  4. Measure dimensions "ell1" and "ell2" at side cover and then calculate dimension "A".
    • Measure dimension "ell1" and "ell2" in at least two places. 
      1. "A": Distance between transmission case fitting surface and adjusting shim mating surface. 
      2. A = ell1 - ell2 ell2: Height of gauge

  5. Measure dimensions "ell2" and "ell3" and then calculate dimension "B".
    • Measure "ell2" and "ell3" in at least two places. 
      1. "B": Distance between the end of output shaft bearing outer race and the side cover fitting surface of transmission case. 
      2. B = ell2 - ell3 ell2: Height of gauge

  6. Select proper thickness of adjusting shim so that output shaft end play (clearance between side cover and output shaft bearing) is within specifications.
    1. Output shaft end play (A - B): 0 - 0.15 mm (0 - 0.0059 in) 
    2. Output shaft end play adjusting shims:  Refer to "OUTPUT SHAFT ADJUSTING SHIMS ".
  7. Install adjusting shim on output shaft bearing.
