Determing No. 4 Thrust Plate Thickness - Input Shaft End Play

Select Thinnest No. 4 Thrust Plate:

To determine the proper thickness of the No. 4 thrust plate, select the thinnest No. 4 thrust plate. Using petrolatum to hold thrust plate in position, install input clutch assembly. Be sure the input clutch assembly is completely seated.

View Through Input Speed Sensor Hole:

CAUTION: If view through input speed sensor hole is not as shown above, the input clutches assembly is not seated properly.

Remove Oil Pump O-Ring:

Remove the oil pump O-ring. You will be able to install and remove the oil pump and gasket very easily to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

NOTE: Use screw-in dowels or phillips-head screwdrivers to align pump to case.

CAUTION: Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

Measure Input Shaft End Play:

Measure the input shaft end play with the transaxle in the vertical position. This will ensure that the measurement will be accurate.

NOTE: Input shaft end play must be 0.005 to 0.025 inch.
For example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select No. 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick. This should provide an input shaft end play reading of 0.020 inch which is within specifications.





See chart illustrated to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate,

Install Input Clutches Assembly:

Install Caged Needle Bearing:

Reinstall the input clutches assembly with the selected~thrust plate.

Install Bypass Valve:

Install Oil Pump Gasket:

Install Oil Pump:

Install Pump Attaching Bolts:

CAUTION: The cooler bypass valve must be replaced if a transaxle failure has occurred. Do not reuse old valve or attempt to clean old valve. When installing bypass valve, insert with O-ring end towards rear of case.

Install Low/Reverse Accumulator:

Install Low/Reverse Accumulator Plug (Cover):

Install Low/Reverse Accumulator Snap Ring:

Accumulator (Underdrive):

Accumulator (Overdrive):

Install Accumulators:

NOTE: Dependent on engine application, some accumulators will have two springs and others will have one spring. The springs are color coded for application and Year.

NOTE: To ease installation of the valve body, turn the manual valve fully clockwise.

Install Valve Body:

Install Valve Body Attaching Bolts:

Install Oil Filter:

Install Oil Pan:

Install Pan Bolts:

CAUTION: Do not handle the valve body from the manual valve. Damage could result.

Install Solenoid Pack:

1. Install transaxle solenoid pack.
2. Install input and output speed sensors.

This concludes the assembly of the transaxle centerline.
