Ok yall I have a question. I'm restoring a 45 2N and I just replaced all bearings and races in the transmission and I installed the counter shaft tonight and put the three shims that were on that shaft back on. I'm using a inch pound torque wrench and trying to get 15-20 inch pounds as the manual recommends. With those three shims I'm getting around 30 inch pounds as I rotate the shaft. So it too tight. I grabbed the thinnest shim that will be going on the main shaft just too see what the torque wrench would read. That shim is around .005 thick. I got reading around 8 inch pounds. Too loose. So my question is. What you all do in this situation? I even tried to make my own shims out of various gasket material and I always end up too loose or to tight. Is it proper procedure to do each shaft alone or should I have the entire transmission together while I test bearing preload? Any help or suggestions?
