ADJUSTMENT OF TRANSAXLETHRUST WASHER SELECTION FOR ADJUSTMENT OF INPUT SHAFT END PLAY
[Measurement using a Solder]
CAUTION
^ If solder is not available, select the thrust washer in accordance with Plastigage method.
^ If the thrust washer appropriate for the standard value cannot be selected using solder, select the thrust washer in accordance with Plastigage method.
1. Put solders (1.0 mm (0.039 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the underdrive clutch retainer.
2. Install the adjusting thrust washer having minimum thickness.
CAUTION
Never use a gasket that has been tightened.
3. Use the special tool MD998412 to install a new oil pump gasket and the oil pump. Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 29 ± 2 N-m (21 ± 2 in-lb)
4. Remove the oil pump mounting bolts.
5. Using special tools MD998333, remove the oil pump and then take out crushed solders.
6. If the solders have not crushed, use thicker thrust washer and repeat steps 3 to 5.
7. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the crushed solder beads and record the measured value.
8. Select the thrust washer, calculated by the following formula, in the table.
T = T1 + T2
T: Clearance mm
T1: The crushed solder thickness mm
T2: The thrust washer thickness used for measurement mm
Available thrust washer
[Measurement using Plastigage]
1. Put plastigage (about 10 mm (0.039 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the underdrive clutch retainer.
2. Install the adjusting thrust washer having the minimum thickness.
CAUTION
Never use a gasket that has been tightened.
3. Use the special tool MD998412 to install a new oil pump gasket and the oil pump. Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 29 ± 2 N-m (21 ± 1 ft-lb)
4. Remove the oil pump mounting bolts.
5. Using special tools MD998333, remove the oil pump and then take out crushed Plastigages.
6. If the plastigages have not crushed, use thicker adjusting thrust washer and repeat steps 3 to 5.
7. Measure the width of the crushed plastigage at its widest part using a scale printed on the plastigage package.
8. Select the thrust washer, calculated by the following formula, in the table.
T = T3 + T2
T: Clearance mm
T3: The crushed plastigage thickness mm
T2: The thrust washer thickness used for measurement mm
Available thrust washer
SPACER SELECTION FOR ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENTIAL CASE PRELOAD
[Measurement using a Solder]
CAUTION
^ If solder is not available, select the spacer in accordance with Plastigage method.
^ If the spacer appropriate for the standard value cannot be selected using solder, select the spacer in accordance with Plastigage method.
1. Put solders (1.0 mm (0.039 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the converter housing.
2. Use special tools MB991445 to press the outer race into housing.
3. Install the torque converter housing to the transaxle case without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 48 ± 6 N-m (35 ± 4 ft-lb)
4. Remove the bolts and converter housing, and take out the solder pieces.
5. If the solders have not crushed, use thicker solders (1.6 mm (0.063 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) and repeat steps 2 to 4.
6. Measure the thickness of the crushed solder with a micrometer, and then select a spacer that will provide the standard value.
Spacer thickness: (T1 - 0.045 mm (0.0018 inch) to (T1 - 0.105 mm (0.0041 inch)
T1: The crushed solder thickness mm (inch)
Standard value: 0.045 - 0.105 mm (0.0018 - 0.0041 inch)
(For differential case preload)
[Measurement using Plastigage]
1. Put plastigage (about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the converter housing.
2. Install the adjusting spacer having the minimum thickness.
3. Use special tools MB991445 to press the outer race into housing.
4. Install the torque converter housing to the transaxle case without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 48 ± 6 N-m (35 ± 4 ft-lb)
5. Remove the bolts and converter housing, and take out crushed plastigage.
6. If the plastigages have not crushed, replace the spacer with a thicker one and repeat steps 3 to 5.
7. Measure the width of the crushed plastigage at its widest part using a scale printed on the plastigage package, and then select a spacer that will provide the standard value.
Spacer thickness: (T3 - 0.045 mm (0.0018 inch) to (T3 - 0.105 mm (0.0041 inch)
T3: The crushed plastigage thickness mm (inch)
Standard value: 0.045 - 0.105 mm (0.0018 - 0.0041 inch)
(For differential case preload)
