Shim Selection Formula
10. Select the proper 60.2 mm shim from the table. Follow the example below, and use the measurements you made in step 7 to 9.
(Basic Formula)
(1) + (2) - ((3) + 0.19) = shim thickness
0.19 mm (0.007 inch): middle of the clearance standard.
Clearance Standard: 0.14-0.24 mm (0.006-0.009 inch)
(For example)
(1) = 6.12 mm (0.241 inch)
(2) = 15.3 mm (0.602 inch)
(3) = 19.56 mm (0.770 inch)
6.12 + 15.3 - (19.56 + 0.19) = 1.67 mm
Select the 1.60 mm shim from the table.
11. Place one strip of plastigage (A) on 60.2 mm shim contact area of planetary gear (B).
Install the 60.2 mm shim (C), needle bearing (D) and the ring rear (E).
