1. Remove the transmission housing side differential oil seal (see «OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT»(ref-475400-S18501121982012052300000) ).
2. If you removed the 80 mm shim (A) from the transmission housing, reinstall the same sized shim.
3. Install the differential assembly (A) into the clutch housing.
4. Install the transmission housing onto the clutch housing, then tighten the 8 mm flange bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps (see step 16 on «GEARSHIFT MECHANISM REPLACEMENT»(ref-475400-S17460349812012052300000) ). Specified Torque: 8 x 1.25 mm 27 IMm (2.8 kgf-m, 20 Ibf ft)
5. Use the 40 mm I.D. driver handle (A) to bottom the differential assembly in the clutch housing.
6. Measure the clearance between 80 mm shim and the bearing outer race in the transmission housing. Standard: 0-0.10 mm (0.00-0.0039 in)
7. If the clearance exceeds the standard, select a new 80 mm shim from the following table. If the clearance measured in step 6 is within the standard, go to step 10 . 80 MM SHIM THICKNESS CHART Type Thickness A 1.00 mm (0.039 in) B 1.10 mm (0.043 in) C 1.20 mm (0.047 in) D 1.30 mm (0.051 in) E 1.40 mm (0.055 in) F 1.50 mm (0.059 in) G 1.60 mm (0.063 in) H 1.70 mm (0.067 in) J 1.80 mm (0.071 in) K 1.05 mm (0.041 in) L 1.15 mm (0.045 in) M 1.25 mm (0.049 in) N 1.35 mm (0.053 in) P 1.45 mm (0.057 in) Q 1.55 mm (0.061 in) R 1.65 mm (0.065 in) S 1.75 mm (0.069 in)
8. Remove the bolts and the transmission housing.
9. Replace the thrust shim selected in step 7 , then recheck the clearance.
10. Install a new transmission housing side differential oil seal (see «OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT»(ref-475400-S18501121982012052300000) ).
11. Reinstall the transmission housing.
