Transfer Output Shaft Thrust Clearance Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: If the transfer output shaft, the transfer output shaft bearing, the transmission housing bearing, the transmission housing, or the clutch housing were replaced, adjust the transfer output shaft thrust clearance with the 28.5 mm thrust shim.

Install the transfer output shaft (A) in the clutch housing.

Measure the clearance (1) between the rim of the clutch housing (B) and the 28.5 mm thrust shim contact area (C) using a straight edge (D) and a depth gauge in at least three places. Use the average as the actual clearance.
Measure the clearance (2) between the transmission housing bearing (A) and the rim of the transmission housing (B) using a straight edge (C) and a feeler gauge (D) in at least three places. Use the average as the actual clearance.

To make the standard clearance, select a 28.5 mm thrust shim from the table; subtract the middle of the standard clearance from the sum of (1) and (2).

Standard Clearance:

0.08- 0.17 mm (0.003- 0.006 in)

Basic Formula

(1) + (2) - 0.13* = Shim thickness

Therefore, select a closest size shim from the table.

*: Middle of the standard clearance.

For Example

(1): 1.47 mm (0.058 in)

(2): 0.58 mm (0.023 in)

1.47 + 0.58- 0.13 = 1.92

Select the type F (1.92 mm (0.0756 in)) shim.
