Pinion Sleeve Shim

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Murano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure the points L, N and Q shown in the measurement points.
Check the dimension S written on the gear end of the drive pinion gear.
NOTE: The dimension S indicates the difference between the optimum engagement and the standard dimensions in increments of 0.01 mm (0.0004 in) written on the gear end of the drive pinion gear.
Use the formula below to calculate pinion sleeve shim thickness T3.
T3 = [74.6 mm (2.937 in) + S] + N + Q - L
Select the pinion sleeve shim.
- For information on selecting a pinion sleeve shim, refer to PINION SLEEVE SHIM .
CAUTION: Only one pinion sleeve shim can be selected.
