Input Shaft Adjusting



Input shaft adjusting, 012/01W, 5 SPD. M/T
(Determine circlips for input shaft)

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Fitting Sleeve 30 - 100:




Spacer Gage 3167:





^ Depth gauge

A new input shaft adjustment is required when the following components have been replaced:

^ Transmission housing
^ Input shaft
Or the
^ Ball bearing





^ Clamp input shaft in vise with protective jaws - A -.
^ Place Spacer Gage 3167 on 3rd gear.
^ Place transmission housing over input shaft onto spacer gauge.





^ Place depth gauge onto transmission housing and measure through lower groove for the circlip on input shaft.
^ Measured value in the following example: "a" = 28.50 mm





^ Place depth gauge onto transmission housing and measure through ball bearing contact surface.
^ Measured value in the following example: "b" = 26.80 mm

Determining circlip thickness "X" behind the input shaft ball bearing
Formula: "X" = dimension "a" - dimension "b"





Determine circlip according to table.

Available circlips





Determining circlip in front of the input shaft ball bearing

Drive rear circlip (as calculated) and ball bearing onto input shaft using press tube 30-100.





^ Determine thickest circlip which can still just be installed.
^ Determine circlip according to table.
