2. Place manual control lever in “N” (Neutral) position.
3.To adjust, rotate the switch body so that the manual controllever 5 mm
(2 in.) hole and the switch body 5 mm (.2 in.)
hole are aligned.
4.Tighten the mounting bolts of the inhibitor switch body to
the specified torque. At this time, take care to prevent
dropping the switch body.
Specified torque:
lo-12 Nm (7-9 ftlbs.)
5.Loosen the nut shown in the figure, and lightly pull the end
of the transaxle control cable in the “F” direction by hand.
6. Tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
IO-14 Nm (7-10 ftlbs.)7. Check that the selector lever is in “N” position.

automatic transmission fluid lightly to outside surface of
O-ring.e59. Install oil pump assembly by tightening six bolts evenly.
i-When installing this oil pump assembly, be careful that
thrust washer will not drop.
60. Check input shaft end play. Readjust if necessary (see step
53).Standard value
: 0.3-1.0 mm (.012-,040 in.)
61, Apply solder [length approx. 10 mm (40 in.) and diameter
1.6 mm (.06 in.) to the differential assembly at the locationsshown in the illustration.

-4--J62. Install the converter housing without gasket.
Caution
Don’t reuse the rubber coated metal gasket which has
been used once.
63. Tighten bolts to specification.
64. Loosen the bolts and remove the converter housing in
order to remove the pieces of solder. If the solder is not
broken, carry out the work in steps (61) to (64) with large
diameter solder.
65. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the flattned
solder.Select the spacer in the following manner according to
measurement.Add the thickness
[0.38 mm (015 in.)] of the rubber coated
metal gasket and the end play
LO-O.1 5 mm (O-.006 in.)] ofi4the differential case to the measurement
(T). Select a -spacer which is in the calculated range, In other words,
select a spacer whose thickness is in the range of n+ 0.38mm
(.015 in.)] to [T+ 0.38 mm (.015 in.) - 0.15 mm (.006
in.)].

(R.H.)/ 17. DRIVE SHAFT
(L.H.) Refer to
P.21-227.16. REMOVAL OF DRIVE SHAFT (R.H.)

(1) Use the suitable tool to push out the drive shaft (R.H.]from the front hub.
I1 lA0288(2) Insert a pry bar at the projection part and remove the
drive shaft
(R.H.) from the transaxle.
Caution
Do not pull out the drive shaft; doing so will
damage the T.J.; be sure to use the pry bar.
17. DISCONNECTION OF DRIVE SHAFT (L.H.)

(1) Take out the drive shaft by lightly tapping the drive shaftT.J. case with a plastic hammer.
NOTERemove the drive shaft with the hub and knuckle, etc.,
as an assembly.
Caution
1. Removing the drive shaft from the outboard
joint side can cause damage to the inboard joint.Always use a plastic hammer, etc., to remove
the drive shaft.
2. Tapping on the center bearing can damage it.
Never tap on the bearing.
(2) Keep the removed drive shaft as far away from the
transaxle case as possible, and secure (by using rope,
etc.) the joints to the body so that it does not fall.

PINION/G. PINION SHAFT(1) First assemble the spacer on the rear of the side gear
&aand then assemble the gear in the differential case.
.--(2) Assemble the washer on the rear of the pinion, and
position in the designated place by rotating the two sidegears at the same time so they mesh.
(3) Insert the pinion shaft.
(4) Measure the backlash between the side gear and
pinion.Standard value:
0.025-0.150 mm (.OOl-.0059 in.)(5) If backlash is outside the standard value, select a
spacer, disassemble the gear again, reassemble and
adjust.
NOTELd
Adjust so backlash in both side gears is the same.

22-6WHEELS AND TIRES - Wheel and Tire
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALUMINUM TYPE
WHEELSUzzGfM
1. Aluminum is vulnerable to alkalies. If a vehicle
washing detergent has been used, or salt from
sea water or road chemicals has adhered, washthe vehicle as soon as possible. After washing
the vehicle, apply body or wheel wax to the
aluminum type wheels to prevent corrosion.
2. When cleaning the vehicle with steam, do not
direct steam onto the aluminum type wheels.
When tightening nuts for aluminum type
wheels, particularly observe the following:
(1) Clean the hub surface of aluminum type
wheels.(2) After finger-tightening wheel nuts, tighten
them to specifications.
(3) Do not use an impact wrench or push the
wrench by foot to tighten the wheel nuts.
(4) Do not apply oil to the threaded portions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIRE CHAINS AND
SNOW TIRESNZZGGAA
1.Use tire chains only on front wheels. Do not usetire chains on rear wheels.
2. When using snow tires, use them on all four
wheels for maneuverability and safety.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPACT SPARE
TIRE;c.1. The compact spare tire is designed to. save
space in the luggage compartment, and its
L’lighter weight makes it easier to use if a fiat tire
occurs.
2.The following instructions for the compact sparetire should be observed.
(1) Check the inflation pressure after installing
the spare, and adjust to the specified pres-
sure.(2) Avoid driving through automatic car washes
and over obstacles that could possibly dam-
age the vehicle’s undercarriage. Because
the tire is smaller than the original tire, car
ground clearance is slightly reduced.
(3) The compact spare tire should not be used
on any other wheels, nor should standard
tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings
be used with the compact spare wheel. If
such use is attempted, damage to these
items or other vehicle components may
occur.
