Aiming Adjustment=NJEL0029Before performing aiming adjustment, make sure of the following.
1) Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.
2) Place vehicle on level ground.
3) See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and tools). Have the
driver or equivalent weight placed in driver's seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning the adjusting
screw.

1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of the fog
lamp lens as shown at left.
2. Remove front fog lamp rim. For detail, refer to ªBODY ENDº in
BT section.
3. Turn front fog lamps ON.
SEL495X
4. Adjust front fog lamps so that the top edge of the high inten-
sity zone is 152 mm (6.0 in) (Sedan) or 91 to 136 mm (3.58 to
5.35 in) (Hatchback) below the height of the fog lamp centers
as shown at left.
+When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover the head-
lamps and opposite fog lamp.

c. Measure turning torque of final drive assembly.
Turning torque of final drive assembly (New bearing):
Refer to SDS, MT-121.
+When old bearing is used again, turning torque will be
slightly less than the above.
+Make sure torque is close to the specified range.
+Changes in turning torque of final drive assembly per
revolution should be within 1.0 N´m (10 kg-cm, 8.7 in-lb)
without binding.

1. Remove case cover, O-ring, spacer, mainshaft rear bearing
adjusting shim and mainshaft rear bearing outer race from
transmission case.
2. Install mainshaft assembly on clutch housing.
3. Install transmission case on clutch housing.
+Tighten transmission case fixing bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to MT-30.
SMT650A
4. Install mainshaft rear bearing outer race on inner race.
SMT599
5. Measure distance (ª!º) from transmission case to bearing outer
race.
+Make sure that bearing is properly seated.
6. Select shim considering bearing preload.
Suitable shim thickness = measure distance (ª!º) þ 12.5 mm
(0.492 in) + (specified bearing preload)
Mainshaft rear bearing preload and adjusting shims:
Refer to SDS, MT-121, MT-121.
7. Check total turning torque after assembling. Refer to

2. Reinstall mainshaft rear bearing outer race without shims.
3. Clean mating surfaces of clutch housing and transmission
case with solvent.
4. Install mainshaft and mainshaft front bearing outer race into
transmission case. Turn mainshaft while holding bearing outer
race so that bearings are properly seated.
SMT078A
SMT079A
5. Put straightedge [width must be more than 50 mm (1.97 in)] on
transmission case, and measure the distance from upper sur-
face of straightedge to surface of the bearing outer race using
a depth micrometer.
+Measure at three places on bearing outer race, and take
the average.
6. Determine dimension A to be used by the following equation.
Dimension A = Width of straightedge þ measured dis-
tance
7. Measure the distance from mating surface of clutch housing to
portion with which mainshaft front bearing outer race is to be
mated.
+Measure at three places on the portion, and take the aver-
age.
Dimension B = Measured distance
8. Determine dimension C to be used by the following equation.
Dimension ªCº=BþA
9. Determine total thickness of shims with SDS table as a guide.
Mainshaft bearing adjusting shim:
Refer to SDS, MT-134.
10. Install selected mainshaft bearing adjusting shim and main-
shaft bearing outer race.
11. Check total turning torque after assembly Ð Refer to
