Automatic Transmission/Transaxle: Adjustments
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURESBRAKE 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 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 the "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.
Standard value: 0.79 - 1.25 mm
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 the "Snap ring and spacer for adjustment")
LOW-REVERSE BRAKE END PLAY ADJUSTMENT
Reverse the transmission and install a dial gauge. Move the special tool up and down to measure the end play.
Standard value: 1.35 - 1.81 mm
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 the "Snap ring and spacer for adjustment").

UNDERDRIVE SUN GEAR END PLAY ADJUSTMENT
Install the used thrust race #8, and then the rear cover. Measure the underdrive sun gear 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 underdrive sun gear end play.
DIFFERENTIAL CASE PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
Place a piece of solder (approximately 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 spacer with a thickness that is within the following value.
