75.Use special tools MB990935 <F4A42> or MB990936

<F4A51> and MB990938 to press in the differential bearing
outer race into the torque converter housing.

76.Install the torque converter housing to the transaxle case

without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to the
specified torque.

Tightening torque: 48

± 6 N⋅m (35 ± 4 ft-lb)

77.Loosen all the bolts, and remove the torque converter

housing. Then remove the outer race and the crushed
solders.

78.Use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the crushed

solder beads and record the measured value. Add 0.045 to
0.105 mm (0.0018 to 0.0041 inch)* to the measured value
and select a spacer with the corresponding thickness.
Adjustment spacer sizes are all listed on

P.23B-81

. Select

the most suitable one from among those listed.
NOTE: * is the thickness for the differential case preload.

79.Install the spacer selected in step 79 to the torque converter

housing.

80.Use special tools MB990935 <F4A42> or MB990936

<F4A51> and MB990938 to press the outer race into
housing.
