Reverse Idler Gear End Play

REVERSE IDLER GEAR END PLAY





^ When adjusting the reverse idler gear end play, select the adjusting shim for the reverse idler gear. To select the correct thickness of adjusting shim, measure the clearance between the transaxle case and reverse idler gear.
^ Calculate the dimension "Q" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the steps to adjust the end play of the reverse idler gear to specification.
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

CAUTION: Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.





Adjusting Shim

CAUTION: Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.





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





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