7. Rotate the secondary driven gear shaft in both direc-

tions to seat the bearing.

8. Measure the starting torque of the secondary driven

gear shaft with a torque wrench.

(23 - 33 kgf-cm, 20 - 29 Ibf-in)

TORQUE WRENCH

NOTE:

Measure the starting torque at normal room tem-

perature in both directions.

Changing the shim to the next size will increase or

decrease starting torque about 0.3 - 0.4 N-m (3 -

4 kgf-cm, 3-3 Ibf-in).

To increase the starting torque, increase the

thickness of the shim. To decrease the starting

torque, decrease the thickness of the shim.ProCarManuals.com
