Preload Adjustment Procedure




1. Shift the transmission into any gear.
2. Attach DT-48636 - holder to the output flange.
3. Use DT-48636 - holder in order to prevent the output flange from rotating. Install and tighten the output flange nut. Tighten until the looseness is minimum.




4. Verify looseness by shaking the output shaft longitudinally.




5. Remove DT-48636 - holder from the output flange.
6. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
7. Rotate the output flange several times in order to break in the gears, synchronizers and bearings.
8. Measure the rotational torque/drag torque of the output flange by using a suitable tool. Record this initial rotational torque measurement as value A.




9. Attach DT-48636 - holder to the output flange.
10. Shift the transmission into any gear.
11. Tighten the nut 220-565 Nm (162-417 lb ft).
12. Remove the DT-48636 - holder from the output flange.
13. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
14. Rotate the output flange several times in order to seat the bearings.
15. Measure the rotational torque/drag torque of the output flange by using a suitable tool. Record this measurement as value B.
16. Subtract value A from value B. Verify that the resulting measurement is within the specified range.

The rotational torque specification is 0.45-1.35 Nm (4-12 lb in).

17. Repeat the previous steps until you have confirmed that the rotational torque specification is reached then stake the nut in place. If the rotational torque requirement has been exceeded, replace the spacer and repeat steps 2-16.




18. Install the output sensor (213) and bolt (215) into the rear extension housing and tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb in).




19. Install a NEW backup lamp washer (208) and switch into the case. Tighten the switch to 44 Nm (32 lb ft).




20. Install the NEW gaskets (33), drain plug (34) and fill plug (79). Tighten both plugs to 37 Nm (27 lb ft).
21. Install the clutch release cylinder and the clutch release cylinder bolts. Refer to Clutch Concentric Actuator Cylinder Replacement (Aisin) (Clutch Concentric Actuator Cylinder Replacement (Aisin))Clutch Concentric Actuator Cylinder Replacement (Tremec) (Clutch Concentric Actuator Cylinder Replacement (Tremec)).




22. Remove the DT-47678 - fixture (2) and J 3289-20 - fixture (1) from the transmission clutch housing.
