(d) Inspect the axle hub backlash.
(1) Using a dial indicator, check the backlash near
the center of the axle hub.
Maximum backlash:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the backlash is greater than the maximum,
replace the bearing.
(e) Inspect the axle hub deviation.
(1) Using a dial indicator, check the deviation on
the surface of the axle hub.
Maximum deviation:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)

22. INSTALL DIRECT CLUTCH
(a) Install the bearing race to the direct clutch.
Standard bearing race diameter
(b) Install the direct clutch and thrust bearing to the rear
planetary sun gear.
NOTICE:
The disc in the direct clutch should completely
mate with the hub attached outside the rear
planetary sun gear. Otherwise, the rear cover
cannot be installed.
(c) Clean the connector part of the transaxle case and
rear cover.
(d) As shown in the illustration, place a straightedge on
the direct clutch drum and measure the distance
between the transaxle case and the straightedge
using a vernier caliper (Dimension B).
(e) Measure the 2 places of the rear cover as shown in
the illustration. Calculate a dimension C using the
following formula.
HINT:
Dimension C = Dimension (1) - Dimension (2)
(f) Calculate the end play value using the following
formula. Select a thrust bearing which satisfies the
end play value and install it.
End play:
0.198 to 0.936 mm (0.00780 to 0.03685 in.)
NOTICE:
Make sure that the colored race side is facing
the direct clutch assembly.
