(39) Determine proper #4 thrust plate thick-
ness.
(a) Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness.
(b) Install #4 thrust plate (Fig. 127) using petro-
latum to hold into position.
(c) Install input clutch assembly. Ensure the
input clutch assembly is completely seated by view-
ing position through input speed sensor hole (Fig.
128). If view through input speed sensor hole
is not as shown in (Fig. 128), the input
clutches assembly is not seated properly.
(d) Remove the oil pump o-ring (Fig. 129) and
install oil pump and gasket to transaxle. Use
screw-in dowels or phillips-head screwdrivers
to align pump to case. Be sure to reinstall
O-ring on oil pump after selecting the proper
No. 4 thrust plate.
(e) Measure the input shaft end play with the
transaxle in the vertical position. This will ensure
that the measurement will be accurate.
(f) Set up and measure endplay using End Play
Set 8266 and Dial Indicator Set C3339 as shown in
(Fig. 130).
(g) Measure input shaft end play. Input shaft
end play must be .005 to .025 inch. For exam-
ple, if end play reading is 0.055 inch, select No. 4
Thrust Plate which is 0.071 to 0.074 thick. This
should provide an input shaft end play reading of
0.020 inch, which is within specifications.
(h) See chart to select the proper No. 4 thrust
plate.
