Reverse Idler Gear End Play

REVERSE IDLER GEAR END PLAY





^ When adjusting reverse idler gear end play, select adjusting shim for reverse idler gear. To select adjusting shim, measure clearance between transaxle case and reverse idler gear.

End play: 0.04 - 0.10 mm (0.0016 - 0.0039 inch)
Dimension
"Q" = ("Q1 " - "Q2 ") - End play
"Q": Thickness of adjusting shim
"Q1 ": Distance between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim
"Q2 ": Distance between clutch housing case end face and end face of reverse idler gear





Adjusting Shim

CAUTION: Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.





1. Using depth micrometer and straight edge, measure dimension "Q1" between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim as shown.





2. Using depth micrometer and straight edge, measure dimension "Q2" between clutch housing case end face and end face of reverse idler gear as shown.
3. Install selected reverse idler gear adjusting shim onto reverse idler gear.
