18.Turn the transaxle over so that the installation surface of the 

torque converter housing is facing up.
Install special tool MD998913 in a dial gauge, and then 
move special tool MB991631 <F4A42> or MB991632 
<F4A51> and measure its movement.

Standard value of end play (Reference):

1.65 

− 2.11 mm (0.065 − 0.083 inch)

19.Select a pressure plate whose thickness corresponds to the 

measured amount of movement from the table below.

CAUTION

If necessary, take the measurements in steps 9 to 18 after 
replacing the pressure plate, brake plate and brake disc.
20.Remove all parts and special tools that were installed to 

take the measurements in steps 9 to 18. Remove and 
separate the pressure plate and snap ring chosen in steps 
12, 16 and 18.

21.Install the snap ring into the groove of transaxle case output 

shaft bore.

22.Use special tools MB990930 and MB990938 to tap the 

output shaft bearing outer race in the transaxle case.

CAUTION

Do not reuse the bolt, as it has had sealant applied.
23.Tighten the mounting bolts of the output shaft bearing 

retainer to the specified torque.

Tightening torque:

23 

± 3 N⋅m (17 ± 2 ft-lb) <F4A42>

24.Use special tool MD998350 to install the collar and taper 

roller bearing on the output shaft.

25.Apply ATF to a new jam nut, and use special tools 

MB990607 and MB991625 to tighten the jam nut to the 
specified torque. Then turn back one turn, and tighten to the 
specified torque again.

Tightening torque: 167 

± 10 N⋅m (123 ± 7 ft-lb)

NOTE: The jam nut is reverse threaded.

26.Move the output shaft to measure the end play and record 

the measurement value.

27.Remove the parts that were installed in steps 22 to 25.
28.Select a spacer whose thickness corresponds to the 

measured amount of movement from the following table.
