Reverse Idler Gear End Play Adjustment

REVERSE IDLER GEAR END PLAY ADJUSTMENT

Caution: The reverse idler gear will not function properly if the lip of the friction damper comes out of contact with the inner side of the gear. When moving the reverse idler gear component, do not handle the reverse idler gear. Move the component by grasping the ends of the reverse idler shaft.

Note:
^ Adjust the reverse idler gear end play by measuring the clearance between the transaxle case and a reverse idler gear (rear), and selecting a reverse idler gear adjustment shim.





^ Calculate dimension Q for the adjustment shim thickness as defined below to adjust the reverse idler gear end play to standard value.

Standard value: 0.04 - 0.10 mm (0.0016 - 0.0039 in)
Dimension Q = (Q1 - Q2) - end play
Q: adjustment shim thickness
Q1: transaxle case contact face and adjustment shim installation surface dimension
Q2: clutch housing contact face and reverse idler gear (rear) contact face dimension

Adjustment shim thickness








1. Measure dimension Q1 between clutch housing installation surface of the transaxle case and adjustment shim installation surface using a depth gauge and straight edge.





2. Measure dimension Q2 between the transaxle case installation surface of the clutch housing and the reverse idler gear (rear) contact face using a depth gauge and straight edge.

Note: Select only one adjustment shim.

3. Install the selected reverse idler gear adjustment shim in the reverse idler gear component.
