(55) As a final check of the transaxle, measure the
input shaft end play. This will indicate when a #4
thrust plate change is required. The number 4 thrust
plate is located behind the overdrive clutch hub.
Attach a dial indicator to transaxle bell housing with
its plunger seated against end of input shaft (Fig.
149). Move input shaft in and out to obtain end play
reading. End play specifications are 0.13 to 0.64 mm
(0.005 to 0.025 inch). If not within specifications,
make the necessary thrust plate adjustment.
