  1. Remove two fluid pump cover seal rings (774) on the rear of the pump cover hub.
  2. Remove the fluid pump cover seal (768) from the fluid pump body (767).
  3. Remove 11 fluid pump cover bolts.
  4. Remove the fluid pump cover (771) from the fluid pump body (767).
  5. Remove the input shaft fluid seal (torque converter hub seal) (766).

  6. Object Number: 143482  Size: SH
  7. Inspect the input shaft fluid seal (torque converter hub seal) (766) for wear or damage. Replace as necessary.

  8. Object Number: 143483  Size: SH
  9. Inspect the fluid pump cover seal rings for cuts, wear or other damage.

  10. Object Number: 143484  Size: SH
  11. Inspect the fluid pump gear crescent (772) for unusual wear or damage.

  12. Object Number: 143485  Size: SH
  13. Measure the pump body driven gear clearance. Move the pump driven gear (770) to one side of the pump body. Then use a feeler gage in order to measure the clearance between the pump body (767) and the driven gear (770). Standard clearance is 0.07-0.15 mm (0.0028-0.0059 in). If clearance exceeds 0.30 mm (0.011 in), replace the pump driven gear (770).

  14. Object Number: 144007  Size: SH
  15. Measure the pump drive/driven gear tip clearance by placing a feeler gage between the gear teeth and the gear crescent. Standard tip clearance is 0.11-0.14 mm (0.0044-0.0055 in). If clearance exceeds 0.30 mm (0.011 in), replace the pump drive and driven gears.

  16. Object Number: 144009  Size: SH
  17. Measure the pump drive gear/driven gear side clearance. Place a J 34673 across the pump body and use a feeler gage in order to measure the clearance between the pump body (767) and the drive/driven gears (769/770). Standard side clearance should measure 0.02-0.05 mm (0.0008-0.0019 in). If clearance exceeds 0.1 mm (0.0039 in), replace the pump drive/driven gears.

  18. Object Number: 144011  Size: SH
  19. Install the pump drive/driven gears into the pump body (767). Lubricate with J 36850 .
  20. Inspect the pump drive/driven gears for smooth operation.
  21. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  22. Install the pump cover (771) to the pump body (767) with eleven pump body bolts.
  23. Tighten
    Tighten the pump cover bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).

  24. Install two pump cover seal rings onto the pump cover hub. Lubricate the rings with J 36850 .
  25. Install a new pump cover seal to the pump body (767). Lubricate the seal with J 36850 .

  26. Object Number: 144013  Size: SH
  27. Install the input shaft fluid seal (torque converter hub seal) (766), using a J 9617 .

  28. Object Number: 144015  Size: SH
  29. Install a flat, outer input shaft bearing race (778) on the rear hub of the fluid pump cover (771). Lubricate the bearing race with J 36850 , so that the bearing race will adhere to the rear of the fluid pump cover hub.

  30. Object Number: 144020  Size: SH
  31. Install the direct clutch outer washer (775) on the fluid pump cover (771). Lubricate with J 36850 and fit the washer into the notch of the fluid pump cover. The notch is indicated in the illustration by the number 1.

  32. Object Number: 144022  Size: SH
  33. Install the input shaft inner race (780), with the flange facing up, onto the input shaft (776). Install the input shaft bearing (779) onto the input shaft (776). Lubricate with J 36850 .

  34. Object Number: 144024  Size: SH
  35. Install the fluid pump to the transaxle case. Lubricate the input shaft, the pump cover seal rings and the pump cover seal with J 36850 . Gently push down until you make contact with the case. Use caution not to drop the input shaft bearing outer race on the rear of the fluid pump cover hub.
  36. Install the six fluid pump body bolts (765).
  37. Tighten
    Tighten the fluid pump body bolts to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).


    Object Number: 144029  Size: SH
  38. Measure the input shaft end play by positioning the J 8001 on the end of the input shaft (776). Then grasp the input shaft and move the shaft up and down. The input shaft end play should measure 0.3-0.9 mm (0.012-0.035 in). If the input shaft end play exceeds specification, remove the fluid pump and replace the outer input shaft bearing race on the fluid pump side.
