Drive plate and ring gear assembly - check
setting height

NOTE: The following procedures are only
applicable to shimmed drive plates, there
is no need to check setting height on drive

plates which are not shimmed.

1. Ensure bolt holes in crankshaft are clean and

dry. Fit original selective shim and hub aligner,
fit Allen bolts and tighten to 85 Nm (63 lbf.ft).

2. Fit drive plate assembly and clamp ring

ensuring that reference marks are aligned; fit
bolts and tighten to 45 Nm (33 lbf.ft).

CAUTION: If a new drive plate assembly is
being fitted, paint mark on plate must face
towards torque converter.

3. Check the setting height:

Drive plate setting height A = 8.08 to 8.20 mm
(0.32 to 0.33 in)

4. If setting height is not as specified, remove

clamp ring, drive plate assembly, hub aligner
and selective shim.
