ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Never reuse the outer race.
1. Using the special tool MB991550, Install the outer race of the differential side bearing on the transaxle case.
CAUTION: Never reuse the outer race.
2. Using the special tools MD998812, MD998813 and MD998830, install the outer race of the reduction gear bearing on the transaxle case.
CAUTION:
^ Apply ATF to the bearing so that the interference can be adjusted in a smooth condition.
^ Measure the end play at more than two locations and obtain the average of the measurements.
3. Measure an interference (A) of the reduction gear assembly in the following procedure. Refer to "SERVICE DATA" for the interference of the reduction gear assembly.
(1) Install the reduction gear assembly on the transaxle case.
(2) Set the outer race on the reduction gear bearing.
(3) Measure distance L1 from the outer race to the end face of the transaxle case.
(4) Place a block on the end face of the converter housing and measure distance L2 to the reduction gear taper bearing shim mounting surface.
(5) Calculate distance L3 from the end face of the converter housing to the outer race of the reduction gear assembly from the following formula.
L3 = L2 - Height of block
(6) Calculate the thickness of the reduction gear taper bearing shim from the following formula.
Thickness of reduction gear taper bearing shim = L3 - L1 + Interference
Preload standard value 0.16 - 0.22 mm (0.006 - 0.009 in)
CAUTION: Never reuse the reduction gear taper bearing shim.
