WORKSHOP MANUAL 944





This Workshop Manual describes all of the important operations for which special instructions are required to assure proper completion. This manual is essential for shop foremen and mechanics, who need this information to keep the vehicles in safe operating condition. The basic safety rules, of course, also apply to repairs on vehicles without exception.



Only those repair jobs deviating from those of vehicle type 924 are described in the 944 Workshop Manual. Refer to the 924 Workshop Manual for all other information.



The information is grouped according to repair numbers which are identical to the first two digits of the warranty job codes.



The repair group index, list of contents and the register tabte are quick guides to find information in the manual. The layout drawings in this manual are numbered in the order of disassembling and, if necessary, also have information on assembly or installation and application of special tools.



Descriptions of design and function can be found in the service training course reference material.



This Workshop Manual will be kept up to date with Technical Information Bulletins, which will be made part of the manual from time to time. We recommend that these bulletins be filed in the standard type folder provided for this purpose.

CHECKING CLUTCH PLAY

Automatic hydraulic clutch
adjustment means that clutch play
cannot be checked at the clutch
pedal.

Nevertheless, the clutch cannot
operate correctly unless there is
0.5 mm clearance between push rod
and master-cylinder piston.

This play cannot be measured; it is
about 3 mm at the pedal pad and
must be determined by feel.

If necessary, correct play by
adjusting piston rod. 		ADJUSTING CLUTCH SPRING

A spring which reduces the pedal
force is installed to assist the
force applied to the pedal. For
this purpose, the spring must be
preloaded accordingly.

Measure distance A between outer
edge of plate and bearing with
clutch engaged (clutch pedal at end
stop).

-  Distance A for green color-coded
spring (no longer available as
spare part) 60 mm (75 mm*)
- Distance A for blue color-coded
spring (increased spring rate/in
use since February 1986)
= 55 mm (68 mm*)

If necessary, correct by turning the hex nut.

* Values of distance A in parentheses apply to spring when removed.
Reassemble servospring/guide rod with assembly wire (3 mm dia. split pin).

If distance is less than 15 mm there can be no guarantee that clutch disengages fully.

Possible Causes:     -

-		 air in hydraulic system
clutch master and/or slave cylinders defective (cups)
no or insufficient clutch play
limited clutch pedal travel (e. g. bunched-up floor mats)



BLEEDING CLUTCH

G e n e r a l   I n f o r m a t i o n

The use of a pressure bleeder is recommended.

1.  Fill tank with brake fluid to upper edge.
Remove restrictor sleeve. Connect bleeder.


2.  Switch on bleeder and open bleeder screw on
clutch slave cylinder until escaping fluid is
without air bubbles. Operate clutch pedal
several times during this step.
3. If necessary because of residual air (release
traver less than 15 mm), unscrew slave cylinder
on clutch housing. Push rod against stop in
slave cylinder and release again (bleeder
switched off, brake fluid tank not filled to
upper edge). This will force the residual air
back into the clutch line or master cylinder/
brake fluid tank.

N o t e

Never operate clutch pedal as long as slave
cylinder is removed.

REMOVING AND INSTALLlNG CLUTCH



Note
When performing operations on the transaxle
system that involve rotating or shifting the
transaxle tuebe, always wear leather gloves
to avoid injuries.


R e m o v i n g

1.  Disconnect ground wire at battery. Disconnect
round wire connecting body with clutch housing.




2.  Disconnect ground wire on clutch housing I.
Unscrew socket head bolts and run reference
mark sensor II and speed sensor III for DEE
out of holder IV.
Disconnect wire harness for starter at upper
mounting point V.
If necessary, remove air cleaner for this step.

3.  Remove exhaust assembly. This requires

pinion's tape red roller bearings.





Measure case depth "a" of old and new gear carrier
housing and determine difference.


Example:

Old gear carrier housing
depth "a"		 = 119.10 mm
New gear carrier housing
depth "a"		 = 119.35 mm
Difference 0.25 mm

New gear carrier housing is deeper =
install thicker shim S4.

bearing with a 46 to 56 mm internat claw puller
and spindle.





A s s e m b l i n g


N o t e

It is essential to heat the transmission case
thoroughly prior to installation of the outer race,
since the tapered roller bearing outer race for the
drive pinion must be installed in the case with a
very tight press-fit. In order to be able to install
the outer race without problems, case temperature
must be at least 150 °C (300 °F). Temperatures
up to 180 °C (350 ° F) will not damage the case.
Heat from hot water stream or washing machine
will not be sufficient.

1.  Install tapered roller bearing outer race for drive
pinion in the heated case. Always work with a
press to avoid tilted.
Use Special Tools VW 2050 and VW 295. Hold
preload under press about 2 more minutes until
heat has been transferred.


2.  Drive in rear needle bearing for input shaft

C h e c k i n g   F u n c t i o n

The cause of damage or defect can be pinpointed
with help of the troubleshooting card (page 37-17)
and the following tests before repairing an
automatic transmission.

A -  General Test
B - Automatic Transmission and Final Drive Oil
level Test
C - Stall Speed Test
D - Road Test
E - Pressure Test


I m p o r t a n t !

All jobs, which require the engine to be running,
should only be performed with the selector lever in
"N" or "P" and the parking brake applied.

Exceptions: tests, which require a different selector
lever position briefly.




A   -   G e n e r a l   T e s t

The following procedures must be carried out prior
to each transmission test and, if any faults are
discovered, they must be eliminated before
continuing work on the transmission.

1.  Check engine tuning (ignition timing, idle speed
and transition).
2. Check for external dam age, e. g. leaks on trans-
mission (ATF) or final drive (hypoid oil!) and
missing or loose mounting bolts.



B   -   A u t o m a t i c   T r a n s m i s s i o n   a n d
F i n a l   D r i v e   O i l   l e v e l   T e s t

The specified oil level is extremely important for
perfect operation of an automatic transmission, and
therefore it is important to carry out the following
test conscientiously. 		C h e c k i n g   A T F   l e v e l   i n
A u t o m a t i c   T r a n s m i s s i o n

1.  Car must be parked on level floor or ground.
2. Selector lever in "N" and parking brake applied.
3. Engine running at idle speed during test.
4. ATF hand warm (40 to 60 °C/104 - 140 °F).
5. ATF level between both marks of supply tank.
Difference between upper and lower marks is
approx. 0.4 liter/US qt.
6. Clean upper section of tank as well as cover
prior to filling with ATF to avoid dirt in the
supply tank.




I m p o r t a n t !

Oil level can be higher or lower depending on
temperature (heat expansion of ATF).
Consequently an accurate check can only be
made in the specified temperature range.

Do not add too much ATF, since an excessive
amount would impair automatic transmission
operation.



Contaminated oil could impair transmission
control.




I m p o r t a n t !

Only fill automatic transmission with ATF
Dexron.

ATFs of different makes with the designation
"Dexron" may be mixed with each other.

C h e c k i n g   F i n a l   D r i v e   O i l   l e v e l


1.  Oil level should reach edge of oil filler plug. An
excessively high oil level indicates an oil leak
between the automatic transmission and final
drive.

In this case the governor drive seal could be
defective.





C   -   S t a l l   S p e e d   T e s t


This test provides information on operation of the
torque converter, plate clutches and brakes as
well as one-way clutch for 1st gear.




I m p o r t a n t !

The stall speed test must be carried out with the
engine and transmission at operating temperature
and must not last longer than the time required to
read the tachometer (max. 5 seconds) to avoid
damage from excessive heat.


1.  Connect tachometer on engine. Start engine and
hold car by applying service and parking brakes.
Move selector lever to "D" and press down briefly
on accelerator pedal to full throttle. The engine
will adjust to a certain speed, the so-called stall
speed.


Stall Speed:

2800 +- 200 rpm


The following points could be causing deviations
in stall speed.
Engine speed faster
than stall speed:



Stall speed not reached:

- about 200 rpm less than
   specified value



- about 400 rpm less than
   specified value 		Forward clutch
slips.
1st gear one-way
clutch slips.



Poor engine power
(ignition, fuel
injection,
compression)

One-way clutch in
torque converter
defective



N o t e :

Stall speed will be reduced by about 125 rpm for
each 1,000 meters (3,300 f t) above sea level.

The stall speed could also drop slightly with
high outside temperatures.

D   -   R o a d   t e s t

Road test car (only when there is
no obvious transmission damage).
It is important to drive the car
in as many driving conditions as
possible, and in all the driving
ranges of the automatic trans-
mission. Careful observation is
a must. Pay particular attention
to shifting points for upshifts and
downshifts, as well as the kickdown
shift points with reference to
speed and gear transitions. 		All shifts must be made
quickly and without inter-
ruption of power flow. Par-
ticular attention should be
paid to whether the engine
races suddenly while shifting.
This could indicate a slipping
brake or clutch.

After the road test, check
transmission for leakage.

Function Test (Type 087 M and 087 N)

E - Pressure Test

Pressure test will supply information about dis-
turbances in the hydraulic control system.

It should only be carried out, if all other tests
have not produced any indication of possible
causes for the damage.

Remarks

It is always necessary to loosen the control
cable to test the main pressure. This means
maladjusting the cable sleeve on the mount in
the area of the cam plate. Preload must be
readjusted after finishing the pressure test
(see page 37 - 11).
1.  Connect pressure tester V 90 on the test
connection.





A = Special Tool 9250

2.  Check main pressure with different testing
conditions as described below.


944 Europe / Rest of World and USA/Japan

Selector Lever
Position		 Accelerator Pedal
Position		 Main Pressure
in bar		 Testing Conditions
D Idle
(no acceleration)		 2.90...3.00 Read speed faster
than 50 km/h*
D Full throttle 7.3...7.40  
R Idle (no acceleration) 9.5 +- 0.3 Car stopped
R Full throttle more than 20 At stall speed

*  Road speed faster than 140 km/h for Europe models (transmissions RCD and RCE) since Decem-
ber, 1983.

This test should be performed on a dynamometer whenever possible. For the pressure test in idle, ac-
celerate the car to specified read speed, take foot off of the accelerator pedal and read the pressure.

1. Install lower circlip.







2.  Insert cage for one-way clutch. Heat outer race to
approx. 150 °C (300 °F), which requires that the
hotplate itself has a temperature of 190 °C
(375 °F). Take hold of cage on upper collar with
2 pliers, remove quickly from hotplate and install
in outer race. Make sure short sides of cage
retaining tabs are aligned with matching contours
in outer race (arrow). If necessary, turn
accordingly immediately after installing.




N o t e :


The cage will take on the heat of the outer race
quickly and then fit tight. If cage does not fit
correctly on lower circlip and in contour of outer
race, do not attempt to force it into correct position.
Instead drive it out carefully, let it cool down and
install it again.






3.  Install springs and rollers. Check for correct
installed position. Seen clockwise the spring
will be in front of the roller.

Parts must be removed from a valve body to clean a very dirty valve body. These parts should be placed
in a special tray to guarantee re-installation in original position. Outside shape of tray matches that of
valve body to facilitate insertion of valves and springs.




D i s a s s e m b l i n g


Normally, valve body is only disassembled when
transmission damage is from burnt friction linings
or ATF is excessively dirty. As long as ATF is
relatively clean, in most cases it will be sufficient
to flush assembled valve body in clean cleaning
fluid. Then dry with compressed air.

1.  Remove end plates on one side, remove valves and springs one after the other and place them in tray.
2. Unscrew end plates on other side and remove springs and valves one after the other, also placing them in tray.
3. Place cover on tray.




N o t e :

Slight scoring on valves will not cause operating
problems. They can be used again.
4.  Agitate tray with parts in cleaning fluid and
then dry with compressed air. Never use water.



A s s e m b l i n g


1.  Assembling must be done at a clean working
place. Never use fluffy rags when cleaning
and assembling.
2. Valves and springs must be installed in their
original bores of valve body.
3. First install springs and valves in one side, install
end plates, then install valves and springs of
other side and bolt end plates.




N o t e :

Coat all valves with ATF and check for free move-
ment. Valves must slide down bores by their own
weight.

ADJUSTING PINION AND RING GEAR


Note

Careful adjustment of the drive pinion and ring gear is important to guarantee a long service life and quiet
running for the final drive. This is why drive pinions and ring gears are matched during production and
checked on special testing machines for the most favorable surface appearance and low noise levels in both
directions of rotation. The position of quietest running is determined by moving the drive pinion in an
axial direction, keeping the ring gear within specified backlash tolerances.

The deviation "r" from the master gaube "Ro" is measured and inscribed on the outside periphery of the
ring gear belonging to a pinion/ring gear set supplied as a spare part. Each set (drive pin ion and ring gear)
may only be replaced together.


ADJUSTMENT AND IDENTIFICATION OF PINION/RING GEAR SETS




S e r v i c e   S e t s

1 -  Code "K 935" means pinion/ring gear set with
Klingelnberg teeth and 9 : 35 ratio. Number
always has 3 digits.
2. Pair code 312 of pinion/ring gear set. Number
always has 3 digits.
3. Deviation "r" in reference to master gauge of
special testing machines used in production.
Deviation "r" is always given in 1/100 mm
and always has two digits.
For example: "25" means "r" = 0.25 mm.
Other letters or digits concern manufacturing
and material batches.

Ro -  Length of master gauge used in special testing
machine.


S t a n d a r d   S e t s

I m p o r t a n t !

In production the location of the drive pinion is
given by distance Po (center of ring gear to back
of pinion head). Deviation "r" on the ring gear
and the pair code are omitted. Because deviation
"r" is not given, the installed position of the drive
pinion must be measured before removing same,
when replacing parts which have direct influence
on the installed position of the drive pinion.


x - This data not required in production.
E -  Actual distance between ring gear shaft and
face of pinion at point of quietest running
for this set.
Vo - Hypoid displacement = 12 mm.

Recommended Sequence of Adjusting Pin ion and Ring Gear





S1 = Shim for ring gear
S2 = Shim for ring gear
S3 = Shim for pinion
S4 = Shim for pinion


When it becomes necessary to adjust the pinion and
ring gear, it would be in the interest of economical
procedures to keep to the following sequence.

1 -  Determine the total shim thickness "Stot"
(S1 plus S2) for the specified pre-load of
tapered roller bearing/differential.
2 - Determine the total shim thickness "Stot"
(S3 plus S4) for the specified pre-load of
tapered roller bearing/drive pinion.
3 - Divide total shim thickness "Stot" in S3 and S4
that the distance from center of ring gear to face
of drive pinion is equal to distance "E"
determined during production.
4 - Divide total shim thickness "Stot" in S1 and S2
so that there is the specified amount of backlash
between the ring gear and pinion.
The goal of adjustments is to relocate the point
of optimal quiet running as was determined in
the special testing machine during production.

Perfect results require absolute care and cleanliness
during all assembly and measuring operations.

The pinion and ring gear only have to be adjusted when repairs on the final drive require the replacement
of parts having direct influence on the adjustment. Refer to the following table to avoid unnecessary
adjustments!

This operation is only necessary when deviation "r"
is not given on the ring gear and parts have to be
replaced, which have direct influence on the drive
pinion position. These would be both tapered roller
bearings for drive pinion and transmission case.


R e m o v i n g   D i f f e r e n t i a l

Complete universal gauge as show n in the list of
tools, insert in transmission case and measure
difference to "Ro" (max. deflection/point of reversal).
Measured value will be equal to deviation "r".

Adjust drive pinion as described after replacing parts.
Use the deviation "r" used for determination of shim
thickness "S3".

Adjustment of the pinion/ring gear according to the
following instructions will only be necessary when
replacing the pinion/ring gear. Make adjustments with
help of the previously determined installed position
(actual distance), if other parts with influence on
the drive pinion are being replaced.

1.  Install tapered roller bearing outer race without
shims in transmission case or gear carrier.
2. Install completely assembled drive pin ion. Mount gear carrier and tighten bolts to torque of 25 Nm (18 ft lb).
3. Turn drive pinion about 20 full revolutions by hand so that both tapered roller bearings are preloaded, while lifting and lowering drive pinion.



4.  Mount gauges.
Set dial gauge (3 mm range) to 0 with 1 mm
preload. Dial gauge extension length approx.
30mm.
5. Move drive pinion up and down. Read play on
dial gauge and note the value. Do not turn drive
pinion during this step to avoid wrong readings.
Example: 1.30 mm.
6. Take off gear carrier again.

universal gauge into the housing (installed
position). Centering disk VW 385/2 for final
drive cover.
9. Mount final drive cover carefully (do not
knock, risk of gauge plate slipping). Remove
the toroidal sealing ring, for practical
reasons, and tighten the cover with
4 screws.
10.  Pull the second centering disk outwards
with the adjustable set ring so that the uni-
versal gauge can still just be turned by
hand.






11.  Turn the universal gauge until the dial
gauge probe makes contact with the
gauge plate on the pinion head and the
dial indicates max. deflection (reversing
point). The measured value is dimension

1.  Install drive pinion with measured shims S3
and S4. Bolt gear carrier and turn drive pinion
in both directions about 20 full revolutions by
hand so that the tapered roller bearings will be
loaded by the rotation and can settle.
2. Apply universal gauge and check distance.
3. When shims have been selected correctly, the
dial gauge (read counter clockwise - red number
range) should display the value of deviation
"r" inscribed on the ring gear with a tolerance
of +- 0.04 mm.

3.  Turn differential counter clockwise with adjusting
device VW 521/4 carefully until ring gear rests on
the drive pinion.
4. Now set dial gauge to zero with 2 mm pre-load.
5. Turn differential clockwise until ring gear makes
contact with the opposite flank of the next drive
pinion tooth. Read backlash and note value.
6. Repeat measurement three times, turning the ring
gear 90° further each time.
7. Add the four measured values and calculate the
mean backlash value.

Mean backlash = 3.36 mm divided by 4 = 0.84 mm


N o t e

If the measured values deviate from each other by
more than 0.06 mm, installation of the ring gear or
pinion/ring gear set is not correct. Check installation,

1.  Unscrew socket head bolts on case
cover and take off cover.





2. Take out all parts inside of case.


A s s e m b l i n g

1.  Inspect all parts for wear or damage,
replacing if necessary.
a) Differential Case:
Check guide grooves for outer plates
and pressure rings for wear.
b)  Pressure Rings:
Guide tabs and bearing surfaces must
not be worn or scored excessively.
They must also slide easily in the
differential case.
c) Differential Gears:
Bearing surfaces for thrust washers must
not be worn and inner plates must slide
easily on splines of gears.
d) Plates:
Check inner and outer plates for wear.
Guide tabs of outer plates and teeth of
inner plates must not be worn.
2. Lubricate all sliding surfaces an plates,
pressure rings and differential shafts
with SAE 80 hypoid gear lube prior to
installation.
3. Install thrust washers that retainers
engage in bores of case or cover. It is
recommended to hold washers in
position with grease to make assembly
work easier.

Determining Thickness of Plate Assembly:
It new parts are used, the thickness ot the
plate assembly has to be determined again.
1.  Measure case depth "a" with a depth gage.
Example: a = 77.50 mm.







2.  Determine thickness "b" of plate
assembly (with 2.0 mm thick outer
plates, but without diaphragm springs).
Clamp plate assembly in a vise lightly
and measure distance "b" with a sliding
calipers.
Example: b = 73.20 mm.

3. Figure out distance "e" (must be 4.2 mm).
e = a - b

Example:
a = 77.50 mm
b = 73.30 mm
c =  4.20 mm
==========








e2 + e2 = 4.2 mm


N o t e

If determined distance is more or less
than specified distance "e", install thicker
or thinner outer plates.


"e" below 4.2 mm = use thinner plates.

"e" above 4.2 mm = use thicker plates.

Outer plates are available in thicknesses
of 1.9 mm, 2.0 mm and 2.1 mm.
4.  After assembling, check slip torque with
one differential gear held tight and one
driven. This is done by clamping a
flange with two bolts in a vise and
placing the differential on it. Insert
second flange with a locally made
connector and turn differential with
a torque wrench.
A torque of 10 to 35 Nm must be
reached.













A = Connector (made locally)


N o t e

Plates are worn and have to be replaced, if
the specified torque is not reached with
the thickest outer plates.

Accurate adjustments of the pinion and ring gear are immensely important for the service life and
smooth running of the final drive. This is why pinions and ring gears are paired during manufacture and
checked in special machines for tooth pattern and quietness in both directions of rotation. The position
of smoothest running is determined by moving the pinion in an axial direction, whereby the ring gear is
lifted out of the no-play meshing position far enough so that the backlash will be kept within specified
tolerances.

Deviation "r", in reference to master gage "Ro ", of the special testing machine used in manufacturing is
measured and recorded on the outer periphery of the ring gear. Pinion and ring gear must always be
replaced together.


L o c a t i o n   o f   S h i m s

Ro -    Length of master gage used in special testing machine
"Ro" = 46.60 mm.
r - Deviation from master gage used in special testing machine
in manufacturing. "r" is always given in 1/100 mm.
Example: "32" means r = 0.32 mm.
S3 - Shim behind head of pinion.
S4   - Shim opposite head of pinion.
    Objective of adjustments must be to regain the maximum degree
of quiet running, as had been determined by the special testing
machine in manufacturing.
1 - Mark "G 1237" means Gleason pinion/ring gear, ratio 12 : 37.
2 - Matching pair number of pinion/ring gear set.
3 - Deviation "r".

1.  Heat pinion bearing inner race (large bearing) to about 100 °C/212 °F, install on pinion without shim and press on with a force of about 3 tons.
2. Heat pinion bearing inner race (small bearing) to about 100 °C/212 °F, install on pinion with 1.1 mm thick shim (arrow) and press on with force of about 3 tons.




N o t e :

Pinion would hit housing while measuring and cause
incorrect readings, if shim is omitted.


3.  Install final drive housing cover without seals.
Tighten all bolts to specified torque.
4.  Install pinion and pinion cover. Tighten all bolts
to specified torque.
5. Place VW 387 on housing and VW 385/17 on
pinion. Install dial gage and adjust to zero.






6.  Move pinion up and down without turning it
several times and note dial gage reading.


N o t e :

Readings would be wrong if pinion is turned.


7.  Add 1.1 mm for installed shims, 0.15 mm for
bearing preload and 0.10 mm for bearing settling
to dial gage reading.
This results in Stot.


Example:
Dial gage reading
Installed shim
Bearing preload
Bearing settling
Total shim thickness		 1.81 mm
+ 1.10 mm
+ 0.15 mm
+ 0.10 mm
= 3.16 mm

 8. Remove pinion. Take out installed shim (1.1. mm) and install shims of total thickness (3.16 mm in example) at small bearing.
 9. Install pinion again and check deviation "e". Deviation "e" is the difference between the actual measurement R and the design measurement Ro.
10.  Turn pinion in both directions several times.
11. Place VW 385/28 on pinion.





12.  Set adjusting ring of VW 385/1 at distance a.
a = approx. 82 mm.







13.  Assemble VW 385/1 according to figure (dial gage
extension VW 385/15 = 9.3 mm). Install VW
385/30 and set dial gauge at zero with 3 mm
preload.







14.  Screw adjusting ring (opposite ring gear) into
case far enough so that it is flush with
housing.
15. Insert universal gage in housing and screw in
adjusting ring (behind ring gear). Do not place
dial gage pin on end gage.




16.  Pull 2nd centering disc outward with movable
adjusting ring until universal gage can just
barely be turned by hand.
17. Turn universal gage until dial gage pin touches
end gage and shows maximum deflection
(return point). Take dial gage reading.
18. Note measured distance "e" (example:
1.88 mm) and determine thickness of shims
S3 and S4.

23.  Check shim thickness at several positions with a
micrometer. Check shims for burrs and damage.
Only install perfect shims.
24. Install selected shims.
"S3" behind pinion.
"S4" opposite pinion.
25. Install pinion and lubricate bearings with hypoid
gear oil.
26. Check measurements.
Install universal gage. Set diaI gage at 0 with
3 mm preload. If proper shims have been
installed. dial gage reading must be specified
deviation "r" within a tolerance of +- 0.04 mm
(red gage range).
27. After installation of pinion with the selected
shims the turning torque must also be
measured. It must be 250 to 550 Ncm
(22 - 48 in. lb).
his value applies to new bearings. Measure
actual turning torque before disassembly if used
bearings are to be installed again.

1.  Install differential and pinion. Insert seals in both
covers and install cover for final drive housing.
Coat sealing surface with D 3 sealer. Mount cover
for pinion and tighten all bolts of both covers to
specified torque.
2. Apply a light coat of multi-purpose grease to
O-rings and threads of adjusting rings. Lubricate
bearings with hypoid gear oil and tighten both
adjusting rings until the surfaces between teeth
are at same height as housing surface.
3. Continue adjusting the adjusting ring behind ring
gear carefully, until teeth of ring gear mesh with
pinion without play.
4. Tighten adjusting ring opposite ring gear as far as
possible and preload slightly so there is no play
in bearings.
5.  Turn adjusting ring behind ring gear back by
1/2 tooth (direction of arrow).






6.  Turn adjusting ring opposite ring gear by 2 teeth
(direction of arrow). This completes adjustment
of the necessary bearing preload and specified

other by more than 0.05 mm.
The above specification applies only to new pinion/
ring gear sets; for old sets adjust backlash to
previous value as accurately as possible.



7.  If backlash of a new pinion/ring gear set is out-
side specifications, it must be corrected by
turning both adjusting rings evenly. Do not
change bearing preload.

N o t e :

The complete central tube with shaft and bearings
must be replaced, if the bearings or shaft are da-
maged. The replacement of separate parts is not
possible.





1.  Check easy movement of central tube bearings by
turning the drive shaft by hand. The shaft must
turn easily and without points of hesitation.
2. Check out-of-round deviation of drive shaft.
Max. permissible deviation on engine end
= 1.5 mm, on transmission end = 0.5 mm.
3. The position of the drive shaft to the rear flanged
shaft is important for perfect function.
Displacement of drive shaft to rear flange surface
must be 49 +- 0.5 mm.







4.  The displacement can be corrected slightly by
tapping with a plastic hammer on face of drive
shaft.

25.00 mm
 - 5.00 mm
20.00 mm
- 18.00 mm
2.00 mm



Remove 4 mm thick spacer and install a 6 mm
thick spacer instead.
Recheck.


N o t e :

If measured result is less than specified value of
18 mm, a thinner spacer must be installed.




Spacers are available as replacement parts in
thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm.


4.  Loosen clamping sleeve bolt and tighten again
only after damper is mounted on flywheel.
