INSPECT 1ST GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the 1st gear thrust clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.20 to 0.38 mm (0.00788 to 0.0149 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| 0.38 mm (0.0149 in.) |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the No. 1 transmission clutch hub, 1st gear bush or 1st gear. Replace the part or parts determined to be the most likely cause of the problem.
INSPECT 2ND GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the 2nd gear thrust clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.15 to 0.33 mm (0.00591 to 0.0129 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| 0.33 mm (0.0129 in.) |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the inner 2nd gear bearing race, No. 1 transmission clutch hub, 2nd gear or 3rd driven gear. Replace the part or parts determined to be the most likely cause of the problem.
INSPECT 1ST GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the 1st gear radial clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| for TMC Made |
| 0.009 to 0.077 mm (0.000355 to 0.00303 in.) |
| except TMC Made |
| 0.009 to 0.075 mm (0.000355 to 0.00295 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| for TMC Made |
| 0.077 mm (0.00303 in.) |
| except TMC Made |
| 0.075 mm (0.00295 in.) |
Tech Tips
Two different manual transaxle models produced by different manufacturers are available for this vehicle.
Referring to the Introduction section, check the serial number. Confirm which manufacturer produced the manual transaxle according to the following table.
| Serial Number | Manufacturer |
|---|---|
| ##JTR############ | for TMC Made |
| ##EPP############ | except TMC Made |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the 1st gear, 1st gear needle roller bearing or output shaft. Replace the part or parts determined to be the most likely cause of the problem.
INSPECT 2ND GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the 2nd gear radial clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| for TMC Made |
| 0.009 to 0.077 mm (0.000355 to 0.00303 in.) |
| except TMC Made |
| 0.009 to 0.075 mm (0.000355 to 0.00295 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| for TMC Made |
| 0.077 mm (0.00303 in.) |
| except TMC Made |
| 0.075 mm (0.00295 in.) |
