REASSEMBLY
1. ASSEMBLE DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Install the correct thrust washers and side gears.
Refer to the table below, select thrust washers which will
ensure that the backlash is within the specification. Try to
select washers of the same size for both sides.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
Thickness mm (in.)Thickness mm (in.)
1.50 (0.0591)1.65 (0.0650)
1.55 (0.0610)1.70 (0.0669)
1.60 (0.0630)1.75 (0.0689)
(b) Install the thrust washers and side gears in the differential
case.
(c) Install the pinion shaft.
(d) Using a dial indicator, check the side gear backlash.
Measure the side gear backlash while holding one pinion
gear toward the case.
Standard backlash:
0.05 - 0.20 mm (0.0020 - 0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is not within the specification, install a thrust
washer of different thickness.
(e) Using a pin punch and hammer, install the straight pin
through the case and hole in the pinion shaft.
(f) Stake the differential case.
2. INSTALL RING GEAR ON DIFFERENTIAL CASE
(a) Clean the contact surface of the differential case.
(b) Heat the ring gear in boiling water.
(c) Carefully remove the ring gear from the water.
(d) After the moisture on the ring gear has completely evapo-
rated, quickly install the ring gear to the differential case.
HINT:
Align the matchmarks on the differential case and contact the
ring gear.
(e) Install the 6 set bolts. Tighten each set bolt uniformly, at
a time in succession. Torque the bolts.
Torque: 124 N´m (1,260 kgf´cm, 91 ft´lbf)

4. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
(a) Install the differential case assembly to the transaxle
case.
(b) Install the transmission case.
(c) Install and torque the case bolts.
Torque: 29 N´m (300 kgf´cm, 22 ft´lbf)
(d) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload.
SST 09564-3201 1
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
0.8 - 1.6 N´m (8 - 16 kgf´cm, 6.9 - 13.9 in.´lbf)
Reused bearing
0.5 - 1.0 N´m (5 - 10 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 8.7 in.´lbf)
If the preload is not within the specification, remove the trans-
mission case side outer race of the side bearing with SST (See
page MX-36).
(e) Select another shim.
HINT:
The preload will change by approx. 0.3 - 0.4 N´m (3 - 4 kgf´cm,
2.6 - 3.5 in.´lbf) corresponding to a change of 0.05 mm in shim
thickness.

ROAD TEST HYDRAULIC TEST
MATRIX CHART (a) Check the tire inflation.
Measure the line pressure and make a basic check of fluid circuit.
Check if trouble lies within automatic transaxle. If noise or vibration occurs, the possible cause could
be with the compressor, engine, drive shaft and tires, etc. Check the automatic transaxle (each clutch, brake and gear) for wear.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
(a) Troubles occurring with the automatic transaxle can be caused by either the engine or the transaxle
itself. These two areas should be checked before proceeding with troubleshooting.
(b) Troubleshooting should begin with the simplest operation, working up in order of difficulty, but first de-
termine whether the trouble lies within the engine or transaxle.
(c) Proceed with the inspection as follows:

(2) Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between each
terminal shown below when the shift lever is put in
each position.
(h) Adjust the shift control cable.
(1) Remove the engine under cover.
(2) Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(3) Push the control shaft lever fully toward the right
side of the vehicle.
(4) Return the lever 2 notches to the NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
(5) Set the shift lever to the N position.
(6) While holding the lever lightly toward the ºRº posi-
tion side, tighten the swivel nut.
(i) Adjust the park/neutral position switch.
If the engine will start with the shift selector in any position other
than the N or P position, adjustment is required.
(1) Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolts and
set the shift selector to the N position.
(2) Align the groove with neutral basic line.
(3) Hold the switch in the position and tighten the bolts.
Torque: 5.4 N´m (55 kgf´cm, 48 in.´lbf)
(j) Inspect the idle speed.
Idle speed:
750 ± 50 rpm (In the N position and A/C OFF)
3. MEASURE STALL TEST
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle and the engine by measuring the
maximum engine speeds in the D and R positions.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 - 80°C (122 - 176 °F).
Do not continuously run this test longer than 5 seconds.
(1) Check the front and rear wheels.
(2) Connect the tachometer to the engine.
(3) Fully apply the parking brake.
