(8) Position an appropriate piece of Plastigage

across both pump gears.

(9) Align the Plastigage to a flat area on the reac-

tion shaft support housing.

(10) Install the reaction shaft to the pump housing

(Fig. 275). Tighten the bolts to 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.).

(11) Remove bolts and carefully separate the hous-

ings. Measure the Plastigage following the instruc-
tions supplied.

(12) Clearance between both gear end faces and

the reaction shaft support should be 0.020-0.046 mm
(0.0008-0.0018 in.).

ASSEMBLY

(1) Assemble oil pump as shown in (Fig. 281).

(2) Install and torque reaction shaft support-to-oil

pump housing bolts to 28 N·m (20 ft. lbs.) torque
(Fig. 282).

PLANETARY GEARTRAIN

DESCRIPTION

The planetary geartrain is located between the

input clutch assembly and the rear of the transaxle
case. The planetary geartrain consists of two sun
gears, two planetary carriers, two annulus (ring)
gears, and one output shaft (Fig. 283).

OPERATION

The planetary geartrain utilizes two planetary gear

sets that connect the transmission input shaft to the
output shaft. Input and holding clutches drive or lock
different planetary members to change output ratio
or direction.

SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE

DESCRIPTION

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock

(BTSI) is a cable and solenoid operated system that
prevents the transmission gear shifter from being
moved out of PARK without a driver in place.

Refer to the following chart that expected shifter

response, depending on ignition key/switch (Fig. 286)
and brake pedal positions.

OPERATION

The Brake Transmission Shifter/Ignition Interlock

(BTSI) is engaged whenever the ignition switch is in
the LOCK or ACCESSORY position (Fig. 286). An
additional electrically activated feature will prevent
shifting out of the PARK position unless the brake
pedal is depressed at least one-half inch. A magnetic
holding device integral to the interlock cable is ener-
gized when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
When the key is in the ON/RUN position and the
brake pedal is depressed, the shifter is unlocked and
will move into any position. The interlock system
also prevents the ignition switch from being turned
to the LOCK or ACCESSORY position, unless the
shifter is in the gated PARK position.

The following chart describes the normal operation

of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) sys-
tem. If the “expected response” differs from the vehi-
cle’s response, then system repair and/or adjustment
is necessary.
