ADJUSTMENT — Mainshaft & Differential Side Bearing Preload (Cont'd) (RS5F41A)

MT-30prose procedure

Page applies to RS5F41A transaxle only. Note: source text uses 'slighty' (sic) for 'slightly' in one warning; preserved verbatim.

Mainshaft & Differential Side Bearing Preload (Cont'd)

NOTE

Transaxle model: RS5F41A.

9
Determine total thickness of shims to be used at adjusters, using S.D.S. table as a guide.
10
To make sure the correct thickness of shim is selected, measure the following: (1) Turning torque of final drive only. (2) Total turning torque (measure after all component parts are assembled).

11
Insert differential side bearing adjusting shim(s) into transmission case and install final drive assembly to clutch housing. Tighten transmission case bolts. Then measure turning torque.
When old bearing is used again, preload will be slightly lower than that indicated above. Check preload to see if it is not far from specified range.
Final drive turning torque (New bearing): 1.5 - 3.4 N·m (15 - 35 kg-cm, 13 - 30 in-lb).
12
Assemble all component parts, referring to "Reassembly". Then measure turning torque.
When old bearing is used again, preload will be slighty lower than that indicated above. Check preload to see if it is not far from specified range.
Total turning torque — Overall: 2.9 - 7.4 N·m (30 - 75 kg-cm, 26 - 65 in-lb).
Total turning torque — Compared with final drive only: 1.5 - 3.9 N·m (15 - 40 kg-cm, 13 - 35 in-lb).

Specification	Value
Final drive turning torque (New bearing)	≈15 - 33N·m
Total turning torque — Overall	≈28 - 73N·m
Total turning torque — Compared with final drive only	≈15 - 38N·m
