Fig. 12 Adjusting differential bevel gears
- Insert large differential bevel gears with thinnest shims (0.5 mm).
- Insert small differential bevel gears (turned 180°) together with thrust washers.

Note: From this point on, do not interchange differential bevel gears and their respective thrust washers.

- Drive in differential bevel gear shaft.
- Press small differential bevel gears outward.
- Press large differential bevel gears in direction indicated (arrows), and check play.
- Determine thickest shims for large differential bevel gears (on each side) which still just fits.
- Shims for both sides should be of equal thickness.
- Identify shims according to table. Part numbers, Refer to Parts Supplier.





The above shims are available:





Note: The adjustment is also correct if no further play is perceptible, as long as the differential bevel gears can still be turned (arrow).
