Was wondering how the factory figured out how many shims to put in the case side intermediate plate in the first place?

And what are they shiming anyway? Does it make that much of a difference?

Just curious?

Olav,
I was able to retain the proper number and location of the shims in my transmission so that it runs fine without any gear whine. If you do want to change something, make sure that you follow the procedure in the factory manual, and double check your math multiple times.


Question.. Why is this thread OT? It is certainly on topic.


I'll preserve the current shim thickness. I was just wondering what it was for and how important it is. They just seem so thin that it didn't matter... but I know better now.

Thanks!


I marked it as OT as a funny (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) . With all the OT stuff going on it seem that 914 subjects are OT!
