Questions to support Change-Over Program
Okay, the determine the size of Thrust Washer there will need to be a procedure to go through on an exchange unit.

The first image exploded view (LHS) shows the Item 7 being the Thrust Washer Shim that needs to be selected when servicing the Centre Differential.
The first image (RHS) shows the standard factory procedure for selecting the shim thickness required.
The second image shows the installed position of the Centre Differential up against the nut on the Driven Shaft.
Following the procedure on the diagram a correct thickness thrust washer can be selected.
If the EXACT size could not be selected, a washer that would be +0.025mm to -0.025mm should be okay.
Now Question Time
An answer from the audience would be appreciated.
On the 6MT Centre Differential is a gear held on by a circlip.
See third image.
I cannot locate what this gear may mesh with?
The best that can be determined is that it forms a "paddle-wheel" type oil pump system to get oil up to the oil guide system shown in the lower RHS inset on the picture?
If anyone has had one of these diffs out, are you able to confirm the purpose for this gear?
Thank you!
