case mating surface to the reduction drive gear end
surface with ST1 and ST2. (On FWD models, measure
distance from end of case to end of bearing.)

(3) Calculation equation:
Unit: mm
T = (L + 0.4)
T : Clearance between end of reduction drive gear
and end of rear drive shaft. (Clearance between
end of reduction drive gear and end of bearing on
FWD model)
L : Distance from end of extension case to end of
rear drive shaft. (Distance from end of case to
point at bearing location)
0.4: Gasket thickness
: Height from end of transmission case to end of
reduction drive gear. (Height from end of case to
end of bearing on FWD models)
