1998 HONDA INTEGRA Transmission assembly

4.Tap on the transmission housing side of the ditferen-tial assembly with the special tool to seat thedifferential assembly in the torque convener housing.
o.
Measure the clearanc; between the thrust shim and
outer race of the ball bearing in the transmission
nousrng.
STANDARD: O-0.15 mm (O-O.O06 in)
It out of limits. select a new thrust shim from the
tollowing table:
THRUST SHIM, 80 mm
NOTE: Il the thrust shim-to-ball bearing outer race
clearance measured in step 5 is within the standard,
it is not necessary to perform steps 7 and 8.
Remove the transmission housing.
Replace the 2.50 mm {0.098 in) thrust shim with
the one of the correct thickness selected in step 6.
Install the transmission housing (see sectjon 14).

Intermediate Shaft
Removal
Drain the transmission oil or fluid {see section 13 or
14t.
Remove the left driveshaft (see page 16-3).
Bemove the three dowel bolts.
Remove the intermediate sh8ft from the differential.
CAUTION: Hold the intermediate shaft horizontal
until it is clear ot th6 difforantirl to prevont damage
to thc ditf€rential oil seal.
7. Install the knuckle on the lower arm.
NOTE: Wipe off the grease before tightening the
nut at the ball joint.
CAUTION:
. Be careful not to damago the ballioint boot.
. Torque the castle nut to tho low€r torque speci-
tication, then tighten it only lar onough to align
th6 slot whh tho pin hols. Do not align the nut
by loosening.

Starting System
Starter Test (cont'dl
Check Cranking rpmr
Engine speed during cranking should be above 1OO rpm.
lJ speed is too low, check for:
a Loose batlery or starter terminals
a Excessively worn starter brushes
a Open circuit in commutator segments
a Dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear
a Defective drive gear overrunning clutch
Check Starter Disengagement:
Press the clutch pedal all the way in (M/T), turn rhe igni
tion switch to "lll" and release to "11".
The starter drive gear should disengage from the flywheel
or torque converter ring gear when you release the key.
It the drive gear hangs up on the flywheel or torque con-
verter ring gear, check for:
a Solenoid plunger and switch mallunction
a Dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch
5. Check for an open in the BLK/WHT wire circuit be
tween the starter and ignition switch, and con-
necrors,
6. Check the ignition switch (see page 23-71).
7. On cars with automatic transmission, check the A/Tgear position switch (neutral position switch) and
connector. On cars with manualtransmission, check
the starter cut relay, clutch interlock switch, and
connectors.
NOTE: Check the No. 42 (40 A) fuse in the under,hoodfuse/relay box for the starter cut relay.
Check Jor Wear and Damage:
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and stead,ily. lf the starter engages, but cranks the engine errati
cally, remove it. Inspect the starter, drive gear, andllywheel or torque converter ring gear lor damage.
a Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the drivegear held. Replace the gears i{ damaged.
Check CJanking Voltage and Current Draw:
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.O volts.
Current draw should be no more than * amperes.* 1.2 kW: 27O A
1 .4 kW: 360 A
It cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,check for:
a Dead or low charged batterya Open circuit in starter armature commutator segmentsa Starter armalure dragging
a Shorted armature windinga Excessive drag in engine

Test tho vss:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Connect the other test harness connector to the VSS.3. Raise th€ front and roar of thevehicle, and support it withsafety stands.4. Put the transmission in neu-tral with the ignition switchoN flr).5. Slowly rotate one wheel withthe other wheel blocked.
Does voltage pulse from 0 toapprox.5 V or more?
Spocdomatcr Te3t:1. Disconnoct the 16P conngctor"B" from the gauge assem-
2. Touch 8 probe to the ORNwire, and connect it to bodyground through a voltmetor.3. Slowly rotate one wheel withthe other wheel blocked.
Repair open in the ORN and BLU/WHT wire botw.en tho VSS .ndthe soa€do-mster.
Does the meter indicate puls-ing voltage?

Control Unit Input Test
1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock con-
trol unit.
2. lnspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
a It the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
a lf the terminals look OK, make the following in-
put tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, tind and correct
the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute a
known-good control unit, and recheck the sys-
tem. lf the check is OK, the control unit must
be faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON (ll) and you step on the
brske Dedal (with the shift lever in E). the shift lock
system is electronically normal; if the shift lever
cannot be shifted from fl, test the 46 gear position
switch as described on page 23-142, and see sec-
tion 14.
