Mainshaft: Testing and Inspection

CLEARANCE MEASUREMENT

NOTE: Lubricate all parts with ATF during assembly.

1. Remove the mainshaft bearing from the transmission housing.





2. Assemble the parts below on the mainshaft.

NOTE: Do not assemble the O-rings during inspection.





3. Torque the mainshaft locknut to 29 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).

NOTE: Mainshaft locknut has left-hand threads.





4. Hold 2nd gear against the 2nd clutch, then measure the clearance between 2nd gear and 3rd gear with a feeler gauge.

NOTE: Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance. Standard: 0.05 - 0.13 mm (0.002 - 0.005 inch)





5. If the clearance is out of tolerance, remove the thrust washer and measure the thickness.





6. Select and install a new washer, then recheck.
7. After replacing the thrust washer, make sure the clearance is within tolerance.
