(2) Measure the distance M2 from the edge of oil pump cover 

to the mounting surface on the transaxle case.

(3) Calculate the total end play by the following expression. 

Select the needle bearing so that the total end play meets 
its standard value.

Total end play = M1 

− M2 − bearing thickness

Standard value: 0.25 

− 0.55 mm (0.010 − 0.022 in)

(For total end play)

CAUTION

• Apply vaseline when installing the needle bearing.
• Be careful to attach the needle bearing in right direc-

tion.

14.Install the selected needle bearing on the forward clutch 

assembly. Refer to D in the "IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDLE 
BEARINGS" for right direction.

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the seal rings.
• Apply vaseline when installing the seal rings.

15.Install the seal rings on the oil pump cover.

CAUTION

Do not re-use the bolt.
16.Install the detent spring on the transaxle case and tighten 

the bolt to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 6.9 N

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the O-ring.
• Apply transmission fluid when installing the O-ring.

17.Install the O-ring on the plug.

18.Install the plug on the converter housing to the specified 

torque.

Tightening torque: 7.5 N

CAUTION

Do not bend the pipe when attaching it.
19.Install the pipe on the converter housing.

20.Install the clip and tighten the bolt to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 5.9 N

⋅m (52 in-lb)

CAUTION

• Do not re-use the outer race.
• Replace the outer race together with the inner race.

21.Using the special tools MB990779 and MB990780 

<F1CJA> or MB991168 and MB991702 <W1CJA>, Install 
the differential bearing outer race of differential side bearing 
on the converter housing.

CAUTION

• When adjusting the preload, apply transmission fluid to 

the bearing to make it roll smoothly.

• When conducting measurements, measure two or more 

places, and find the average value.

22.Measure the preload A of the differential assembly as 

follows:

(1) Measure the distance M3 from the edge of transaxle case 

to the mounting surface of adjusting shim.

(2) Install the differential assembly on the converter housing, 

and measure the distance M4 from the differential case to 
the edge of converter housing.

(3) Install the outer race on differential side bearing, and 

measure the distance M5 from the differential case to the 
outer race of differential side bearing.

(4) Using the following expression, calculate the distance M6 

from the edge of converter housing to the outer race of 
differential side bearing.

M6 = M4 

− M5

(5) Using the following expression, calculate thickness of the 

adjusting shim.

Thickness of adjusting shim = M3 

− M6 + preload

Standard value: 0.17 

− 0.23 mm (0.007 − 0.009 in) 

(For differential preload)

CAUTION

Do not re-use the adjusting shim.
23.Install the selected shim on the transaxle case. For selection 

of the adjusting shim, refer to "SERVICE 
SPECIFICATIONS."
