2. Measure the side clearance of the ATF pump drive gear (A) and the driven gear (B).

   ATF Pump Gears Side (Radial) Clearance: 

   Standard (New): 

   ATF Pump Drive Gear: 

   0.210-0.265 mm (0.0083-0.0104 in.) 

   ATF Pump Driven Gear: 

   0.070-0.125 mm (0.0028-0.0049 in.)

3. Remove the ATF pump driven gear shaft. Measure the thrust clearance between the ATF pump driven gear (A) and the valve body (B) using a straight edge (C) and a feeler gauge (D).

ATF Pump Drive/Driven Gear Thrust (Axial) 

Clearance: 

Standard (New): 0.03-0.06 mm (0.001-0.002 in.) 

Service Limit: 0.07 mm (0.003 in.)
