Shims Inspection

Carefully and thoroughly inspect all drive unit parts before assembly. Thorough inspection of the drive parts for wear or stress with subsequent replacement of worn parts eliminates costly drive component repair after assembly.
Inspect shims for cracks and chips. Replace damaged shims with a service shim of an equal size.
