a. Using dial gauge as shown in the figure, measure dimension
ªP1º between transaxle case end face and mainshaft rear
bearing.
b. Using dial gauge as shown in the figure, measure dimension
ªP2º between adjusting shim mounting face of rear cover and
transaxle mounting face.
16. Using snap ring pliers as shown in the figure, install snap ring.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse snap ring.
17. Install selected mainshaft adjusting shim.
18. Install reverse idler gear, O-ring, thrust washers (front, rear),
and bearing onto reverse idler shaft.
19. Install snap ring into transaxle case using snap ring pliers.
CAUTION:
IDo not reuse snap ring.
IDo not reuse O-ring.
IBefore installation, apply gear oil to O-ring.
20. Using feeler gauge, measure the end play of snap ring, and
select a snap ring suitable to satisfy the following specification.
End play:
0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.0020 - 0.0098 in)
Available snap ring:
Refer to SDS, MT-90.
