Outback Sport F4-2.5L SOHC (2005)
T = 90.50 - 90.35 + 0.2 = 0.35
[T = 3.5630 - 3.5571 + 0.0079 = 0.0138]
Calculation formula for "T" is applied when measuring using ST (398643600 GAUGE). When not using ST, apply
T = (A - a + 0.45 mm) - (B - b) - H
[T = (A - a + 0.0177 in) - (B - b) - H].
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Distance from the end surface of collar as substitute for ST to the rear drive shaft ball bearing outer ring contact surface
B: Distance from the mating surface of transmission case to the end surface of collar as substitute for ST
a: Collar thickness used when measuring "A"
b: Collar thickness used when measuring "B"
0.45: Gasket thickness (mm)
H: Shim clearances
After calculation, the value of "T" becomes between 0.35 mm (0.0138 in) and 0.55 mm (0.0216 in), therefore select two shims with thickness
of 0.2 mm (0.010 in) or one shim with thickness of 0.5 mm (0.020 in)
