Honda Civic. Manual — part 882

mainshaft base.

11. Zero a dial gauge (A) on the end of the mainshaft.

12. Turn the mainshaft holder bolt (B) clockwise; stop turning when the dial gauge

has reached its maximum movement. The reading on the dial gauge is the
amount of mainshaft thrust clearance.

13. If the reading is within the standard, the clearance is correct. If the reading is

not within the standard, select the appropriate shim needed from the table, and
recheck the thrust clearance.

Standard: 0.11-0.17 mm (0.004-0.007 in.)

(Example)

Measure reading: 1.93 mm (0.0759 in.)

Subtract the total clearance measurement from the middle of the clearance
standard 0.14 mm (0.0056 in.).

NOTE:

Do not turn the mainshaft holder bolt more than 60
degrees after the needle of the dial gauge stops
moving. Applying more pressure with the mainshaft
holder bolt could damage the transmission.

1.93 - 0.14 = 1.79 mm (0.0704 in.)

Select the shim closest to the amount calculated. For this example, the 1.80
mm (0.0709 in.) shim is best.

14. With oil guide plate M and the appropriate size shim installed in the

transmission housing, check the thrust clearance again to make sure the
clearance is within the standard.
