Manual Transaxle Unit: Inspection
- INSPECT 6TH GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
- Using a feeler gauge, measure the 6th gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.10 to 0.60 mm (0.0039 to 0.0236 in.)
- Using a feeler gauge, measure the 6th gear thrust clearance.
- INSPECT 5TH GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
- Using a dial indicator, measure the 5th gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.10 to 0.62 mm (0.0039 to 0.0244 in.)
- Using a dial indicator, measure the 5th gear thrust clearance.
- INSPECT 6TH GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
- Using a dial indicator, measure the 6th gear radial clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.009 to 0.050 mm (0.0004 to 0.0020 in.)
If the clearance is out of the specification, replace the 6th gear needle roller bearing.
- Using a dial indicator, measure the 6th gear radial clearance.
- INSPECT 5TH GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
- Using a dial indicator, measure the 5th gear radial clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.015 to 0.056 mm (0.0006 to 0.0022 in.)
If the clearance is out of specification, replace the 5th gear needle roller bearing.
- Using a dial indicator, measure the 5th gear radial clearance.
- INSPECT TRANSMISSION HUB SLEEVE NO. 3
- Check the sliding condition between the transmission hub sleeve No. 3 and transmission clutch hub No. 3.
- Check that the tip of the spline gear of the transmission hub sleeve No. 3 is not worn down.
- Using vernier calipers, measure the width of the transmission hub sleeve No. 3 groove (A) and the thickness of the claw part on the gear shift fork No. 3 (B), and calculate the clearance.
Standard clearance (A - B):
0.31 to 0.89 mm (0.0122 to 0.035 in.)
If the clearance is out of specification, replace the transmission hub sleeve No. 3 and gear shift fork No. 3.
- INSPECT SYNCHRONIZER RING NO. 3 (for 6th Gear)
- Check for wear or damage.
- Coat the 6th gear cone with gear oil. Turn the synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing it against the 6th gear cone. Check that the ring locks. If the synchronizer outer ring does not lock, replace the ring or the 6th gear.
- Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.
Standard clearance:
0.75 to 1.65 mm (0.0295 to 0.065 in.)
If the clearance is out of specification, replace the synchronizer ring No. 3.
- INSPECT 6TH GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY
- INSPECT SYNCHRONIZER RING NO. 3 (for 5th Gear)
- Coat the 5th gear cone with gear oil. Turn the synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing it against the 5th gear cone. Check that the ring locks. If the synchronizer outer ring does not lock, replace the ring or the 5th gear.
- Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the synchronizer ring back and 5th gear spline end.
Standard clearance:
0.75 to 1.65 mm (0.0295 to 0.0650 in.)
If the clearance is out of specification, replace the synchronizer ring No. 3.
- INSPECT 5TH GEAR
- INSPECT REVERSE IDLER GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Using a caliper gauge, inspect the reverse idler gear sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.
Inner diameter:
INNER DIAMETERNew gear: mm (in.) Maximum inner diameter: mm (in.) 18.040 to 18.058 (0.7102 to 0.7109) 18.058 (0.7109) If the inner diameter exceeds the maximum, replace the reverse idler gear sub-assembly.
- Using a micrometer, inspect the reverse idler gear shaft as shown in the illustration.
Outer diameter:
OUTER DIAMETERNew idler gear shaft: mm (in.) Minimum outer diameter: mm (in.) 17.966 to 17.984 (0.7073 to 0.7080) 17.966 (0.7073) If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the reverse idler gear shaft.
- Using a caliper gauge, inspect the reverse idler gear sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.
