#### Output Shaft and Differential Thrust Clearance Adjustment

13-31

Special Tools Required

- Shim selector set 5-8840-0053-0 (J-33373)

Shim adjustment

Select shims for installation between each bearing outer race and bearing retainer as follows:

1. Install the input shaft assembly (A), output shaft assembly (B) and differential assembly (C) to the clutch housing (D).

1. Place each bearing outer race over each bearing.

1. Place the special tool onto the bearing outer race.

1. Place the seven spacers included in the shim selector set on every other mounting bolt hole.

1. Place the transmission case (A) over the clutch housing (B). Tighten the bolts (included in the shim selector set) to the specified torque.

Torque:

17 Nm (1.8 kgf/m, 13 lbf/ft)

1. Turn the input shaft and each gear in both directions several times to seat the gauge.

1. Compress the two gauges. Use the appropriate shims. Measure the gap between the outer sleeve and the base pad.

1. To permit smooth installation of the differential to the gap, use a shim (A) that is 3 sizes too large. To permit smooth installation of the output shaft to the gap, use a shim that is 1 size too large.

1. When each of the two shims have been selected, remove the transmission case, seven spacers and two gauges.
