Backlash Adjustment
Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.
Install the pinion gear assembly with the primary shim 1.0
mm (0.039 in.) thickness.
Assemble the rear final gear case (see Rear Final Gear
Case Assembly).
Install the ring gear with the primary shims 1.0 mm (0.039
in.) thickness.
Check the backlash during t ightening the cover bolts, and
stop tightening them immediately if the backlash disap-
pears. Then, change the ring gear shim to a thinner one.
Temporarily, install the rear axle in the gear case and hold
it with a vise so that the ring gear is lower than the pinion
gear.
Mount a dial gauge [A] so that the tip of the gauge is
against the splined portion [B] of the pinion gear joint.
To measure the backlash, move the pinion gear shaft
back and forth [C] while holding the rear axle steady.
The difference between the highest and the lowest gauge
reading is the amount of backlash.
Measure backlash at three locations equally spaced on
the splines.
