TRANSAXLE
Transaxle Assembly, Continued:
6. Install the differential assembly, the intermediate gear assembly, and the input pinion gear simultaneously. Be
sure all bearings are seated properly in the housing. Rotate the input shaft to check for smooth gear operation
(Figure 16-13, Page 16-9).
7. Install both dowel pins (27) (Figure 16-4, Page 16-4) or (25) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-5) in transaxle housing
(24 or 20).
8. Install left half of transaxle housing:
• For Type K transaxles:
8.1. Place a new gasket (13) (Figure 16-4, Page 16-4) in position on the mating face of the housing. Use the
dowel pins to position the gasket. Make sure all holes are aligned.
8.2. Install left half of transaxle housing (24) (Figure 16-4, Page 16-4).
8.3. Install the ten bolts (26) and tighten to 69 in.lb (7.8 N-m) (Figure 16-4, Page 16-4).
8.4. If the axle tube (16 and 40) was removed, install the shims (39), (if the shims were removed) and a new
gasket. Install the axle tube with five lock washers and bolts (9 and 8) (Figure 16-4, Page 16-4). Tighten
the bolts to 22 ft. lb (30 N-m).
NOTE
• TYPE K TRANSAXLES: IF THE DIFFERENTIAL CASE (33 AND 36), THE TRANSAXLE HOUSING (11 AND 24) OR AXLE
TUBE (16 AND 40) (FIGURE 16-4, PAGE 16-4) WAS REPLACED, SEE SHIMMING THE TRANSAXLE ON PAGE 16-14.
• For Type G transaxles:
8.5. Place 1/8 in. bead of three bond liquid gasket on mating face of housing. See following NOTE.
NOTE
• TYPE G TRANSAXLES DO NOT USE A GASKET ON THE MATING FACE OF THE HOUSING. USE AN 1/8 IN. BEAD OF
THREE BOND LIQUID GASKET INSTEAD.
8.6. Install left half of transaxle housing (20) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-5).
8.7. Install eleven bolts in the case housing and tighten to 19 ft.lb (25.7 N-m). Type G transaxles have no
shims or gasket.
8.8. Install axle tube with lock washers and bolts (9 and 8) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-5). Tighten the bolts to 36
ft.lb (49 N-m).
• For all transaxles:
9. Install the brake assemblies as instructed in Section 6–Wheel Brake Assemblies.
10. Apply a small amount of grease to the lip of the oil seal (17) (Figure 16-4, Page 16-4) or (15) (Figure 16-5,
Page 16-5).
11. Clean the splines on the axle shaft (1 and 2). Rotate the axle to align the shaft splines with the splined bore of
the differential side gear. Push the shaft in until the bearing seats against the shoulder in the axle tube (Fig-
ures 16-4 and 16-5, Pages 16-4 and 16-5).
12. Install the retaining ring (6) (Figures 16-4 and 16-5, Pages 16-4 and 16-5) in the axle tube. See WARNING
on page 16-6.
13. Make sure the drain plug is installed in the transaxle and tightened to 23 ft.lb (31 N-m). Fill the transaxle,
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 to 23 ft.lb (31 N-m).
