CAUTION

When the outer races of reduction gear bearing 
and differential side bearing are removed, meas-
ure the mounting bore diameters of outer race in 
the converter housing and transmission case, 
and replace the housing case or the CVT assem-
bly if the standard value is not satisfied. The 
standard values are listed in "SERVICE SPECIFI-
CATIONS."

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the reverse brake piston.

When installing the snap ring, make sure that 
the joint falls in the area A in the diagram.

6. Using a flat blade screwdriver etc., install the 

snap-ring on the transmission case, and measure 
clearance between the snap ring and retaining 
plate. Select the snap ring so as to obtain 
standard value of the clearance. For selection of 
the snap ring, refer to "SERVICE 
SPECIFICATIONS."

Standard value: 1.2 

− 1.5 mm

(For reverse brake clearance)

CAUTION

• Apply vaseline when installing the needle 

bearing.

•

AK502258

Be careful to attach the needle bearing in 
right direction.

7. Install the needle bearing on the reverse brake 

piston. Refer to A in the "IDENTIFICATION OF 
NEEDLE BEARINGS" for right direction.

8. Install the planet carrier on the reverse brake.

CAUTION

• Apply vaseline when installing the needle 

bearing.

•

AK502247

Be careful to attach the needle bearing in 
right direction.

9. Install the needle bearing on the primary pulley 

side of the sun gear. Refer to B in the 
"IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDLE BEARINGS" for 
right direction.

13.Measure the total axial play A in the following 

way.

(1) Measure the distance M1 from the oil pump 

cover mounting surface of the transmission 
case to the needle bearing mounting surface 
of the forward clutch drum.

M2

AC

(2) Measure the distance M2 from the edge of oil 

pump cover to the mounting surface on the 
transmission case.

(3) Calculate the total axial play by the following 

expression. Select the needle bearing so that 
the total axial play meets its standard value.

Total axial play = M1 

− M2 − bearing thick-

ness
Standard value: 0.25 

− 0.55 mm

(For total axial play)
