Height Adjustment - Acura 3.5 RL Manual

Drive Pinion

Height Adjustment

NOTE: If the drive pinion and ring gear are replaced
(always as a set), the height has to be adjusted.
Select the proper shim as follows:
First, calculate the difference in size between the old
shim and the new pinion.
The last number (see ill.) on each pinion is the plus (+) or
minus (-) tolerance in thousands of a millimeter. So, a
pinion with +20 is 0.02 mm larger and a pinion with - 20
is 0.02 mm smaller.
1. If the number on the old pinion is a plus (+), add it
to the old shim thickness. If it is a minus (-), sub-
tract it from the old shim thickness.
2. If the number on the new pinion is a plus (+), sub-
tract it from the number you got in step 1. If it is a
minus (-), add it to the step 1 number.
3. Select the shim that is closest (but not more than)
the final number you got from steps 1 and 2.
Example 1:
Old shim: 2.00 mm thickness
Old pinion: +20 (0.02 mm)
New pinion: -10 (-0.01 mm)
2.00 + 0.02 + 0.01 = 2.03
Select the 2.03 mm (0.0799 in) new shim.
Example 2:
Old shim: 1.70 mm thickness
Old pinion: -10 (-0.01 mm)
New pinion: -20 (-0.02 mm)
1.70-0.01 +0.02 = 1.71
Select the 1.70 mm (0.0669 in) new shim.
