1) Check clearance between snap ring and pres-
sure plate.
2) Before measuring clearance, place the same
thickness of shim on both sides to prevent pressure
plate from tilting.
3) If the clearance is out of specification, select a
suitable retaining plate and adjust it.
Standard value:
0.7 — 1.1 mm (0.028 — 0.043 in)
Service limit:
1.6 mm (0.063 in)4) Check that the tight corner braking does not oc-
cur when the vehicle is started with steering wheel
held at fully turned position. If tight corner braking
occurs, perform the following procedures.
(1) With the steering wheel held at fully turned
position, drive the vehicle in “D” range and with
vehicle speed at approx. 5 km/h (3 MPH) in both
clockwise and counterclockwise directions for
approx. ten times each, while repeating acceler-
ation and braking intermittently.
(2) If the tight corner braking still persists, drive
the vehicle again in a circle for several laps.

1) Measure distance “A” from end of extension
case and rear drive shaft with ST.

case end to reduction drive gear end surface with

3) Calculation formula:
NOTE:
Calculation of “T”:
T = A−B+35.4 mm
[T = A−B+1.3937 in]
T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Distance from the end of extension case to end
of rear drive shaft
B: Distance from the end of transmission case to
end of reduction drive gear
Example:
When A = 33.6 mm (1.3228 in), B = 65.05 mm
(2.5610 in)
T = 33.6−65.05+35.4 = 3.95
[T = 1.3228−2.5610+1.3937 = 0.1555]
After calculation, the value of “T” becomes 3.95,
therefore select bearing thickness of 3.8.
NOTE:
Calculation formula for “T” is applied when measur-
ing using ST (398643600 GAUGE, 499577000
GAUGE). When not using ST, apply
T = (A−α+0.45 mm) − (B−β) −H
[T = (A−α+0.0177 in) − (B−β) −H]

T: Thrust needle bearing thickness
A: Distance from the end of extension case to end
of reduction drive shaft
B: Distance from the end of transmission case to
end of rear drive shaft
α: Collar thickness used when measuring “A”
β: Collar thickness used when measuring “B”
0.45: Gasket thickness (mm)
H: Shim clearance
