Hi;
Just after some confirmation on the process of shimming the Diff Output Housings.
I have been following the MED Engineering Gearbox Rebuild and the Mini Mania version. In the MED one (at about 7:19) he mentions that the gasket is 0.016" and you need an additional 0.003" for pinch.
I only have two shims left over from the strip down (I have not measured them yet) but with those fitted I can only get between a 0.003" and 0.004" feeler gauge in so about 0.035". Would this mean in theory I need 0.0155" of shims?
I am going to measure the shims I have and work out what I need, but see MS only do three sizes, 0.010", 0.020" and 0.006".
