Flex Plate: Adjustments
Adjusting DamperNote: The damper is adjusted to an installed distance of 18+1.2 mm by using spacers. Make measurement according to following procedures.
1. Install damper with a 4 mm thick spacer and insert circlip.
2. Push damper forward until it rests on circlip and tighten mounting bolt for clamping sleeve.
3. Place straight-edge on front bell housing and measure distance to drive dog.
Example:
Measured distance from bell housing
edge to damper hub 25.00mm
Thickness of straight-edge - 5.00mm
Measured result 20.00mm
Specified value - 18.00mm
Deviation from specified value 2.00mm
Remove 4 mm thick spacer and install a 6mm thick spacer instead.
Recheck.
Note: If measured result is less than specified value of 18 mm, a thinner spacer must be installed. Spacers are available as replacement parts in thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm.
4. Loosen clamping sleeve bolt and tighten again only after damper is mounted on flywheel.
