DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD

• When adjusting differential side bearing preload, select adjusting

shim for differential side bearing. To select adjusting shim, mea-
sure clearance “L” between transaxle case and differential side
bearing outer race.

CAUTION:

Up to 2 adjusting shims can be selected.

• Calculate dimension “L” (thickness of adjusting shim) using the fol-

lowing procedure to satisfy specification of preload for differential
side bearing.

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

1.

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge, measure dimension
“L

1

” between transaxle case end face and mounting face of

adjusting shim.

2.

Install differential side bearing outer race onto differential side
bearing on final gear side. Holding lightly differential side bear-
ing outer race horizontally by hand, rotate final gear five times or
more (for smooth movement of bearing roller).

3.

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge as shown in the fig-
ure, measure dimension “L

2

” between differential side bearing

outer race and clutch housing end face.

CAUTION:

“L

2

”: Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and

use the average value.

4.

Install selected differential side bearing adjusting shim and then
install differential side bearing outer race (transaxle case side)
using the drift.

CAUTION:

Replace differential side bearing and differential side bear-
ing outer race as a set.

REVERSE IDLER GEAR END PLAY

• When adjusting reverse idler gear end play, select adjusting shim

for reverse idler gear. To select adjusting shim (1), measure clear-
ance between transaxle case (2) and reverse idler gear (rear) (3).

CAUTION:

Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.

• Calculate dimension “Q” (thickness of adjusting shim) using the fol-

lowing procedure to satisfy specification of end play for reverse
idler gear.

” between transaxle case end face and mounting face of

adjusting shim.

2.

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge as shown in the fig-
ure, measure dimension “Q

2

” between clutch housing (1) end

face and end face of reverse idler gear (rear) (2).

CAUTION:

“Q

”: Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and

use the average value.

3.

Install selected reverse idler gear adjusting shim onto reverse
idler gear (rear).

INPUT SHAFT END PLAY

• When adjusting input shaft end play, select adjusting shim for input

shaft rear bearing. To select adjusting shim, measure clearance
between transaxle case and input shaft rear bearing.

CAUTION:

Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.

• Calculate dimension “O” (thickness of adjusting shim) using the fol-

lowing procedure to satisfy specification of end play for input shaft
rear bearing.

1.

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge, measure dimension
“O

1

” between transaxle case end face and mounting face of

adjusting shim.

CAUTION:

“O

1

”: Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and

use the average value.

2.

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge as shown in the fig-
ure, measure dimension “O

” between clutch housing end face

and end face of input shaft rear bearing.

CAUTION:

“O

”: Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and

use the average value.

3.

Install selected input shaft rear bearing adjusting shim onto input
shaft.

STRIKING ROD END PLAY

• When adjusting striking rod end play, select adjusting shim (1) for

striking rod (2). To select adjusting shim, measure clearance
between transaxle case (3) and striking rod shim (4).

CAUTION:

Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.

• Calculate dimension “R” (thickness of adjusting shim) using the fol-

lowing procedure to satisfy specification of end play for striking
rod.

1.

Using a depth micrometer (A) and straightedge (B), measure
dimension “R

1

” between transaxle case (1) end face and mount-

ing face of adjusting shim.

CAUTION:

“R

1

”: Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and

use the average value.

2.

Using a depth micrometer (A) and straightedge (B) as shown in
the figure, measure dimension “R

2

” between clutch housing (1)

end face and end face of striking rod shim (2).

CAUTION:

• “R

2

”: Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and

use the average value.

• When measuring, be careful for the inclination of striking

rod assembly and striking rod shim.

3.

Install selected striking rod adjusting shim onto striking rod
assembly.
