ADJUSTMENT
SELECTION OF MAIN SHAFT SNAP RING AND WASHER

NOTE: Perform the following procedures when:
^ Replacing the 1st to 6th driven gear.
^ Replacing the 1st and 2nd synchro ring assembly.
^ Replacing the ball bearing.
^ Replacing the adapter plate.
^ Replacing the driven shaft.

1. Insert the drive pinion assembly in adapter plate.

ST 18853AA000 HEIGHT GAUGE





NOTE:
^ Remove the remaining gasket on edge surface with scraper, since the adapter plate is base point of measurement.
^ Do not place the height gauge on shaded area in the figure during measurement.





3. Measure the height to edge surface of ball bearing (height H).





NOTE: Set the indicator of height gauge near measuring object, then lock the dial (1) as shown in the figure. Turn dial (2) to set the indicator to edge surface of bearing.

Measure the five points of ball bearing by turning every approx. 120°. Round off each two upper and lower measurement value. Use the remaining center value as measurement value.
4. According to measurement value, select the snap ring and washer from the following table.
