  1. Place two beads of solder [each 10 mm (0.39 inch) in length, 3 mm (0.12 inch) in diameter] on the torque converter housing as shown in illustration.
  2. Install the adjusting thrust washer having minimum thickness.
  3. Use the special tool Guide MD998412 to install a new oil pump gasket and the oil pump. Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts to 29 ± 2 N.m (21 ± 1 ft-lb).
  4. Remove the oil pump mounting bolts.
  5. Using special tools MD998333, remove the oil pump and the crushed solders.
  6. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the crushed solder beads and record the measured value.
  7. Select a thrust washer number 1 whose thickness corresponds to the measured value from table below WASHER THICKNESS SPECIFICATION MEASUREMENT VALUE mm (in) THICKNESS mm (in) ID SYMBOL 2.25-2.45 (0.089-0.096) 1.8 (0.071) 18 2.45-2.65 (0.096-0.104) 2.0 (0.079) 20 2.65-2.85 (0.104-0.112) 2.2 (0.087) 22 2.85-3.05 (0.112-0.120) 2.4 (0.094) 24 3.05-3.25 (0.120-0.128) 2.6 (0.102) 26 3.25-3.45 (0.128-0.136) 2.8 (0.110) 28

MEASUREMENT USING PLASTIGAGE

  1. Put Plastigage (about 10 mm (0.039 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the underdrive clutch retainer.
  2. Install the adjusting thrust washer having the minimum thickness.
  3. Use the special tool Guide MD998412 to install a new oil pump gasket and the oil pump. Tighten the oil pump mounting bolts to 29 ± 2 N.m (21 ± 1 ft-lb).
  4. Remove the oil pump mounting bolts.
  5. Using special tools MD998333, remove the oil pump and then take out crushed Plastigage.
  6. If the plastigage have not crushed, use thicker adjusting thrust washer and repeat steps 3 to 5.
  7. Measure the width of the crushed plastigage at its widest part using a scale printed on the plastigage package.
  8. Select the thrust washer, calculated by the following formula, in the table. T = T3 + T2 T: Clearance mm T3: The crushed plastigage thickness mm T2: The thrust washer thickness used for measurement mm.

AVAILABLE THRUST WASHER SPECIFICATION

CAUTIONIf solder is not available, select the thrust washer in accordance with Plastigage method. If the thrust washer appropriate for the standard value cannot be selected using solder, select the thrust washer in accordance with Plastigage method.
  1. Put solders (1.0 mm (0.039 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the converter housing.
  2. Use special tools MB990935 and MB990938 to press the outer race into housing.
  3. Install the torque converter housing to the transaxle case without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to 48 ± 6 N.m (35 ± 4 ft-lb).
  4. Remove the bolts and converter housing, and take out the solder pieces.
  5. If the solders have not crushed, use thicker solders (1.6 mm (0.063 inch) diameter, about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) and repeat steps 2 to 4.
  6. Measure the thickness of the crushed solder with a micrometer, and then select a spacer that will provide the standard value. Spacer thickness: (T1 - 0.045 mm (0.0018 inch) to (T1 - 0.105 mm (0.0041 inch) T1: The crushed solder thickness mm (inch) Standard value: 0.045-0.105 mm (0.0018-0.0041 inch) .
  1. Put Plastigage (about 10 mm (0.39 inch) long) in the illustrated positions of the converter housing.
  2. Install the adjusting spacer having the minimum thickness.
  3. Use special tools MB990935 and MB990938 to press the differential bearing outer race into the torque converter housing.
  4. Install the torque converter housing to the transaxle case without applying sealant. Tighten its mounting bolts to 48 ± 6 N.m (35 ± 4 ft-lb).
  5. Remove the bolts and converter housing, and take out crushed plastigage.
  6. If the plastigage have not crushed, replace the spacer with a thicker one and repeat steps 3 to 5.
  7. Measure the width of the crushed plastigage at its widest part using a scale printed on the plastigage package, and then select a spacer that will provide the standard value. Spacer thickness: (T3 - 0.045 mm (0.0018 inch) to (T3 - 0.105 mm (0.0041 inch) T3: The crushed plastigage thickness mm (inch) Standard value: 0.045-0.105 mm (0.0018-0.0041 inch).
