Output Gear Bearing Preload

Align the bearing cover with guide bolts as shown.
Press the bearing cover in using the SST .

Fig 1: Installing Bearing Cover
Remove the guide bolts and install the bearing cover installation bolts.
Tightening Torque
1. 10.8-13.7 N.m {110-140 kgf.cm, 96-121 in.lbf}
Mount the converter housing onto the SST (transaxle hanger).
Remove the bearing race and adjustment shims from the bearing housing using a pin punch and a hammer.
Set the output gear into the converter housing.

Fig 2: Installing Output Gear Into Converter Housing
Install the bearing race removed in Step 5 to the selector, and install the selector and bearing race to the output gear.
Turn the selector to eliminate the gap between its two halves.

Fig 3: Installing Selector & Bearing Race To Output Gear
Set the SST (collars) in the position shown.

Fig 4: Installing SST (Collars)
Set the bearing housing on the SST (selector) and install the SST (bolts). Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening Torque:
1. 27.4-34.3 N.m {2.79-3.5 kgf.m, 20.2-25.3 ft.lbf}
Fig 5: Installing SST (Bolts)
Turn the SST (selector) to increase the clearance (arrow) with the SST (bars) until it no longer turns.
Turn the selector in the opposite direction until the preload is eliminated (gap is reduced).

Fig 6: Turning Selector To Eliminate Preload
Mount the SSTs and a pull scale or a torque wrench on the output gear.
Adjust the clearance of the SST (selector) to obtain the specified preload/pull scale reading.
1. Preload:
  1. 0.9-1.6 N.m {9-17 kgf.cm, 7.9-14.7 in.lbf}
Reading on pull scale.
1. 9-16 N.m {0.9-1.7 kgf, 2.0-3.7 lbf}
Fig 7: Checking Preload Using Pull Scale

Fig 8: Checking Preload Using Torque Wrench
NOTE:
- Measure the clearance around the entire circumference, and select shims equivalent to the maximum clearance.
- The maximum allowable number of adjustment shims is seven.
Measure the gap between A and B around the circumference of the SST (selector) using a feeler gauge.

Take the maximum reading and determine the shims to be used. Use no more than one shim.

Install the output gear and idle gear.
Install the bearing housing.
Tightening Torque:
1. 27.4-34.3 N.m {2.79-3.5 kgf.m, 20.2-25.3 ft.lbf}
Verify that the preload/pull scale reading is within the specification.
- If not, return to step 5.
