Drive Pinion and Ring Gear, Adjusting

Drive pinion and ring gear, adjusting, 012/01W, 5 SPD. M/T

Note:
^ Drive pinion and ring gear must be very carefully adjusted to ensure long service life and smooth running. At the factory, drive pinion and ring gear are adjusted relative to each other to ensure smooth running and low noise in both directions. The location for the smoothest running is determined by moving drive pinion axially whereby ring gear is moved far enough out of the backlash-free position so that the backlash is within specified tolerances.
^ The deviation "r" from the master gauge "Ro" is marked on the outer circumference of the ring gear. Only replace gear set (ring gear and pinion shaft) together!
