ADJUSTMENT OF TRANSAXLE

THRUST WASHER SELECTION FOR ADJUSTMENT OF INPUT SHAFT END PLAY
[Measurement using a Solder]

CAUTION
^ If solder is not available, select the thrust washer in accordance with Plastigage method.
^ If the thrust washer appropriate for the standard value cannot be selected using solder, select the thrust washer in accordance with Plastigage method.





1. Put solders 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long in the illustrated positions of the underdrive clutch retainer.
2. Install the adjusting thrust washer having minimum thickness.

CAUTION
Never use a gasket that has been tightened.





3. Use the special tool Guide (MD998412) to install a new oil pump gasket and the oil pump. Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 29 ± 2 Nm (21 ± 1 ft-lb)
4. Remove the oil pump mounting bolts.





5. Using special tools IVID998333, remove the oil pump and then take out crushed solders.
6. If the solders have not crushed, use thicker thrust washer and repeat steps 3 to 5.





7. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the crushed solder beads and record the measured value.
8. Select the thrust washer, calculated by the following formula, in the table.
T=T1 +T2
T: Clearance mm
T1: The crushed solder thickness mm
T2: The thrust washer thickness used for measurement mm

7. Measure the width of the crushed plastigage at its widest part using a scale printed on the plastigage package.
8. Select the thrust washer, calculated by the following formula, in the table.
T = T3 + T2
T: Clearance mm
T3: The crushed plastigage thickness mm
T2: The thrust washer thickness used for measurement mm
