On page 5.1-5/3 of the factory manual, bottom right, it says: "NOTE The values are always rounded off to the next 0.05 mm."
My adjusting dimension is 63.35mm, and after adding .3mm of gasket the measurement comes out to 63.32. Do they mean I should always round UP to the next .05mm (63.35), or do they mean I should round to the NEAREST .05mm (63.30)? I suspect that this clarity issue comes from a translation from german.. but maybe not. I can only add or subtract gaskets in .05mm increments, so I can either leave it at 63.32mm or I can make it 63.37mm. What do I do? |

YES! Nailed it.. .006"!
I had already moved the intermediate plate as much as I was comfortable with (calculated pinion depth fell nearly right between two gasket options, I tried both). The only thing left to mess with was preload, and that got me exactly what I needed with the shims I had. Of course this would have been much easier if I had 2.8mm and 3.1mm shims, but I didn't. I ended up using a 2.9, a .25 and another .25 as S1 and a 2.7 as S2. Theat gave me a total of 6.10 instead of 6.15, so slightly less preload (but still within my target range). Allan: I could have taken this to PMs, but then this info wouldn't be available for any others who are nutty enough to do this. (I won't ever do this again.. from here on out all critical parts come from the same trans.. but I'll make an exception if I ever get an LSD) |
