If the friction torque is reached, although the second bearing cover
has not yet been tightened to the specified torque,

refer to Technical Data

a thicker shim must be installed beside the crown wheel and the
measurement must be repeated.

To make it easier to discover the shim thickness, the gap between
shim and transmission case can be measured with a feeler gauge
and then added to the thickness used for the shim.

Example:

Second bearing cover not tightened (screws evenly hand-
tightened).

Friction torque, refer to Technical Data

Gap measured with blade

0.20 mm

Used shim

1.40 mm
