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 (44) is installed in the transaxle and tightened to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m). Fill the trans-
axle, 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 (25) to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m).

SHIMMING THE TRANSAXLE

If the differential case (36 and 33), transaxle housing (11 and 24), or axle tube (16 and 40) has been replaced,
the transaxle may need new shims. To determine whether new shims are necessary, the transaxle must be
completely assembled except for the short axle tube (16) and both axle shafts (1 and 2) (Figure 16b-4,
Page 16b-3).
1. Stand the transaxle on end, on the axle tube.
2. Using a depth gauge, measure the distance from the gasket seal surface of the axle tube to the outer
race of the bearing (14) on the differential case assembly (32) (Figure 16b-4, Page 16b-3). See also
Figure 16b-20, Page 16b-12.

3. Use the following charts to determine whether shimming is required and, if so, how many shims (CCI P/
N 1013781) should be used.
