Differential Shim Selection

Procedure

1. Place DT-47800-7 in the gap in DT-47800-2 which are both part of DT-47800, to determine the proper thrust washer. Choose the correct thrust washer. Refer to Taper Bearing Preload Selective Specifications .
2. Continue trying different sizes of DT-47800-7 which is part of DT-47800, until the gage will no longer fit into the gap. The correct thrust washer size is equal to the largest blade gage that fits into the gap.
3. Match the sizer of the correct DT-47800-7 blade which is part of DT-47800, to the color code in the thrust washer specification chart. The washer color coding is on the outside diameter of the washer.
4. The gap in DT-47800-2 which is part of DT-47800, may not be even. Hold the top of the gage and rotate the bottom of the gage to even out the gap. Take two gap measurements 180 degrees apart. Average the two measurements and select the thrust washer that is closest to the average.
5. The washer color coding is on the outside diameter of the washer.
