Adjusting The Drive Set (Transmission G 86): General
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Careful adjustment of the output shaft and crown wheel are crucial to the service life and smooth running of the final drive. Therefore, output shafts and crown wheels are paired with each other as early as during manufacture and are checked by special inspection machines to ensure that the tooth bearing is in a good position and that there is low noise in both rotation directions.
The deviation "r" referred to the master gauge "Ro" is measured for the drive sets supplied as spare parts and is recorded on the outer circumference of the crown wheel. Every drive set (output shaft and crown wheel) must be replaced only together.
