DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, & ASSEMBLY

When disassembling the transaxle it is necessary

to inspect the oil pump for wear and damage.

(1) Remove the reaction shaft support bolts.
(2) Remove reaction shaft support from pump

housing (Fig. 222).

(3) Remove the pump gears (Fig. 223) and check

for wear and damage.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)

(4) Re-install the gears and check clearances.
(5) Measure the clearance between the outer gear

and the pump pocket (Fig. 224). Clearance should be
0.045-0.141mm (0.0018-0.0056 in.).

(6) Position an appropriate piece of Plastigage

across both pump gears.

(7) Align the Plastigage to a flat area on the reac-

tion shaft support housing.

(8) Install the reaction shaft to the pump housing.

Tighten the bolts to 27 N·M (20 ft. lbs.).

(9) Remove bolts and carefully separate the hous-

ings. Measure the Plastigage following the instruc-
tions supplied.

(10) Clearance between outer gear side and the

reaction shaft support should be 0.020-0.046 mm
(0.008-0.0018 in.). Clearance between inner gear side
and the reaction shaft support should be 0.020-0.046
mm (0.008-0.0018 in.).

INPUT CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

DISASSEMBLY

(1) Mount input clutch assembly to Input Clutch

Pressure Fixture (Tool 8391).

(2) Tap down reverse clutch reaction plate to

release pressure from snap ring (Fig. 225).

(3) Remove reverse clutch snap ring (Fig. 226).
