Mainshaft





NOTE:
- Lubricate all parts with ATF during reassembly.
- Inspect the thrust needle bearings and the needle bearings for galling and rough movement.
- Before installing the O-rings, wrap the shaft splines with tape to prevent damage to the O-rings.

END-PLAY INSPECTION





1. Install the parts on the mainshaft.
NOTE: Do not install the O-rings for this inspection.








2. Hold the collar against the 3rd/4th clutch assembly, and measure the clearance between the collar and 4th clutch hub with a feeler gauge as shown.

NOTE: Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.

Standard: 0.03 - 0.11 mm (0.001 - 0.004 inch)

3. If the clearance is out of tolerance, remove the splined washer and measure the thickness.





4. Select and install a new splined washer, then recheck.
5. After replacing the splined washer, make sure the clearance is within the tolerance.
