Always use Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oii can cause stiffer shifting because it does
not contain the Drooer additives.
Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of
the system.

Charging System
Alternator Overhaul (cont'd)
Rectitier Test
16. Check for continuity in each direction, between the
B terminal and P terminals, and between the E
terminal and P terminals of each diode pair.
All diodes should have continuity in only one
direction. Because the rectifier diodes are designed
to allow current to pass in one direction, and the
rectifier is made up of eight diodes (four pairs). you
musttest each diode in both directions for
continuity with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability: a total of 16 checks.
. lf any diode is faulty. replace the rectifier
assembly. {Diodes are not available separately.)' lf all the diodes are OK, go to step 17.

. lf either brush isshorterthanthe service limit,
replace the brush assembly.. lf brush length is OK, go to step '18.
Alternator Brush Length:
Standard (New): 10.5 mm (0.41 in.)
Service Limit: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
Rotor Slip Bing Test
18. Check that there is continuity between the slip rings
{A).
. lf there is continuity, go to step 19.. lf there is no continuity, replacethe alternator.
Check that there is no continuity between each slip
ring and the rotor (B) and the rotor shaft (C).

Installthe 3rd/4th synchro hub (A), the distance
collar (B), the 5th synchro hub {C). distance collar
(D), and ball bearing (E) on the mainshaft (F), then
installthe assembled mainshaft in the transmission
housing (G).
lnstall the washer (H) on the mainshaft.
Measure distance O between the end of the
transmission housing and washer with a straight
edge and vernier caliper. Measure at three
locations and average the reading.
5.Measure distance @ between the end of the clutch
housing (A) and the bearing inner race (B)with a
straight edge and depth gauge. Measure at three
locations and average the readings.

Shim Selection Formula:
6, Select the proper 72 mm shim from the chan.
Follow the example below, and use the
measurements you made in steps 4 and 5:
(Basic Formula)
O+@ (0.8 * 0.11) = shim thickness (maximum)
O + O (0.8 + 0.17) = shim thickness (minimum)
. Add distance O (step 5) to distance O (step 4)
. 0.8 mm (0.031 in): Spring washer, a dimension in
the installation.. 0.11 mm (0.004 in): lvlinimum thrust clearance
. 0.17 mm (0.007 in): Maximum thrust clearance.
(For example)
2.32 + 0.15 - (0.8 + 0.11)= 1.56 mm (0.061 in.)
2.32 + 0.15 - (0.8 + 0.17)= 1.50 mm (0.059 in.)
Take the middle value of the minimum value and
the maximum value, and select the 1.53 mm
(0.060 in.) shim.
