Honda HR-V: Input Shaft Thrust Clearance Adjustment (CVT)

Special Tools Required

Mainshaft Holder 07GAJ-PG20110

Adjustment

NOTE: If the transmission housing, the torque converter housing, the input shaft assembly, the stator shaft, or the thrust needle bearing were replaced, the input shaft thrust clearance must be adjusted.

1. Input Shaft Thrust Clearance - Adjust

1. Install the input shaft assembly (A) by aligning the clutch discs (B) with the sun gear splines (C).

2. Install the stator shaft (A) with the 26 x 38.8 mm thrust shim (B) and the thrust needle bearing (C) as shown.

3. Install the transmission fluid lubrication pipe (A) by aligning the guide tab (B) with the guide hole (C).

4. Install the stator shaft flange (A) with the dowel pins (B) (C) by aligning the transmission fluid lubrication pipe (D) and the dowel pins (B) with the mounting holes (E).

6. Install the torque converter housing (A) with the dowel pins (B), and tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern in at least two steps.
7. Attach the mainshaft holder and a base plate (A) to the input shaft (B) as shown.

8. Set a dial indicator (C) on the tip of the input shaft
9. Tighten the mainshaft holder bolt (D) until it touches the base plate (E), then zero the dial indicator
10. Measure the input shaft thrust clearance (F) by tightening the mainshaft holder bolt to lift the input shaft up.

NOTE:

• Do not tighten the mainshaft holder bolt after the needle of the dial gauge stops moving. Applying more pressure with the mainshaft holder bolt could damage the transmission.
• Take measurements in at least three places, and use the average as the actual clearance.

Standard: 0.52-0.80 mm (0.0205-0.0315 in)

11. If the clearance is out of the standard, remove the 26 x 38.8 mm thrust shim, and measure its thickness.

1. 1.40 mm (0.0551 in)
2. 1.65 mm (0.0650 in)
3. 1.90 mm (0.0748 in)
4. 2.15 mm (0.0846 in)
5. 2.40 mm (0.0945 in)

12. Install a selected 26 x 38.8 mm thrust shim, then recheck the thrust clearance.
