ASSEMBLY
NOTE: When assembling this transaxle, always use
NEW snap rings.
NOTE: Before assembling transaxle, differential
turning torque must be measured and adjusted.
(Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/MANU-
AL/DIFFERENTIAL - ADJUSTMENTS). Differential
turning torque must be measured with geartrain out
of case.
(1) Install input shaft bearing using an arbor press
and remover/installer 8474 (Fig. 47).
(2) Install shift shaft bushing to case using
installer 8475 (Fig. 48).

(3) Install intermediate shaft bearing race to case
with an arbor press, driver handle C-4171, and
installer 8471 (Fig. 49). Press until installer 8471
bottoms on transaxle case.NOTE: If input shaft assembly was not disassem-
bled, it is necessary to remove input shaft sealed
ball bearing before assembling transaxle. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/MANUAL/INPUT

(5) Install shift forks and 3/4 rail assembly to
geartrain as shown in (Fig. 51).
NOTE: Before installing geartrain, make sure that
input shaft sealed roller bearing is not installed,
otherwise reverse idler assembly installation will be
difficult. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/
MANUAL/INPUT SHAFT - DISASSEMBLY)
(6) Install lifting bar 8489 to geartrain. Install
geartrain to case.When installing geartrain to
case, use care not to damage bearing surfaces.
(7) Remove lifting bar 8489 from geartrain.
(8) Install shift 1/2-5/R rail as shown in (Fig. 52).
(9) Install reverse idler shaft into position (Fig.
53). Install and torque shaft-to-case bolt to 54 N´m
(40 ft. lbs.).
