Shim thickness calculations

Type 1st – 4th gear output shaft 5th, 6th and reverse gear output shaft Differential assembly
Measuring shims (mm) - - +1,10
Measured end float (example) (mm) +1,56 +1,51 +0,36
Addition value (mm) to obtain correct bearing pre-load +0,17 +0,15 +0,20
Required shim thickness (example) (mm) = 1.73 = 1.66 = 1.66
Available shims (mm) 1.44 - 2.28 (in 0.02 mm steps)* 1.44 - 2.28 (in 0.02 mm steps)* 1.44 - 2.28 (in 0.02 mm steps)*

* If the thickness of the measured shim is odd, select the shim with the next higher thickness value.

Transmission Ratios with short Final Drive

2.2L diesel engine Internal Gearbox Ratio(s) Final Drive Ratio(s) Overall Ratio(s)
1st gear 3.818 4.929 18.819
2nd gear 2.150 4.929 10.597
3rd gear 1.276 4.929 6.289
4th gear 0,868 4.929 4.278
5th gear 0.943 3.450 3.253
6th gear 0.789 3.450 2.722
Reverse gear 1.423 3.450 18.744

* The overall ratio for reverse gear is calculated by multiplying the internal gearbox ratio for reverse gear, 1st gear and the final drive ratio of the 5th/6th and reverse gear output shaft.

Transmission Ratios with long Final Drive

2.2L diesel engine Internal Gearbox Ratio(s) Final Drive Ratio(s) Overall Ratio(s)
1st gear 3.818 4.357 16.635
2nd gear 2.150 4.357 9.368
3rd gear 1.276 4.357 5.560
4th gear 0,868 4.357 3.782
5th gear 0.943 3.050 2.876
6th gear 0.789 3.050 2.406
Reverse gear 1.423 3.050 16.571

* The overall ratio for reverse gear is calculated by multiplying the internal gearbox ratio for reverse gear, 1st gear and the final drive ratio of the 5th/6th and reverse gear output shaft.
