9. Manually expand the selector until it no longer turns by hand.
10. Verify that both the primary and secondary shafts turn smoothly.
11. Measure the clearance between the two halves of the SST (selector) around the circumference by using a feeler gauge.
12. Take the maximum reading and determine the shim to be used. Use no more than two shims.
^
Primary shaft adjustment shim select the thinner shim from the table to obtain 0 - 0.05 mm (0 - 0.002 inch). Example: Reading from step 11 =
0.57 mm (0.022 inch). Shim selection range: [0.57 mm (0.022 inch) - 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)] - [0.57 mm (0.022 inch) - 0 mm (0 inch)] = 0.52
mm (0.020 inch) - 0.57 mm (0.022 inch). Shim: 0.55 mm (0.022 inch)
^
Secondary shaft adjustment shim select the thinner shim from the table to obtain 0.03 - 0.08 mm (0.001 - 0.003 inch). Example: Reading from
step 11 = 0.57 mm (0.022 inch). Shim selection range: [0.57 mm (0.022 inch) + 0.03 mm (0.001 inch)] - [0.57 mm (0.022 inch) + 0.08 mm
(0.003 inch)] = 0.60 mm (0.024 inch) - 0.65 mm (0.026 inch). Shim: 0.60 mm (0.024 inch)
13. Install the SST to the differential.
