INSTALLATION
NOTE: If valve body assembly is being replaced or
reconditioned, it is necessary to perform the TCM
Quick Learn Procedure. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/TRANSMISSION
CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(1) Install valve body assembly to transaxle (Fig.
369). Install and torque valve body-to-transaxle case
bolts (Fig. 370) to 12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).(2) Install transaxle oil filter (Fig. 371). Inspect
the o-ring and replace if necessary.

INPUT SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The input shaft assembly (Fig. 1) is part of the
transaxle geartrain, is driven by the clutch assembly,
and consists of the following components: ² Input Mainshaft
² 3rd Speed Gear
² 4th Speed Gear
² 3/4 Synchronizer
² 5th Input Gear
The input shaft meshes with the intermediate
shaft, and is supported by a needle bearing at the
front of the transaxle, and a sealed roller bearing at
the rear of the transaxle.
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: When servicing the input shaft assembly, all
snap rings which are removed MUST be replaced
with new snap rings upon reassembly. The 5th gear
nut must be replaced also.
(1) Invert input shaft assembly and place in fix-
ture 8487. (2) Remove input bearing snap ring (Fig. 2).
(3) Remove input bearing. Place input shaft
assembly onto arbor press table, with the input bear-
ing supported by bearing splitter (Fig. 3). Using
adapter 8486-4, press bearing off of shaft, while
helper supports shaft to prevent dropping. (4) Place input shaft assembly back into fixture
8487. Secure fixture to bench with fasteners, or
secure to bench vise.

NOTE: 5th gear nut is staked to the shaft. If neces-
sary, grind stake area to ease removal, but use care
not to contact gear.(5) Remove 5th gear nut with wrench 8478 (Fig.
4). Discard nut and use a new one upon assembly.
(6) Remove 5th gear with arbor press and bearing
splitter. (7) Remove 4th gear and needle bearing (Fig. 5)
(Fig. 6). (8) Remove 4th gear blocker ring (Fig. 7).
