SPACER SELECTION FOR ADJUSTING INPUT SHAFT END PLAY/OUTPUT SHAFT PRELOAD/DIFFERENTIAL PRELOAD





1. Install the input shaft, output shaft and differential as a set to the clutch housing.

NOTE: If necessary, replace the input shaft, output shaft, differential case and/or bearings before carrying out these adjustments.





2. Put solders [1.6 mm (0.063 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long] on the input shaft rear bearing at the positions shown in the illustration.








3. Put solders [1.6 mm (0.063 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long] on the transaxle case at the positions shown in the illustration.
4. Install the bearing outer races of the differential and output shaft.

6. Remove the transaxle case.
7. Remove the outer races and take out the crushed solders.
8. Measure the thickness of the crushed solder with a micrometer and select spacers that will provide the standard end play/preload value.
Standard value:
Input shaft end play: 0.05 - 0.17 mm (0.0020 - 0.0067 inch)
