DRIVE PINION


Adjustment


PINION GEAR HEIGHT
If the hypoid gear set has been replaced, select the pinion height adjusting washer.





1. Use the formula below to calculate pinion height adjusting washer thickness.
Washer selection equation:
T = T0 + (t1- t2)
T: Correct washer thickness
T0: Removed washer thickness
Old drive pinion head letter "H x 0.01" t1:
("H": machined tolerance 1/100 mm x 100)
New drive pinion head letter "H x 0.01"
t2:
("H": machined tolerance 1/100 mm x 100)
Example:
T = 3.21 + [(2 x 0.01) - (-1 x 0.01)] = 3.24
T0: 3.21 t1: +2
-1 t2:
2. Select the proper pinion height adjusting washer. For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts information.

CAUTION:
If unable to find a washer of desired thickness, use a washer with thickness closest to the calculated value.
Example:
Calculated value... T = 3.22 mm
Used washer... T = 3.21 mm
