Countershaft Clearance Measurement

CLEARANCE MEASUREMENT

NOTE: Lubricate all parts with ATF during assembly.

1. Remove the countershaft bearing from the transmission housing.





2. Install the parts below on the countershaft using the special tool and a press as described.

NOTE: Do not assemble the O-rings during inspection.





3. Install the parts below on the countershaft subassembly, then torque the locknut to 29 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).

NOTE: Countershaft locknut has left-hand threads.





4. Measure the clearance between the 2nd gear and the 28 mm distance collar with a feeler gauge.

NOTE: Take measurements in at least three places and use the average as the actual clearance. Standard: 0.10 - 0.18 mm (0.004 - 0.007 inch).

5. If the clearance is out of tolerance, remove the 28 mm distance collar and measure the width.





6. Select and install a new distance collar, then recheck.
7. After selecting a new distance collar, recheck the clearance and make sure it is within tolerance.
