PRIMARY SHAFT END PLAY ADJUSTMENT

AME511201029M07

Note

•

Adjust the primary shaft end play by measuring the clearance between the transaxle case and the primary 
shaft rear bearing, and selecting a primary shaft bearing adjustment shim.

•

Calculate adjustment shim thickness O as 
defined below to adjust the primary shaft 
bearing end play to standard value.

Standard value: 0.00—0.06 mm 

{0.0000—0.0024 in}

Dimension O = (O1 - O2) + end play

O: adjustment shim thickness
O1: transaxle case contact face and 

adjustment shim installation surface 
dimension

O2: clutch housing contact face and 

primary shaft rear bearing contact face 
dimension

Adjustment shim thickness

(mm {in})

1. Measure dimension O1 for the clutch housing 

installation surface of the transaxle case and the 
adjustment shim installation surface using a 
depth gauge and straight edge.

2. Measure dimension O2 for the transaxle case 

installation surface of the clutch housing and the 
primary shaft rear bearing contact face using a 
depth gauge and straight edge.

Note

•

Select only one adjustment shim.

3. Install the selected primary shaft rear bearing 

adjustment shim in the primary shaft component.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE 

SECONDARY SHAFT END PLAY ADJUSTMENT

AME511201029M08

Note

•

Adjust the secondary shaft end play by measuring clearance M between the transaxle case and the 
secondary shaft rear bearing, and selecting a secondary shaft bearing adjustment shim.

•

Calculate adjustment shim thickness P as 
defined below to adjust the secondary shaft 
bearing end play to standard value.

Standard value: 0.00—0.06 mm 

{0.0000—0.0024 in}

Dimension P = M + end play

P: adjustment shim thickness
M: transaxle case contact face and 

secondary shaft rear bearing contact

Adjustment shim thickness

(mm {in})

1. Install the secondary shaft component to the clutch housing.
2. Install the snap ring to the transaxle case.
3. Attach the transaxle case to the clutch housing, and temporarily install installation bolts. Temporarily attach the 

snap ring to the secondary shaft rear bearing.

4. Set a dial gauge to the secondary shaft rear bearing through the snap ring installation hole.
5. While expanding the snap ring, lift the secondary shaft component through the control component installation 

hole until it contacts the transaxle case.

6.  Release the secondary shaft component so that 

it moves back down and the snap ring resets to 
the secondary shaft rear bearing. Dimension M is 
the measured distance that the secondary shaft 
component moves. 

Note

•

Select only one adjustment shim.

7. Install the selected primary shaft rear bearing 

adjustment shim in the primary shaft component.
