TRANSAXLE DISASSEMBLE
NOTE: Tag all clutch pack assemblies, as they are
removed, for reassembly identification.
CAUTION: Do not intermix clutch discs or plates as
the unit might then fail.
(1) Remove input and output speed sensors.
(2) Remove transaxle solenoid pack (Fig. 59).

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)

Measure the input shaft end play with the tran-
saxle in the vertical position. This will ensure that
the measurement will be accurate.
Measuring input shaft end play before disassembly
will usually indicate when a #4 thrust plate change
is required. The #4 thrust plate is located behind the
overdrive clutch hub.
Attach a dial indicator to transaxle bell housing
with its plunger seated against end of input shaft
(Fig. 74).
Move input shaft in and out to obtain end play
reading. End play specifications are .13 to .64 mm
(.005 to .025 inch).
Record indicator reading for reference when reas-
sembling the transaxle.
CAUTION: Be sure input speed sensor is removed
before removing oil pump.
OIL PUMP INSPECTION
When disassembling the transaxle it is necessary
to inspect the oil pump for wear and damage.
(1) Remove the reaction shaft support bolts.

NOTE: Verify that Miller Tool 5058 is centered prop-
erly to the 2/4 clutch retainer before depressing the
tool.Press down clutch pack with finger and zero dial
indicator.The 2/4 clutch pack clearance is 0.76 to
2.64mm (.030 to .104 inch).If not within specifica-
tions, the clutch is not assembled properly.There is
no adjustment for the 2/4 clutch clearance.
DETERMINING No. 4 THRUST PLATE
THICKNESSÐINPUT SHAFT END PLAY
To determine the proper thickness of the No. 4
thrust plate, select the thinnest No. 4 thrust plate.
Using petrolatum (Fig. 263) to hold thrust plate in
position, install input clutch assembly. Be sure the
input clutch assembly is completely seated (Fig. 264).
CAUTION: If view through input speed sensor hole
is not as shown above, the input clutches assembly
is not seated properly.
Remove the oil pump O-ring (Fig. 265). You will be
able to install and remove the oil pump and gasket
very easily to select the proper No. 4 thrust plate.

NOTE: Use screw-in dowels or phillips-head screw-
drivers to align pump to case.CAUTION: Be sure to reinstall O-ring on oil pump
after selecting the proper No. 4 thrust plate.
Measure the input shaft end play with the tran-
saxle in the vertical position. This will ensure that
the measurement will be accurate.
NOTE: Input shaft end play must be .005 to .025
inch.
For example, if end play reading is .055 inch, select
No. 4 Thrust Plate which is .071 to .074 thick. This
should provide an input shaft end play reading of
.020 inch which is within specifications.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)

(1) Install transaxle solenoid pack (Fig. 284).
(2) Install input and output speed sensors.
This concludes the assembly of the transaxle cen-
terline.
DIFFERENTIAL REPAIR
NOTE: The differential is serviced as an assembly.
The only parts that are serviceable within the differ-
ential are the differential bearing cups and cones. If
any other part fails within the differential, you must
replace the differential assembly along with the
transfer shaft.
DISASSEMBLE
The transfer shaft should be removed for differen-
tial repair and bearing turning torque checking.
(1) Remove the differential cover and bolts (Fig.
285) (Fig. 286).
(2) Remove the differential bearing retainer and
bolts (Fig. 287) (Fig. 288).(3) Using a plastic hammer, remove extension
housing/adapter plate on the right side of the tran-
saxle.
