Bearing (Ring Gear Side) Assembly Note

1. Install the new bearing using the SST.

Bearing (Side Opposite Ring Gear) Assembly Note

1. Install the speedometer drive gear.
2. Install the new bearing using the SST.

Roll Pin Assembly Note

1. Install the new roll pin as shown in the figure to 

hold the pinion shaft.

2. Measure the backlash by the following procedure.

(1) Install the left and right drive shafts in the 

differential component.

(2) Support the drive shaft on V-blocks as shown 

in the figure.

(3) Measure the backlash of both pinion gears.

•

If not as specified, replace worn and 
damage parts.

1. Install the primary and secondary shaft bearing races into the transaxle case (shims removed).
2. Mount the clutch housing onto the transaxle hanger, and set the differential bearing race into the clutch 

housing. Position a piece of pipe against the bearing race and tap it in until it contacts the clutch housing.

3. Set the bearing races into the SSTs (selector) as 

shown in the figure.

Note

•

Turn the selector to eliminate the gap 
indicated by the arrow in the figure.

4. Set the differential component into the clutch 

housing, and set the bearing race and the SST 
(selector) on the differential. Set the SSTs 
(selector) for the primary and secondary shaft in 
the clutch housing.
Mount the shaft gear assemblies as shown in the 
figure.

5. Set the SST (collars) in the positions shown in 

the figure.

6. Install the transaxle case and tighten the SST 

(bolts) to the specified torque.

Tightening torque

37.3—52.0 N·m {3.9—5.3 kgf·m, 28.2—38.3 

ft·lbf}

7. To seat the bearings, mount the SST (bars) on 

parts A and B of the selectors, and turn the 
selectors so the gaps are widened.
Then turn the SST in the reverse direction until 
the gaps are eliminated.

8. Manually expand the selector until it no longer 

turns by hand.

9. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap in the 

SST (selector).

Caution

••••

Measure the gap around the entire 
circumference of the selector.

10. Take the maximum reading and determine the 

shim to used as follows.
Primary shaft adjustment shim

•

Select the thinnest allowable shim from the 
table to obtain standard clearance.

Standard clearance

0—0.05 mm {0—0.002 in}

Example

Reading from step 9: 0.57 mm {0.022 in}

Shim selecting range

(0.57 mm {0.022 in}–0.05 mm {0.002 in})—(0.57 mm {0.022 in}–0 mm {0 in})=0.52 mm {0.020 in}—0.57 

mm {0.022 in}

Shim

0.55 mm {0.022 in}

Secondary shaft adjustment shim

•

Select the thinnest allowable shim from the table to obtain standard clearance.

Tightening amount

0.03—0.08 mm {0.001—0.003 in}

Example

Reading from step 9: 0.57 mm {0.022 in}

Shim selecting range

(0.57 mm {0.022 in}+0.03 mm {0.001 in})—(0.57 mm {0.022 in}+0.08 mm {0.003 in})=0.60 mm {0.024
