Special Tools Required
- Shim selector set 5-8840-0053-0 (J-33373)
Shim adjustment
Select shims for installation between each bearing outer race and bearing retainer as follows:
- Install the input shaft assembly (A), output shaft assembly (B) and differential assembly (C) to the clutch housing (D).
- Place each bearing outer race over each bearing.
- Place the special tool onto the bearing outer race.
- Place the seven spacers included in the shim selector set on every other mounting bolt hole.
- Place the transmission case (A) over the clutch housing (B). Tighten the bolts (included in the shim selector set) to the specified torque.
Torque:
17 Nm (1.8 kgf/m, 13 lbf/ft)
- Turn the input shaft and each gear in both directions several times to seat the gauge.
- Compress the two gauges. Use the appropriate shims. Measure the gap between the outer sleeve and the base pad.
- To permit smooth installation of the differential to the gap, use a shim (A) that is 3 sizes too large. To permit smooth installation of the output shaft to the gap, use a shim that is 1 size too large.
- When each of the two shims have been selected, remove the transmission case, seven spacers and two gauges.
