Part 2

Secondary Gear and Output Gear Preload Measurement/Adjustment (Continued)

6. Perform the following calculation to calculate the gap in the shim thickness.

NOTE:
- The gap in the shim thickness is the difference between the removed shim thickness and the optimum shim thickness.
- If the shim thickness is thickened 0.1 mm {0.00394 in}, the secondary gear and output gear preload increases approx. 1.6 N.m {16.3 kgf.cm, 14.1 in.lbf}.

Shim thickness gap = Hx0.1 mm {0.00394 in} / 1.6 N.m {16.3 kgf.cm, 14.1 in.lbf}
H : Preload gap

Note
Example

H : Preload gap is 0.75 N.m {7.6 kgf.cm, 6.6 in.lbf}
Shim thickness gap = 0.75 N.m {7.6 kgf.cm, 6.6 in.lbf} x 0.1 mm {0.00394 in} / 1.6 N.m {16.3 kgf.cm, 14.1 in.lbf} = 0.047 mm {0.00185 in}

7. Input the calculated shim thickness gap into the measurement/adjustment value sheet.
8. Perform the following calculation to calculate the optimum shim thickness.
Optimum shim thickness = F + I
F : Thickness of removed shim
I : Shim thickness gap

Note
Example

F : Thickness of removed shim is 0.855 mm {0.03366 in}
I : Shim thickness gap is 0.047 mm {0.00185 in}
Thickness of optimum shim = 0.855 mm {0.03366 in} + 0.047 mm {0.00185 in} = 0.902 mm {0.03551 in}

9. Input the calculated optimum shim thickness into the measurement/adjustment value sheet.
10. Select the nearest new shim for the calculated optimum shim thickness from the following table:






11. Assemble the bearing race and selected new shim to the converter housing using the following procedure:

CAUTION: Always use a new shim. If a deformed shim is reused, it may cause a transaxle malfunction.

1. Apply ATF (ATF FZ) to the engagement area of the bearing race and converter housing.
















2. Assemble the bearing race and selected new shim using the following procedure and SST:

12. Perform the secondary gear and output gear preload measurement from Step 7. (See Secondary Gear and Output Gear Preload Measurement.)
