(Determining thickness of output shaft shim)
The output shaft must be re-adjusted when the following components are renewed:
t  Gearbox housing
t  Clutch housing
t  Output shaft for 1st - 4th gear, or
t  Tapered roller bearing for output shaft
Table of adjustments → Chapter
Requirements:

l  When taking measurements, install only the output shaft that is to be measured.
   
–  Press tapered roller bearing outer race with shim (thickness 1.70 mm) into gearbox housing. Support gearbox housing with thrust piece -2050- directly below bearing mounting.
–  Fit complete 1st to 4th gear output shaft into clutch housing.

–  Set up measuring tools and secure with bolt -arrow- to clutch housing.
–  Set dial gauge (3 mm measuring range) to „0“ with 1 mm preload.
–  Loosen clutch housing/gearbox housing securing bolts diagonally until output shaft is free to move in gearbox housing.
–  Read off play on gauge and note reading (example: 0.14 mm).
  Note
If no play is indicated on dial gauge when clutch housing/gearbox housing securing bolts are loosened, fit a 1.95 mm shim (or if necessary a 2.20 mm shim) → Electronic parts catalogue for performing the measurement.
