1. INSPECT 6TH GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the 6th gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.20 to 0.49 mm (0.0079 to 0.0193 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the defective gear, spacer or shaft.
2. INSPECT 3RD GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a feeler gauge, measure the 3rd gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.09 to 0.52 mm (0.0035 to 0.0205 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the defective gear, thrust washer, clutch hub or shaft.
3. INSPECT 4TH GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the 4th gear thrust clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.12 to 0.38 mm (0.0047 to 0.0150 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the defective gear, clutch hub or shaft.
4. INSPECT 6TH GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the 6th gear radial clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.015 to 0.065 mm (0.0006 to 0.0026 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the defective gear, needle roller bearing or shaft.
5. INSPECT 3RD GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the 3rd gear radial clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.015 to 0.067 mm (0.0006 to 0.0026 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the defective gear, needle roller bearing or shaft.
6. INSPECT 4TH GEAR RADIAL CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the 4th gear radial clearance.
Standard clearance:
0.015 to 0.067 mm (0.0006 to 0.0026 in.)
If the clearance is outside the specification, replace the defective gear, needle roller bearing or shaft.
