(a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Distance between lever end and shaft bore
“a” : 5 mm (0.2 in.)
CAUTION:
Take care not to damage oil seal lip by input shaft, or oil
leakage may take place.
NOTE:
 Input shaft right bearing on shaft can be installed into
right case by tapping shaft with plastic hammer.
 Check to make sure that counter shaft is engaged with
final gear while installing.
NOTE:

6) Make reverse idler gear (1) with reverse gear shift lever (2),
insert reverse gear shaft (3) into case through idler gear and
then align “A” in shaft with “B” in case.
7) Clean mating surfaces of both right and left cases, apply
sealant to right case (2) by using a nozzle as shown in figure
by such amount that its section is 1.5mm (0.059 in.) in diam-
eter then mate it with left case (1).
“B” : Sealant 99000-31110
8) Tighten case bolts (3) from left case side to specified torque.
Tightening torque

Reverse shaft bolt (c) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
10) Install another case bolts from clutch housing side and
tighten them to specification. NOTE:
 Distance “a” can be measured by installing reverse
gear shaft provisionally.
 When “a” is 5 mm (0.2 in.), clearance between reverse
idler gear groove and shift lever end will be 1 mm (0.04
in.).
NOTE:
 Make sure that washer (4) has been installed in shaft at
above the gear.
 Check to confirm that reverse gear shift lever end has
clearance 1 mm (0.04 in.) to idler gear groove.
