    3. Calculate dimension "J".
      1. "J": Distance between oil pump fitting surface of transmission case and needle bearing mating surface of front sun gear. 
        1. J=K - L 
  2. Measure dimensions "M1" and "M2" and then calculate dimension "M".

    4. Calculate dimension "M".
      1. "M": Distance between trans mission case fitting surface of oil pump and needle bearing on oil pump. 
        1. M = M1 - M2 
  3. Adjust total end play "T1".

    1. 1 = J - M
    2. Total end play "T  1".0.25 - 0.55 mm (0.0098 - 0.0217 in)
    • Select proper thickness of bearing race so that total end play is within specifications.
