43) Measure O/D and 2nd coast brake piston stroke.
• Measure dimension “a” from end face of transaxle
case to O/D and 2nd coast brake rear plate (1)
using straightedge and micrometer caliper.
• Measure dimension “b” from O/D and 2nd coast
brake piston (2) to rear cover assembly mating
surface using straightedge and micrometer
caliper.
• Calculate piston stroke from measured value of
dimensions “a” and “b”.
• Piston stroke = “a” – “b”
O/D and 2nd coast brake piston stroke
Standard: 0.65 – 1.05 mm (0.026 – 0.041 in.)
When piston stroke is out of specification, select O/D
and 2nd coast brake rear plate with proper thickness
from among the following table and replace it.
CAUTION!
When brake disc, retaining plate, separator
plate and/or rear plate of O/D and 2nd coast
brake have been replaced, all learned
contents, which have been stored in TCM
memory by executing learning control,
should be initialized referring to “Learning
Control Initialization”.
Neglecting this initialization may cause
excessive shift shock.

Manual Transmission/Transaxle
General Description
Manual Transaxle ConstructionS6RW0D5201001
The transaxle provides five forward speeds and one reverse speed by means of three synchromesh devices and three
shafts-input shaft, countershaft and reverse gear shaft. All forward gears are in constant mesh, and reverse uses a
sliding idler gear arrangement.
The low speed sleeve & hub is mounted on countershaft and engaged with countershaft 1st gear or 2nd gear, while
the high speed sleeve & hub is done on input shaft and engaged with input shaft 3rd gear or 4th gear. The 5th speed
sleeve & hub on input shaft is engaged with input shaft 5th gear mounted on the input shaft.
To prevent the cracking noise from the reverse gear when shifting transaxle gear into the reverse gear, the reverse
shift braking device is used.
The device utilizes the 5th synchromesh, which is the lever synchro type, to apply the brake on the input shaft rotation.
The double cone synchronizing mechanism is provided to 2nd gear synchromesh device for high performance of
shifting to 2nd gear.
For servicing, it is necessary to use genuine sealant or its equivalent on mating surfaces of transaxle case which is
made of aluminum. The case fastening bolts must be tightened to specified torque by means of torque wrench. It is
also important that all parts are thoroughly cleaned with cleaning fluid and air dried before reassembling.
Further, care must be taken to adjust preload of countershaft taper roller bearings. New synchronizer rings are
prohibited from being lapped with respective gear cones by using lapping compound before they are assembled.

Transmission / Transaxle
Clutch
General Description
Clutch (Hydraulic Type) ConstructionS6RW0D5301001
The clutch is a diaphragm spring clutch of a dry single disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger type,
which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying four torsional coil springs, is positioned on the transaxle input shaft with an involute spline fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral edge
part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the clutch release
bearing (incorporated in clutch operating cylinder) is held back. This is the engaged condition of the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bearing (incorporated in clutch operating cylinder) to advance and
pushes on the tips of the tapered fingers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm spring pulls the
pressure plate away from the flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel through clutch disc to
transaxle input shaft. Clutch fluid is supplied from brake fluid reservoir. Clutch fluid level can be checked by brake fluid
level of brake fluid reservoir.

Repair Instructions
Clutch Pedal InspectionS6RW0D5306001
Cylinder Push Rod Play “a”
1) Press clutch pedal (1) gradually with finger, stop
when slight increase of resistance is felt and
measure how much pedal has moved (push rod
play) as represented by “a” as shown.
Push rod play
“a”: Max. 3 mm (0.12 in.)
2) If “a” is not within specification, replace master
cylinder (3) or pedal arm (2).
Clutch Pedal Free Travel “b”
1) Depress clutch pedal (1), stop the moment clutch
resistance is felt, and measure how much pedal has
moved (clutch pedal free travel) as represented by
“b” in the figure.
Clutch pedal free travel
“b”
: 2 – 8 mm (0.08 – 0.31 in.)
2) If “b” is not within specification, check pedal arm (2)
and master cylinder (3) and replace defective part.
Clutch Release Margin “c”
1) Pull up parking brake fully and block wheels.
2) Start engine and keep engine at idle with neutral
gear position.
3) Without clutch pedal (1) depressed, slightly push the
shift lever to reverse position until transaxle emits
gear contact noise. Do not shift the lever to reverse
position.
4) With emitting gear contact noise, be slow to depress
clutch pedal (1), and at gear contact noise died
position (release point) stop depressing.
5) Measure distance between release point (4) and full
stroke point (5) on clutch pedal (1) which is shown by
“c” in the figure.
Clutch release margin
“c”: 25 – 55 mm (0.98 – 2.17 in.)6) If “c” is not within specification, it is possible that air
is trapped in this system. If suspected so, bleed air
referring to “Air Bleeding of Clutch System”.Upon
completion of above inspection, start engine and
check clutch for proper operation.
Clutch Fluid Level InspectionS6RW0D5306002
Refer to “Brake Fluid Level Inspection in Section 4A”.
Clutch fluid specification
: Refer to the reservoir cap of the brake master
cylinder.
Air Bleeding of Clutch SystemS6RW0D5306003
CAUTION!
When operating the pedal stroke for air
bleeding of clutch system, after releasing the
clutch pedal, be sure to wait 1 second or
more before depressing it again. Otherwise,
the oil seal of operating cylinder will be
damaged, resulting in oil leakage.
Bleed air from clutch system.
Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System in Section 4A”.
