Recommended Sequence For Adjusting Gear Set

Recommended sequence for adjusting gear set, 01V, 5 SPD. A/T (AWD)
If drive pinion and gear ring have to be adjusted, the following sequence is recommended for maximum efficiency:
^ Determine total shim thickness "S total" (S1 Plus S2) to give specified preload on differential tapered roller bearings.
^ Determine total shim thickness "S total" (S3) for the specified preload on drive pinion tapered roller bearings.
^ Distribute total shim thickness "S total" (S1 Plus S2) so that the specified backlash between ring gear and drive pinion is achieved.

The object of the adjustment is to reproduce the setting for quietest possible running, as obtained on the test machine in production. Make sure that all installation and measurement procedures are performed with the utmost care and cleanliness to ensure a successful result.
