2. Install the bearing race into the transaxle case.

3. Set the differential on the transaxle case.

4. Turn the selector to eliminate the gap between its 

two halves.

5. Install the bearing race removed in Step 1 into the 

SST.

6. Set the differential on the SST (selector).

7. Set the six SSTs (collars) on the transaxle case in 

the position shown.

8. Set the converter housing on the transaxle case 

and tighten the SSTs (bolts) to the specified 
torque.

Tightening torque

19—25 N·m {1.9—2.6 kgf·m, 14—18 ft·lbf}

9. Turn the SST (selector) to increase the clearance 

(arrow) using the SSTs (bars), until it no longer 
turns. This is to seat the bearing race.

10. Turn the selector in the opposite direction until the 

preload is eliminated (gap is reduced).

11. Insert the SST through the converter housing and 

attach it to the pinion shaft.

12. Install the SST and a pull scale or torque wrench.

Note

• Read the preload when the differential starts 

to turn.

• Measure several times and calculate the 

average value.

13. Adjust the clearance of the SST (selector) to 

obtain the specified preload/pull scale reading.

Preload:
1.4—2.3 N·m {14—24 kgf·cm, 12—20 in·lbf}
Reading on pull scale:
14—23 N {1.4—2.4 kgf, 3.1—5.3 lbf}

Note

• Measure the clearance around the entire 

circumference, and select a shim based on 
the maximum clearance.

• The maximum allowable number of 

adjustment shim is one.

14. Measure the clearance as shown.

15. Take the maximum reading and determine the 

shim to be used.

Adjustment shim sizes

mm {in}

16. Remove the converter housing and SST (selector).
17. Install the required adjustment shim and tap the 

bearing race into the converter housing.

18. Install the converter housing.

Tightening torque

19—25 N·m {1.9—2.6 kgf·m, 14—18 ft·lbf} 

19. Install the SST to the pinion shaft through the 

converter housing.

Note

• Measure several times and calculate the 

average value.

20. Verify that the preload is within the specification. If not, return to Step 1.

Preload

1.4—2.3 N·m {14—24 kgf·cm, 12—20 in·lbf}

Reading on pull scale

14—23 N {1.4—2.4 kgf, 3.1—5.3 lbf}

21. Remove the converter housing.

Precaution
General notes

1. Select the adjustment shims, referring to Bearing Preload.
2. If the drive plates or 2-4 brake band are replaced with new ones, soak the new part in ATF for at least two hours 

before installation.

3. Before assembly, apply ATF to all seal rings, rotating parts, O-rings, and sliding parts.
4. All O-rings, seals, and gaskets must be replaced with the new ones included in the overhaul kit.
5. Use petroleum jelly, not grease, when assembling again.
6. When it is necessary to replace a bushing, replace the subassembly that includes that bushing.
7. Assemble the housing within 10 minutes after applying sealant, and allow it to cure for at least 30 minutes after 

assembly before filling the transaxle with ATF.

Warning

• Although the stand has a self-locking brake system, there is a possibility that the brake may not 

hold when the transaxle is held in a lopsided position on the stand. This would cause the transaxle 
to turn suddenly, causing serious injury. Never keep the transaxle tilted to one side. Always hold 
the rotating handle firmly when turning the transaxle.
