If the friction torque is reached but the second bearing cap has not
yet been tightened to the specified tightening torque,

refer to Technical Data,

a thicker shim must be installed on the crown gear side and the
measurement must be repeated.

To make it easier to establish the correct shim thickness, the gap
between shim and transmission case can be measured with a
feeler gauge and added to the thickness of shim used.

Example:

Second bearing cap not tightened (bolts screwed in uniformly).

Friction torque (shaft seals yet installed),

refer to Technical Data.

Gap measured with blade

0.20 mm

Used shim

1.40 mm

New shim

1.60 mm

Install new shim with thickness of 1.60 mm and repeat
measurement.
