17. Final evaluation:
It may not be necessary to fully disassemble the transaxle to identify the damage or find the root cause of a war-
rantable failure.
At this point of disassembly, or some point earlier in the process, the technician should be able to make an
assessment of whether it is feasible to repair the transaxle. It should also be possible to positively identify what went
wrong in a warrantable transaxle replacement.
If the transaxle is to be warranted, reassemble it for shipping. It may be called back for inspection.
If repair is feasible, proceed by the following steps:
18. Assemble the pinion gear:
18a. Press-in new bearings, if necessary.
18b. Apply some Durina grease to the shaft and the contact surfaces between the base of the pinion gear and
the thrust washer.
18c. Insert the shaft and washer from the inside of the housing.
18d. Install the shim washers and E-clip previously removed, then check end-play and run-out.
• Add shims to reduce end-play.
• Take-out shims to increase end-play.
19. Assemble and install the bevel gear shaft:
19a. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound
to the splined section of the shaft.
19b. Slide the reverse gear, shift collar, and for-
ward gear onto the bevel gear shaft.
See Figure 6.104.
NOTE: The gears are identical. Forward and
reverse are functional references. The
reverse bevel gear is nearest the reduction
gear, while the forward gear is nearest the
brake rotor spline.
