Flex Plate: Adjustments

Adjusting Damper

Note:  The damper is adjusted to an installed distance of 18+1.2 mm by using spacers. Make measurement according to following procedures.

1. Install damper with a 4 mm thick spacer and insert circlip.
2. Push damper forward until it rests on circlip and tighten mounting bolt for clamping sleeve.

3. Place straight-edge on front bell housing and measure distance to drive dog.

Example:
Measured distance from bell housing
edge to damper hub          

25.00mm

Thickness of straight-edge 

- 5.00mm

Measured result             

20.00mm

Specified value           

- 18.00mm

Deviation from specified value 

2.00mm

Remove 4 mm thick spacer and install a 6mm thick spacer instead.
Recheck.

Note:  If measured result is less than specified value of 18 mm, a thinner spacer must be installed. Spacers are available as replacement parts in
thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm.

4. Loosen clamping sleeve bolt and tighten again only after damper is mounted on flywheel.
