I need the shim specs for the following bearings: 96 awd
input shaft
counter shaft
center diff
front diff input
front diff

The chilton's does not have the specs and someone on here told me that the manual should have them. So I hope they are in Haynes and someone can list them for me. I've alread solder crushed. So all I need to know is end play or pre load for those gears. Any help would be greatly appriciated. thanks
 
o The intermediate shaft assembly needs a snap ring to end up with .0004-.0043" of end play.
o The input shaft assembly needs a snap ring that is the thickest ring that will fit in the groove, a range of .0004-.004ccc
o The center viscous LS needs a snap ring to end up with .0039-.010" of end play.
o If replacing the bearings, the bearing races need to be shimmed to end up with these endplays/preloads:
+ Input shaft 0-.002" of end play
+ Intermediate gear pre-load .0031-.005"
+ Center differential case pre-load.0031-.005"


This is from the vfaq page for a 1g. can anyone confirm if the 2g is the same?

Thanks
