Primary Shaft End Play Adjustment

PRIMARY SHAFT END PLAY ADJUSTMENT

Note:
^ Adjust the primary shaft end play by measuring the clearance between the transaxle case and the primary shaft rear bearing, and selecting a primary shaft bearing adjustment shim.





^ Calculate adjustment shim thickness O as defined below to adjust the primary shaft bearing end play to standard value.

Standard value: 0 - 0.06 mm (0 - 0.0024 in)
Dimension O = (O1 - O2) - end play
O: adjustment shim thickness
O1: transaxle case contact face and adjustment shim installation surface dimension
O2: clutch housing contact face and primary shaft rear bearing contact face dimension

Adjustment shim thickness








1. Measure dimension O1 for the clutch housing installation surface of the transaxle case and the adjustment shim installation surface using a depth gauge and straight edge.





2. Measure dimension O2 for the transaxle case installation surface of the clutch housing and the primary shaft rear bearing contact face using a depth gauge and straight edge.

Note: Select only one adjustment shim.

3. Install the selected primary shaft rear bearing adjustment shim in the primary shaft component.
