69. Install new end cover-to-case seals.





70. Install new end cover seals.





71. Install the direct clutch hub bearing shim and an additional shim to increase the total shim thickness to specification shown or greater.





72. CAUTION: Failure to support the transaxle end cover in the center can result in inaccurate measurements causing damage to the transaxle.

Measure the gap between the transaxle end cover and the transaxle assembly.
1 Position the transaxle end cover on the transaxle assembly.
2 Support the transaxle end cover in the center.
3 Measure the gap between the transaxle end cover and the transaxle assembly.





73. Remove the transaxle end cover.





74. NOTE: The clearance for the direct clutch bearing shim is 0.25 - 0.50 mm (0.001 - 0.020 inch).

NOTE: The correct shim thickness is between minimum and maximum.

Choose and install the correct direct clutch hub bearing shim:
^ Line 1: total amount of shim thickness used during transaxle end cover mock up.
^ Line 2: measure the gap between transaxle end cover and transaxle case.
^ Line 3: subtract Line 2 from Line 1 to obtain the actual clearance.
^ Line 4: subtract 0.25 mm (0.001 inch) from Line 3 for maximum shim thickness.
^ Subtract 0.50 mm (0.020 inch) from Line 3 for the minimum thickness shim.





75. CAUTION: Applying too much sealer in the area of the fluid return holes may cause the fluid return holes to become blocked and cause a transmission failure.

Apply a 1 mm (0.04 inch) bead of sealer to the transaxle end cover.





76. Install the transaxle end cover.
^ Tighten to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.).





77. Using the special tool, collapse the intermediate/overdrive band.
