TRANSAXLE (TYPE G)

Transaxle Assembly, Continued:

7. Install both dowel pins (25) in the transaxle housing (20) (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3).

8. Install left half of transaxle housing:

8.1. Place a 1/8-inch (3 mm) bead of Three Bond liquid gasket on mating surface of housing.

8.2. Install left half of transaxle housing (20) (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3).

8.3. Install eleven bolts (24) in the case housing and tighten to 19 ft-lb (25.7 N·m). Type G transaxles

have no shims or gasket.

8.4. Install axle tube (14 and 35) with bolts (8) (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3). Tighten the bolts to 37 ft-lb

(50.2 N·m).

9. Install the brake assemblies as instructed. See Section 6 – Wheel Brake Assemblies in the appro-

priate maintenance and service manual.

10. Apply a small amount of grease to the lip of the oil seal (15) (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3). See following

CAUTION.

CAUTION

• Clean any residual oil from the exposed end of the axle shaft and from the oil seal area prior to

installing the axle shaft to prevent oil from coming in contact with brakes.

11. Install the rear axle onto the transaxle.

11.1. Insert the splined end of the axle shaft into the axle tube. Be careful not to damage the seal on the

inside of the axle tube hub. Advance the shaft through to the bearing on the shaft, and rotate it to

align the shaft splines with the splined bore of the differential gear. Continue advancing the shaft

until the bearing on the axle is firmly seated within the axle tube hub seat.

11.2. Using 90° internal snap ring pliers (0.090 tip) (CC P/N 1012560), attach the internal retaining ring

into the axle tube hub so that it seats against the axle bearing assembly and into the machined slot

in the inside wall of the axle tube hub (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3).

11.3. Place a 1/4 to 3/8-inch (6 to 10 mm) diameter rod against the retaining ring and tap lightly at four

or five locations to ensure it is properly seated. See following WARNING.

WARNING

• Be sure retaining ring is properly seated in its groove. If ring is not properly installed, the axle

assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other

components. Loss of vehicle control could result in severe personal injury or death.

12. Make sure the drain plug (22) is installed in the transaxle and tightened to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m). Fill the tran-

saxle, through the level indicator hole, with 22 ounces of SAE 30 API Class SE, SF, or SG oil (a higher

grade may also be used). Install and tighten the level indicator plug (21) to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m).
