ABSTRACT:
A device for selecting shims to take up the end play of bearings in an automotive power train such as the bearings in the transaxle. The shim selector assembly consists of a bridge with supporting legs, a gauging cylinder and a gauge plunger telescoped in the gauging cylinder. The bridge is placed on the mating surface of the cover of the transaxle housing and the gauging cylinder projected into and bottomed on the face of the bore in the housing cover for the bearing. The gauging cylinder is fixed in place with a set screw. The gauge plunger is now telescoped in the gauge cylinder. Thereafter the bridge and gauging cylinder assembly is inverted and with the legs resting on the mating face of the housing, the gauge plunger is brought into contact with the face of the bearing being measured for end play. The gap between the upper end of the gauge plunger and the lower end of the gauging cylinder measures the thickness of the shim which is of the proper thickness to take up the end play in the bearing.
