Shimkit E4OD

Shimkit E4OD Package Quantity: 10 Reverse Planet Endplay , 4 I.D. slots, .010" thick Outer Dia.: 3.760" Inner Dia.: 2.598" Thickness: 0.010" Inner Notch Count: 4 Material: Steel It can be difficult to reduce the endplay on E4OD units with spline or sunshell wear. When driveline wear is excessive, sealing ring and thrust wear increases. As the lower unit wear increases, OE selective thrust washers are not thick enough to compensate. Rebuilders often try to correct excessive endplay by adding thicker shims to the pump surface, but this does not solve the problem. Sonnax offers a shim 36402-Z to compensate for driveline wear. Shim (together with OE thrust washer) allows for precise endplay adjustment. .010" thick shim is used between 4-tanged thrust washer and rear planetary assembly. Shim lifts the sunshell as well as the drum. This shim does not reduce the output shaft free play. Symptoms: Driveline clunk Rear component driveline wear Reduced seal ring life Cause: Excessive total unit endplay Correction: This Sonnax shim allows for proper setting of unit endplay and supports the direct drum by supporting the sun gear.
