PROCEDURE
INSPECT REVERSE IDLER GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the reverse idler gear thrust clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.40 to 1.05 mm (0.00158 to 0.0413 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| 1.05 mm (0.0413 in.) |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the reverse idler gear, needle roller bearing and reverse idler gear shaft.
INSPECT REVERSE IDLER GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the reverse idler gear radial clearance.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.015 to 0.048 mm (0.000591 to 0.00188 in.) |
| Maximum clearance |
|---|
| 0.048 mm (0.00188 in.) |
If the clearance is more than the maximum, replace the reverse idler gear, needle roller bearing and reverse idler gear shaft.
