1975 2.0 901 standard tranny...Three shims currently installed
I measure the three shims (gaskets) between the intermediate case and the tranny case...Measured individually and together, the total thickness as measured by a michrometer is .012...Converted to mm's that comes out to be .30 mm's... The gaskets come in three thicknesses, 1.mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm's... I can't get there from here...Where am I going wrong with my math... In the first place, these gaskets are paper thin, noway they are 1, 1.5 or 2 mm's thick... so I am thinking it's a sneaky european trick with the decimal points... Any help out there... 2-OH! |

I don't think color will work, I got a 1.mm, 1.5mm already and they are both tan...
But, I think I will assume the decimal is in the wrong spot, move it one place to the left and everything works out ok (mathmatically) ... What happens if I get it wrong and miss the total measurement by .004 or .006...Will the transmission not shift, slip, not mesh, explode, grind itself to death, etc... 2-OH! |
