Drive plate and ring gear assembly - refit - Drive
plates fitted with shimmed hub aligner
CAUTION: To prevent distortion to drive
plate when bolted to torque converter,
drive plate setting height must be checked
as follows:
1. Ensure bolt holes in crankshaft are clean and
dry. Fit original selective shim and hub aligner,
fit Allen bolts and tighten to 85 Nm (63 lbf.ft).
2. Fit drive plate assembly and clamp ring
ensuring that reference marks are aligned; fit
bolts and tighten to 45 Nm (33 lbf.ft).
CAUTION: If a new drive plate assembly is
being fitted, paint mark on plate must face
towards torque converter.
3. Check the setting height A.
Up to engine no. 42D00593A = 21.25 to
21.37 mm (0.83 to 0.84 in)
Up to engine no. 46D00450A = 7.69 to 7.81
mm (0.30 to 0.31 in)
4. If setting height is not as specified, remove
buttress ring, drive plate assembly, hub aligner
and selective shim.
5. Measure existing shim and, if necessary, select
appropriate shim to achieve setting height.
Shims available:
1.20 - 1.25mm (0.048 to 0.050 in)
