TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

29. Install guide bolt (1) according to the following:
a. Shift the shifter lever A and selector lever to neutral position (A).
b. Visually confirm from the guide bolt mounting hole (C) that shift

lever A is securely set to neutral position (A). If it is not in the

neutral position (B), repeat the procedure from step a.

CAUTION:

The guide groove (D) of striking rod assembly will be dam-

aged when assembling guide bolt (1) if the lever is not in

the neutral position (B).

c.

Check continuity between terminals of park/neutral position

(PNP) switch to confirm it in the neutral position. If it is not in the

neutral position, remove park/neutral position (PNP) switch and

repeat the procedure from step a. Refer to

TM-20, "Inspection"

.

d. Install guide bolt to transaxle case and then tighten guide bolt to

the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse guide bolt.

30. Apply recommended sealant to threads of park/neutral position

(PNP) switch (1). Then install it to transaxle case and tighten to

the specified torque.

• Use Genuine Silicone RTV or an equivalent. Refer to

GI-

15, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

CAUTION:

Remove old sealant and oil adhering to threads.

31. Install plunger to transaxle case.
32. Apply recommended sealant to threads of back-up lamp switch

(2). Then install it to transaxle case and tighten to the specified

torque.

• Use Genuine Silicone RTV or an equivalent. Refer to

GI-

15, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

CAUTION:

Remove old sealant and oil adhering to threads.

33. Install air breather tube (3) to transaxle case.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse air breather tube.

• Assemble air breather tube until its collar element contacts with transaxle case.

34. Install gasket onto plug and then install them into transaxle

case. Tighten plug to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse gasket.

35. Install gasket onto drain plug and then install them into clutch

housing. Tighten drain plug to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse gasket.

36. Install O-ring onto plug (with ABS models) or speedometer pin-

ion gear (without ABS models) and then install it into clutch

housing. Tighten bolt to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse O-ring.

• After oil is filled, tighten bolt to specified torque.

Adjustment

INFOID:0000000004201598

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.

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).

TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

3. Using a depth micrometer and straightedge as shown, 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 using Tool.

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.

1. Using a depth micrometer and straightedge, measure dimension

“Q

1

” between transaxle case end face and mounting face of

adjusting shim.

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.
