gear retaining bolt to 271 N´m (200 ft. lbs.) (Fig.
106).(17) Using an inch pound torque wrench (Fig.
107), check output shaft turning torque.Output
shaft turning torque should be within 3-8 in.
lbs.If the turning torque is too high, install a 0.04
mm (0.0016 in.) thicker shim. If the turning torque is
too low, install a 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) thinner shim.
Repeat until the proper turning torque of 3-8 in. lbs.
is obtained.

THICKNESS / INPUT SHAFT END PLAY:
(a) Select the thinnest #4 thrust plate thickness
and install to input clutch assembly (Fig. 142). Use
petrolatum to retain.
(b) Install input clutch assembly into position
and verify that it is completely seated by viewing
through input speed sensor hole. If view through
input speed sensor hole is not as shown in (Fig.
