2. Install the thinnest spacers in position for measurement.
3. Put a piece of Plastigage [about 10 mm (0.39 in) long] on the
transaxle case at the positions shown in the illustration.
4. Install the bearing outer races.
5. Install the clutch housing to the transaxle case and tighten
the bolts to the specified torque.
6. Remove the clutch housing, then remove the bearing outer
races and take out crushed pieces of Plastigage.
7. If the pieces of Plastigage have not crushed and clearance
measurement is impossible, replace them with thicker ones
and repeat steps 3 to 5.
8. Using the scale printed on the Plastigage package, measure
the width of crushed pieces of Plastigage at their widest
part, select the spacers that provide the standard preload
values and install them.
