Temporarily secure oil pump with 2 oil pump bolts. Insert a small bolt Into end of input shaft. Measure input shaft end play. If end play readings are not within specifications, the transaxle assembly will be damaged.
78. Input shaft end play must be 0.13 to 0.64 mm (0.0051 to 0.0252 inch). Subtract end play specifications from end play readings, Add the result to "test" shim to select proper shim.
For example, if end play reading is 1.40 mm (0.0551 inch), subtract end play specifications. 1.40 mm (0.0551 inch) - 0.13 mm (0.0051 inch) to 0.64 mm (0.0252 inch)] = 1.27 mm to 0.76 mm (0.0500 inch to 0.0299 inch). Add "test" shim. 0.76 mm to 1.27 mm (0.0299 inch to 0.0500 inch) + 0.81 mm (0.0319 inch) = 1.75 mm to 2.08 mm (0.0618 inch to 0.0819 inch).
