Mainshaft End Play

MAINSHAFT END PLAY





^ When adjusting the mainshaft end play, select the adjusting shim for the mainshaft rear bearing. To select the adjusting shim, measure clearance "M" between the transaxle case and mainshaft rear bearing.
^ Calculate the dimension "P" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the procedure to meet specification of end play for mainshaft rear bearing.
End play: 0 - 0.06 mm (0 - 0.0024 inch)
Dimension "P" = "M" - End play
"P": Thickness of adjusting shim
"M": Distance between mainshaft rear bearing and transaxle case

CAUTION: Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.





Adjusting Shim

1. Install the mainshaft assembly to the clutch housing.
2. Install the snap ring to the transaxle case.
3. Install the transaxle case to clutch housing, and temporarily assemble them with bolts. Temporarily install the snap ring to the mainshaft rear bearing.





4. Install the dial gauge to the snap ring access hole, and expand the snap ring as shown. Lift the mainshaft assembly through the control assembly installation hole, and push it against the transaxle case. This state shall be defined as base. Moving the distance of the mainshaft assembly, with the snap ring installed on the main bearing, becomes "M".
