(1) Measure distance L1 from the reduction carrier to the end 

face of the transaxle case.

(2) Measure distance L2 from the reduction carrier to the 

reduction sun gear.

(3) Measure distance L3 from the end face of the side cover 

to the end face of the high clutch support area.

(4) Calculate the end play using the following formula.

End play = L3 - (L1 - L2) - Thickness of straight bar - 
Thickness of spacer

(5) Select an appropriate spacer so that the specified end 

play is obtained. Refer to "SERVICE DATA" for selecting 
the spacer.

Standard value: 0.4 

− 0.7 mm (0.02 − 0.03 in)

(For reduction sun gear end play)

CAUTION

Measure the end play at more than two locations and 
obtain the average of the measurements.
37.Measure the side cover end play (A) in the following 

procedure. Refer to "SERVICE DATA" for the specified side 
cover end play (A).

c. Measure distance L6 from the underside of the high 

clutch drum to the contact surface with the needle 
bearing.

d. Calculate L3 using the following formula.

L3 = L5 - (L4 + L6) + Thickness of straight bar

(4) Calculate the end play using the following formula.

End play = L2 - (L1 + L3) - Thickness of needle bearing

(5) Select an appropriate needle bearing so that the 

specified end play is obtained. Refer to "SERVICE DATA" 
for selecting the needle bearing.

Standard value: 0.70 

− 1.05 mm (0.028 − 0.041 in)

(For side cover end play)

38.Install the high clutch assembly.

CAUTION

CAUTION

• Never reuse the spacer.
• Apply vaseline to the spacer and needle bearing before 

installation.

• Ensure that the needle bearing faces the correct direc-

tion.

41.Install an appropriate spacer and the needle bearing on the 

side cover.

CAUTION

• Completely degrease the FIPG-applied surface so that 

water and oil including the old sealant cannot adhere to 
the surface coated with the sealant. Never touch the 
degreased surface by hand.

• Make sure the starting point and the ending point are 

about the middle between the bolts.

42.Apply the sealant to the transaxle case mounting surface of 

the side cover (almost the center line of the surface).

Specified sealant: Three Bond 1216B
