32. Install the special tools.
^ Tighten to 13 Nm (10 lb-ft).





33. Install the special tool with short spacers.





34. Using the special tools, measure the distance from the top of special tool to the No. 12 driven sprocket bearing surface area.
^ Record this as dimension A.





35. Using the special tools, measure the distance from the top of the special tool to the bearing surface on the reverse/overdrive carrier assembly on one side of the turbine shaft.
^ Repeat this measurement on the other side of the turbine shaft 180 degrees from the first measurement.
^ The average of these 2 dimensions is dimension B.
^ Remove the special tools.





36. Subtract dimension B from dimension A to get dimension C.
37. Use dimension C to select the correct No. 11 driven sprocket shim.
^ Select a shim from the driven sprocket shim chart

Driven Sprocket Alignment Shim No. 11 (Part 3):

38. Install and lubricate the following:
1 Lubricate the needles and seals in the No. 18 driven sprocket bearing.
2 Install the selected No. 11 driven sprocket shim.
3 Install the No. 12 driven sprocket bearing.





39. Install the No. 9 reverse/overdrive ring gear thrust bearing.





40. NOTE: Installation of the reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly at this time is for measurement purposes only.

Install the reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly.





41. Install the special tools.
^ Tighten to 13 Nm (10 lb-ft).





42. Install the special tool with short spacers.





43. Using the special tools, measure the distance from the top of the special tool to the face of the reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly surface area.
^ Repeat this measurement 180 degrees from the first measurement.
^ The average of these 2 dimensions is dimension A.
^ Remove the special tools.





44. Subtract 25.4 mm (1.00 in) thickness of the special tool and the thickness of the short spacers.
^ This is the dimension B.

45. Subtract dimension A from dimension B.
^ This is dimension C.

46. Select No. 10 thrust washer from the drive sprocket thrust washer chart.
^ Use dimension C to select the No. 10 drive sprocket thrust washer.

Drive Sprocket Alignment No. 10 Thrust Washer:

47. Use petroleum jelly and install the selected No. 10 drive sprocket thrust washer on the torque converter housing.





48. Remove the reverse/overdrive ring gear assembly.





49. Install the filter and seal assembly.





50. NOTE: Refer to the following illustration for correct tool usage.

Install the special tool in the filter eyelet and transaxle hole.








51. NOTE: Lubricate the filter recirculating regulator exhaust seal before installation.

Using the special tool, install the filter recirculating regulator exhaust seal.





52. Install the chain pan in the transaxle case.





53. Assemble and install the drive chain assembly.
