INSTALLATION
1. TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
Using calipers and a straight edge, measure the distance from
the installed surface to the front surface of the transaxle hous-
ing.
Correct distance: More than 13.0 mm (0.512 in.)
2. TRANSAXLE INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
HINT:
After installation, adjust the shift cable and park/neutral

AND DRIVE PLATE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ONE-WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install SST in the inner race of the one-way clutch.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32010)
(b) Install SST so that it fits in the notch of the converter clutch
hub and outer race of the one-way clutch.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32020)
(c) With the torque converter clutch held upright, inspect the
clutch locks when turned counterclockwise, and rotates
freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch. Replace
the converter clutch if the clutch still fails the test.
2. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT
RING GEAR
Set up a dial indicator, and measure the drive plate runout.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification, replace the drive
plate.
Torque: 88 N´m (900 kgf´cm, 65 ft´lbf)
3. MEASURE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SLEEVE
RUNOUT
Temporarily mount the torque converter clutch to the drive
plate. Set up a dial indicator.
Maximum runout: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification, try to correct by reori-
enting the installation of the converter.
HINT:
Mark the position of the converter clutch to ensure the correst
installation.

If the camber is not within the specification, using the table be-
low, estimate of how much additional camber adjustment will be
required, and select the camber adjusting bolt.
(i) Follow the above mentioned steps again. Between step
(b) and (c), exchange 1 or 2 selected bolts.
HINT:
When exchanging the 2 bolts, exchange 1 bolt for each time.
6. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Remove the boot clamps.
(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the left and right rack ends an equal amount to adjust
the toe-in.
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0.1° ± 0.2°
C - D: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.08 in.)
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
Make sure that the lengths of the left and right rack ends
are the same.
Tie rod end length difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or
less
(d) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 47 N´m (480 kgf´cm, 35 ft´lbf)
(e) Place the boots on the seat and install the clamps to them.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
