Shims  
     
Use a micrometer to measure the shims at 
several points. Different tolerances make it 
possible to obtain the exact shim thickness 
required. 
     Check for burrs and signs of damage.
     Only install shims that are in perfect 
condition. 
     
Gears, synchro-hubs, inner races for sliding 
gears  
     Heat gears and synchro-hubs to approx. 100
C (212 F) before installing. Press in until stop 
is reached so there is no axial play. 
     
Heat inner races for sliding gears to approx. 
100 C (212 F) when installing. 
     
The temperature can be checked using 
VAG1558 temperature tester. 
     Observe installation position.
