11. Install the needle bearing on the forward clutch drum side of the sun gear. Refer to C in the "IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDLE BEARINGS" for right direction.





12. Install the forward clutch assembly on the transaxle case.

CAUTION:
When conducting measurements, measure two or more places, and find the average value.













13. Measure the total end play as follows:
(1) Measure the distance M1 from the oil pump cover mounting surface of the transaxle case to the needle bearing mounting surface of the forward clutch drum.
(2) Measure the distance M2 from the edge of oil pump cover to the mounting surface on the transaxle case.
(3) Calculate the total end play by the following expression. Select the needle bearing so that the total end play meets its standard value.
Total end play = M1 - M2 - bearing thickness
Standard value: 0.25 - 0.55 mm (0.010 - 0.022 in)
(For total end play)

CAUTION:

- Apply Vaseline when installing the needle bearing.

- Be careful to attach the needle bearing in right direction.





14. Install the selected needle bearing on the forward clutch assembly. Refer to D in the
"IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDLE BEARINGS" for right direction.

CAUTION:

- Do not re-use the seal rings.

- Apply Vaseline when installing the seal rings.





15. Install the seal rings on the oil pump cover.

CAUTION:
Do not re-use the bolt.





16. Install the detent spring on the transaxle case and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 6.9 Nm (61 in-lb)

CAUTION:

- Do not re-use the O-ring.

- Apply transmission fluid when installing the O-ring.





17. Install the O-ring on the plug.









18. Install the plug on the converter housing to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 7.5 Nm (66 in-lb)

CAUTION:
Do not bend the pipe when attaching it.





19. Install the pipe on the converter housing.





20. Install the clip and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.9 Nm (52 in-lb)

CAUTION:

- Do not re-use the outer race.

- Replace the outer race together with the inner race.









21. Using the special tools MB990779 and MB990780 [F1CJA] or MB991168 and MB991702 [W1CJA], Install the differential bearing outer race of differential side bearing on the converter housing.

CAUTION:

- When adjusting the preload, apply transmission fluid to the bearing to make it roll smoothly.

- When conducting measurements, measure two or more places, and find the average value.

















22. Measure the preload A of the differential assembly as follows:
(1) Measure the distance M3 from the edge of transaxle case to the mounting surface of adjusting shim.
(2) Install the differential assembly on the converter housing, and measure the distance M4 from the differential case to the edge of converter housing.
(3) Install the outer race on differential side bearing, and measure the distance M5 from the differential case to the outer race of differential side bearing.
(4) Using the following expression, calculate the distance M6 from the edge of converter housing to the outer race of differential side bearing.
M6 = M4 - M5
(5) Using the following expression, calculate thickness of the adjusting shim.
Thickness of adjusting shim = M3 - M6 + preload
Standard value: 0.17 - 0.23 mm (0.007 - 0.009 in)
(For differential preload)

CAUTION:
Do not re-use the adjusting shim.





23. Install the selected shim on the transaxle case. For selection of the adjusting shim, refer to "SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS."

CAUTION:

- Do not re-use the outer race.

- Replace the outer race together with the inner race.





24. Using the special tool MB990780, install the outer race of differential side bearing on the transaxle case.

CAUTION:

- Do not re-use the outer race.

- Replace the outer race together with the inner race.





25. Using the special tools MB990932 and MB990938, install the outer race of reduction gear bearing on the converter housing.

CAUTION:

- When adjusting the preload, apply transmission fluid to the bearing to make it roll smoothly.

- When conducting measurements, measure two or more places, and find the average value.

















26. Measure the preload A of the reduction gear assembly in the following way.
(1) Measure the distance M7 from the edge of transaxle case to the mounting surface of adjusting shim.
(2) Install the reduction gear assembly on the converter housing, and measure the distance M8 from the edge of reduction gear assembly to the edge of converter housing.
(3) Install the outer race of reduction gear side bearing on the bearing, and measure the distance M9 from the edge of reduction gear assembly to the outer race of reduction gear bearing.
(4) Using the following expression, calculate the difference M10 from the outer race of reduction gear bearing to the edge of converter housing.
M10 = M8 - M9
(5) Using the following expression, calculate the thickness of adjusting shim.
Thickness of adjusting shim = M7 - M10 + preload
Standard value: 0.11 - 0.17 mm (0.004 - 0.006 in)
(For reduction gear preload)

CAUTION:
Do not re-use the adjusting shim.





27. Install the selected adjusting shim on the transaxle case. For selection of the adjusting shim, refer to "SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS."

CAUTION:

- Do not re-use the outer race.

- Replace the outer race together with the inner race.
