A. Cover Side - add value A on the gear case hous-
ing to value B on the gear case cover; then add
1.5 mm. This will give you the proper shim
thickness.
B. Gear Case Side - install a 1.3-1.4 mm shim and
tighten the bolts to 25-31 ft-lb. Verify backlash
to be within a range of 0.28-0.38 mm
(0.011-0.015 in.) and end-play to be within a
range of 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in.). If not
within specification range, reselect shim until
backlash specification range can be verified.
