Total End Play
- Total end play is adjusted by adjusting bearing race thickness. Using a depth gauge and straightedge, measure dimensions "K" and "L". Dimension "K" minus Dimension "L" equals distance between oil pump surface of transaxle case and needle bearing mating surface of high clutch drum (Dimension "J"). See Fig 1.
- Install bearing race and needle bearing on oil pump assembly. Measure distance between transaxle case surface and needle bearing on oil pump cover (Dimension "M").
- Dimension "M1" minus straightedge thickness equals Distance "M". Dimension "J" minus Dimension "M" equals total end play. See Fig 1. Total end play should be .010-.022" (.25-.55 mm). Bearing races are available in thicknesses of .024-.087" (.60-2.20 mm) in increments of .015" (.40 mm). Select proper thickness of bearing race to ensure total end play is as specified.
