ASSEMBLY 7C
ASSEMBLY
PRECAUTION
(1) The automatic transaxle consists of high-precision-finished parts, necessitating careful inspection
before assembly because even a small nick could cause fluid leakage or affect performance.
(2) Clean out oil holes and oil passages with compressed ajr, and check that there are no obstructions.
(3) Before assembly, apply ATF to each O-ring, seal ring, rotating part, and friction part.
(4) If the brake band or drive plates are replaced with new ones, soak them in ATF for at least 2 hours
before installing.
(5) Each seal gasket and O-ring must be replaced with a new one.
(6) Be sure to install all thrust bearings and races in the correct direction and position.
ASSEMBLY—STEP 1
Torque Specifications
19—26 N-m (1.9—2.6 m-kg, 14—19 ft-lb)

7C ASSEMBLY
Procedure
1. Adjust the preload of the output gear bearing and select the adjust shim(s) as described below.
Note To adjust the preload, use the SST shown below.
83U07B-367
76G07C-230
(1) Align the matching mark as shown; then press
the bearing cover in with the SST after align-
ing it with guide bolts as shown.
Tightening torque: 11—14 N-m
(110—140 cm-kg, 95—122 in-lb)
(2) Mount the converter housing onto the trans-
axle hunger.
(3) Remove the bearing outer race and adjust
shims from the bearing housing. (Refer to page
7C-87.)
(4) Set the output gear assembly into the convert-
er housing.

ASSEMBLY 7C
(5) Install the outer race removed in step (3) to the
SST; then mount them on the output gear as-
sembly.
Caution
Eliminate the gap (arrow) by turning A or B of
the selector.
76G07C-233
(7) Set the bearing housing on the SST (selector)
and install the four SST (bolts); then tighten
them to the specified torque,
Tightening torque:
19—26 N m (1.9—2.6 m-kg, 14—19 ft-lb)
76G07C-234
(8) Turn the SST (selector) to increase the clear-
ance (indicated by the arrow) with the SST
(bars) until it no longer turns.
Note
This is to seat the bearing.
(9) Turn the selector in the opposite direction un-
til the preload is eliminated (gap is reduced).
7C—91

7C ASSEMBLY
(10) Mount the SST and pull scale or torque
wrench on the output gear.
(11) Increase the clearance between A and B
to obtain the specified preload/pull scale
reading.
Preload: 0.5—0.9 N-m
(5.0—9.0 cm-kg, 4.34—7.81 in-lb)
Reading on pull scale: 5—9 N
(0.5—0.9 kg, 1.1—1.98 lb)
Note
Read the preload when the output gear starts
to turn.
(12) Measure the clearance. Select adjust
shim(s) equivalent to the measured
clearance.
Thickness of shim
0.10 mm (0.004 in) 0.12 mm (0.005 in) 0.14 mm (0.006 in)
0.16 mm (0.0063 in) 0.20 mm (0.008 in) 0.50 mm (0.020 in)
Caution
a) Measure the clearance around the entire cir-
cumference, and select shims equivalent to
the maximum clearance.
b)The maximum allowable number of shims
is 7.

(13) Remove the bearing housing and SST.
(14) Install the required shim(s) and press the
bearing race into the bearing housing with
a suitable pipe.
(15) Install the bearing housing.
Tightening torque:
19—26 N m (1.9—2.6 m-kg, 14—19 ft-lb)
(16) Check that the preload/pull scale reading
is within specification. If not within specifi-
cation return to step (3).
Preload: 0.03—0.9 N-m
(0.3—9.0 cm-kg, 0.26—7.81 in-lb)
Reading on pull scale:
0.3—9 N (0.03—0.9 kg, 0.066—1.98 lb)
(17) Remove the bearing housing and output
gear assembly.
2. Mount the side bearing housing to transaxle case
by gradually tightening the mounting bolts in a di-
agonal pattern.
Tightening torque:
19—26 N-m (1.9—2.6 m-kg, 14—19 ft-lb)

7C ASSEMBLY
3. Adjust the differential side bearing preload and select the adjust shim(s) as described below.
Note
To inspect and adjust the preload, use the SST shown below.
76G07C-242
(1) Remove the side bearing housing race and ad-
just shims from the transaxle case. (Refer to
page 7C—88.)
(2) Set the differential assembly into the convert-
er housing.
(3) Install the outer race removed in step (1) into
the SST; then set them on the differential as-
sembly.
Caution
Eliminate the gap by turning either A or B of
the selector.
