This is page AT-44 from a Nissan service manual, in the Automatic Transaxle (AT) section, covering ASSEMBLY. The page instructs the technician to use the accompanying illustration as a guide for installation procedures and locations when installing/assembling the needle bearings and bearing races in the automatic transaxle. The illustration is a detailed cutaway/exploded view of the transaxle assembly (including a cross-section of the final drive/differential area) with leader lines pointing to the correct locations for multiple shims, thrust washers, bearing races, and thrust needle bearings. Parts marked with an asterisk (*) carry a special note: when installing, apply vaseline (petroleum jelly) to those parts so they will not drop off during assembly. The figure is identified as SAT666. Faint mirrored bleed-through text from the reverse page reads "DIFF. SIDE BEARING ADJUSTMENT, Type B (Cont'd)." A reader learns which washers and races go where in the transaxle, and the vaseline retention technique for holding parts in place during assembly. No torque values, part numbers, or model-year applicability are stated on this page itself.
