visual inspection through the input speed sensor

(43) Install the oil pump into the transmission
case (Fig. 46).
(44) Install the bolts to hold the oil pump into the
transmission case. Tighten the oil pump bolts to 28
N·m (250 in.lbs.).
(45) Using Adapter 8266-1 from End-Play Tool Set
8266 and Dial Indicator C-3339, measure and record
the input shaft end-play (Fig. 47). The correct end-
play is 0.46-0.89 mm (0.018-0.035 in.). Adjust as nec-
essary. Install the chosen thrust plate on the number
5 bearing and re-measure end-play to verify selec-
tion.
NOTE: When measuring the input shaft end-play,
two stops will be felt. When the input shaft is
pushed inward and the dial indicator zeroed, the
first stop felt when the input shaft is pulled out-
ward is the movement of the input shaft in the input
clutch housing hub. This value should not be
included in the end-play measured value and there-
fore must be recorded and subtracted from the dial
indicator reading.
