Assembly

1. Select the adjustment shim(s), referring to Bearing Preload Adjustment. Adjustments
2. Assemble in the order shown in the illustration, referring to the following notes:





Oil seal (differential)
1. Using the Special Service Tool (SST) and a hammer, tap the new differential oil seal in evenly until the SST contacts the transaxle case.
2. Coat the lip of the oil seal with transaxle oil.

Bearing race (differential)
1. Install the adjustment shim(s) to the differential case.





2. Apply transaxle oil to the differential bearing race, and install it to the differential case by using a pipe.

Bearing race (transaxle case)
1. Install the adjustment shim(s) to the primary and secondary shaft bearing seats in the transaxle case.





2. Apply transaxle oil to each transaxle case bearing race, and install them to the transaxle case by using a pipe.





Oil seal (change rod assembly)
1. Install the new change rod assembly oil seal by using a pipe.
2. Coat the lip of the oil seal with transaxle oil. Outer diameter of pipe should be 26.0 mm (1.02 inch).





Boot
Install the boot so that the drain hole is facing downward when mounted on the vehicle.





Oil seal (primary shaft)
Apply transaxle oil to the outer circumference of the primary shaft oil seal, and install it to the transaxle case by using a pipe.

Bearing preload
NOTE: Verify the shaft gears and the differential bearing preloads. Readjust the bearing preloads if they are not within specification.





1. Set the primary shaft gear assembly and the differential into the clutch housing.
2. Install the transaxle case, and tighten to 38 - 51 Nm (28 - 38 ft. lbs.).
3. Install the SST to the differential.





4. Connect a torque wrench to the SST and measure the preload. Preload should be 1.4 - 1.9 Nm (13 - 17 inch lbs.).





5. Remove the SST.
6. With the transaxle facing in the direction shown in the figure, install the SST to the primary shaft gear assembly.
7. Connect a torque wrench to the SST and measure the preload. Preload should be 0.1 - 0.2 Nm (0.9 - 2.1 inch lbs.).





8. Remove the SST, transaxle case, primary shaft gear assembly, and differential.
9. Install the secondary shaft gear assembly and transaxle case, and tighten to 38 - 51 Nm (28 - 38 ft. lbs.).
10. Install the SST to the secondary shaft gear assembly.
11. Connect a torque wrench to the SST and measure the preload. Preload should be 0.2 - 0.4 Nm (1.8 - 3.4 inch lbs.)
