TRANSMISSION V45 If the difference in measurements exceeds the limit, it indicates that the bearing is not installed squarely. Inspect the bearings and reinstall if necessary. If backlash is excessive, replace the countershaft gear adjustment shim with a thinner one. If the backlash is too small, replace the countershaft shim with a thicker one. Backlash is changed by about 0.06-0.07 mm (0.002-0.003 in) when thickness of the shim is changed by 0.10 mm (0.004 in). COUNTERSHAFT/OUTPUT DRIVE GEAR ADJUSTMENT SHIMS: A: 0.04 mm (0.002 in) B: 0.20 mm (0.008 in) C: 0.25 mm (0.010 in) D: 0.30 mm (0.012 in) standard E: 0.35 mm (0.014 in) F: 0.40 mm (0.016 in) SHIM OUTPUT GEAR CASE GASKET SELECTION NOTE: The output gear must be assembled for this selection procedure to be accurate. This selection is only necessary when the gear set, drive gear bearing or gear case is replaced or if the original gasket was not marked or measured when removed. Measure the thickness of the countershaft adjustment shim (thrust washer on the left side). Install a washer on the shaft. NOTE: The washer is used to provided a flat surface for the preload inspection tool and enough space to make an accurate measurement A (shown on next page). Any think washer with an I.D. that will fit over the shaft will work (such as the countershaft right end thrust washer). nstall the preload inspection tool 07998-4150000 on the shaft against the washer and tighten the set screw.
