 mm) to the thrust clearance.
b) Add the 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) to the thrust clearance.
c) Select the thickest shim in the range between (a) and (b).

Example: 0.0087 inch (0.22 mm)

0.0087 inch (0.22 mm) - 0.012 inch (0.03 mm) = 0.0098 inch (0.25 mm)
0.0087 inch (0.22 mm) - 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) = 0.012 inch (0.30 mm)
Range:
0.0098 inch (0.25 mm) - 0.001 inch (0.30 mm)
Select the
0.012 inch (0.30 mm) one

Differential
1. Install the bearing outer race into the clutch housing.





2. Set the differential assembly into the clutch housing.

Notice: Turn A and B until the gap shown in figure is eliminated.





3. Install the transaxle case side bearing outer race to a SST(OK900 175 AAO).





4. Set the SST(OK900 175 AAO) in the positions shown in figure.





5. Tighten the SST(OK900 175 AAO) to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 14 - 19 ft. lbs. (19 - 26 Nm, 1.9 - 2.6 kg-m)





Notice: Turn the bars until SST(OK900 175AAO) can no longer be moved.

6. To set the bearings, mount the bars on parts (A) and (B) of the selector, and turn the selector so the gap is widened.
7. Turn in the reverse direction until the gap is eliminated.





8. Install SST (OK900 175 AAO/OK130 322 020) to the differential pinion gear, through the transaxle case.





9. Turn the SST (OK130 322 020) with a spring balance. Until the specified preload can be obtained, adjust the SST (Selector) with a bar.
Preload: 10 - 14 inch lbs. (1.4 - 2.0 Nm, 14 - 20 kg-cm)
10. Remove the SST (OK130 322 020).





11. Measure the clearance around the entire circumference of the SST(OK900 175 AAO).





12. Select the proper adjust shim(s) to be used for the differential by referring to the table and selecting the shim which is nearest (on the thick side) to the largest measured clearance in the selector.

13. Remove the SST(OK900 175 AAO).
14. Remove the transaxle case and SST(OK900 175 AAO).
15. Remove the bearing outer race from the SST(OK900 175 AAO).





16. Install the selected shim and the bearing outer race to the transaxle case.

Bearing preload (Differential)
Measure the preload as follows.





1. Set the differential assembly into the clutch housing.





2. Install the transaxle case onto the clutch housing.
Tightening torque: 14 - 19 ft. lbs.(19 - 26 Nm,1.9 - 2.6 kg-m)




3. Install a SST(OK900 175 AAO) to the differential side gear, through the transaxle case.





4. Measure the bearing preload.
Preload: 104 - 144 ft. lbs.(137 - 196 Nm, 14 - 20 kg-m)
5. If not as specified, readjust the bearing preload.
6. Remove the SST(OK130322 020).
7. Remove the transaxle case and the differential assembly.
