Basic Subassembly Reassembly

BASIC SUBASSEMBLY REASSEMBLY

Reassembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

HINT:
- Before assembly, select a shim by adjusting output shaft preload.
- Coat all of the sliding and rotating surfaces with gear oil before assembly.

1. Adjust output shaft preload.
a. Install the output shaft assembly to the transaxle case.
b. install the transmission case to the transaxle case.

HINT: If necessary, tap on the case with a plastic hammer.

c. Install and torque the 17 bolts.
Torque: 29 N.m (22 ft. lbs.)
d. Install the output shaft rear taper roller bearing outer race.
e. Install the adjusting shim.

HINT: When reusing the output shaft bearing, first install a shim of the same thickness as before. If installing a new taper roller bearing, first select and install a shim of lesser thickness than before.

f. Install the rear bearing retainer.
g. Using a torx wrench (T45), install and torque the 7 torx screws.
Torque: 42 N.m (31 ft. lbs.)
h. Install a new lock nut to the output shaft.





i. Turn the output shaft right and left 2 or 3 times to allow the bearing to settle.
j. Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
Preload (at starting):
- New bearing: 0.8 - 1.6 N.m (6.9 - 13.9 inch lbs.)
- Reused bearing: 0.5-1.0 N.m (4.3 - 8.7 inch lbs.)





If the preload is not within the specification, select an appropriate adjusting shim.
The preload will change about 0.4 - 0.5 N.m (3.5 - 4.3 inch lbs.) for every 0.05 mm change in adjusting shim thickness.
k. Remove the lock nut.
l. Remove these parts. Removal is in the reverse order of installation.
- Rear bearing retainer
- Shim
- Transmission case
- Output shaft assembly
- Output shaft rear bearing outer race
