20. Using the DT 46461 and a small torque wrench, measure the preload of the differential gear. See Special
Tools.
Specifications:
New bearing preload is 0.78-1.37 N.m (6.9-12.2 lb in).
Used bearing preload is 0.39-0.69 N.m (3.5-6.1 lb in).
21. Re-select the transaxle case side adjusting the shim according to the shim thickness table. Refer to
Transmission General Specifications
.
IMPORTANT: If the preload is not within specifications, remove the differential from the
transaxle case.

TRANSMISSION GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The new automatic transmission AISIN (81-40LE) is an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic
transmission with lock-up mechanism.
The transmission is mainly composed of the torque converter with lock up clutch, newly developed 4-speed
planetary gear unit, the hydraulic control system and the electric control system.
Hydraulic Control System
Based on the hydraulic pressure created by the oil pump, the TCM sends signals to the solenoid and the
hydraulic control system governs the hydraulic pressure acting on the torque converter, planetary gear, clutches,
and brakes in accordance with the vehicle driving conditions.
Function of Components
NOTE: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when performing diagnostic
procedures could result in incorrect diagnostic performance or damage to
powertrain components. Do not attempt to diagnose a powertrain problem
without this basic knowledge.
