Select adjusting shim of T1, T2, and T3, respectively, by using the following equation.

T1 [Ring gear bearing adjusting shim (transfer case side)]

T1 = A - (B +X/2) +C +W - V - F - (M/100) +0.071 mm (0.0028 in)

T2 [Ring gear bearing adjusting shim (transfer cover side)]

T2 = - Y +Z +(B +X/2) - C - D - H +(M/100) +0.071 mm (0.0028 in)

T3 (Drive pinion adjusting shim)

T3 = - Q +(R +S/2) - K +(O/100)

Check dimension (M) on the ring gear side face.
