1. Install the primary and secondary shaft bearing out-
er races into the transaxle case (diaphragm springs 
and shims removed). 
2. After mounting the clutch housing onto the trans-
axle hanger, and set the differential bearing outer 
race into the clutch housing, and tap in with a ham-
mer until it contacts the clutch housing, and tap 
in with a hammer until it contacts the clutch 
housing. 
3. Assemble the outer races into the SST (selector) 
as shown in the figure. 
Note 
Turn the selector to eliminate the gap indicat-
ed by the arrow in the figure. 
4. Set the differential assembly onto the clutch hous-
ing, then mount the bearing outer race and the 
selector on the differential. 
Set the assembled selectors for the primary and 
secondary shaft in the clutch housing. 
Mount the shaft gear assemblies as shown in the 
figure. 
5. Set the SST (collars) in the positions shown in the 
figure.

To seat the bearings, mount the SST (bars) on 
parts ©and (§)of the selector, and then turn the 
selector so the gap is widened. 
Then turn it in the reverse direction until the gap 
is eliminated. 
Manually expand the selector until the selector no 
longer turns by hand. 
Note 
Check that each shaft turns smoothly. 
Use a feeler gauge and measure the gap in the 
selector. 
Note 
Measure the gap around the entire circumfer-
ence of the selector. 
Take the maximum reading and determine the 
shim to be used as follows: 
< Primary shaft adjust shim > 
• Subtract the diaphragm spring thickness (0.70 
mm, 0.0276 in) from the gap determined in the 
step 9. 
• Select the closest thinner shim from the table. 
Example 
1.22 mm (0.0480 in)—0.70 mm (0.0276 in) = 
0.52 mm (0.0204 in) 
Shim: 0.50 mm (0.020 in) 
< Secondary shaft adjust shim > 
• Subtract the diaphragm spring thickness (0.70 
mm, 0.0276 in) from the gap determined in the 
step 9. 
• Select the closest thicker shim from the table. 
Example 
1.22 mm (0.0480 in)—0.70 mm (0.0276 in) = 
0.52 mm (0.0204 in) 
Shim: 0.55 mm (0.022 in) 
Note 
Use a maximum of two shims.

12. Adjust the selector with the SST until the specified 
preload is obtained. 
Preload: 
0.5 N-m (5 cm-kg, 4.3 in-lb) 
13. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap in the selec-
tor for the differential. 
Note 
Measure the gap around the entire circumfer-
ence of the selector 
76G07A-042 
14. Add 0.15 mm (0.0059 in) to the measured clear-
ance and select the combination of shims whose 
thickness added is nearest higher than that valve. 
See the table for available shim sizes. 
Example: 0.32 mm (0.013 in) 
0.32 mm (0.013 in) + 0.15 mm (0.006 in) = 
0.47 mm (0.019 in). 
So the nearest shim (on the thick side) to 0.47 
mm (0.019 in) is 0.50 mm (0.020 in). 
Note 
Use a maximum of two shims. 
15. Remove the SST and transaxle case. 
16. Remove the primary shaft assembly and the 
differential. 
17. Remove the bearing outer races.
