(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.
(46) Install the transmission front cover into the
transmission case (Fig. 48).
(47) Install the outer snap-ring to hold the trans-
mission front cover into the transmission case (Fig.
48).
(48) Partially install the inner transmission front
cover snap-ring onto the oil pump (Fig. 48).
