(6) Remove oil filter (Fig. 18).
(7) Turn manual valve fully clock-wise to get park
rod into position for removal.
(8) Remove valve body-to-case bolts (Fig. 19).
CAUTION: Do not handle the valve body assembly
from the manual valve. Damage can result.(9) Using a screwdriver, push park rod rollers
away from guide bracket (Fig. 20) and remove valve
body assembly (Fig. 21).
NOTE: Depending on engine application, some
accumulators will have two springs and others will
have one spring. The springs are color-coded
according to application and year. When disassem-
bling, mark accumulator spring location to ease
assembly.

(14) Measure input shaft end play. Place transaxle
so input shaft is vertical. Set up end play set and
dial indicator as shown in (Fig. 27).Input shaft end
play should be within 0.13-0.64 mm (0.005-0.025
in.)If outside of this range, a #4 thrust plate change
is required. Record indicator reading for reference
upon reassembly.(15) Remove oil pump-to-case bolts (Fig. 28).
CAUTION: Be sure input speed sensor is removed
before removing oil pump.

(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:
