OIL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The oil pump is located in the pump housing inside
the bell housing of the transaxle case (Fig. 283). The
oil pump consists of an inner and outer gear, a hous-
ing, and a cover that also serves as the reaction shaft
support.
OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub
rotates the inner and outer gears. As the gears
rotate, the clearance between the gear teeth
increases in the crescent area, and creates a suction
at the inlet side of the pump. This suction draws
fluid through the pump inlet from the oil pan. As the
clearance between the gear teeth in the crescent area
decreases, it forces pressurized fluid into the pump
outlet and to the valve body.
DISASSEMBLY
When disassembling the transaxle it is necessary
to inspect the oil pump for wear and damage.
(1) Remove the reaction shaft support bolts.
(2) Remove reaction shaft support from pump
housing (Fig. 284).
(3) Remove the pump gears (Fig. 285) and check
for wear and damage on pump housing and gears.
(4) Re-install the gears and check clearances.
(5) Measure the clearance between the outer gear
and the pump pocket (Fig. 286). Clearance should be
0.089±0.202 mm (0.0035-0.0079 in.).
(6) Measure clearance between outer gear and
crescent. Clearance should be 0.060-0.298 mm
(0.0023-0.0117 in.).
(7) Measure clearance between inner gear and
crescent. Clearance should be 0.093-0.385 mm
(0.0036-0.0151 in.).
(8) Position an appropriate piece of Plastigage
across both pump gears.

nizer hub face with oil hole in the shaft splined
hub journal. Line up friction cone and reactor ring
tabs to gear slots. Remove shaft assembly from fix-
ture. (8) Install NEW1/2 synchro snap ring (Fig. 63).

(24) Remove front carrier/rear annulus assembly
and #6 needle bearing (Fig. 38).
(25) Remove rear sun gear and #7 needle bearing
(Fig. 39).
NOTE: The number 7 needle bearing has three anti-
reversal tabs and is common with the number five
and number two position. The orientation should
allow the bearing to seat flat against the rear sun
gear (Fig. 40). A small amount of petrolatum can be
used to hold the bearing to the rear sun gear. (26) Setup tool 5058 as shown in (Fig. 41). Com-
press 2/4 clutch return spring (just enough to remove
snap ring) and remove snap ring.
NOTE: Verify that Tool 5058 is centered properly
over the 2/4 clutch retainer before compressing. If
necessary, fasten the 5058 bar to the bellhousing
flange with any combination of locking pliers and
bolts to center the tool properly.
NOTE: The 2/4 Clutch Piston has bonded seals
which are not individually serviceable. Seal replace-
ment requires replacement of the piston assembly.

(52)DETERMINING #4 THRUST PLATE
THICKNESS / INPUT SHAFT END PLAY: (a) Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness
and install to input clutch assembly (Fig. 139). Use
petrolatum to retain. (b)
Install input clutch assembly into position and
verify that it is completely seated by viewing through
input speed sensor hole. If view through input speed
sensor hole is not as shown in (Fig. 140), the input
clutch assembly is not seated properly.
(c) Remove oil pump o-ring (Fig. 141). Be sure
to reinstall oil pump o-ring after selecting the
proper #4 thrust plate. (d) Install pump and gasket to transmission.
Install and torque bolts. (e) Set up input shaft for measurement with
Indicator Set C3339 and End Play Set 8266 as
shown in (Fig. 142). (f) Measure the input shaft end play with the
transaxle in the vertical position. Input shaft end
play must be within 0.005 to 0.025 inch. For
example, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select
No. 4 Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick.
This should provide an input shaft end play read-
ing of 0.020 inch which is within specifications. (g) Refer to the No. 4 thrust plate chart to select
the proper No. 4 thrust plate:
