Gear set, adjustment sequence
If drive pinion and gear ring have to be adjusted,
the following sequence is recommended for
maximum efficiency:
1.) Determine total shim thickness "Stot"for S1 +
S2 for the specified pre-tension of tapered
roller bearings for differential.
2.) Determine total shim thickness "S3" so that
the drive pinion is installed in the same
location as on the test machine during
production.
3.) Distribute total shim thickness Stotal S1 +
S2, so that the specified backlash between
ring gear and drive pinion is maintained.

Adjustment overview
Note:
When working on transmission, drive pinion or gear set only need to be adjusted if components were replaced which directly
influence the final drive. Note the follow table to prevent unnecessary adjustments:

Note:
Turn differential at least 5 rotations in each
direction to seat the tapered roller bearings.
Otherwise, measurement will result in false
readings.
- Position VW385/33 end gauge on drive pinion head.
- Remove master gauge and insert measuring mandrel into housing.
VW385/3 plastic piece faces final drive cover
- Install cover for final drive and tighten four bolts.
- Using adjustable ring, pull 2nd centering disc out far enough, so that
the mandrel can only just be turned by hand.

Notes:
Tapered roller bearings for differential are low-
friction bearings. Therefore friction torque can
only be used for check measurement in a
limited way. A correct adjustment is only
possible by determining the total thickness
"Sges".
Do not grease new tapered roller bearings
additionally for friction torque measurement.
The bearings are already greased with a
special oil from the factory.

- Press tapered roller bearing outer race for left
side of differential housing (housing side)
together with shim "S2" into differential housing
Page 39

. Use a shim "S2*" with a 1.00
mm thickness for measurement purposes (1
shims with 0.80 and 1 with 0.20 mm).
Note:
All measurements are performed with shim S2
with 1.00 mm thickness. The shim will be
indicated by "S2*" in the following procedures.
After determining backlash, S2* is replaced by
final shim S2.
- Press in tapered roller bearing outer race for
right side (cover side) of differential without
adjustment shims to stop Fig. 8

.
- Insert differential in housing. Ring gear is on the
right side (cover side).
- Install cover and tighten bolts to 25 Nm.
- Install VW521/4 locking sleeve and 521/8 sleeve press tool into
differential housing on housing side.
- Rotate cover side of differential housing upward.

- Turn differential 5 rotations in each direction to
seat the tapered roller bearing.
- Place VW385/17 magnetic plate onto
differential.
- Install measuring tools.
A - Dial gauge extension approx. 30 mm long
B - Hex bolt M8 x 45
- Set dial gauge extension onto center of VW 385/17 magnetic plate.
- Set dial indicator (3 mm measuring range) to 0 with 2 mm preload.
Note:
If measurement is repeated, differential must first be rotated 5 complete
revolutions in both directions again to seat tapered roller bearing. - Lift the differential without turning it, read play on dial indicator and
note.
Measured value in the following example: 0.50 mm
