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.
- Calculate dimension "Q" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the following procedure to satisfy specification of end play for reverse idler gear.
End play: 0.04 - 0.14 mm (0.0016 - 0.0055 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 straightedge, measure dimension "Q1" between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim.





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