Transaxle
Disassembled Views
26. NOTICE: Be sure to install the No. 3 thrust bearing with the flat side facing down or damage to the transaxle can occur.
Install the No. 3 thrust bearing with the flat side facing down.
27. Install the direct/intermediate clutch hub and rear sun gear assembly.
28. Install the intermediate (2, 6) wave spring assembly.
29. Soak the intermediate (2, 6) clutch assembly in clean transmission fluid.
30. Install the intermediate (2, 6) clutch assembly, temporarily reversing the top friction and steel plates for the clutch stack-up measurement.
31. Install the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 on the transaxle case.
32. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement A, the distance from the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the top of the intermediate (2, 6) clutch pack at 3 different points and average the 3 distances.
33. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement B, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the transaxle case step above the intermediate (2, 6) clutch.
34. Subtract measurement B from measurement A The clearance should be between 0.240 mm (0.009 in) and 2.60 mm (0.102 in). If the clearance is out of range, check the intermediate (2, 6) clutch pack for correct installation. If the intermediate (2, 6) clutch pack is correctly installed, install a new clutch pack.
35. NOTE: When the intermediate (2, 6) clutch is correctly installed, a friction plate is on top.
Remove the top intermediate (2, 6) clutch friction and steel plate and correctly install the plates back in the transaxle case.
36. Install the One-Way Clutch (OWC) assembly.
37. Install the rear planetary carrier/center ring gear assembly.
38. NOTE: Note the position of the low/reverse pressure plate. When installing the center support, the long support legs must fit through the low/reverse pressure plate and rest on the OWC.
Position the low/reverse pressure plate so that the center support legs fit through the pressure plate and rest on the OWC and install the low/reverse pressure plate.
39. Soak the low/reverse clutch in clean automatic transmission fluid.
40. Align the low/reverse clutch pack with the pressure plate and install it in the transaxle case temporarily reversing the wave spring and top steel plate.
41. Install the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 on the side of the center support with the long support legs.
42. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement A, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the contact surface of the low/reverse clutch piston.
43. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement B, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the leg surface of the center support.
44. Subtract measurement B from measurement A and record as measurement C.
45. Install the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 on the transaxle case.
46. Using a suitable depth micrometer, measure and record as measurement D, the distance from the Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the top of the OWC.
47. Using a suitable depth gauge, measure and record as measurement E, the distance from the top of Shim Selection Gauge 307-300 to the top of the low/reverse clutch at 3 different points and average the 3 distances.
48. Subtract measurement E from measurement D and record as measurement F.
49. Subtract measurement F from measurement C to get the low/reverse clutch clearance. The clearance should be between 0.406 mm (0.015 in) and 2.000 mm (0.078 in). If the clearance is out of range, check the low/reverse clutch pack for correct installation. If the low/reverse clutch pack is correctly installed, install a new clutch pack.
50. NOTE: When the low/reverse clutch is correctly installed, the wave spring is on top.
Remove the top low/reverse clutch steel plate and wave spring and correctly install the plates back in the transaxle case.
