SHIM SELECTION (FOR WORLDWIDE)
Pinion gear shim
NOTE:
Find the pinion gear shim thickness (T3) by
selecting shims until the specified measure-
ment (M) with the special tool is obtained.
1. Install the pinion gear onto the drive
shaft and tighten the pinion gear nut to
the specified torque.
2. Assemble the pinion height gauge with
the drive shaft and bearing as shown in
the illustration.
NOTE:
Attach the special tool onto the bearing
housing with at least two bolts.

Pinion gear nut:
95 Nm (9.5 m • kg, 69 ft • lb)
Pinion height gauge:
90890-06702
Digital caliper:
90890-06704
3. Using a digital caliper at the specified
measurement (M) established above,
measure the distance between the pin-
ion height gauge and lower surface of
the pinion as shown.
NOTE:
● “P” is the deviation of the lower case
dimension from standard. It is stamped
on the trim tab mounting surface of the
lower case in 0.01 mm units.
● If the “P” mark is missing or unreadable,
assume a “P” mark of “0” and check the
backlash when the unit is assembled.
Shim thickness (T3) =
M – 3.15 mm – P/100 mm
