Inspection of Reverse Idler Gear

1. INSPECT REVERSE IDLER GEAR OIL CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the reverse idler gear oil clearance.

Standard clearance: 0.041 - 0.074 mm (0.0016 - 0.0029 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.194 mm (0.0076 in.)

If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the gear or shaft.




2. INSPECT CLEARANCE OF REVERSE IDLER GEAR AND SHIFT ARM SHOE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the reverse idler gear and shift arm shoe.

Standard clearance: 0.20 - 0.41 mm (0.008 - 0.0161 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.9 mm (0.0354 in.)

If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shift arm shoe or reverse idler gear.
