8-44Shimming (regular rotation model)012345678910AA. Backlash measurement (BL2)B. Shim thickness adjustment4. Calculate the new reverse gear shim (T2)thickness.TIP:• Use the lowest number of shims to obtainthe required shim thickness.• If the calculated shim thickness cannot beobtained with a combination of the availableshims, increase or decrease the shim thick-ness by 0.01 mm.Calculation formula:New reverse gear shim (T2) thickness =Current reverse gear shim thickness + shimthickness adjustmentExample:Use the following formula when the shimthickness adjustment value is positive.Current reverse gear shim thickness =0.62 mmShim thickness adjustment = 0.14 mmNew reverse gear shim (T2) thickness =0.62 mm + 0.14 mm= 0.76 mmUse the following formula when the shimthickness adjustment value is negative.Current reverse gear shim thickness =0.62 mmShim thickness adjustment = –0.21 mmNew reverse gear shim (T2) thickness =0.62 mm + (–0.21 mm) = 0.41 mm5.
