  4. Using the following formula, calculate clearance "T" to select shims.

    Calculation formula:

    T mm = (A - 15) - ((C - 15) - B)

    [T in = (A - 0.591) - ((C - 0.591) - B)]

    T: Clearance

    A: Depth from the ST upper face to the bearing end surface

    B: Depth from the converter case cover upper face to the bearing catch surface

    C: Height from the ST upper face to the converter case cover mating surface

    15 mm (0.591 in): Thickness of ST

    Clearance "T" mm (in) Thickness of shim mm (in) Part No.
