Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know which shim thickness to use?
You must use a dial indicator to measure gear backlash according to your engine's service manual. The correct shim thickness is chosen to bring this measurement within the specified tolerance. Do not guess.
What are signs of a worn or incorrect shim?
Common symptoms include a whining or grinding noise from the lower unit, excessive gear play ("clunking") when shifting between forward and reverse, or visible metal shavings in the gear oil during a change.
Does this kit fit both standard and counter-rotation models?
Yes, this kit is specifically designed for compatibility with V4 standard rotation (1984–current), V6 2.6L standard rotation (1984–current), and V6 2.6L counter rotation (1992–current) lower units.
Can I reuse my old shims?
It is not recommended. Shims are precision components that compress and wear over time. Always use new shims when rebuilding or servicing a gearcase to ensure proper tolerances and longevity.
