NOTE:
• If the limited slip differential clutch set was replaced,
the 65 mm shim (differential housing cover side) and
112 mm shim (differential housing cover side) must
be adjusted.
• Reassemble the parts in the same order and direction
they were before disassembly.
• Lubricate the clutch disc surface with transmission oil.

11. Measure the widest part of the plastigauge.
Standard: 0.18-0.229 mm
PLASTIGAUGE STRIP
• If the plastigauge measures within the standard,
go to step 14.
• If the plastigauge does not measure within the
standard, continue with step 12.
12. Select the proper 65 mm shim based on the follow-
ing table.
• If the measurement was less than 0.18 mm, in-
stall a thinner shim.
• If the measurement was more than 0.229 mm,
install a thicker shim.

13. After installing a thinner or thicker shim, be sure to
recheck the measurement with plastigauge.
• After installing a thinner shim:
If the measured value is less than 0.18 mm, select
the next thinner shim, and recheck.
If the new value is more than 0.229 mm, the
selected shim is OK.
• After installing a thicker shim:
If the measured value is more than 0.229 mm,
select the next thicker shim, and recheck.
If the new value is less than 0.18 mm, take the
shim you chose at the step 12.
14. Install the washer, thrust needle bearing, 65 mm
shim, 112 mm shim, clutch plate, clutch disc, and
spring plate.
