side.
f. Insert SST into differential side gear from transaxle case side.
g. Move SST up and down and measure dial indicator deflection.
h. Select proper thickness of differential side bearing adjusting
shim. Refer to “Parts Information” for differential side bearing
adjusting shim selection.
Suitable shim thickness = Dial indicator deflection + Speci-
fied bearing preload
i. Remove converter housing from transaxle case.
j. Remove final drive assembly from transaxle case.
k. Remove differential side bearing outer race from transaxle case.
l. Reinstall differential side bearing outer race and differential side
bearing adjusting shim selected from “Parts Information” on
transaxle case.
m. Reinstall converter housing on transaxle case and tighten con-
verter housing mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to
AT-257, "
Components" .
n. Insert SST and measure turning torque of final drive assembly.
Turn final drive assembly in both directions several times
to seat bearing rollers correctly.
When old bearing is used again, turning torque will be
slightly less than the above.
Make sure torque is close to the specified range.Suitable shim thickness = Dial indicator deflection +
Specified bearing preload
Bearing preload: Refer to AT- 3 8 2 , "

shim selection.
2. Install reduction pinion gear and reduction pinion gear adjusting
shim selected in step 1-f on transaxle case.
CAUTION:
Apply ATF to reduction pinion gear bearing.
3. Press idler gear bearing inner race on idler gear. Refer to AT-
336, "COMPONENTS" .
4. Press idler gear on reduction pinion gear.
CAUTION:
Apply ATF to idler gear bearing.
Press idler gear until idler gear fully contacts reduction
pinion gear bearing adjusting shim.
5. Set manual shaft in “P” position to fix idler gear.
6. Tighten lock nut of idler gear to the specified torque. Refer to AT-257, "
Components" .
CAUTION:
Lock idler gear with parking pawl when tightening lock nut.
7. Measure turning torque of reduction pinion gear.
