(f) Using a chisel and hammer, stake the front planetary gear lock washer.
9. INSTALL INPUT SUN GEAR

(a) Install the 2 thrust bearings, bearing race and front planetary sun gear into the planetary gear.
Standard bearing race diameter:

10. INSTALL REAR PLANETARY GEAR ASSEMBLY

(a) Coat the bearing race with ATF, and install it onto the rear planetary gear.
Standard bearing race diameter:

(b) Install the planetary carrier thrust washer onto the planetary gear.

(d) Using screwdrivers, install the snap ring onto the brake hub.
11. INSTALL 1ST AND REVERSE BRAKE CLUTCH DISC

(a) Install the 5 plates and 5 discs.
Install in order:
P - D - P - D - P - D - P - D - P - D
HINT:
P = Plate
D = Disc

(b) Using vernier calipers, measure the distance between the disc surface and the contact surface of the 2nd brake cylinder and transaxle (Dimension A).
(c) Select an appropriate flange so that the piston stroke will meet the specified value.
Pack clearance:
1.02 to 1.21 mm (0.0402 to 0.0476 in.)
HINT: Piston stroke = Dimension A - Flange thickness

Standard flange thickness:

(a) Install the 1-way clutch outer sleeve into the 2nd brake cylinder.
NOTICE: Check the positioning direction of the outer sleeve.

14. INSTALL 1-WAY CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

(a) Install the inner race into the 1-way clutch.
NOTICE: Check the direction of the inner race.

(b) Check the rotating direction of the 1-way clutch for the lock or free operation, as shown in illustration.

NOTICE: Install the thrust bearing properly so that no colored race will be visible.

15. INSTALL REAR PLANETARY SUN GEAR ASSEMBLY

(a) Coat the No. 1 planetary carrier thrust washer with petroleum jelly, and install it onto the rear planetary sun gear.

(b) Coat the bearing with petroleum jelly, and install it onto the rear planetary sun gear.

Standard flange thickness:

(e) Temporarily remove the snap ring, attach the selected flange and restore the snap ring.
NOTICE: Secure the snap ring so that the gap is visible through the groove of the transaxle case.

17. INSTALL DIRECT CLUTCH

(a) Install the bearing race onto the direct clutch.
Standard bearing diameter:

(b) Install the direct clutch and thrust needle roller bearing onto the rear planetary sun gear.
NOTICE: The disc in the direct clutch should completely align with the hub attached outside the rear planetary sun gear. Otherwise, the rear cover cannot be installed.

(c) Clean the connector part of the transaxle case and rear cover.
(d) As shown in the illustration, place a straightedge on the direct clutch drum and measure the distance between the transaxle case and the straightedge using vernier calipers (Dimension B).

(e) Measure the 2 places on the rear cover as shown in the illustration and calculate dimension C using the following formula.
HINT: Dimension C = Dimension (1) - Dimension (2)

(f) Calculate the end play value using the following formula. Select a thrust bearing which satisfies the end play value and install it.
