Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance.
Standard Clearance

0.08 to 0.15 mm (0.00315 to 0.00591 in.)

Maximum Clearance

0.15 mm (0.00591 in.)

If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the front oil pump body sub-assembly.

Using a straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the side clearance of both gears.

Standard Inside Diameter

43.135 to 43.160 mm (1.69823 to 1.69920 in.)

Maximum Inside Diameter

43.160 mm (1.69920 in.)

If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the front oil pump body sub-assembly.

INSPECT STATOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY

Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the stator shaft assembly.

Standard Inside Diameter

22.500 to 22.526 mm (0.88583 to 0.88684 in.)

Maximum Inside Diameter

22.526 mm (0.88684 in.)

If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the stator shaft assembly.
