CAUTION

• Do not re-use the outer race.
• Replace the outer race together with the inner race.

24.Using the special tool MB990780, install the outer race of 

differential side bearing on the transaxle case.

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the outer race.
• Replace the outer race together with the inner race.

25.Using the special tools MB990932 and MB990938, install 

the outer race of reduction gear bearing on the converter 
housing.

CAUTION

• When adjusting the preload, apply transmission fluid to 

the bearing to make it roll smoothly.

• When conducting measurements, measure two or more 

places, and find the average value.

26.Measure the preload A of the reduction gear assembly in 

the following way.

(1) Measure the distance M7 from the edge of transaxle case 

to the mounting surface of adjusting shim.

(2) Install the reduction gear assembly on the converter 

housing, and measure the distance M8 from the edge of 
reduction gear assembly to the edge of converter 
housing.

(3) Install the outer race of reduction gear side bearing on 

the bearing, and measure the distance M9 from the edge 
of reduction gear assembly to the outer race of reduction 
gear bearing.

(4) Using the following expression, calculate the difference 

M10 from the outer race of reduction gear bearing to the 
edge of converter housing.

M10 = M8 

− M9

(5) Using the following expression, calculate the thickness of 

adjusting shim.

Thickness of adjusting shim = M7 

− M10 + preload

Standard value: 0.11 

− 0.17 mm (0.004 − 0.006 in)

(For reduction gear preload)

CAUTION

Do not re-use the adjusting shim.
27.Install the selected adjusting shim on the transaxle case. 

For selection of the adjusting shim, refer to "SERVICE 
SPECIFICATIONS."

case.

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the lip seal.

29.Install the lip seal on the transaxle case.

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the O-rings.
• Apply transmission fluid when installing the O-rings.

30.Install the O-rings on the oil pump fastening bolts.

31.Install the oil pump on the transaxle case and tighten the 

bolt to the specified torque. (One fastening bolt is installed at 
the backside from the transaxle case side. Only this bolt 
should be tightened to the specified torque of 28 N

⋅m [21 

ft-lb].)

Tightening torque: 19 N

⋅m (14 ft-lb)

CAUTION

Do not re-use the snap ring.
32.Install the snap ring on the oil pump.

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the lip seal.
• Apply transmission fluid or vaseline when installing the 

lip seal.

33.Install the lip seal on the transaxle case.
