NOTE: Clearance is correct if a light, even drag is felt as the wire gauge is slid between the
pinion shaft and flywheel/flexplate tooth tip.
Clearance Adjustment - Clearance Too Small
Clearance is judged to be too small if the gauge cannot fit between the pinion shaft and the
flywheel/flexplate tooth or excessive drag is felt when the gauge is slid between the pinion shaft
and the flywheel/flexplate tooth.
1. Increase the Clearance
a. Loosen the starter inboard mounting bolt and remove the outboard bolt.
b. Add a single shim between the starter mounting pad and the engine block mounting pad.
c. Reinstall the outboard bolt and properly torque each bolt.
d. Recheck clearances by the procedure outlined under "Clearance Check".
e. Repeat steps "a" through "d" until a light, even drag is felt as the wire gauge is slid
between the pinion shaft and flywheel/flexplate tooth tip.
NOTE: Only install a maximum of 3 shims.
Clearance Adjustment - Clearance Too Large
Clearance is judged to be too large if the gauge fits too loosely between the pinion shaft and
the flywheel/flexplate tooth.
1. Decrease the Clearance
a. Loosen the starter inboard mounting bolt and remove the outboard bolt.
b. Cut a full shim in half.
c. Add a single 1/2 shim between the starter mounting pad and the engine block
mounting pad at the outboard bolt.
d. Reinstall the outboard bolt and properly torque each bolt.
e. Recheck clearances by the procedure outlined under "Clearance Check".
f. Repeat steps "a" through "e" until a light, even drag is felt as the wire gauge is slid
between the pinion shaft and flywheel/flexplate tooth tip.
NOTE: Only install a maximum of 3 shims.
