Secondary Gear Bearing Preload

SECONDARY GEAR BEARING PRELOAD
1. Set the primary gear into the transaxle case.





2. Remove the bearing race and adjustment shim from the converter housing using the SST.





3. Install the funnel and bearing race into the transaxle case.
4. Set the secondary gear and output gear into the transaxle case.





5. Install the bearing race removed in Step 2 into the secondary gear and output gear.





6. Set the SSTs onto the primary gear and secondary gear and output gear.





7. Turn the selector to eliminate the gap between its two halves.





8. Set the six SSTs (collars) on the transaxle case in the position shown.





9. Set the converter housing on the transaxle case and tighten the SSTs (bolts) to the specified torque.

Tightening torque:
19-25 Nm (1.9-2.6 kgf-m, 14-18 ft. lbf.)

10. Turn the SST (selector) to increase the clearance (arrow) using the SSTs (bars), until it no longer turns. This is to seat the bearing race.





11. Turn the selector in the opposite direction until the preload is eliminated (gap is reduced).
12. Insert the joint through the converter housing and attach it the SST installed to the primary gear.

Note:
^ Read the preload when the primary gear starts to turn.
^ Measure several times and calculate the average value.





13. Adjust the clearance of the SST (selector) to obtain the specified preload/pull scale reading.





Preload:
1.5-2.4 Nm (15-25 kgf-cm2, 13-21 in. lbf.)
Reading on pull scale:
15-24 N (1.5-2.5 kgf, 3.3-5.5 lbf.)

Note:
^ Measure the clearance around the entire circumference, and select a shim based on the maximum clearance.
^ The maximum allowable number of adjustment shim is one.

14. Measure the clearance as shown.





15. Take the maximum reading and determine the shim to be used.

Adjustment shim sizes





16. Remove the converter housing and SST (selector).





17. Install the required adjustment shim and tap the bearing race into the converter housing.
18. Install the converter housing.

Tightening torque:
19-25 Nm (1.9-2.6 kgf-m, 14-18 ft. lbf.)

19. Insert the SST (preload adapter) through the converter housing and attach it to the SST.
20. Verify that the preload is within the specification. If not, return to Step 1.

Preload:
1.5-2.4 Nm (15-25 kgf-cm2, 13-21 in. lbf.)
Reading on pull scale:
15-24 N (1.5-2.5 kgf, 3.3-5.5 lbf.)

21. Remove the converter housing.
