INSPECTION OF FRONT PLANETARY GEAR




1. CHECK FRONT PLANETARY RING GEAR BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the planetary ring gear bushing.

Maximum inside diameter: 24.08 mm (0.9480 in.)

If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the planetary ring gear.




2. MEASURE PLANETARY PINION GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the planetary pinion gear thrust clearance.

Standard clearance: 0.20 - 0.60 mm (0.0079 - 0.0236 in.)
Maximum clearance: 1.00 mm (0.0394 in.)

If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the planetary gear assembly.
