Shim
It is not necessary to adjust the input shaft. It is important, however, that the shim determined during production is re-installed after performing repairs. It is also possible that no shim is fitted. In this case, reassemble without a shim. When renewing the bearing or clutch housing or gearbox housing, it is no longer necessary to insert the shim.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
