Automatic Transmission/Transaxle: Adjustments

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES





Brake Reaction Plate End Play Adjustment
Replace the pressure plate of the low-reverse brake with the special tool, and then install the brake disc, brake plate and snap ring as shown in the figure. Install the reaction plate and the used snap ring. Move the special tool up and down to measure the end play, and then replace the snap ring to adjust the end play to standard value.
Standard value: 0 - 0.16 mm
(Refer to "Snap ring and spacer for adjustment")

Second Brake End Play Adjustment





Replace the pressure plate of the second brake with the special tool, and then install the brake disc and brake plate as shown in the figure. Install the return spring, second brake piston and snap ring.
Move the special tool up and down to measure the end play.
Standard value: 0.79 - 1.25 mm
Reference
Select a pressure plate whose thickness is within the following value.





[A (moving amount) + thickness of the special tool - 1.25] to [A (moving amount) + thickness of the special tool - 0.79].
(Refer to "Snap ring and spacer for adjustment")

Low-Reverse Brake End Play Adjustment





Reverse the transmission and install the dial gauge.
Move the special tool up and down to measure the end play.
Standard value: 1.35 - 1.81 mm
Reference
Select a pressure plate whose thickness is within the following value.





[A (moving amount) + thickness of the special tool - 1.81] to [A (moving amount) + thickness of the special tool - 1.35]
(Refer to "Snap ring and spacer for adjustment")





Identification of thrust bearing, thrust races and thrust washers

Underdrive Sun Gear End Play Adjustment
Install the used thrust race #8, and then the rear cover.





Measure end play of the underdrive sun gear. Move the underdrive sun gear up and down to measure the end play. Replace thrust race #8 to adjust the play to the standard value.
Standard value: 0.25 - 0.45 mm

NOTE Installing the underdrive clutch hub makes it easy to measure the end play of the underdrive sun gear.

Differential Case Preload Adjustment





Place a piece of solder (approx. 10 mm in length, 3 mm in diameter) on the torque converter housing as shown in the figure.
Install the torque converter housing to the transmission case without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to the specified torque. Loosen the bolts, and remove the solder.





Use a micrometer to measure the thickness (T) of the pressed solder. Select a space whose thickness is within the following value.
Standard value: (T + 0.045 mm) to (T + 0.105 mm)
