CAUTION:
  • Whenever the transaxle has been disassembled, the bearing preload must be adjusted. The input shaft, output shaft and differential bearing preload can be adjusted by selecting shims to insert between the bearing races and the case on the case side.
CAUTION:
  • Assembly should only be carried out in a clean environment or damage to the transaxle may occur.
CAUTION:
  • Be careful not to scratch the sliding face or mating faces or damage to the transaxle may occur.
CAUTION:
  • Visually inspect all parts for any damage, deformation or abnormal wear. Replace any unsuitable parts with new parts only or damage to the transaxle may occur.
CAUTION:
  • Do not work on the transaxle with cotton gloves. Cotton threads could become dislodged and damage to the transaxle may occur.
CAUTION:
  • Replace all retaining pins, oil seals and bearings with new parts or damage to the transaxle may occur.
CAUTION:
  • Make sure to clean the old sealant from the mating threads of any sealed bolt or damage to the transaxle may occur.
