- Install at least 3 old bolts and tighten them to 30 Nm.

- Measure dimension - a - via 3 holes for the torque converter via an assisting ruler and a depth measurement tool and calculate the mean value.






- Compare the average (measured distance + thickness of straight edge) with the specification. Specified value: 15.7 to 17.3 mm

If the specified value is not reached:

- Remove the drive plate and install an appropriate shim - 1 -.






• Only one shim of the appropriate thickness may be used.
