Inspection of Reverse Idler Gear




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: 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.0020 - 0.0098 in.)
Maximum clearance: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)

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