50.Measure the end play of the under drive sun gear by the

following procedures:

(1) Install the thinnest thrust race number 8 [thickness 1.6

mm (0.063 inch); part number MD707267] on thrust
bearing number 7.

(2) Install the rear cover on the transaxle case and tighten

the bolts to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 23
