WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Measure clearance between side cover and the end of the output shaft bearing.
- Select proper thickness of adjusting shim so that clearance is within specifications.
- Install bearing retainer for output shaft.
- Install output shaft thrust needle bearing on bearing retainer.
- Install output shaft on transmission case.
- Measure dimensions "ell1" and "ell2" at side cover and then calculate dimension "A".
- Measure dimension "ell1" and "ell2" in at least two places.
- "A": Distance between transmission case fitting surface and adjusting shim mating surface.
- A = ell1 - ell2 ell2: Height of gauge
- Measure dimension "ell1" and "ell2" in at least two places.
- Measure dimensions "ell2" and "ell3" and then calculate dimension "B".
- Measure "ell2" and "ell3" in at least two places.
- "B": Distance between the end of output shaft bearing outer race and the side cover fitting surface of transmission case.
- B = ell2 - ell3 ell2: Height of gauge
- Measure "ell2" and "ell3" in at least two places.
- Select proper thickness of adjusting shim so that output shaft end play (clearance between side cover and output shaft bearing) is within specifications.
- Output shaft end play (A - B): 0 - 0.15 mm (0 - 0.0059 in)
- Output shaft end play adjusting shims: Refer to "OUTPUT SHAFT ADJUSTING SHIMS ".
- Install adjusting shim on output shaft bearing.
