OK I've read alot of addvice about shim tools and omc procedures. I've never used the shim tools so I'm looking for clarification on there use. From all that I've read in repair manuals The tool only measures the driveshaft, thrust bearing, pinion gear assy. with no reguard for the tolerances of the rest of the gearcase. Is this true? <br /> If it is true it assumes that the rest of the gearcase and all of its parts are predictably perfect.<br /> Shouldn't the entire gearcase be assembled and the gear lash/thrust bearing clearence be determined by gear inking or by drive shaft axial end play?
