ADJUSTMENT — Differential Side Bearing Preload (Cont'd) + Mainshaft Bearing Preload (RS5F30A & RS5F31V)

MT-57prose procedure

Page applies to RS5F30A and RS5F31V transaxle variants.

Differential Side Bearing Preload (Cont'd)

Differential side bearing preload (continued)

  1. c
    Measure turning torque of final drive assembly.
    When old bearing is used again, turning torque will be slightly less than the above.
    Make sure torque in close to the specified range.
    Changes in turning torque of final drive assembly per revolution should be within 1.0 N·m (10 kg-cm, 8.7 in-lb) without binding.
    Turning torque of final drive assembly (New bearing): 2.0 - 7.8 N·m (20 - 80 kg-cm, 17 - 69 in-lb)
    Special tool KV38105900 (side-gear adapter) inserted into the final drive assembly with a torque wrench attached to measure turning torque of the final drive.
    SMT600
Turning torque of final drive assembly (new bearing)
20 - 76N·m
Change in turning torque per revolution (limit)without binding
9.8N·m

Mainshaft Bearing Preload

Mainshaft bearing preload adjustment

  1. 1
    Remove case cover, O-ring, spacer, mainshaft bearing adjusting shim and mainshaft rear bearing outer race from transmission case.
    Exploded view of mainshaft rear bearing components stacked above the transmission case: case cover, O-ring, spacer, mainshaft bearing adjusting shim, mainshaft rear bearing outer race.
    SMT613A
  2. 2
    Install mainshaft assembly on clutch housing.
  3. 3
    Install transmission case on clutch housing.
    Tighten transmission case fixing bolts to the specified torque.
  4. 4
    Reinstall mainshaft rear bearing outer race on inner race.
    Mainshaft rear bearing outer race placed back onto the inner race inside the transmission case.
    SMT650A
  5. 5
    Measure distance from transmission case to bearing outer race.
    Make sure that bearing is properly seated.
    Hands using a depth gauge or measuring tool through the transmission case opening down onto the mainshaft rear bearing outer race to measure the distance from case to bearing outer race.
    SMT599
  6. 6
    Select shim with S.D.S. table as a guide.
  7. 7
    Check total turning torque after assembling — Refer to "ASSEMBLY".
