MODEL 1983-1984 Cordia/Tredia
INTRODUCTION
This bulletin is issued to clarify the procedure for installing the proper thickness selective spacer when reassembling the 1983 and 1984 Cordia/Tredia 5-speed manual transaxle. Please attach orange labels to page 21-42 of the 1983 and 1984 Cordia/Tredia Service Manuals.
FIGURE 1:
PROCEDURE
1. Shift the transaxle into Neutral.
2. Clean any oil off the selective spacer and the area of the transaxle case where the selective spacer is to be installed. See Fig. 1.
FIGURE 2:
3. Insert a 1.5 mm spacer (p.n. MD704820) between the 5th speed shift lug and the transaxle case. Measure the clearance between the 3-4 shift lug and the 5th speed shift lug. See Fig. 2. It should be between 0.1 and 0.5 mm (.004-.020 in). If not, select a thicker or thinner selective spacer from the part numbers on page 2 of this bulletin.
Note: Too little clearance could cause the 5th speed shift lug to bind. Too much clearance could cause the control finger to engage both the reverse shift rail and the 5th speed shift lug when shifting into reverse.
FIGURE 3:
4. Apply grease to the selective spacer to hold it in place during assembly, and slip it between the transaxle case and the 5th speed lug as shown in Fig. 3.
5. Check to be sure the selective spacer edge is parallel to the edge of the transaxle case, then proceed with the installation as described on pages 21-43 through 21-45.
Caution: To avoid disturbing the selective spacer, do not attempt to check the operation of the shift lever or lugs until the transaxle is assembled.
