A - Shim

1 - ATF pump

2 - Reverse gear clutch -K2-

3 - 1st to 3rd gear clutch -K1-

4 - 4th gear clutch -K3-

Gap x = a - b

Calculating "a":

For the measuring sequence the transmission housing must be clamped into assembly stand so that the input gear is facing downward, as illustrated on. Refer to Clutch play between -K1- and -K2-, adjusting .

Place straightedge "A" onto transmission housing.
Press -K1- together with -K3- down in direction of arrow and measure distance into -K1- with depth gauge "B".

Example:

Reading 1 = 88.5 mm

Reading 2 = 34.3 mm

= Size measured from pump flange/transmission housing into -K1-

Calculating "b":

Place straightedge -B- onto stator support (arrow) and measure with depth gauge -A- to gasket of pump flange.

Example:

Gap x = a - b

= 54.2 mm - 51.0 mm = 3.2 mm
