Input Shaft End Play

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When adjusting input shaft end play, select adjusting shim for input shaft rear bearing. To select adjusting shim, measure clearance between transaxle case and input shaft rear bearing. Refer to "INPUT SHAFT REAR BEARING ADJUSTING SHIM ".
CAUTION: Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.
Calculate dimension "O" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the following procedure to satisfy specification of end play for input shaft rear bearing.

End play : Refer to "INPUT SHAFT REAR BEARING ADJUSTING SHIM ".

Dimension "O" = (O1 - O2) - End play

O : Thickness of adjusting shim

O1 : Distance between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim

O2 : Distance between clutch housing end face and end face of input shaft rear bearing

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge, measure dimension "O1 " between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim.
CAUTION: "O1 " : Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and use the average value.

Using a depth micrometer and straightedge as shown in the figure, measure dimension "O2 " between clutch housing end face and end face of input shaft rear bearing.
CAUTION: "O2 " : Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and use the average value.
Install selected input shaft rear bearing adjusting shim onto input shaft.
