• Driver Handle, 40 mm I.D. 07746-0030100

1. Remove the left driveshaft side oil seal from the transmission housing.

2. If you remove the 80 mm shim (A) from the transmission housing (B), reinstall the same sized shim. That's the same size as the one you removed.

3. Install the differential assembly (A) into the clutch housing.

1. Install the transmission housing onto the clutch housing, then tighten the 8 mm flange bolts in a crisscross pattern in several steps.

   Specified Torque:

   8 x 1.25 mm 27 N·m (2.8 kgf·m, 20 lbf·ft)

5. Use the 40 mm driver handle to bottom the differential assembly in the clutch housing.

6. Measure the clearance between the 80 mm shim and the bearing outer race in transmission housing.

   Standard:

   0.01-0.1 mm (0.0004-0.004 in)

1. If the clearance exceeds the standard, select a new 80 mm   shim from the following table. If the clearance measured in step 6   is within the standard, go to step 10.

   80 mm Shim:

   Type	Thickness
   A	1.00 mm (0.0394 in)
   B	1.10 mm (0.0433 in)
