Determining shim(s): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The thickness of the shim(s) is determined by gap x. Use the following formula:

Gap x = a - b - 2.65 mm

The measuring points are shown in the illustration to help understanding the formula. Special tool 3459, which exerts a force -F- onto the plate packet via the retaining ring, is not illustrated.

Determining dimension -a-. Refer to Calculating dimension "a" .

Determining dimension -b-. Refer to Calculating dimension "b" .

2.65 mm = amount for settling is taken into account by force F.

1 - ATF pump

2 - Retaining ring

3 - Plates for -B2- without last outer plate

4 - Supporting tube

NOTE: First outer plate (arrow) and last outer plate (do not install to measure!) are always 3 mm thick.
