Prior to transaxle reassembly, all parts must be thor-
oughly cleaned and free of dirt, oil, grease, or resi-
due of any kind, free of nicks, burrs, or damage of
any kind to wear surfaces, and inspected for exces-
sive wear. Parts that are damaged or are not within
dimensional specifications should be replaced.
Because some mating parts with wear surfaces were
machined together when the transaxle was manufac
-
tured, or have established wear patterns during
operation, the reassembly of transaxle parts in their
original positions and orientations with their original
mating parts is critical to the performance and life
expectancy of the transaxle.
Make sure all threaded surfaces are clean and free of
gasket material/residue.
When tightening a number of screws or bolts in a
given pattern, tighten them in two stages. Tighten
them to 1/2 of specified torque in one pass through
the pattern, and then to specified torque on the sec
-
ond pass.
Fasteners that are plated, or are lubricated when installed, are
considered ‘‘wet“ and require approximately 80% of the speci
-
fied torque for ‘‘dry” fasteners. All transaxle fasteners are con-
sidered ‘‘wet”.
Because assemblies of moving parts establish wear patterns
together, it is recommended that all parts of an assembly be
replaced if one part is found to be damaged. Noise levels during
operation may be increased if only individual parts are
replaced.
