Recommended Sequence For Adjusting Gear Set



Recommended Sequence for Adjusting Gear Set - 6 Spd. Manual Transmission 0A3 All Wheel Drive





If drive pinion and gear ring have to be adjusted, the following sequence is recommended for maximum efficiency:

^ Determine shim "S3" so that the dimension from center of ring gear to facing drive of drive pinion corresponds to the installation dimension determined during production.
^ Determine shim "S4" for double angular contact ball bearing preload.
^ Total shim thickness "S total" Determine (S 1 plus S 2) for specified preload of tapered roller bearing/differential.
^ Total shim thickness "S total" Distribute (S 1 plus S 2) so that the specified torsional backlash is present between ring gear and drive pinion.
