  7. Remove the 1st/2nd clutch shaft shim (74) from the transmission case (31).
  8. Measure the thickness of the shim.
    • In the above formula if the recorded height was less than the specification height, add the difference to the removed shim (74).
    • In the above formula if the recorded height was more than the specification height, subtract the difference from the removed shim (74).
  9. If the thickness of the shim is not the required thickness from the above formula, select from the table the correct thickness of shim. Refer to Shim Size Specifications .
  10. Install the correct 1st/2nd clutch shaft 65 mm selective shim (74) into the transmission case (31).
