UPGRADE KIT SPACER MEASUREMENT FORMULA
Due to the change in gasket thickness when the rubber coated metal gasket is installed, the following procedures should be followed to arrive at the
correct differential end play and transfer shaft preload (where applicable). All other transaxle assembly procedures remain the same.
NOTE:
On various automatic transaxles the transfer shaft was supported either by a bearing on the end of the shaft ("end supported"), or by both
bearings between the gears ("center supported"). End supported transfer shafts will need new spacers, center supported transfer shafts will not.
> When changing from rubber impregnated fiber gasket to rubber coated metal gasket is the only operation (as in repairing a case gasket leak) follow
these steps:
1.
Remove the converter housing and remove the spacers for both the differential and the transfer shaft (if end supported type transfer shaft).
2.
Measure the thickness of the removed spacer(s). Select a spacer which is 0.1mm thicker than the measured thickness and install the new
thicker spacer in the transaxle housing.
3.
Clean the gasket mounting surface of the transmission case and coat it with silicone grease (not sealant). Install the new rubber coated metal
gasket. Install the new o-ring to the oil pump. Reinstall the converter housing and tighten the bolts to specified torque
> When replacement of housing, shafts, differentials, gears or bearings will change the end play and preload specifications while changing to the new
gasket, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the converter housing and remove the spacers for both the differential and the transfer shaft (if end supported type transfer shaft).
2.
Place solder approx. 10mm long and 3mm in diameter on each of the differential spacer and transfer shaft spacer mounting areas. Reinstall
the converter housing without installing the transmission case gasket and tighten the bolts to specified torque.
3.
Loosen the bolts, remove the converter housing and take out the solder
4.
Figure the differential end play.
a.
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the flattened differential solder.
b.
Add together the solder thickness (T) as measured above, and the gasket thickness [0.38mm (0.015 in.)].
c.
Then, for the differential end play add the end play range values to that sum to obtain the acceptable differential spacer thickness range
Standard differential case end play:
0 - 0.15mm (O - 0.006in.)
The formula for finding the correct spacer would be as follows:
Solder thickness + gasket thickness + 0mm (0in.) = smallest possible spacer Solder thickness + gasket thickness + 0.15mm (0.006in) =
largest possible spacer.
d.
Select a differential spacer that falls within this range.
5.
Figure the transfer shaft preload (for vehicles with end supported transfer shafts only).
a.
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the flattened transfer shaft solder.
b.
Add together the solder thickness (T) as measured above, and the gasket thickness [0.38mm (0.015 in.)].
c.
Then, for the transfer shaft preload subtract the preload range values from that sum to obtain the acceptable transfer shaft spacer
thickness range
Standard transfer shaft preload:
0.1 - 0.15mm (0.004 - 0.006in.)
The formula for finding the correct spacer would be as follows:
Solder thickness + gasket thickness - 0.1mm (0.004in.) = smallest possible spacer. Solder thickness + gasket thickness - 0.15mm
(0.006in.) = largest possible spacer.
d.
Select transfer shaft spacer that falls within this range.
6.
Install the selected spacers to the housing.
7.
Clean the gasket mounting the transmission case and coat it with silicone grease (not sealant) install the new rubber coated metal gasket.
Install the new o-ring to the oil pump. Reinstall the converter housing and tighten the bolts to specified torque.
