Front Planetary Gear Inspection





1. CHECK FRONT PLANETARY RING GEAR BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the planetary ring gear bushing.

Maximum inside diameter: 24.08 mm (0.9480 inch)

If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the planetary ring gear.





2. MEASURE PLANETARY PINION GEAR THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the planetary pinion gear thrust clearance.

Standard clearance: 0.20-0.60 mm (0.0079-0.0236 inch)
Maximum clearance: 1.00 mm (0.0394 inch)


If the clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the planetary gear assembly.
