Inspection
1st and reverse brake
Refer to 1st and Reverse Brake Inspection.
B1 brake
Check for damage, wear or discolor in lining.
If faulty condition is found, replace B1 brake.
Adjustment
Differential side bearing preload
1)After applying ATF to differential assembly (1), fit it to transaxle case.
2)Install torque converter housing to transaxle case and tighten torque converter housing bolts in numerical order (“1” – “22”) to specified torque.
NOTE:
There are three kinds of bolts (bolts A (1), B (2) and C (3)) for fixing torque converter housing.
Torque converter housing bolt length
| Bolt | Length | Pieces |
|---|---|---|
| A (1) | 30 mm (1.18 in.) | 4 |
| B (2) | 35 mm (1.38 in.) | 16 |
| C (3) | 39 mm (1.23 in.) | 2 |
3)Measure bearing preload using special tool (A) (2WD model) or special tool (B) (4WD model).
Differential side bearing preload measured as starting torque
In case of new bearing: 0.06 – 1.85 N·m (0.61 – 18.86 kgf-cm, 0.05 – 1.40 lbf-ft)
In case of reused bearing: 0.03 – 0.93 N·m (0.31 – 9.48 kgf-cm, 0.03 – 0.70 lbf-ft)
4)If check result is not as specified, select shim with suitable thickness from the following table and replace it. Then adjust differential side bearing preload within specification.
NOTE:
Record measured differential side bearing, because it is necessary to adjust countershaft bearing preload.

5)Remove differential assembly.
Differential side bearing and pinion and counter driven gear bearing preload
1)After applying ATF to pinion and counter driven gear assembly (1) and differential assembly (2), fit them onto transaxle case.
2)Install torque converter housing to transaxle case and tighten torque converter housing bolts in numerical order (“1” – “22”) to specified torque.
NOTE:
There are three types of bolts (bolts A (1), B (2) and C (3)) for fixing torque converter housing.
Torque converter housing bolt length
| Bolt | Length | Pieces |
|---|---|---|
| A (1) | 30 mm (1.18 in.) | 4 |
| B (2) | 35 mm (1.38 in.) | 16 |
| C (3) | 39 mm (1.23 in.) | 2 |
3)Measure bearing preload using special tool (A) (2WD model) or special tool (B) (4WD model).
Differential side bearing and pinion and counter driven gear bearing preload measured as starting torque
In case of new bearing: 0.39 – 3.75 N·m (3.98 – 38.24 kgf-cm, 0.29 – 2.76 lbf-ft)
In case of reused bearing: 0.20 – 1.87 N·m (2.1 – 19.06 kgf-cm, 0.15 – 1.37 lbf-ft)
4)If check result is not as specified, select shim with suitable thickness from the following table and replace it. Then adjust pinion and counter driven gear bearing preload within specification.
