DETERMINING SHIM THICKNESS
Shim thickness need be determined only if any of
the following parts are replaced:
• Transaxle case
• Output shaft
• Rear planetary annulus gear
SPECIAL TOOL L-4429-3
• Output shaft gear
• Rear annulus and output shaft gear bearing
cones
• Overrunning clutch race cups
Refer to Bearing Adjustment Procedure at the rear

Check output shaft bearing turning torque,
using an inch-pound torque wrench. If turning
torque is 3 to 8 inch-pounds, the proper shim
has been installed.
